Warframe – The Seven Crimes of Kullervo | All Hotfixes June 2023

Update 33.5: The Seven Crimes of Kullervo

The Seven Crimes of Kullervo are on display for all to see! A new island has appeared just off the Duviri mainland, a prison to hold a guilt-ridden betrayer: Kullervo. Enter Kullervo’s Hold to uncover his crimes for yourself and be tested against this formidable opponent. Dive into Kullervo’s story by playing the new time-limited node that shares its name with the new Duviri island Kullervo’s Hold. Accessible via the Duviri region in the Star Chart, 5 Pathos Clamps is your entry price to a Lone Story version of the Sorrow Spiral destined to bring you head-on against Kullervo to punish him for his crimes against the Kingdom. Our 53rd Warframe, Kullervo has arrived! Dance in a flurry of blades and seize the power of treachery with his signature shotgun the Rauta. The Undercroft’s power has grown with a brand new tile, and the Void has brought a familiar character to its Exterminate missions. Dive into brand new side objectives in The Duviri Experience with Kaithe Racing, Undercroft Portals, Lost Belongings, and Recover the Paragrimm’s Tomes. Dominus Thrax has also made numerous new Decrees, but has gotten wise to the Drifter’s ways and included a few Spiteful Decrees. Adorn yourself for your adventures across Duviri and the Origin System with new stylish cosmetics, including the Gauss Kresnik Collection and so much more. It’s time for the great betrayal! Read on for details on the above and everything else packed into Update 33.5: The Seven Crimes of Kullervo!

The Seven Crimes of Kullervo is a Mainline Update!

Meaning that everything the team has been working on since the launch of The Duviri Paradox is in this update (with the obvious exception of content that is not ready to be released). It is very likely, as it is with all Mainline updates, that things can slip through the cracks so we will be looking at reports here for any fixes and changes for follow-up Hotfixes to come.

NEW DUVIRI ISLAND & TIME-LIMITED NODE: KULLERVO’S HOLD

Duviri brings forth a formidable opponent, locked away in perpetual imprisonment for crimes listed, sevenfold. Kullervo’s Hold is a new Duviri Island and time-limited node that grants access to a most notorious inhabitant, Kullervo.  But first, you must learn what lies ahead before engaging in a tangle of blades with this mystifying convict. The Fight:  Kullervo’s fight unfolds in three stages, each requiring you to defeat Kullervo as he exits his holding cells. Persecutor Liminus are quick to be alerted when there is activity in the Hold and will enter the fight at Kullervo’s dismay. Dueling Kullervo will be a test of all that you have learned in Duviri. Use the skills and Drifter Intrinsics honed by your blade to battle your way to glory against this formidable master of knives. Evade ranged attacks, vengeful backstabs, and unblockable strikes if you wish to survive the onslaught of this tortured warrior. Tenno will need to parry, counter, and rely on their wits if they wish to escape Kullervo’s Hold with their lives intact. Time-Limited Node: Starting today @ 12 PM ET until July 5th @ 12 PM ET, face off against the most felonious persona this side of the Watershed Hamlet in a time-limited node that gives you guaranteed access to him (read on to also learn about his permanent access methods). Sealed in a permanent Sorrow Spiral, this time-limited node is a special rendition of The Lone Story which grants you guaranteed access to fighting Kullervo as part of the Stages to complete. As with all Spirals, defeating the Orowyrm is also the grand finale to this Lone Story.

Node Requirements:

• Completed The Duviri Paradox Quest
• (5) Pathos Clamps to access the fight through Kullervo's Hold, a custom Sorrow Spiral. The access fee is applied at the end of the mission in case you experience a mid-mission disconnect. In combination with the Pathos Clamps rewarded from the required Orowyrm phase, the normal path will reward you with 5 Pathos Clamps, and Steel Path will reward 10 Pathos Clamps (offsetting the initial deposit of 5).

If you have yet to fight the Orowyrm to earn Pathos Clamps in Duviri, now is the time! This time-limited node is our way of encouraging players to experience and complete a full Spiral in Duviri if they have yet to do so. Duviri has much to offer, and Kullervo awaits your visitation for a dance of blades.  How to Play the Node:  Enter the “Kullervo’s Hold” node from the Duviri region in the Star Chart and complete the Spiral stages. Going blade to blade with Kullervo happens during the last stage before fighting the Orowyrm. Successfully defeating Kullervo and the Orowyrm will reward you handsomely (listed below). Permanent Access: Outside of the time-limited node, Kullervo’s Hold is an island that appears in Duviri during the Anger, Fear and Sorrow Spirals.  Fighting Kullervo at the Kullervo’s Hold island has a chance of being a main Spiral stage in The Lone Story/The Duviri Experience and can also be completed as a side objective in The Duviri Experience (during the aforementioned Spirals). Once he has been defeated he cannot be fought again in that session. Facing off against Kullervo outside of the special Node does not cost you 5 Pathos Clamps, should you come across him as a main Spiral stage or choose to fight him as a side objective. Fighting Kullervo in The Lone Story: Defeating Kullervo has a chance of being one of the Spiral stages to complete during the Anger, Fear and Sorrow Spirals. If it does, it will occur in the second half of the stages so that players have accumulated at least 3 Decrees before fighting him. Fighting Kullervo in The Duviri Experience: In addition to fighting Kullervo as a main Spiral Stage, players can also voluntarily start the fight as a side objective during the Anger, Fear and Sorrow Spirals. Head to Kullervo’s Hold island and speak to The Warden overlooking the cells. Selecting “Confront Kullervo” will begin the fight. Tread carefully, Kullervo is a fearsome opponent and his attacks are infused with Elemental Damage based on the active Spiral. It is recommended to enter the fight with at least 5 Decrees selected.  Reminder: Facing off against Kullervo outside of the special Node will not cost you 5 Pathos Clamps. Rewards for defeating Kullervo:  The following applies to both the time-limed node and permanent post-node access.

• Drifter Intrinsics
• Duviri Resources
• A Decree
• New: Kullervo’s Bane 
  • Rewarded after you have defeated both Kullervo AND the Orowyrm in all of the modes (Time-Limited Node, The Lone Story, and The Duviri Experience).* 
    • *If the Orowyrm is defeated before fighting Kullervo as a side objective in The Duviri Experience, Kullervo’s Bane is rewarded immediately after he has been slain (since the condition of defeating the Orowyrm has already been met). 
  • Normal: Chance at receiving either 4, 5, or 6 Kullervo’s Bane
  • Steel Path: Chance at receiving either 6, 7, or 8 Kullervo’s Bane
    • We've caught an issue just before launch that the team will be working to Hotfix ASAP in regards to the amount of Bane given. 

Acrithis’ Wares: Kullervo’s Archive  Use Kullervo’s Bane to obtain Kullervo’s Blueprints and the Blueprint and Components for the Rauta, from Acrithis’ Wares under the new “Kullervo’s Archive” option. NEW WARFRAME: KULLERVO Kullervo answers for his sins and the sins of others. His daggers and melee prowess deal high damage. Seize the power of treachery to slake his thirst for revenge. Passive Kullervo boasts +75% Heavy Attack Efficiency and +100% Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed on all melee weapons. Wrathful Advance (TAP) Kullervo charges a Heavy Attack then teleports to his target and strikes. His rage-filled focus temporarily increases his Melee Critical Chance. (HOLD) Teleport to any marked location. Wrathful Advance is Kullervo’s Helminth ability with diminished Range and Melee Critical Chance increase.  Recompense Kullervo surrounds himself with daggers. Each dagger that strikes an enemy restores his health, but each dagger that misses an enemy strikes Kullervo, dealing a bit of damage. When Kullervo has max Health, he receives Overguard* from struck enemies. *Overguard is a defense mechanic that was made available to Warframes with The Duviri Paradox. While active, it grants additional Health protection and provides Knockdown Immunity.  Collective Curse Kullervo sends forth a curse that binds enemies. When a cursed enemy takes damage, every other cursed enemy also suffers a portion of that damage. Storm of Ukko The Void answers Kullervo’s invocation with a storm of daggers that rain down upon his enemies. Storm of Ukko is Kullervo’s Railjack ability.  Purchase Kullervo from the in-game Market for instant access or earn it by fighting him in Kullervo’s Hold to earn Kullervo’s Bane to spend at Acrithis’ Wares.  NEW SHOTGUN: RAUTA  Kullervo’s signature weapon boasts melee synergy. Engage enemies in close combat to boost your initial melee combo and deliver a devastating takedown. Purchase the Rauta from the in-game Market for instant access or earn it by fighting Kullervo in Kullervo’s Hold to earn Kullervo’s Bane to spend at Acrithis’ Wares.  KULLERVO USVAH HELMET Don the haze of fury. AHLTO SYANDANA The Void makes its mark on Kullervo’s signature Syandana. KULLERVO COLLECTION Command the wrath of Kullervo. His collection includes the Kullervo Warframe, Kullervo Usvah Helmet, Ahlto Syandana, and Rauta Shotgun. UNDERCROFT CHANGES New Undercroft Tile  We have added a new tile to the Undercroft for you to battle and traverse. Keen Tenno will notice an academic atmosphere as they fight the hordes of Dominus Thrax’s minions. This tile will be available in both the Circuit and while traversing the Undercroft as a main Spiral Stage and side objective (read the “New Side Objectives” section to learn more!). Captain Vor Arrives In The Undercroft To those Tenno traversing the Undercroft, there is a chance you happen across one of the Tenno’s oldest foes. Captain Vor is guaranteed to spawn in all instances of Exterminate missions in the Undercroft. His health increases for each additional member in the squad. He must be defeated to successfully complete the Undercroft mission. On defeat, Captain Vor will drop Rune Marrow and has a chance to drop the Vor Sigil. Undercroft Exterminate Mission Change: 

• Slightly reduced the number of enemies required to exterminate (scales with number of players in squad).

Undercroft Defense Mission Changes

• Reduced waves from 5 to 3.
  • In an effort to decrease the length of Defense missions in the Undercroft, we’ve opted to reduce the number of waves to complete.
• Increased enemy spawns and added Eximus units to defeat at the end of the mission.
  • With the wave reduction, we want to maintain a level of challenge throughout the mission by ending it with a bang. 
• The Defense Target will now regenerate its Shields to full in between waves.
  • In light of the increase in enemy spawns and the addition of Eximus units, we wanted to ensure the target wasn’t in any immediate danger of being destroyed right on wave reset. 

Undercroft Survival Mission Changes

• Slightly reduced drop rate of Life Support capsules from enemies.
  • Since Undercroft Survival does not last longer than 5 minutes, it does not need to use the same rules that let players stay indefinitely in an endless Origin System’s Survival mission. As long as players are killing enemies and activating Life Support towers when needed, this shouldn’t cause any problems!

NEW ARCANES Power up your Arsenal with these new Arcanes! Earn them in The Steel Path Circuit, side objective Undercroft Portals in The Steel Path Duviri Experience, and from Acrithis’ Wares (with the Rank 9 “High Value Vendor” Opportunity Drifter Intrinsic). *Stats shown at max rank Arcane Power Ramp (Warframe)  On Ability Cast: Next Ability cast gains +9% Ability Strength, stacking up to 4x. Resets when the same ability is recast consecutively. Primary Blight (Primary) On Toxin Status Effect: +3.6%% Critical Damage and +1.8%  Multishot for 12s. Stacks up to 40x Akimbo Slip Shot (Dual Pistol Secondary) While sliding or aim gliding: Gain 65% ammo efficiency with Dual Pistols. Secondary Outburst (Secondary)  On swapping to Secondary Weapon, consume all Combo Multipliers to increase Secondary Weapon Critical Damage by 12% per Combo consumed for 15s. NEW SIDE OBJECTIVES There are now more ways to interact with The Duviri Experience with 4 new side objectives: Undercroft Portals, Kaithe Races, Recovering the Paragrimm’s Tomes, and finding Lost Belongings.

Side Objective Undercroft Portals 

During your time in Duviri, you have ventured into many Undercroft portals as part of the Spiral stages. Now, you can enter the Undercroft as a Side Objective in The Duviri Experience! Outside of the portals that spawn for Spiral stages, there will always be a total of 3 side objective portals available in Duviri. They spawn at different locations each visit! Approaching these portals will mark them on your map while you are in relative proximity to them so that you can return if you are unable to conquer them immediately. Requirement to enter: You must acquire 7 Decrees before entering The Undercroft! The reason being so that you are fully prepared for the challenges that await on the other side of the portal. These side objective portals are disabled when a main Spiral stage requires you enter a designated portal. Note that the Rank 3 Opportunity Intrinsic “Lucky Opener” which grants a free Decree upon entering Duviri does not count towards the 7 Decrees needed to enter. Difficulty:  Enemies in these side objective Undercroft portals are much more challenging than your average Spiral stage portal. In addition to the following level modifiers, these portals are also Eximus Strongholds, meaning you can expect more Eximus units to spawn for an added layer of difficulty.

• Default: +25 level modifier
• Steel Path: +75 level modifier (with the usual Health, Armor, and Shields modifiers)

Once you have completed the Undercroft mission, the portal then becomes deactivated - similar to other side objectives once completed. Rewards:  Completion of a side objective Undercroft Portal rewards the following:

• Default: A Rare Decree, Drifter Intrinsics, and one of the following Arcanes:
  • Arcane Ice
  • Arcane Nullifier
  • Arcane Deflection
  • Arcane Healing
  • Arcane Resistance
  • Arcane Agility
  • Arcane Eruption
  • Arcane Phantasm
  • Arcane Pulse
  • Arcane Ultimatum
  • Arcane Trickery
  • Arcane Consequence
  • Arcane Acrachne
• Steel Path: A Rare Decree, Drifter Intrinsics, and one the following Arcanes:
  • Secondary Shiver
  • Longbow Sharpshot
  • Arcane Reaper
  • Arcane Intention
  • Primary Exhilarate
  • Shotgun Vendetta
  • Primary Obstruct
  • Magus Aggress
  • Primary Blight (NEW)
  • Arcane Power Ramp (NEW)
  • Akimbo Slip Shot (NEW)
  • Secondary Outburst (NEW)

Kaithe Racing Returns Put your riding skills to the test! Mount your Kaithe then race across the terrain and through the sky to clear gates in record time. Kaithe Races can appear as a Spiral stage and side objective in The Duviri Experience. How to Kaithe Race:  Start the race by entering the first gate, once crossed the timer countdown begins! Clear all of the required gates to complete the race. Each successful gate crossed adds 3 seconds to the time to complete the race. Shooting the targets also grants 3 seconds of additional time. There is no penalty for skipping gates, but you do miss out on gaining those extra seconds! Side Objective Kaithe Races:  Can you beat Brimon, the fastest Kaithe racer in the Kingdom? Locate him in the Duviri Landscape to accept the challenge! There are a total of 2 side objective races per session that can be completed while playing in a squad (solo has no limit). Kaithe Racing Rewards:  Successfully completing a Kaithe race rewards Drifter Intrinsics, a Decree and Duviri resources. The more players from the squad join into the race and complete it, the better the rewards are for the whole team! Recover the Paragrimm’s Tomes  Take to the skies for a bird’s eye view of the area! Look through the eyes of a Paragrimm to find Tomes and mark them for collection. Recover the Paragrimm’s Tomes is available only in The Duviri Experience as a side objective. Recover the Paragrimm’s Tomes Rewards: Finding all of the required targets will reward Duviri resources, Drifter Intrinsics, and a Decree. Lost Belongings Duviri’s citizens have a knack for misplacing their belongings, and it should come as no surprise that some of these items have ended up in Duviri’s caves. Scour the caves of Duviri’s underbelly for Lost Belongings while keeping an eye out for Liminus who are keen on keeping these items to themselves Lost Belongings can appear as a main Spiral stage and as a side objective in The Duviri Experience. Lost Belongings Rewards: Collecting all of the Lost Belongings will reward Duviri resources, Drifter Intrinsics, and a Decree! NEW DECREES  New Decrees have been added to the randomized pool of options upon completing Spiral stages and side objectives! Dominus Thrax has also gotten wise to the Drifter’s ways and has introduced 5 Spiteful Decrees that require a sacrifice to gain the listed benefits. Discover new Decree combinations to take your Drifter and Warframe loadouts to the next level. Values marked with an asterisk* can be stacked and are shown at max.  Blazing Bombardment Every fifth shot that hits its target launches a homing fireball at a nearby enemy, dealing 240%* Heat Damage. Nimble Gunner Rolling grants 75%* Ammo Efficiency for 4 seconds. Tamm's Fortune Finisher attacks grant +500 Armor for 10 seconds. Armor boost triples for Warframes. Brimon's Nerve     Finishers grant +200% Ability Strength to your next Power Strike or Warframe Ability. Wyrmling's Aid Shots deal an extra hit with 200%* Corrosive Damage. Corrosive Grit Each stack of Corrosion grants 180* Armor, up to 5x, for 12 seconds. Molten Mettle On Finishers, deal 60%* of enemy's maximum Health as a Heat Damage 10m around the target. Salted Wound     Heavy Attacks deal an extra hit with +180%* Corrosive Damage. Fortified Will Every 50 Armor grants 15%* Ability Strength and Power Strike damage. Scornful Cast     Casting an Ability deals 250* Corrosive Damage to nearby enemies and applies 10* Corrosion stacks. Damage radius doubles for Warframes. Dominus Temper (Spiteful Decree) Sacrifice -50% Maximum Health to increase damage by +10% for every 100 Health remaining. Mercurial Bent (Spiteful Decree) -50% Status Duration, +200% Status Chance Fragile Vanity (Spiteful Decree) Sacrifice -50% Armor to increase the base damage of your shots by 1 for every 20 Armor remaining. Churlish Chatter (Spiteful Decree) Sacrifice weapon accuracy for +150% Multishot. King's Collateral (Spiteful Decree) Take 50% more damage for a 200% chance to receive Rare Decrees. General Decree Changes and Fixes: 

• Drifter Melee Power Strikes and Warframe Melee Ground Slams now benefit from damage buffs from Decrees.
• Fixed cases where an “On damage” Decree would cancel out the ability to trigger another “On damage” Decree if both were triggered in the same instance.
  • For example: Critical Frost grants an extra instance of Cold Damage when you score a critical hit, and Bombastines Malice delivers area of effect Toxin Damage on a headshot. If both were active and you got a critical headshot on an enemy while Critical Frost was triggered, Bombastine’s Malice wouldn’t have a chance to inflict area of effect Toxin Damage. 
• Fixed the Decree selection UI always showing the default controller binding regardless of the current assignment.
• Fixed the “Reroll Decree” button appearing before the Decrees appear on screen.
  • It will now appear slightly after the Decrees appear to avoid accidentally clicking it before the selections are visible. 
• Fixed hearing the “Decree earned” SFX when mounting Kaithe with unselected Decrees.
• Fixed the “Proficient Fighter” Decree’s (Drifter Ability cooldown reduced by 45%*. Warframes gain +45%* Ability Efficiency.) cooldown reduction being doubled for the first two stacks.
• Fixed being unable to reload or fire the Hema with the Rolling Reload Decree selected.

DUVIRI RESOURCE EXTRACTING: SPROUT  You can now collect Duviri plant resources right from the comforts of Teshin’s Cave with the new SPROUT (Self-Perpetuating Regular Operation for Utilizing Terrain) system. Grow and Cultivate in Teshin’s Cave: Every 20 hours, 6 random plants from Duviri will grow and mature for harvesting in Teshin’s Cave. Simply approach the planters located in the room between your Kaithe and the mirror to cultivate resources from these fully grown plants. The growth timer resets once you collect the resources from Teshin’s Cave. Check back once the plants have matured again to harvest, rinse repeat! The resources harvested can immediately be used to purchase wares from Acrithis if you happen to come across her in the Duviri Landscape. For the launch of this update, the plants are already fully matured and waiting for you to collect them. If you enter Teshin’s Cave with a squad, each individual squad member has access to their own plants and will see their growth progress. Witness Growth in the Dormizone: VERD-IE (Vegetation and Environment Regulation Drone - Independent Element) is tasked with taking care of your plants in the Dormizone while you are away conquering Duviri - what a pal! The Dormizone provides a look at how your plants are growing in Teshin’s Cave before committing to entering for harvest. NEW ACRITHIS WARES - ENIGMA ARCHIVES  Acrithis has expanded her wares in a brand new category of goods called Enigma Archives. Spend your hard earned Enigma Gyrum (from completing Enigmas in Duviri) on brand new decorations taken directly from the Duviri landscape:

Ueymag Barb can also appear in the Normal and Steel Path Circuit reward paths. The Vagabond Rumors tell of a mysterious stranger appearing across Duviri. Nobody knows where they've come from, but supposedly they've been spotted near places of extreme emotion. However, the moment no one is looking, the stranger disappears. How... Strange... Zariman Tablets Tablets from the Zariman have begun appearing around Duviri. These testing tablets contain a single question and await the correct answer. You have the answers, don’t you Tenno? Somachord Tones Duviri has plenty of unique music, and the addition of Somachord Tones means that music can now be available in the Orbiter! Find them hidden across Duviri and pick them up to unlock the songs in your personal Somachord. It’s time to bring some Duviri flair back to the Origin System. There are 10 new Somachord songs you can unlock by collecting their fragments in Duviri:

• Complete a mission stage in the Steel Path Circuit.
• Complete a full Spiral in The Duviri Experience (ie. defeating the Orowyrm)
• Complete a full Spiral in The Lone Story (ie. defeating the Orowyrm)

Zariman Steel Path Trophy Fix The introduction of Duviri Steel Path Trophies also fixes the issue of players not earning Zariman Steel Path trophies after completing all nodes (as they were not registering as complete), because Duviri was being counted as part of the Zariman region upon launch. Players who have completed the Zariman nodes prior to this update will now also receive their Steel Path rewards upon login.

INCARNON GENESES CHANGES

Incarnon Geneses Removal: Cavalero can now remove Incarnon Geneses in the Chrysalith on the Zariman! Select the “Evolve Incarnon Weapons” option and then the weapon you wish to remove the Incarnon Genesis from. The new “Remove Incarnon'' option is available upon selecting an eligible Incarnon Weapon via the Evolution screen from Cavalero. Removing an Incarnon Genesis will return it to your inventory, but you will not be refunded for the original resources used to install it. 

General Incarnon Geneses Changes & Fixes: 

• Added “Owned” and “Installed” Icons to Incarnon Geneses you own / have installed in the Steel Path Circuit Rewards selection screen.
• Soma (base and Prime) Incarnon Genesis Changes:
  • Soma Prime’s Incarnon Form fire now triggers the “Hata-Satya” Augment Mod’s Critical Chance buff.
    • Prior to this change, the Hata-Satya was part of the following list of Augment Mods that had no interaction with their weapon’s Incarnon Form - this is their current status: 
      • Kunai’s Stockpiled Blight: It is intended for the Mod not to interact as it specifies Magazine capacity and Kunai’s Incarnon Form uses charges to fire, not ammo. 
      • Latron’s Double Tap: We are investigating functionality and will share the outcome. 
  • Increased Status Chance and weighted total damage slightly more towards Slash Damage.
  •  “Fresh Havoc” Evolution IV perk 1:
    • Increased the damage from +4 to +6 on reload from empty.
    • Changed stacks from 3x to 2x.
  • “Elemental Balance” Evolution IV perk 2 has been replaced with “Fatal Aflection”:
    • +40% damage per Status affecting target.
  • “Zeroed In” Evolution IV perk 3:
  • Increased Critical Damage from +0.4x to +0.6x.
• Melee Slam Damage Mods (such as Seismic Wave) now affect the Furax Incarnon Mode’s AOE Heat Damage on Heavy Slam attacks.
• Updated the description for Furis’ “Stormburst” Evolution I perk to better explain how it is triggered:
  • Was: Increase Damage by +28 (Furis) / +34 (MK1). On Hit with Electricity: +40% multishot for 2s. Stacks up to 3x.
  • Now: Increase Damage by +28 (Furis) / +34 (MK1). On hitting enemies affected by Electricity Status: +40% multishot for 2s. Stacks up to 3x.
• Changed Dread’s “Coup De Grace” Incarnon Evolution II perk name to “Stalker’s Resentment” and updated its description to better inform of its interaction with the other Stalker weapons.
  • Was: Increase Damage by +10. +10% Fire Rate, stacks up to 5x. Resets on missed shot. Now: Increase Damage by +50. With Hate and Despair Equipped: Hits increase damage by +10, stacks up to 5x. +10% Fire Rate, stacks up to 5x. Resets on missed shot.
• Fixed a redundant hit effect from the Paris’ Incarnon mode by removing it.
  • The projectile on the Paris’ Incarnon mode had an unnecessary passthrough effect that would still trigger every time it hit a target, which was not needed!
• Fixed the explosions from Hate’s Incarnon Form causing players to be self-staggered or knocked down.
• Fixed Furis’ Incarnon Form causing self-damage when shooting an enemy that is affected by Scourge’s Alt-Fire.
• Fixed Sibear’s “ice field on Slam” in Incarnon Mode missing its VFX - making it seem as if it is not functional. This was purely a visual bug, the effects of the ice field still applied.
• Fixed the Zylok's Incarnon Form explosion not hitting enemies within range of the explosion if they were obstructed by another enemy.
• Fixed low level enemies killed by headshots not filling the Incarnon Mode gauge for Primary and Secondary Incarnon weapons.
• Fixed the Torid gaining Incarnon charges by shooting at dead enemies.
• Fixed headshots from the Dual Toxocyst counting as body shots due to its high Status - making it extremely difficult to complete the Evolution IV challenge (“Get 17 consecutive headshots”) as Status Effects would often reset it.
• Fixed Melee Incarnon weapons (original and Genesis) missing their Incarnon Form stats in the Arsenal.
• Fixed the Innodem not transforming into Incarnon Mode when performing a Heavy Attack with the required 5x Melee combo count (also affected the Evolution IV “Incarnon Imago” perk).
• Fixed Nami Solo’s “Master's Flourish”  Incarnon Evolution II perk constantly regenerating Health instead of “On Finisher” as intended.
• Fixed Bronco Prime’s Incarnon Form “Max Charges” showing 40 instead of the intended 20.
  • It was always 20 in mission, this was just a description error in the Arsenal stats!
• Fixed the Evolution IV description of the Prisma Skana’s Incarnon Genesis stating 30% Status Chance increase instead of the intended 20%.
  • It was always 20% in mission, this was just a description error in the Arsenal stats!
• Fixed the resource requirements to install Incarnon Geneses at Cavalero only showing the exact amount required instead of including the total amount owned.

THE DUVIRI PARADOX QUEST CHANGES AND FIXES The Duviri Paradox Quest has been adjusted to address some of the most common player feedback points and improve the overall Quest flow based off our own findings from said feedback:

• Reduced the individual stages of each Spiral from 6 to 3 objectives.
• Shuffled the objectives in the Spiral stages to help with overall quest flow. The Quest stages are now as follows:
  • ANGER
    • Defeat the Dax
    • Open Chest and defeat its Guardian
    • Undercroft Exterminate
  • JOY
    • Conquer the Maze
    • Purge the darkened areas of Liminus
    • Undercroft Survival
  • ENVY
    • Reconnect the Power Lines
    • Defeat the high ground Dax
    • Undercroft Defense
• Reduced the amount of repeated actions needed to complete the Drifter Combat tutorial.

General Quest Changes: 

• Updated the SFX of the first dialogue line during The Covetous Courtier stage of The Duviri Paradox Quest.
• Small animation polish for the opening cutscene of The Duviri Paradox Quest.

Quest Fixes:

• Fixed Shawzin and Maw Feeding locations being highlighted despite being unavailable during the Quest.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when parrying the Dax Gladius during the Drifter Combat tutorial (Defeat the Dax).
• Fixed the Drifter not removing their hood when sitting down for a meal of protein cubes during the Zariman section of the Quest.
  • And here we thought the Drifter had basic table manners…
• Fixed rare issue where players would be unable to progress past the first stage in The Duviri Paradox Quest if they did not pick up the Sirocco before heading towards the bridge.
  • This was causing the Kaithe not to spawn to traverse the bridge to continue onto the next stages. 
• Fixed a rogue Guiding Hand wisp and objective marker appearing in the sky in The Duviri Paradox Quest after the bridge crumbles in the first stage.
• Fixed the last enemy killed in the “Prove your command of Warframe Abilities” stage of The Duviri Paradox Quest vanishing immediately on death.
• Fixed choosing “Stay” after completing The Duviri Paradox Quest causing all of the Warframe offerings in Teshin’s Cave to appear as Excalibur. Also fixes being unable to select a Warframe at all.
• Fixed being unable to swap weapons in The Duviri Paradox Quest after exiting an Undercroft stage.
• Fixed getting flung forward after dismounting Kaithe when approaching Bombastine in the first stage of the Duviri Paradox Quest.
  • Also fixed Kaithe ending up underground afterwards.
• Fixed enemy spawns being too low to complete the Undercroft Exterminate mission during the “The Prince of Fire” stage in The Duviri Paradox Quest.
• Fixed the Undercroft Survival mission objective UI lingering on the screen after failing it in The Duviri Paradox Quest.
• Fixed the wrong controller button callout for how to dodge in The Duviri Paradox Quest.

OVERGUARD ON WARFRAME ABILITIES

Overguard as a Warframe defense mechanism was introduced in Drifter Intrinsics and Decrees with The Duviri Paradox update - it grants additional Health protection and provides Knockdown Immunity while active. Overguard has virtually the same function (Health buffs and immunities*) as the listed abilities and Augment Mods, so in an effort to expose the mechanic more and establish familiarity with Overguard as a whole (as it also appears on enemies) we have made it the visual indicator for them.

• Rhino’s Iron Skin 
• Atlas’ Rumbled Augment Mod 
• Frost’s Icy Avalanche Augment Mod 

*The base defensive properties of these abilities and Augment Mods have not changed!  This change also has the added benefit of allowing “On Damaged” Mods and Arcanes to apply to all of the above! Prior to this change, the aforementioned abilities would make the player "invulnerable" until the added survivability was depleted. Now, Mods and Arcanes like Adaptation and Arcane Avenger can now be triggered when damage is taken to Overguard, because it is treated similarly to Health and Shields. The HUD Overguard element has also had slight upgrades for the purposes of registering for these abilities and Augment Mods: *GIF above shows Iron Skin cast. AUTO INSTALL OVERHAUL We’ve made a number of changes to how the Auto Install function works when Modding Warframes and weapons! Don’t expect this button to replace the need for careful Modding in high level content, but it should result in more consistently useful builds offering positive stats, especially for newer players. Part of this process includes the following changes:

• Overhauled which stats are prioritized on which weapon types.
  • Mods with universal benefits (like increased damage and multishot) are equipped first, while attempting to equip mods that benefit the weapon type (like critical and status increases) if the base stats are high enough.
• Made Auto Install consider equipping unveiled Riven Mods depending on their stats.
• Made Warframe Aura selection use its own prioritization system when choosing what to install.

Other Auto Install Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Auto Install tried to equip veiled Riven mods if there was space.
• Fixed Auto Install prioritizing “conditional” mods that only triggered under special circumstances.

NEW UPSCALING VIDEO OPTIONS (EXPERIMENTAL) We have added three new experimental Upscaling video options to improve performance and visual quality by rendering the game at lower resolutions and using a more advanced upscaler. The benefits: This option allows for better performance with a minimal impact on visual quality while the Enhanced Graphics engine is enabled. It is most beneficial for anyone who is playing games at 1080p and above resolutions (e.g.1440p or 4K). Lower spec PCs can still benefit but it is at its best with resolutions 1080p and above. How to Enable:  You can find these options under the Video tab in your settings. Method: Controls what upscaling method is used to upscale the rendered image to the display resolution. The available methods currently are FSR2.2 and DLSS (NVIDIA-only if supported).

• NVIDIA RTX Minimum Driver Version Requirement: 512.15  

Quality: Controls resolution of scene rendering for the upscaling processing. Sharpening: Controls how much sharpening is applied as part of the upscaling process. Enabling and picking an upscaling quality level will fix the internal rendering resolution to a smaller size. This is then later upscaled using a temporal algorithm, meaning it's using information from previous frames, just like with temporal anti-aliasing. While very similar to Dynamic Resolution, Upscaling settings render at a fixed resolution and do not dynamically adjust based on performance. For that reason, when Upscaling is enabled, Dynamic Resolution will be automatically disabled. We welcome any and all feedback on these new experimental options! We are especially interested in the visual quality of the game while it is enabled (e.g. any noticeable “smearing” while playing and other weird visual issues). We are also interested in knowing if the settings are clear in communicating what they do. DIRECTX 12 PSO CACHING ENABLED BY DEFAULT (EXPERIMENTAL)  As part of our ongoing work to improve the performance of Warframe while using DirectX 12, you can now find a new setting in the Launcher which we’ve turned on by default: Enabling "Shader Cache" should improve the performance of the game if you are using the DirectX 12 renderer. By storing shaders that have been prepared by the game for future use, loading times and micro-stuttering behaviors seen during gameplay should be reduced, especially on older CPUs.

• Applies to both the "Classic" and "Enhanced" mode in DX12. DX11 is not affected.
• There is a small increase to the amount of storage space used by the game.

This feature is new and experimental, so let us know if you see anything very strange happen to the game's visuals with "Shader Cache" enabled. Or just let us know if the performance of the game is noticeably better!

Optimizations:

• Improved DirectX 11’s frame-rate when using the Optimized Flip-Model and reduced input latency.
• “Optimized Flip-Model” is now enabled by default.
  • This option was initially introduced as “experimental” (this label has been removed) and has been working well since its been added. It improves DirectX 11 performance for Borderless and Windowed display modes but requires Windows 10. 
• Made systemic micro-optimizations to DirectX 12 performance.
• Optimized code related to DirectX 11.
• Made a micro optimization related to DirectX 12 rendering.
• Optimized code related to DirectX 12.
• Fixed a couple rare crashes related to DirectX 12.
• Made systemic micro-optimizations when using DirectX 12 on integrated graphics processors.
• Made systemic micro-optimizations to memory usage.
• Made micro-optimizations to rendering for all platforms.
• Fixes towards frame pacing issues that could occur after resizing the game’s window while using DirectX 11 and the “Optimized Flip-Model”.
• Optimized base game code.
• Optimized code related to textures.
• Optimized code related to graphics systems.
• Made systemic micro-optimizations to FX code.
• Made systemic micro-optimizations to code related to rendering.
• Made some micro-optimizations to animation memory.
• Optimized animation code.
• Optimized Umbra during cutscenes in The Sacrifice Quest.
• Made a micro-optimization when loading into large levels that have foliage in them.
• Made micro-optimizations to the game on start-up.
• Optimized the VFX on the following weapons by reducing the particle count on the projectiles when using significant multishot.
  • Paracyst
  • Cernos Prime
  • Drakgoon
  • Kuva Bramma
  • Kuva Chakkurr
  • Mutalist Cernos
  • Miter
  • Nagantaka Prime
• Optimized the water droplets in Teshin’s Cave.
• Fixed significant performance issues when attempting to collect ammo while having a Companion Specter and a regular Warframe Specter active at the same time.

Additions: 

• Starting today with the release of Kullervo in this Update, each new Warframe we release from this point on will increase the number of purchasable loadout slots by 1.
  • With Kullervo, we’ve updated the number from 20 to 21.
• Teshin’s Cave offerings can now be previewed in the Star Chart before entering Duviri with the Rank 4 “Warframe Abundance” Opportunity Drifter Intrinsic unlocked.
  • The display will also show the amount of Forma installed on the active offerings. 

• Added ability to fully customize Drifter controls in the settings. Select the Customize Key Bindings option under the Keyboard/Mouse section.and navigate over to the Drifter tab.
• Added a “Complete” icon to the mini and detailed maps in Duviri after completing main and side objectives.
• Added “The Steel Path” option to the Simulacrum enemy settings. When enabled, enemies will have an additional +250% Health, Armor, and Shields.

  • To address players getting “stuck” watching the reward flourish for a long time if they had unlocked a bunch of tiers. 
• Hovering the reticle over the Drifter Melee weapons in Teshin’s Cave will now trigger a pop-up that provides its description.
  • To help inform players before they commit to purchasing it.
• Added stat buffs from Helminth Invigorations and Archon Shards to the “Configure” screen in Teshin’s Cave.
• Added location details to resource descriptions to help players find them.
• Added talking animations to Acrithis’ transmissions.
• Added VFX after successfully herding Tamms.
• Added cowering animations to another Duviri resident that was missing them - Orowyrms must be feared!
• Added clouds and a bright blue sky to the Conclave room in all Relays.

Changes: 

• Changed the requirements to expose Arcane Slots on Primary and Secondary weapons: Owning a Primary/Secondary Arcane Adapter OR having access to The Steel Path will grant access to the slot.
  • Prior to this change, unlocking the Steel Path was the only way to expose the Arcane Adapter slot on Primaries and Secondaries. Seeing as Arcanes and Arcane Adapters are available to obtain from Acrithis’ Wares, we changed the conditions so players who purchase an Arcane Adapter from Acrithis will have access to the Arcane slot immediately. 
• Made several readability improvements to the Hidden Chest objective in Duviri:
  • Updated the objective and context action’s text to give it a unique flavor when encountered as a side objective.
  • Hidden Chests that are part of a main Spiral stage are now called “Hidden Royal Chests” and have a unique Glyph to make them easier to identify from side objective chests.
  • Fixed Hidden Chests sometimes missing or not updating their “locked” appearance after being unlocked.
• Updated the look of the Void Mirror side objective in the Duviri Landscape. Now players can identify this objective via the Mirror frame that spawns, and inspect it to start.
• Dax Eximus and Heavy units can now be Mercy killed in the Undercroft!
• Dax enemies can now be affected by multiple stacks of Status Effects!
• Dax Gladius can now be knocked out of their blocking stance a little quicker now!
  • They were previously immune from being knocked out for 3 seconds at the start of blocking. That has been reduced by half!
• The confirm button to Refine a Void Relic is now defaulted to update immediately to Radiant without having to select it from the rank grid.
• Made the following changes to the Shawzin controller bindings:
  • The top face button can now be used to bind “SONGS” and select the difficulty in Duviri.
    • This fixes being unable to play certain chords since “SONGS” was changed to the right trigger in The Duviri Paradox update. 
  • Added new “Alt” Sky, Earth, and Water Fret bindings and made them defaults for the left/right bumpers and right trigger.
    • This fixes being unable to hit notes that require multiple Fret inputs due to them all being assigned to the D-Pad in The Duviri Paradox update. 
    • These “Alt” bindings will only appear in the Shawzin UI if you attempt to use them, the default Fret bindings will take priority otherwise. 
  • Added new “Chord” binding and made it the default for the top D-Pad button.
    • This allows you to be able to play chords that require both the Sky and Water Frets. 
• Thrax enemies now fill Last Gasp’s meter at the same rate as Eximus Units.
• Items that are sold for premium currency in the in-game Market will now display the item or pack details in-game before exiting to the respective store page for purchase.
  • This is part of our on-going changes to unify all platforms in light of Cross Platform Play. 
• Updated all of the Drifter Melee weapons to better explain their functions (bold indicates edits):
  • Azothane: "Azothane calls the visionary warrior to turn the tides of battle. Power Strike plunges Azothane into the ground to send forth five celestial blades that apply Cold Status and then explode.”
  • Sampotes: “A warrior who prefers brute force will make the most of Sampotes. Power Strike slams Sampotes into the ground to damage enemies with a shockwave that inflicts Heat Status.”
  • Syam: “Syam is at home in the hands of a focused warrior. Power Strike lifts enemies into the air and unleashes a flurry of deadly slashes.”
  • Edun: "Edun befits dexterous warriors. Power Strike knocks down and blinds enemies by surrounding them with a cloud of dust."
  • Sun & Moon: “Teshin’s twin blades. Power Strike sends forth two arcs of energy that inflict Electricity Status."
• The Drifter’s Guiding Hand ability will now track Shrine Pieces in the “Assemble the Shrine” objective in Duviri to make them easier to find.
• You can now move your Kaithe in the Duviri loading screen.
• Made the following changes to Teshin’s Cave weapon randomization logic:
  • Decreased the chances of an owned and Mastered weapon appearing in Teshin’s Cave back to back if you own less than 10 weapons in that category (Primary, Secondary, and Melee).
    • For example, if you own less than 10 Primaries total, the odds of the same owned and Mastered Primary weapon appearing in the Cave has been decreased. Teshin’s Cave offers the opportunity to experiment with your Arsenal, this change maintains that goal and prioritizes variety. 
  • Lowered the odds of weapons that you’ve already Mastered and sold appearing in the Cave.
    • If a player has Mastered a weapon and sold it, it is likely they are less eager for it to appear in Teshin's Cave. So the odds of those weapons appearing has been decreased to increase the player's access to unowned and unmastered weapons.
  • If you own multiples of a Warframe or Weapon (e.g. two Khoras), the one with the most Forma installed will appear in Teshin’s Cave.
  • Weapons with numerous variants will now properly cycle through those options.
    • Prior to this change, only one variant would ever appear in Teshin’s Cave even if you owned others. For example, if you had both the Prisma Machete and the Machete Wraith, it would only ever choose the Prisma Machete. Now, it will properly cycle through the variant options. 
  • Variants of owned weapons with Incarnon Geneses installed now take priority over all other variants.
    • For example, an MK-1 Braton with an Incarnon Genesis install will take priority over a base Braton Prime. If the Braton Prime does in fact have an Incarnon Genesis installed, it would then take priority. 
• Increased the amount of Credits awarded from the later stages (11+) of the Steel Path Circuit from 1,500 to 50,000.
• The HUD “arrows” used to indicate enemy direction while fighting as Drifter in Duviri are now hidden when in a downed state.
• Added new VFX to inform when a Somachord Tone, Frame Fighter Fragment, or Codex Fragment has already been scanned.
• Made the following changes to the Paragrimm Enigma located on the Archarbor Island in Duviri:
  • Added a visual indicator to when a glyph is correct on the wall (as long as it is not covered).
  • Removed one of the discs to allow the memory device to play an integral part in the Enigma’s completion.
• Reduced Maw Feeding difficulty by increasing the time allotted to hunt.
• Improved the detection logic of enemy Security Cameras and its VFX to properly communicate its vertical FOV.
  • Their vertical FOV has been greatly reduced and the view angle has been tilted downwards slightly to help alleviate the issue of detecting far beyond what their visible range would indicate. 
• Made slight changes to Caliban’s default colors - you shouldn’t see much of a change but you may want to revisit your current Caliban fashion to set it to your liking!
• Updated the pop-up message for The New War Quest requirements to “You Must obtain an Operator Amp to begin this Quest”.
• Updated the Duviri Conservation sounds:
  • Increased the volume of the Kubrie steps.
  • Kubrie howls now better match the animation.
  • Added SFX when destroying the orbs.
  • Added more petting sounds!
• Changed the descriptions for all of Acrithis’ Decoration offerings to match the normal naming conventions for Decorations instead of Dojo.

The Seven Crimes of Kullervo: Hotfix 33.5.2

Kullervo Fight Changes:  The difficulty of the Kullervo fight has been adjusted to be more manageable for the Drifter Melee combatants. This was done in two ways: by adjusting some of his mechanics, and tweaking the amount of damage he receives from certain sources. Changes to Kullervo’s mechanics:

• Decreased the frequency of ability casts and increased telegraph times slightly for several abilities so that they are easier to avoid.
• Increased the duration of the window of opportunity after ability casts in Phase 3.
• Reduced the frequency of unparryable heavy attacks.
• Increased the usage of melee attacks, but reduced the attack speed slightly to encourage more melee engagement.
• Decreased melee attack damage slightly, and normalized some melee attack damage values.
• Slightly decreased Kullervo's health.

Changes to Kullervo’s damage receival:  In changing his mechanics, we have also made these alterations to how he receives damage, to encourage player melee engagement overall.

• Significantly increased damage taken from parry finishers.
• Reduced the damage taken from Rifles and Shotguns (Transference Surge).

Changes:

• Updated the time-limited Kullervo’s Hold on-hover description to clarify that the fight is also accessible in The Lone Story and The Duviri Experience.
  • “Complete a Lone Story with an opportunity to confront Kullervo. Kullervo can also appear during The Duviri Experience and The Lone Story any time Duviri is in a Fear, Anger, or Sorrow Spiral.”
• Added timer before teleporting far away players to Kullervo’s Hold for the fight.
• Side objective Undercroft Portals are now deactivated while the Kullervo fight is active.
  • This is to prevent potential issues from occurring. 
• Increased the speed of cursor movement in the Recover the Paragrimm side objective while using a controller.

Fixes: 

• Fixed the incorrect range of Kullervo’s Bane being rewarded for completing The Steel Path Kullervo’s Hold fight.
  • Prior to this fix, it was possible to receive 4 or 5 Kullervo’s Bane on The Steel Path, which is under the intended range of 6 to 8. This has now been restored! 
• Fixed being unable to matchmake for Kullervo’s Hold time-limited node if players in the squad had already loaded into Teshin’s Cave.

  • Also fixed players getting charged 5 Pathos Clamps for attempting to remove the Incarnon Genesis, even with the error pop-up. We will be running a script shortly to refund Pathos Clamps to affected players.   Script has completed! 
• Fixed Latron’s Incarnon Evolution II “ Swift Punishment” perk not granting its damage buff as intended with Sprint Speed 1.2 or higher.
• Fixed the Strun and Ferlarx Incarnons (base and variants) not refilling their magazine when transforming from their Incarnon Form to base.

• Also fixed the Operator copying the animations of the wrong player.
• Fixed several hitching issues caused by configuring a Warframe in Teshin’s Cave that has several customizations equipped.

The Seven Crimes of Kullervo: Hotfix 33.5.3

Launcher Fixes: Yesterday’s hotfix reverted updates to the Launcher that were released with The Seven Crimes of Kullervo as they were causing several issues - we have more follow-up fixes to further address those related issues:

• Fixes towards crash on game startup with the new Upscaling options enabled.
• Fixes towards Steam Deck crashing on startup and after changing display settings.

If you are still experiencing issues where the Launcher refuses to start, regrettably some manual action may be required. If you are not confident with your ability to work with files on your computer, the safest route is to simply reinstall Warframe. If you are willing to be a little more technical, follow these steps:

• Find the Warframe Launcher’s files (these are examples, your specific location may be different depending where you choose to install the game)
  • Windows Standalone clients:  %localappdata%\Warframe\Downloaded\Public\Tools\CEF3_1\V5\
  • Steam clients: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Warframe\Tools\CEF3_1\V5\
  • Epic clients: C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Warframe\Downloaded\Public\Tools\CEF3_1\V5\
• Unzip icudtl.zip and put icudtl.dat into the  “V5” folder that you found in step 1  (icudtl.dat, 10424816 bytes, CRC 1E8E24D9)
• Run the Warframe Launcher

Either reinstalling the game or manually delivering the missing resource should allow the Launcher to function normally again and update the game. If you are crashing after clicking the “Play!” button, then, please report your WAR-# from the crash reporter so that we can diagnose further. We will continue to watch for other launcher related issues. Thank you!

Fixed: 

• Fixed moving in slow motion after interacting with ally slowing effects (like Vauban’s Vortex and/or Zephyr’s Tornado) while Overguard is active.
  • This was particularly prevalent with Rhino (Iron Skin), Frost (with the Icy Avalanche Augment Mod), Kullervo (Recompense), and Atlas (Rumbled Augment Mod) as their abilities grant Overguard.
• Fixed several issues with Warframe Overguard reducing the effectiveness of the following supportive abilities/effects:
  • Fixed Gara’s Splinter Storm damage reduction being capped at 50% instead of the intended 90%.
  • Fixed Trinity’s Blessing healing over time for a fixed amount instead of restoring the full intended amount on cast.
  • Fixed Garuda’s Blood Altar not healing.
  • Fixed Mirage’s Eclipse damage reduction being capped at 50% instead of the intended 95%.
  • Fixed Hydroid’s Curative Undertow Augment Mod being capped at 100 Health.
  • Fixed Nezha’s Warding Halo damage reduction being capped at 50% instead of the intended 90%.
  • Fixed Volt’s Capacitance Augment Mod (Discharge) being capped at 250 Shields and not granting Overshields.
  • Fixed Baruuk’s Desolate Hands damage reduction being capped at 50% instead of the intended 90%.
  • Fixed Harrow’s Penance heal being capped at 50 health/s.
  • Fixed Equinox’ Mend & Maim heal being capped at 500 Health over 5 seconds.
  • Fixed Sancti Magistar’s heal being capped at 500 Health over 5 seconds.
  • Fixed Vazarin’s Protective Sling capping at 500 Health over 5 seconds and not providing damage immunity.
• More fixes towards the Strun Prime Incarnon not refilling its magazine when transforming from their Incarnon Form to base.
• Fixed FOV randomly resetting after certain Duviri objectives.
• Fixed challenge descriptions appearing as a file path for the following Incarnon Geneses weapons:
  • Braton (all variants) Evolution IV
  • Furax’s (all variants) Evolution IV
  • Ceramic Dagger’s Evolution IV
  • Dual Ichor’s Evolution IV
  • Sibear’s Evolution IV
  • Miter’s Evolution IV
  • Known (fix to come): Felarx’ Evolution V
• Fixed the “Kill X enemies with this weapon’s Incarnon Form” Incarnon challenge description specifying “Eximus enemies” instead of just “enemies”.
• Fixed issues with Recover the Paragrimm’s Tomes objective not clearing once completed.
• Fixed the chest VFX staying in its “locked” state (red VFX instead of blue) after defeating Limunus in Duviri cave objectives.
• Fixed the pause menu UI disappearing when transitioning from the Undercroft to the Duviri Landscape.
  • Also fixed a related issue on Host migration where players would get stuck with a black screen if the pause menu was open upon transitioning.

• More fixes towards offset issues with the Drifter Saita Prime Suit.

The Seven Crimes of Kullervo: Hotfix 33.5.4

Changes:

• Added caches to the Enigma room at Kullervo’s Hold after successfully completing it.

• Resources collected from SPROUT in Teshin’s Cave are now affected by Resource Boosters.

• Updated the objective text for Hidden Chests located inside caves to indicate such.

Optimizations:

• Optimized memory used by DirectX 12 for multi-threaded rendering, particularly for PCs with many cores.

  • Also fixed potential performance issues with playing on DirectX 12 with PCs not using a 8-core/16-thread processor. 

• Made systemic micro-optimizations to rendering performance.

• Made general systemic micro-optimizations.

• Made micro-optimizations to engine startup and level loading.

• Made systemic micro-optimizations to level loading.

• Made optimizations to sound pathing.

Fixes:

• Fixed Defense waves resetting after Host migration in the Undercroft.

• Fixed Kullervo’s Recompense being able to put him in bleed-out if Ability Strength is high.

  • Other Warframes with a Health cost mechanic, such as Garuda and Inaros, prevent their self-damage from going beyond 2 Health. Kullervo’s Recompense now also has this preventative measure. 

• Fixed extremely high damage numbers caused by the Fortifying Will Decree interacting with Armor buffing abilities (e.g. Rhino’s Iron Skin and Chroma’s Elemental Ward/Vex Armor).

  • Fortifying Will grants 15% (at max) Ability Strength for every 50 Armor, which was creating an endless feedback loop with Armor buffing abilities and causing extreme numbers to be reached (at times reaching the billions). In order to fix the above and prevent any further issues, Fortifying Will now has a 500% Ability Strength cap. We want players to continue to enjoy the power that Decrees grant without exceeding levels that are game breaking. With the change above, we have also fixed the following issues:

    • Fixed the aforementioned abilities not working at all after several casts. 

    • Fixed infinite and permanent armor stacking gained from casting Rhino’s Charge back to back with the Ironclad Charge Augment Mod equipped.

• Fixed always getting the same Arcane (and possibly the same resource) from all available side objective Undercroft Portals in The Duviri Experience.

  • Also fixed instant death upon using Transference Surge once returned to the Duviri Landscape. 

• Fixed being stuck as Warframe in Duviri if teleported from the Undercroft lobby to the Kullervo fight in The Duviri Experience.

  • To address the above and prevent any further issues, the Kullervo fight cannot be started until after all players have returned from the Undercroft. A warning message will appear to inform players if that is the case. 

• Fixed unranked Arcane Power Ramp giving 100x more Ability Strength than was intended (+2%, stacking up to 4x).

• Fixed Dragon Keys not unequipping from loadout and affecting gameplay in The New War Quest.

• More fixes towards FOV randomly resetting after certain Duviri objectives.

• Fixed Clients losing Sirocco after returning to the Duviri Landscape after defeating the Orowyrm.

• Fixed mirrored Operator in Ghost Mirror side objectives spawning in unreachable places if the encounter began while flying above it.

• More fixes towards launcher-related issues:

  • Fixes towards the launcher crashing upon hitting  “Play.” 

  • Fixes towards crashing on launcher startup. 

  • Fixes towards the launcher going all black. 

• More fixes towards a crash that could occur after changing some Upscaling settings and starting the game with DirectX 12.

• More fixes towards rare crashes that would occur on laptops with both an Nvidia RTX GPU and an Intel IGP.

• Fixed the Config screen in Teshin’s Cave only showing the weapon/Warframe’s base stats (not appearing affected by Mods).

• Fixed installing Forma reverting previously modified Configs. For example: Changes to Config A would revert after adjusting Config B and then installing a Forma.

• Fixed the Bo, Strun, and Vasto (base and variants) Incarnon’s Evolution IV challenge description not stating that it requires “slide attacks” to complete.

  • Was: Kill X enemies with this weapon.

  • Now: Kill X enemies with slide attacks. 

• Fixed several elements of the Enigma at Kullervo’s Hold not functioning (i.e. Glyphs missing from totem), making it impossible to complete.

• Fixed the Felarx Incarnon’s Evolution V challenge description appearing as a file path.

• Fixes towards Drifter’s Guiding Hand ability not guiding anywhere if cast while airborne.

• Fixed loss of function from changing tabs in the Crew Contracts screen of the Configure Railjack console.

• Fixed certain elements of the Enigma located in Kullervo’s Hold not working.

• Fixed permanent black screen caused by spawning Kaithe immediately after interacting with the Find the Paragrimm’s Tomes side objective in Duviri.

• Fixed Undercroft Portal VFX causing them to appear active during the Orowyrm fight when they were indeed not.

• Fixed the context action to interact with Kullervo’s bulletins appearing while riding Kaithe.

  • Since it cannot be interacted with from Kaithe, it won’t appear until after you dismount. 

• Fixed a brief flash of brightness in the end of the mission screen.

• Fixed Corpus Coildrives in the Orb Vallis not moving until players get close.

• Fixed the Nikana Krtrima Skin's tooltip in the in-game Market's Featured tab stating that you do not own Nikanas even when you do.

• More fixes towards offset issues with the Drifter Saita Prime Suit.
