The Corpus Board of Directors is in shambles. Infighting has ground its System-spanning operation to a screeching halt. Eager to fill the power vacuum himself, Nef Anyo has initiated The Deadlock Protocol.

We are Desire. Ours is the grasping golden hand. We. Are. Corpus.

Nef Anyo claims to have found an heir to the long-deceased Corpus Founder, Parvos Granum, and has the means to prove it. The Solaris have begun disappearing in droves and Eudico thinks it has something to do with Nef’s power play. Whoever they are, the heir to the Founder would be able to solve the stalemate and stage a total takeover of the Corpus Board. If Nef Anyo has anything to do with it, that spells bad news for the Solaris.

The Deadlock Protocol sheds new light on the industrious origins of the Corpus, introduces the time-bending Warframe, Protea and includes a remastered Corpus fleet full of innovative threats and escalating security measures.

To begin The Deadlock Protocol Quest, make sure you have completed the Vox Solaris Quest.

CORPUS SHIP REMASTER

The entire Corpus fleet has been retrofitted and redeployed for service. Explore remastered levels, complete with shrines to the illustrious Parvos Granum, but beware of new dangers lurking aboard.

As you infiltrate Corpus vessels, fight enemies and generally interrupt the pursuit of Grofit, the Corpus will use every piece of their security arsenal to stop you. Be prepared for upgraded Turrets and deadly reinforcements.

PROXY WAR: THE JACKAL

Return to Fossa to face an upgraded threat. Equipped with a suite of the latest technology and upgraded combat capabilities, the Corpus have spent mind-boggling sums of Credits for the sole purpose of taking you out.

Experienced Tenno can enjoy seven days of Jackal Sorties following release, where you can take on the reworked Jackal in a high-level area!

GRANUM CROWNS: THE CURRENCY OF CORPUS DEVOTION

Out of desperation to locate any last trace of the Founder, the Corpus have developed a way to open Void portals. Eudico believes they’ve been kidnapping Solaris to use as guinea pigs and needs your help to rescue them.

The portals are built through Golden Hand Tributes, a spot of worship for faithful Corpus. By spending their Granum Crowns, a valuable manifestation of their devotion, the Corpus can open a rift and send expeditions to Void sites.

Thankfully, you can use these Granum Crowns to your advantage. Within every Corpus Ship remastered mission, you’ll encounter a Treasurer: a devoted follower of Parvos and all he stood for, willing to dedicate his life to be the keeper of the tokens of his esteem.

Collect three tiers of Crowns from Treasurers in your Missions, each signifying a higher level of devotion than the last: Granum Crowns, Exemplar Granum Crowns and Zenith Granum Crowns. Use them to initiate challenges in Missions, search for Corpus Temple Reliefs or negotiate the release of Solaris prisoners in exchange for Standing.

The level of your mission determines the tier of Crowns the Treasurer will possess. Handle him with haste before he escapes with his sacred tokens!

Granum Crowns can also be spent at the Corpus Temple Reliefs in Missions to learn more about the Founder. Each new story you acquire will earn you Relief Decorations for your Orbiter!

WIELD TIME AS PROTEA

Prepared for any battle, the versatile Protea offers a wealth of advanced gadgets to overcome the odds. Time is your ally as you weave in and out of life-threatening engagements with your Temporal Anchor Ability.

Activate to drop an anchor point that records Protea’s state. Any damage dealt to Protea during the Ability will be emitted back to your foes upon deactivation. Deactivating Temporal Anchor will rewind Protea back to the activation point restoring all ammo, energy, shields and health. If Protea is downed while Temporal Anchor is active, Protea will automatically rewind to safety!

FOUR NEW AUGMENTS

Get ready to mix up your builds, Tenno. Atlas, Nidus, Valkyr and Saryn are getting new Augment Mods, granting potent modifiers to their Abilities.

NINTENDO SWITCH SHADER REMASTER

To reduce the size of The Deadlock Protocol update, we’ve once again remastered shaders! Once the update is live, the download size will appear larger (1.71 GB) than the update’s actual total size due to the remastering process. Once it is complete, the update’s total size will only be 1 GB. This will make Warframe’s total size on the Nintendo Switch approximately 21.8 GB. Prepare for the update by making sure you have at least 2 GB free on your Switch in order for the download and its remaster portion to begin once it is live.

Put a stop to the Deadlock Protocol and you’ll send a message to the Corpus in the only language they understand: Credits and power.
