Mag can be selected at the start of the tutorial quest, Awakening, when you first venture into the Origin System. Other starter options include Excalibur and Volt.

Even though you can only pick one starter Warframe at the start of the game, you can still craft all three Warframes via your Foundry by obtaining blueprints from specific missions. Mag's Blueprints can be earned by defeating The Sergeant — an Assassination Target found via the Iliad node on Phobos.

To reach The Sergeant, you first need to reach Phobos. You can do so by finishing the following steps:

Unlock the Venus Junction

• Complete the Saya’s Vigil Quest, amongst other tasks to access this Junction!

Unlock the Mercury Junction

• Complete the Vox Solaris Quest, amongst other tasks to access this Junction!

Unlock the Mars Junction

• Complete the Once Awake Quest, amongst other tasks to access this Junction!

Unlock the Phobos Junction

• Finish Missions on Phobos until you reach the Iliad node, at the top of the planet! (The optimal path is: Roche > Skyresh > Monolith > Iliad)

For more information on how to finish these quests and unlock Junctions, see our Warframe Main Story Quest guide.

You will need to defeat The Sergeant multiple times to earn all of the necessary Blueprints for Mag. The Sergeant is guaranteed to drop a Mag component blueprint every time you defeat him.

We've listed the drop chances below, but you can check the full drop chances for these and other items in our Drop Table.

Face off via the Iliad mission on Phobos to earn the following blueprints:

• Mag Neuroptics Blueprint (38.72% Chance)
• Mag Chassis Blueprint (38.72% Chance)
• Mag Systems Blueprint (22.56% Chance)

To obtain the Main Blueprint for Mag, simply purchase it via the Market for Credits!

You can craft all of these items from the Foundry aboard your Orbiter. Each Warframe component (i.e. the Neuroptics, Chassis, and Systems) requires 12 real-world hours to craft. Whereas Mag herself requires 72 real-world hours to craft once all three components are ready in your inventory.

You can also purchase Mag (and all other base Warframes) directly from the Market with Platinum.

How to Get Mag Prime

Mag Prime can be purchased from Varzia on Maroo's Bazaar (located on Mars) during Prime Resurgence. You can purchase her directly using Regal Aya or buy Void Relics containing her Blueprints with standard Aya. Standard Aya is acquired from many different activities, including Bounties and completing Missions in The Void.

Likewise, you can trade with other players for the proper Void Relics or Blueprints. Check the Trading channel or ask your Clanmates to find and trade for the Blueprints you need!

Prime Resurgence rotates every few weeks, bringing different Prime Warframes with it, so be sure to check back often to see if the one you want is available!
