Performance Optimization:

Our work on making Trials a smooth experience for Console Tenno gave us the unique opportunity to make improvements to Warframe's overall quality of life. One of the major hurdles in Trial development was ensuring that a full squad of Tenno could take on the overwhelming number of enemies present in Trials -- something our previous design was ill-equipped to handle.

That's why Update 16.5 doesn't just contain new content, but a complete overhaul of in-game performance. Whether connecting to local friends or fully randomized Squads from the depths of the Void matchmaking players should now experience a significant improvement in FPS when playing in Squads.
