Devstream 187 Overview

On Devstream 187, we took a moment to relax, have fun and include you, our Tenno, a bit more in designing and destroying all things Warframe. We spoke about upcoming quality of life in our interim Cert build, new TennoGen and the Kullervo Deluxe Skin, and witnessed the chaos of Warframe unhinged.

Our Merch store is currently offline while we’re moving warehouses. Items such as the TennoCon Merch pack will resume availability once we’ve finished our move! If you want to be alerted when that happens, you can go to the Merch store website to be notified when we’re back online!

TennoGen

We revealed seven new TennoGen pieces on Devstream 187, featuring a focus on the Entrati style! We have further TennoGen pieces on the way, but below are all the ones we revealed for now!

We began accepting ‘Entrati Style’ items last year, adding an Entrati faction guide to our TennoGen web resource. Now you’re seeing that addition to the program come to fruition!

  • Hildryn Sarcostema by Ventralhound
  • Eternalia Tower Operator Oculus by Ventralhound
  • Arocoslium Arca Plasmor Skin by Apollo Phoenix

  • Jotunheim Whip Skin by Mz-3
  • Xairaks Chest Armor & Xairaks Leg Armor by Lex182 & cedd00

Interim Build Quality Of Life

Our unnamed, upcoming Interim Build has quite the stash of quality of life. Here’s a look at all things incoming:

  • The 1999 Demo is leaving!
  • We’re implementing a catch-all Gemini Emote that’ll automatically use the corresponding Gemini transformation for the Gemini skin you have equipped!
  • Archon Shard removal costs are being changed! Each Archon Shard color uses a different secretion, and normal shards now cost half as much to remove (Tauforged Shards staying the same).
  • Arbitrations is receiving a pity store update! We’ve added the items that drop from Arbitration rotations directly to the Vendor, such as Arcanes, Mods and the Seeding Step Ephemera!
  • The Arsenal is receiving Weapon and Warframe curated categories! We’re also adding improved search functionality. Alongside this is Mod Stat searching, meaning you can press a Weapon or Warframes stat to auto-search for Mods affecting the pressed stat.
  • Minerva is getting an Auxiliary option for her Gemini skin—she can now wear her sunglasses.
  • We revealed this earlier, but you’ll be able to swap Loadouts from the Temporal/Deep Archimedea Kaya/Necraloid screens.
  • Dedicants, O Dedicants. Your reign of terror is over as we tone down their Health values by 30%.

Ivara’s Concentrated Arrow Augment is also receiving a full suite of changes:

  • A fully charged arrow has increased Critical Chance.
  • Critical Chance now applies to all Weak Point hits, not only just headshots.
  • The AoE explosion now applies Status Effects.
  • The AoE explosion now has an LoS check beyond 5 meters.

Romancing the Unromancable

The new Protoframes coming with Techrot Encore may not be romancable, but that doesn’t stop us from imagining a world where they might be!

Romancing Kaya
Romancing Minerva
Romancing... Flare with Lizzie?!

Galleon Of Ghouls

Galleon of Ghouls

From May 2nd to May 19th, a new Tactical Alert will be introduced each weekend, tasking players with capturing treacherous Ghouls. You’ll only be armed with a self-damaging Ogris using the new but familiar Volatile Ogris skin (which, yes, you do get to keep!).

This is a small scope event of Weekend Alerts, with no Abilities, Operator/Drifter, swapping weapons, using Gear Wheel items or Companions. However, Warframe Mods and Arcanes still apply!

You’ll be able to acquire the Tak & Lug Grineer Sword and Shield, and the Tonkkatt Grineer Tonfas! Over the course of May, you’ll see the following Alerts pop up:

Weekend 1: Friday, May 2 at 11 a.m. ET - Monday, May 5 at 11 a.m. ET.

Weekend 2: Friday, May 9 at 11 a.m. ET - Monday, May 12 at 11 a.m. ET.

Weekend 3: Friday, May 16 at 11 a.m. ET - Monday, May 19 at 11 a.m. ET.

Building Caliban’s Razor Gyre Augment

We’re building an Augment for Caliban’s Razor Gyre! Caliban currently doesn’t have any Augments, and with his rework not too long ago (has it really been 6 months already?), what better time is there than now?

Disclaimer: the Augment we’re making is just a prototype! What’s shown is not exactly what will appear when we launch the Augment later.

To begin, we’re starting with an Augment for Caliban’s Razor Gyre, which reads as: “Now groups the enemies you hit. Ortholyst summons will launch coordinated strikes on grouped enemies."

To start, we took Inaros’ grouping ability, and began breaking it down to work with Caliban’s Razor Gyre. Cristiano then took us through the process of coding an Augment’s functionality into a Warframe’s ability (in this case, Caliban), and how goes into the technicality of what makes a Warframe a Warframe. (It’s coding canon, not lore canon!)

Once all was done, we ended with an Augment that draws enemies in with Razor Gyre, allowing spawned Ortholysts to automatically surround the enemies, fire faster and apply guaranteed Electric Status Effects!

Plus, we may have broken it a little bit. For fun!

As a reminder, this Augment is a prototype! What was shown isn’t what will appear in-game, as we’ll have to go through a lot of coding and balancing before it gets into your hands!

Breaking The Game

As part of Devstream 188’s shenanigans, we took to the code with our “Chaos Programmer" Cristiano!

To finish: Our survey results are in—69,483 responses! Here’s a look at what everyone said on the survey!
