During this limited event, players can rally together to defend the Plains of Eidolon on Earth, one of Warframe’s expansive open world maps, against Infested lifeforms before they make their way to Cetus. Operation: Plague Star will feature a slew of anticipated player rewards, including the new Ghoulsaw -- the cruelest of weapons built for the crudest of Grineer soldiers. Available only through participating in Operation: Plague Star, the Ghoulsaw features a multitude of aerial attacks, slide attacks, and heavy-hitting combos making it a weapon that Warframe players will not want to miss out on adding to their Arsenals. During this three-week event, players participating in Operation: Plague Star will also have the chance to receive Nidus Prime Relics in drops, adding an additional bonus path to earning Nidus Prime in Warframe.

The latest Warframe update also introduces the Revenant Mephisto Collection to the Warframe Market, a unique alternative skin for the Revenant Warframe, and brings some changes to Yareli’s movement ability, introducing a foundational change to Merulina Dashing and Stat changes to Yareli’s abilities across the board, including:

RipTide:

Prime Access Media F.A.Q.

What is Prime Access?

Prime Access is a rotating program that includes the latest Prime Warframe, Prime Accessories and Prime Weapons and is bundled with discounted Platinum amongst other exclusive items.  Prime Access can be purchased by players to grant instant access to the featured Prime Warframe instead of collecting and building through playing.  

What is a Prime Warframe?

A Prime Warframe offers increased base stats and extra Polarity Slots which provides for more Mod customization and stronger builds. Not every Warframe or Weapon has a Prime variant, but when given the choice, players should progress their Primes for ideal performance in battle over their regular counterparts. 

Can players still unlock and play as the base Warframe Nidus?

Yes, players have access to the base Warframe Nidus right now, his Blueprint can be unlocked as a reward for completing The Glast Gambit quest. He is also available in the In-Game Market for purchase with Platinum. 

Will players be able to earn Nidus Prime without paying?

Yes, players can collect Relics which can then be cracked open to unlock Nidus Prime and the various Components needed to build him. For a limited time only, these Relics can be acquired by participating in Operation: Plague Star, running from September 8 - September 30, 2021.

When will Nidus Prime release?

Nidus Prime Access is available now and can be instantly unlocked from the Warframe Market or earned by collecting Nidus Prime Relics.
