What does it all mean?

Don’t be daunted by everything that’s new! This by-the-numbers guide to the Star Chart breaks down what you’ll find waiting for you in the Origin System.

Complete Mission nodes and Junctions to progress through the Star Chart and earn access to new Quests and activities. If you haven’t unlocked the entire Origin System yet, this is a great way to refamiliarize yourself with Warframe and collect new loot!

Inside the Orbiter

Shake the dust off the basic functions of your home base

A Tenno’s Orbiter is their home. Yours might just look a little different since the last time you saw it! Learn about each new room and console — such as the Helminth Infirmary and your Void Relic collection.

Pick up Where you Left Off

Relive past accomplishments and prepare for the future!

Refresh yourself on the decade-long story of Warframe before a new chapter begins with Whispers in the Walls! From your reawakening in The Second Dream to the conclusion of The New War, this recap will get you back up to speed on the original epic arc.

Get ready for the start of a brand-new chapter of Warframe with Whispers in the Walls. There’s a lot you can do to get ready for this major update, so check out our list of tips on what you’ll need and how to get stronger for the main event.

Collect & Customize

Collect Warframes & Weapons

Start building your Arsenal!

There are thousands of items to collect in Warframe. Earn Resources in Missions to craft Weapons and Warframes with blueprints from the Market.

Nightwave

Daily and weekly challenges offer fantastic rewards

Complete daily and weekly challenges to earn rewards via Nightwave, available for free to all Tenno! It’s one of the best ways to collect essential upgrades, like Orokin Reactors and Orokin Catalysts, as well as Arcanes, Mods and exclusive Customizations.

Reworked Companions & Heavier Firepower

A Tenno never needs to fight alone. Faithful Companions, like Kubrows and Kavats, have seen major changes over the years. In addition to receiving some major buffs, your furry, fungal and mechanical allies no longer fall permanently in battle. Nor do they require any upkeep aboard your Orbiter, or to be put into Stasis!

Those looking for something even sturdier can also wrap themselves in heavy-duty Necramechs as well as customizable, multiplayer starships: Railjacks.

Helminth

Cross Platform Multiplayer

Multiplayer Updates

Playing Warframe with friends is easier than ever! Join your friends no matter what console they're on with Cross Platform Play and Clans. Starting with Whispers in the Walls, Cross Platform Save will also allow you to connect your own accounts for a seamless Warframe experience no matter where you play!

While Warframe is always great to enjoy with your fellow Tenno, it’s also the best way to take on tougher challenges like Sorties, Archon Hunts and Eidolons.

Clans & Dojos

Join or create a Clan to gain access to a Dojo: a highly customizable home base for you and all your friends! Dojos also grant access to Research Labs that provide important blueprints,allowing you to craft unique Weapons, Warframes and resources. You’ll also be able to construct your very own Dry Dock to house and upgrade your Railjack before taking off on spaceborne Missions.

Explore, Hunt & Craft!

Open Worlds

Traverse massive Landscapes dense with secrets.

Against a canvas of endless conflict, holdouts of civilization remain. Explore open world areas like the ghostly Plains of Eidolon and the infested moon of Deimos. Each is dense with wildlife, precious gems and even fish for you to hunt and collect!

Syndicates

Make powerful friends… and enemies.

Aid unique Syndicates — like the friendly Ostron of Cetus and the hardworking Solaris of Fortuna — to earn their trust and purchase rewards with Standing. Complete their open world Bounties to earn daily Standing and gain access to more wares.

You can also pledge yourself to one of six major Syndicates from your Orbiter or any public Relay. Play to earn Standing you can use to show your loyalty and purchase new gear. Be wary, though. All six of these factions come with a rival which won’t appreciate your efforts…

Take on Harder Challenges

Adversaries

Take on a foe that is uniquely your own and whose powers grow the longer you fight them. Whether a Kuva Lich or Sister of Parvos, your personal Adversary will hunt you through the system — granting tremendous rewards if you can discover their weakness and face their fury in a final confrontation.

Break Narmer & Archon Hunts

The New War may be over, but its echoes are keenly felt across the Origin System. Deadly Archons remain a lingering threat. Earn Archon Shards in the weekly Archon Hunt to permanently increase your Warframes’ stats. Aid Kahl as he quells the danger in Break Narmer Missions and purchase extra Archon Shards as a reward from his Garrison.

Roguelike Adventures

The Duviri Paradox

Enter a bizarre roguelike world.

The endlessly looping world of Duviri brings a roguelike experience to Warframe. Newcomers will get a chance to test drive a variety of random Warframes, while veteran players may scour Duviri’s floating islands for powerful, evolving Incarnon Weapons. The paradox rewards all who brave its various challenges.
