Warframe's Deimos: Arcana update comes to PC this week

Digital Extremes is releasing the follow-up update to Warframe's gooey, grotesque summer expansion Heart of Deimos this week on PC. This one is called Deimos: Arcana, and it'll give you the chance to return to Cambion Drift and strike back against the Infested.


There's plenty to do as you can take on new Isolation Vault bounties while exploring uncharted caverns deep within the Infested Moon. There's also a new slate of infested weapons and a new sword-wielding Necramech called the Bonewidow, so you'll have plenty of firepower to call upon. If you fancy getting creative with your builds, you can call upon a heap of new Augment Mods for Gauss, Garuda, Revenant, and Wisp.


You'll find plenty of familiar foes to test out your new power on, but there are some new ones, too. The Mitosid, which was previously known as the Splitter, uses vibrations to feel out its environment and will split itself in two if you let it. So, eh, do be careful. If you're more of the peaceful sort, though, there's more fishing and conservation work to be done. There are two new species of fish - the parasitic Flagellocanth and three-tailed Lobotriscid - for you to reel in, and two new Infested beasts for you to capture and protect.

Deimos: Arcana - Available Now



The Infested aren’t done with you yet, Tenno. Return to the grotesquely beautiful Cambion Drift and dominate the landscape in a whole new way with Bonewidow, the sword-wielding Necramech. Take on new Isolation Vault Bounties and Conservation efforts, explore uncharted caverns deep within the Infested Moon, and fight fire with fire using all-new Infested Weapons.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h3]New Necramech: Bonewidow[/h3]

Introducing Bonewidow, a robust front-line Necramech that favors armor and health over shield strength. Impale and hurl enemies from the battlefield, or fight them up-close with an exalted warblade and heavy shield.

MORGHA ROCKET LAUNCHER

An ancient Entrati weapon that blasts through enemies with a double-barreled shot of energized slugs.



[h3]New Isolation Vault Bounties and Underground Levels[/h3]

Delve deep into unexplored Entrati Vault ruins as you take on three new Bounties! Complete the initial Isolation Vault tier to unlock a new offer from Mother.



New Enemy: the Mitosid

The legs are coming, Tenno! Previously known as the “Splitter”, the unpredictable Mitosid hunts its prey using vibrations from the surrounding environment. Surgical precision is recommended with this enemy, as the Mitosid has evolved to physically rip itself in half to survive.

New Fishing and Conservation

The wilderness on Deimos is teeming with fauna and Arcana introduces two new Infested beasts to be trapped, captured and protected: the amphibiously freakish Undazoa, and thwomp-like Nexifera. Those looking to relax near the exocrine will also be happy to know that two new species of fish — the parasitic Flagellocanth and three-tailed Lobotriscid — will now be available to catch. Good fortunes, Tenno!



[h3]Mend the Family[/h3]

Deimos may look dead and decayed, but it’s chock-full of useful Resources. Visit Grandmother in the Necralisk to exchange any extra Resources you might have for Entrati Family Tokens. The kind of Token available for trade randomizes every few hours, so visit regularly to obtain extra Tokens of your choice!

[h3]Gara Kaleida Collection[/h3]

Dazzle with this scintillating collection of deluxe Gara items. Features the Gara Kaleida Skin, Starglaze Shards, Glistor Syandana and Rephrax Longsword Skin.



New Augment Mods

Harness your Warframe’s full potential with these new Augment Mods for Gauss, Garuda, Revenant and Wisp.



Infested Kitguns
Unsightly Infested components can now be acquired from Father and incorporated into your Kitgun!

[h3]Tenno Reinforcements[/h3]

As the Infestation grows in strength, so must your firepower.

Cambion Armaments Collection
New weapons have emerged from the seething horror of the Infestation, each bringing a fresh, living aspect to their power. Featuring the bile-loaded Catabolyst Pistol, Proboscis Cernos Bow, Pulmonars Nunchaku, and the devastating Bubonico Arm Cannon.



Catabolyst
Splatter enemies with a short-range stream of corrosive bile and then toss the ammo bladder as a grenade when reloading. The emptier the pistol’s ammo bladder, the more potent its damage. A fully empty bladder packs the biggest punch.

Proboscis Cernos
Each arrow spawns a swarm of sticky appendages on impact. These tongue-like probes latch onto nearby unfortunates and drag them close before bursting into a mess of diseased goo.



Pulmonars
Pummel and infect with these two pulsating hunks of flesh connected by a ligament. Take-hold of the malignant evolution of an ancient martial weapon.



Bubonico
Rain down a triple volley of explosive disease bladders from a distance, then move in for the kill by unloading a multi-shot barrage of toxic barbs with primary fire.



Arum Spinosa
Slash through enemies with two leaves of the exceedingly rare Arum Spinosa plant. Heavy Attack to whip a flurry of toxic spines at ranged attackers.



Sporothrix
This long-distance rifle fires a razor-sharp, virus-soaked barb that continues to attack its host before violently erupting in a spore-laden mist. Scoped headshots increase lethality.

Infested Kitguns
Acquire unsightly Infested components from Father and incorporate into your Kitgun!

Infested K-Drive
Grandmother has gotten her hands on a new Infested K-Drive and it can be yours by completing each of her Races in the Cambion Drift! Once you’ve acquired the Ferverspine, Gristlebuck, Nodulite and Steeba parts, visit your friend Roky in Fortuna to build the Infested K-Drive!

New Necraloid Syndicate Offerings
Heart of Deimos introduced you to the Entrati family’s loyal servants, now Deimos: Arcana lets you stamp their distinguished look on your Sentinel with the new Loid Sentinel Skin! Available as a Necraloid Syndicate Offering, along with the soothingly elegant Entrati Ayatan Sculpture.

Plus, bring Deimos to your Dojo with the Entrati Dojo Decoration Set, gnarly Infested Decorations and a breathing, pulsing Infested Chamber!

[h3]Additional Changes:[/h3]

- Necramechs (Bonewidow and Voidrig) now have a built-in vacuum!
- Earn up to 3x more Deimos Conservation tags depending on the quality of your Capture. Test your skills and get a perfect capture!
- Glaive Rework: More consistent Heavy Attack damage, Glaive throws while sliding, and multiple throws in a single jump make Glaives more maneuverable and versatile than ever!
- Vome and Fass time indicators now appear when viewing the map inside the Necralisk hub!
- Added a “Requirements Met” category to the Necralisk vendors. Selecting this category will sort wares based on whether you have the necessities to purchase them.
- Reduced the self-stagger range of the Shraksun Scaffold, Granmu Prism, Exard Scaffold, Dissic Scaffold and Propa Scaffold for Operator Amps.

For full notes on Deimos Arcana, head on over to the official Warframe Forums!

Strike back against the Infested and show the Grey Strain that the fight for the Infested Moon is far from over. With tenacious new firepower and gear, the future of Deimos is in your hands.

What does Warframe's next-gen cross-save and crossplay mean for PC? (Nothing, apparently)

Warframe is coming to next-gen consoles - which, as a reminder, will be current-gen consoles within a week - and developer Digital Extremes has confirmed that cross-save and crossplay are coming. But those features have only been announced between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The devs say they'll have more to share on other platforms soon, but it's not looking likely that this will mean much for PC players.


In an FAQ about the next-gen PS5 upgrades, Digital Extremes says "there will be cross-save only between PS4 and PS5", and that "at this time, we are not allowing account migration from PC to PS5". Crossplay is also only mentioned between PS4 and PS5 players. All those features could, eventually, come to all platforms - but it sounds like you shouldn't expect them soon.


This comes alongside a big write-up on Warframe for the PlayStation Blog, so it's no surprise the early details are focused primarily on Sony platforms. Details about Warframe on Xbox Series X are coming "very soon", but don't get your hopes up that this will be where all the platforms join a big happy party together.
