Resident Evil Village Will Have More Weapons Than RE7 According to Capcom

Expect a bigger selection of good things to be on sale when the newest Resident Evil game hits stranger, as Capcom states that the Resident Evil Village will have more weapons than Resident Evil  7 — adding to the anticipation and hype that the sequel will be much larger in content compared its predecessor.

According to tweets posted by DuskGolem, RE Village will contain more weapons for returning protagonists Ethan Winters to use. As the developers of the game note that it’s the first time that the same main character returns for two consecutive games.

As the report states, players will have more free reign on how to play and control Ethan — including the choices of weapons and the loadout they want to have at their disposal when approaching a certain situation. With the presence of The Duke and acting as a seller of goods much like RE4’s The Merchant, players can expect plenty of firepower and tools that will help them in their latest journey into the world of Survival Horror. In many ways, RE Village is a combination of all genres — sticking to the Survival Horror formula of suspense and danger at every turn while also giving players the range and variety that RE4, 5, and 6 had with weapons and equipment purchases.

In related Resident Evil news, the Resident Evil movie reboot just revealed its official title — and it’s called Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.

Apex Legends Update 1.62 March 22 Flies Out, Causes Issues (Update)

While Respawn Entertainment has released a patch for Apex Legends last week for various fixes, the studio has released the Apex Legends update 1.62 March 22 patch today. This is also for fixes, so don’t expect any new content.

Apex Legends Update 1.62 March 22 Patch Notes:

Update: Respawn has released the official patch notes:

Heads up, legends!

Respawn have pushed a client patch for Apex Legends today.


Patch Notes

Improvements

  • Console players can now toggle the survival slot off. If turned off, survival items will only be accessible through the inventory screen and the button will trigger the weapon inspect feature by default. (Source)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed Electric Blue Wattson skin (Source)

The studio has not relayed any gameplay-related changes, but here’s what Respawn has shared:

During our most recent @playapex collection event there was a bug with Wattson’s Electric Blue skin that caused her textures to go missing.

We’ve since shipped the fix and fully refunded anyone who bought the skin before the fix went live. Refunded players keep the fixed skin.

Unfortunately, it seems this issue has caused some issues amongst players too. Here are some from the community:

NO ACCESS TO ALC SETTINGS PS4 patch 3/22/2021
byu/skylexEU inapexlegends

Server issues after update?
byu/GreatAtLosing inapexlegends

Since the latest patch from today 3/22/2021, it‘s not possible to access ALC settings on PS4. On top of that all my settings got set back to default so now I can‘t play. Please let the developers see this. Much love and stay safe

Myself and several others have been experiencing high latency/rubber banding after the update, and this is very abnornal- especially for me, with a decent wired connection. This is on PS4, is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks!

There also seems to be gameplay-related changes as well”

I’m salty about this update.
byu/MonochromeCyanide inapexlegends

They patched the heat shield badge down to 1000 damage after I spent hours grinding it out and finally got the badge.

I get that it was incredibly hard to do without gridning and I’m glad that other people can get the badge but I wish that people who got the 5000 heat shield damage would get something cool added to the badge instead of their hard work being for nothing.

Once Respawn releases the full patch notes, we’ll update the post.

Update: The full patch notes has been released and we’ve updated the post.

SideTrak Solo Freestanding Portable Monitor Review – On-the-Go Gaming Solution

If you’re someone who travels a lot, and also loves taking their gaming devices with them, then chances are you’ve ran into situations where you need a good TV screen. As someone who fits that criteria, I have certainly found myself more times than not having to wrestle with hotel rooms, and their mounted displays with hard-to-reach HDMI ports. It’s not fun, especially for screens flushed against the wall. My solution for the better half of the year was to take my tiny PC monitor with me and use that, but lets face it, no matter how tiny a TV screen or monitor you can get, there will always be the inconvenience of traveling with them, due to the bulkiness and their original intent for stationed viewing.

So to my surprise, there’s actually a line of displays dedicated to removing such annoyances that come with traveling. Meet the SideTrak Portable Monitor, a portable display capable of being powered via USB with connectivity support for consoles along other devices.

What’s in the Box?

Specifications

Refresh Rate: 50/60 Hz Display colors: 262K Colors
Response Time: 30 ms Panel Type: LCD
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Contrast Ratio: 800:1 Brightness: 220 cd/m2
Power Consumption: 8W Panel Surface: Glare (AF)

To start this review off, let’s take a look at the content and set-up of the SideTrak Portable Monitor. First thing first, you have the small, 15.6 inch display that is well protected by the box’s packaging. The material used the houses the display is plastic, with a soft matted feel to it. It might not be the best material in terms of durability, but it’s light enough where it makes carrying easy.

Next we have the connection cables, which are USB-2.0 to USB-C, USB-C to USB-C, and mini-HDMI to full HDMI display cable. The latter two cables are used for powering purposes. Not really a whole lot of components (that’s a good thing,) and the set-up proves to be even less complicated.

Testing this out with a PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, all you need to do is connect the HDMI cable to a system as with one of the two USB connection types. Don’t worry, as the power required to turn the display on is very low, with the USB ports found on any of those devices being just enough. That’s honestly all there is too it, no initial set-up, no driver or software updates, just direct plug-in play and you’re all set!

As Thin as Paper, as Sharp as a Knife

I do a lot of contract work (non-MP1st related) that requires me to travel all over the United States. My Last gig saw me traveling by vehicle from one end of the country to the other in the dead of winter. Not a fun one to say the least, especially knowing that said locations usually didn’t have any major shopping outlets or the most fun-filled activities.

Understandably I’m not in the most feel at home setting, though it does help to take a piece of it when I do go on these trips. With long periods of boredom inevitably to ensue on my downtime, what better to bring than a gaming console. Of course, it’s second nature of my gamer side to do just that, but one big thing I’ve learned in all my travel is that it’s wise to bring a spare TV screen, especially when staying in towns with not so up-to-date hotels.

Undoubtedly, the big issue with bringing a TV or PC monitor on travel is usually their sheer size, and/or bulkiness. There’s always a looming fear that you may accidentally break it just from driving, which is pretty common for people in the moving business. Plus, it’s not exactly the most inconspicuous item to be walking into a hotel lobby with. Thankfully, the SideTrak Portable Monitor fixes that issue, all while offering a gorgeous picture.

With a screen size of just 15.6 inches and a weight of 1.8lb, the SideTrak Portable Monitor feels like a great convenience to have. While I knew how big the screen was before receiving the unit, what I wasn’t expecting to be surprised by is how damn thin it is. To best compare, it’s almost like an iPad or a Window Surface Pro in terms of size and thickness. And much like those devices, the SideTrak is easily storable, with it fitting nicely in say a laptop case or whatever electronic bag you may use. Just be sure you protect the screen for obvious reasons.

As for the picture quality, the SideTrak Portable sports a 1080P resolution with a refresh rate of 60hz. And I know, it’s not the latest in resolution, but given the size of the SideTrak, this resolution fits just right. Image quality comes in superbly sharp and clear all thanks to pixel density, with the 60hz refresh rate running smoothly. There’s a low amount of latency, so playing games at 60fps (or less) is no problem.

More impressive however is how coloring is handled. Pictures all look vibrant, booming with colors, even with the HDR turned-off. Yes, you read that right, the SideTrak Portable has HDR support, which in my opinion is easily a better feature than a resolution bump.

While the display can also be stood up in portrait mode, I did find that this particular model really isn’t a good fit for it. This is mostly due to the location of the display ports being right on it’s side. Meaning if you wanted to stand it up, then you would have cables facing upwards, only to bend down to plug into whatever device. And it can’t be laying on the port side since it wouldn’t be able to stand. That’s not to say that it’s impossible to set it up in portrait format, it’ll just look a bit ugly. It doesn’t help either that the cables supplied are pretty short, so if you did plan on using this at home as an additional desktop monitor, be sure it’s situated on your desk close to where your PC is.

For me I don’t think that was much of a deal breaker since I prefer the landscape view, but if there was one nagging issue then it’s the menu button. While power has it’s own dedicated button, for whatever reason the menu button is tied to the volume scroll. It felt very flimsy and just trying to access the menu to adjust picture color and HDR proved it as at times it was unresponsive and even sticking. I consider the overall build to be exceptional outside of that volume/menu button.

A Worthy Travel Buddy

Outside of the tiny flaws I found, there really isn’t much to hate about this monitor. While, yes it is on the pricier ($269.99) side of things considering the size of TV you can get for it, there really isn’t much of an alternative when it comes to how easy and convenient it is. Just the fact that I can fit this in the same bag as my laptop, and even my console bag makes this well worth the buy. Beautiful design matched by it’s gorgeous image quality, the SideTrak Solo Freestanding Portable Monitor is the perfect companion to have for those lengthy journeys.

Pros:

  • Beautiful coloring and HDR support.
  • Size is perfect to fit with your laptop in an electronic bag.
  • Easy to set-up, USB powering
  • Smooth 60hz with low-latency.
  • General build quality is great.

Cons:

  • Even though it can be stood up for portrait mode, the power/display inputs location aren’t ideal to be in that position.
  • Volume having a push button for the display menu is unresponsive at times, needing multiple pushes. A dedicated button, at least for source would have been better.
  • Price* – A bit on the pricey end so may deter potential buyers away, though we feel what you get is justifiable

Where to buy?

Solo Pro FHD 15.8”


The SideTrak Ultra Thin Portable Monitor is available for purchase at MSRP of $269.99. A unit was provided for review and marketing purposes via Chic Execs. Product tested for PC and consoles uses. You can read MP1st’s review and scoring policy right here.

Rumor: PlayStation Store for PS3, PS Vita, PSP to Close Down Later This Year

Take this news with a grain of salt and as a rumor for now, but there’s a good chance that Sony and PlayStation are ready to move on from the past — As a report states that the PlayStation Store for the PS3, PS Vita, and PSP is going to close down.

According to The Gamer, all services will cease starting this July for those systems. What that essentially means is that all of the digital games you purchased and are part of those legacy libraries are no longer going to be accessible, as the story points out that Sony is going to make the announcement possibly in the next month or so.

PSP’s and PS3’s stores are to be closed on July 2, while the PS Vita store will stay open until August 27. After those dates, you will no longer be able to purchase digital copies of games or DLC for any of the Sony consoles mentioned above.

First introduced during the life cycle of the PS3, the PlayStation Store is your go to digital shop for all things related to PlayStation, its games, and other forms of media. PlayStation’s portable systems in the PSP and its successor the PS Vita would also incorporate the service — and players could not only access and download new games but also digital releases of classic PSOne games. Now that the PS4 and PS5 have become the dominant systems in the market, it looks Sony is ready to close the curtain on those systems. Nothing has been confirmed yet and nobody knows whether or not players can still access their purchased games if it comes to pass, but don’t be surprised if everything is gone once things are shut down.

Speaking of new PlayStation services, the new PS5 VR controllers were recently revealed and you can take a look at them here.

Additionally, the update marks the return of Armor Ace, this time in a fierce battle against Commissioner Chaos and the Yukon Five! Season 4 brings all-new rewards to the Scoreboard, from cosmetics, to consumables and everything in-between.

Summer

  • Power Trip – Stumble onto the future-funk dancefloor and light up those tiles in a battery-powered battle for disco domination!
  • Big Shots – Ever wondered what it’d be like to stand on a See Saw while inflatable stars, magnets, gamepads, and miniature Saturns were shot at you? Well, now you’ll know.

The Last of Us HBO Series Will Cover The Events of the First Game

Fans of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us franchise who are very much looking forward to the live-action TV series adaptation will be happy to know that The Last of Us HBO series will cover the events of the first game — literally telling the 2013 video game’s story while adding some new and unique content not found in the game itself.

Check out the video interview IGN conducted with the series’ creative director Neil Druckmann, as well as narrative lead Halley Gross.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a fictional fungal virus known as the cordyceps virus infects humanity and turns its victims into cannibalistic zombie like creatures, The Last of Us is a heartwrenching survival horror experience — which follows two individuals named Joel and Ellie who must trek across the former United States to deliver a package that may be the key to a cure and salvation of the human race. A hardened survivor with a tragic past, Joel guides and protects the young Ellie against dangers that are infected and human, eventually establishing a father-daughter type relationship that becomes the emotional core of their story.

Previously, we reported that Game of Thrones stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey were cast as Joel and Ellie for HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us. No other details or release window has been projected for the series yet as it’s currently in production.

Resident Evil Movie Reboot Is Officially Titled Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

The Resident Evil Movie Reboot has been given a name, and is officially going to be titled Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City!

As revealed by director Johannes Roberts during an interview with IGN during the SXSW online event, the new title is a callback to the familiar city that serves as the setting of the original Resident Evil games — particularly Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Check out the video interview below.

 

Adapting the first two games of the series, Roberts’ Resident Evil film will be a fresh start for the live-action movie franchise and will have no connection to the Milla Jovovich movies. Firmly set in the game’s timeline in the year 1998, the first Resident Evil took place in an isolated mansion located in the outskirts of Raccoon City, but the reboot will also cover the story and events of the second game when the city falls to the zombie outbreak.

Kaya Scodelario of The Maze Runner films has been cast as Claire Redfield, with Robbie Amell playing her brother and longtime series lead Chris Redfield. Hannah John-Kamen will also play fan-favorite character Jill Valentine, while Avan Jogia is the rookie RPD cop Leon S. Kennedy. The cool and calculating Albert Wesker will be played by Tom Hopper, while Dr. William Birkin will be brought to life by the talented Neal McDonough.

This week also marks the official celebration of Resident Evil’s 25th Anniversary, and RE fan and game writer Alex Aniel recently detailed the coverage Famitsu made of the year long celebration Capcom has planned for the series.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will be released in theaters this coming September 3.

Rumor: Battlefield 6 Reveal Set for May

As we learned recently, Battlefield 6 is currently targeting a Holiday 2021 release with the reveal coming this Spring according to EA. While no firm month was confirmed by the publisher, it seems that a new rumor has surfaced that points to a possible Battlefield 6 reveal happening in May.

Coming fresh off a GamesBeat livestream, industry’s insider, Jeff Grub claims that EA is currently looking at May for a Battlefield 6 reveal.

“Things are still fluid. They haven’t announced anything publicly yet. But my understanding is that they’re probably looking at May.”

To add a bit of fuel to this rumor, well known and reliable leaker Tom Henderson also posted a “prediction” with the date landing on May 7.

Of course this should all be taken with a grain of salt, since nothing has been confirmed by EA or DICE regarding Battlefield 6. Heck, we don’t even know if it will be called Battlefield 6.

Current rumors put the setting of Battlefield 6 to be taken place in modern time, which is a contrast to the last two mainline Battlefield games, Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 1. We do know that DICE is leading the project, with DICE LA lending support for the game’s live-services, while racing studio Criterion has also been confirmed to be helping DICE Sweden with development. No official game details have yet to be revealed, but rumors have surfaced that it will feature free-to-play elements, and have “Levolution on steroids.”

Hopefully this is one rumor that is true, or at least an earlier reveal is planned. May isn’t that far away, so we should be hearing on some official news from EA real soon. Again, for now take this rumor with a grain of salt, but we will be sure to update you all if we hear anything more, so stay tuned!

Unofficial Battlefield 3 Battle Royale Mod Gameplay Teaser Fires Out

If you didn’t dig Battlefield 5’s Firestorm battle royale mode, then the Battlefield modding community might have just the thing! Modding group KVN has put it upon themselves to develop an unofficial Battlefield 3 battle royale mode using the Venice Unleashed mod which was released in December last year.

Note that this is in no way official or vouched for by DICE or EA, so understandably, the development process is taking a lot longer. The team did release a gameplay teaser though, and it’s shaping up something fierce it seems.

It’s just 14 seconds long, but there’s actual gameplay sprinkled throughout which should be a godsend for Battlefield fans hoping we get a proper battle royale mode. The mod team did roll out an FAQ on their Discord which touches on some of the key things would-be players might be asking.

FAQ:

– Do I need to own Battlefield 3 to play this mod?
Yes, you need to own Battlefield 3 Premium or Vanilla with (currently) the End Game DLC.

– Does the steam version of Battlefield 3 Premium also work?
Yes!

– Where can I download it? How can I play?
You can’t play yet but once it’s done you could play this mod trough (sic) Venice Unleashed: https://veniceunleashed.net/

– When will it be released?
TBA

– How can I contribute?
Currently the only thing we need is time, but we will need playtesters in the future (we will notify everyone about the playtests here on our Discord).

– How does this compared to any other battle royale game (like pubg, firestorm, apex etc.)?
While developing we wanted to stay as close to the Battlefield 3 experience as possible for example the only character physics code we modified currently is the free fall physics after you jumped out of the plane (so you could land further).

We do not want to modify any of the weapons as well, we just not gonna use all of them and group them according to their OPness. (We have 3 tiers)

The revive, health, ammo, armor system is sill in development so we don’t want to set in stone anything yet.

We have a working ping system for teams, and a merchant/shop system is in the works.

– Can I host my own server?
We try to develop this mod to be as configurable as possible but we think that in the first couple of months all servers should stick to the same settings so players won’t get confused joining from one server to the other. But we will talk more in depth about hosting near the release!

Once more details are shared, we’ll let the community know.

Marvel’s Avengers MCU-Inspired Skins Set for Release in Spring

While Crystal Dynamics confirmed that the team was working on some Marvel’s Avengers MCU-inspired skins from their recent roadmap, what wasn’t made clear was when they were being released. Well, now it seems we have a better timeline as they are set to drop with another DLC later this year.

In yet another developer stream for Marvel’s Avengers, Crystal Dynamics’s Philippe Therien confirmed via Twitch chat that players can expect some Marvel’s Avengers MCU-inspired skins to drop right once the The Red Room DLC releases, which is slated for this Spring.

Further clarification was addressed with Therien stating that the skin drops start with the Red Room. Sadly no further information was offered concerning the skins, but at least we now know to expect them sooner, rather than on the later, Summer side of the roadmap. We’ll be sure to keep you all updated on any new development, but for now, hopefully you are enjoying the recent Hawkeye content drop along with the next-gen versions of the game!

Rainbow Six Parasite Gameplay From Tech Test Leaks Out

Following our report yesterday that Ubisoft was holding a Rainbow Six Paraiste (also known as Quarantine) tech test this weekend, it seems some people involved in the test didn’t care much for the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) that they signed, as one gamer even streamted Rainbow Six Parasite gameplay!

Check out the gameplay on Facebook Gaming (via WhatIfGaming), where an hour of gameplay footage from the PvE shooter can be seen. There’s also six operators listed below confirmed to be in the game so far, doubt chances are high that this will go up given there’s not a lot of info about the game known currently.

  • Tachanka
  • Ela
  • Finka
  • Lion
  • Alibi
  • Vigil

Same as Rainbow Six Siege, Parasite seems to give roles to operators, which means each character has an ability that lets them standout from the pack. One such role is Ela, who’s described as a Stunner/Pusher. Players can also expect your standard weapon customization and more.

Once we know more details, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Marvel’s Avengers Play Solo & Without AI Is Being “Pursued” by Crystal Dynamics, More Info Coming Soon

While Marvel’s Avengers can be played solo (meaning you don’t need other people controlling your other teammates), you really can’t go at it alone without party members controlled by AI. It looks like that might be changing soon, as Crystal Dynamics Lead Combat Designer Vincent Napoli confirmed that the studio is looking to implement a Marvel’s Avengers play solo feature (with no AI), is being “pursued” by the studio.

This was confirmed by the developer over on the game’s subreddit where a fan asked whether an option to play Warzones and missions without AI is a possiblity.

Ability to play some warzones and missions without any AI (or less than 4)
byu/iCoreyTimmons inPlayAvengers

This was Napoli’s response:

Can safely say that this is something we have always wanted to pursue and are now, in fact, doing so! More info should be coming soon!

Hopefully, in this case “soon” means in the next few weeks. In other Marvel’s Avengers news, don’t forget to check out the game’s 2021 roadmap (which we’ve updated) where it’s confirmed that Black Panther is the next hero coming our way.

Would you want to be able to choose how many teammates you can have in each mission or would just that frustrate players? Share your thoughts down below.

Marvel’s Avengers Spider-Man Launch Delayed, May Not Come Out in 2021

Looks like PlayStation users who play Marvel’s Avengers on either the PS4 or PS5 will have to be patient with developer Crystal Dynamics — as the company announced that the Marvel’s Avengers Spider-Man PlayStation exclusive hero has been delayed and may not come out in 2021.

Speaking to IGN, Crystal Dynamics head of studio Scot Amos was interviewed and spoke what the progress is with the DLC featuring the fan-favorite wallcrawling hero.

“I can tell you that, formally, officially, people are working on him right now, “So it is still on our roadmap for the future.”

While Spidey is still headed to the game, Amos made it ckear that Spider-Man won’t arrive before Black Panther, which is tagged “Summer and Beyond.” For those thinking that Spider-Man’s roster appearance is in jeopardy, Amos did mention that the roadmap doesn’t represent all the work in-progress, but only what the studio can commit in the near-term, and added:

But there are people working on [him], and we still fully expect Spider-Man to come to PlayStation.” Amos gave no indication of a timescale for that, however.

You can check out the full 2021 Marvel’s Avengers roadmap and Black Panther reveal here.

While Spider-Man is still up on the horizon, Marvel’s Avengers updates are still ongoing and Update 1.28 just hit this March 19 — which you can read the details about here.

Tencent Patents “PC Video Game Console,” Hardware Images Revealed

Do you have room for more gaming devices in your life? It appears multi-billion corporation Tencent might be eyeing to enter the hardware video game market, as the company has obtained a patent for a “PC video game console” today.

The console itself looks like a Nintendo Switch hybrid though running on Windows platform.

Note that gaming handhelds and even home consoles that run Windows and Android is nothing new. But given this is Tencent, which has war chest that could rival Microsoft, and has its hands in a lot of video game companies, it’s definitely worth noticing. Tencent is also the distributor for the Nintendo Switch in China, so take from that what you will.

Also, Tencent filing a patent for this doesn’t mean we’ll see this come out with 100% certainty. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see one.

Thanks, ZhugeEX!

Hashbane Talks Instinction – Dino Crisis Inspiration, Dinosaur AI & More

While there’s no drought of horror games in the video game market, the same can’t be said for games focused on dinosaurs. Thankfully, that’s about to change soon with Hashbane Interactive’s “Instinction” which is set to roar its way onto the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC this 2022.

Hashbane took time out of its busy schedule to answer some early questions from us about the game. Keep in mind, the gameplay reveal hasn’t dropped yet, so our questions couldn’t really bite into the specifics about it. That said, we did ask about the studio’s thoughts on Capcom’s Dino Crisis, which is the team’s inspiration, and whole lot more.

Check out our full interview with studio co-founder Jade Saunders, and Lead Developer Richard Gold.

MP1st: Why do you think no one has truly committed to the Dinosaur genre? I mean, we have games like Ark Survival Evolved and Second Extinction, but those are so heavily focused on the multiplayer side of things, it’s not exactly what dino fans are craving for, yet it’s one they keep getting.Is there some sort of hesitation to making one story driven? The genre used to be so popular. What happened?

Jade: It may not be the dinosaur genre per se, but more hesitation with a comparison to Dino Crisis or the backlash that comes with it. ARK in particular, as a dinosaur game has a huge following, and it has its place, as Does Path of Titans or Jurassic Park, we could go on. The only consistent common denominator is dinosaurs, but the games are very different, in the same way racing games are unique to each other or how first-person shooters have all earned and deserve their own identity.

The hesitation, however, could even stem further than a straight forward comparison and be closer to a concern about litigation. Capcom also has teased a DC comeback and then didn’t, so it’s time for a new contender.

Richard: From our experience with releasing some old behind-the-scenes footage, there is an insane desire for more dinosaur games, we initially released these clips to see if there was an appetite and to obtain some meaningful feedback directly from the public before fully building the game. The communities that exist regarding paleoart, paleo games and enthusiasts are massive! We are paleo nerds ourselves.

Jade: I‘d prefer to call it paleo-passionate!

MP1st: How did the game come to be? Is this a case of long-time Dino Crisis fans that grew up playing the games, and now banded together to make one themselves? 

Hashbane: Your assumption is 100% correct and only part of the equation, the topic came up a few times and we were willing to make a small game with dinosaurs, just for fun. We had all worked with Unreal Engine, with varying degrees of understanding using UE4 and decided to make it a pet project, a few hours a week, maybe. Within the first week we had a working prototype that we could deploy. When we showed some friends & family there was a common, “holy sh*t, is this Dino Crisis?”. It was hard to deny the influence and other games like Turok and action adventure games in general certainly played a role initially.

It became apparent, we should probably look at making this a real game. This led to everything else, we started a new studio, we needed to dedicate our efforts to this game. Fortunately our other business, Dane Design, wasn’t really affected by the pandemic and became an initial funding source for the game.
Most of the older crew were heavily drawn to the similarities with previous dino games that we loved.

MP1st: Dino Crisis has such a loyal fanbase, how is the studio looking to “win” these gamers over?

Richard: Dino Crisis is and always will retain its own identity, we like what it was and have no intention to distract from that. We just know that so many of us have waited too long, and while there have been other tribute attempts at remaking DC, no other developer could get away with taking over the IP of Dino Crisis. That’s one of the reasons we are offering modding support(as well as character customisation in-game), if you want to call your character “Regina” and make the character resemble an early DC character, you can! Also Dino Crisis 1 and 2 had fixed cameras, almost top-down gameplay and that’s not what we are doing here. 

Jade: Personally, I’m still a fan of Dino Crisis, there are some really cool games slightly similar to the early DC games, you know the 4:3 frame ratio and pixelated graphics, games like Compound Fracture. I’d say what’s important to lovers of DC is just that, we share a love for the original and hope to play something to bring back that nostalgia, that’s our goal with Instinction!

MP1st: Besides having Dinosaurs, what makes Instinction a “spiritual successor” to Dino Crisis? 

Richard: Let me also address this broad term of spiritual successor here, we obviously all loved and still appreciate what Dino Crisis was and what it meant to a huge segment of gamers that had the pleasure to experience it in its heyday. We just intend to recreate what we all felt back then and also instill that experience in a new generation of gamers and with modernised gameplay and mechanics.

instinctionMP1st: Why do you think Capcom hasn’t revisited the Dino Crisis series for almost 18 years?

Jade: That’s debatable, and there are opinions from every which way. Some say they are still licking their wounds from the diabolical failure that was Dino Crisis 3, others will have you believe that their other IP, namely Resident Evil, took precedent, especially considering the Resident Evil movie was released in 2002 right around the same time Dino Crisis started to falter. You take your pick, it’s speculation and we don’t have the answers.

MP1st: From the looks of the snippet of gameplay and the recent third-person toggle test, there appears to be a lot of “weight” to the overall gunplay feel. Would you say this is true, or is it more of an arcade shooter? Why was it important to go this route versus the other?

Richard: The guns are meant to feel exceptionally accurate, from their rate of fire, perceived weight and how it affects gameplay is huge in this game. The weapons are projectile based and not hitscan, but on a lower skill level this is less noticeable. There’s more gunplay videos coming out and you’ll get a feel for how this is handled.

MP1st: Can we expect to see some close quarter interiors?

Richard: Yes, we’ll release more examples in the coming days. For those wondering, there is a massive research facility in the game, as well as a large cave and cenote system.

MP1st: What’s the team’s approach to making the Dinosaurs feel “alive?”

Richard: This comes down to believable movement, textures and sounds. They have  dismemberment and gore mechanics, if you’re planning on knee-capping a dinosaur, you’ll see it limping for instance. Some but not many are NPC (non-player characters) which add to the ambience of the game, yes you can kill them too, but you can think of the use of them similar to adding birds to a game.

MP1st: Speaking of being alive, what can we expect from the AI? Will packs of raptors react differently in certain situations? Do you feel that players will have a constant fear?

Richard: Yes, you can expect flocking dynamics in the AI, this can also be said of some of the underwater gameplay.

MP1st How much gore can players expect? Will the game feature dinos eating humans or is it more implied carnage? What rating is the studio expecting for the title?

Jade: In one word: Gruesome. Once we release the reveal trailer we’ll apply for an ESRB rating, it’s likely not going to be child friendly!

MP1st: In terms of ambience, is this more in-line to traditional survival horror experiences? Or can players expect a more sandbox-y feel while maintaining tension?

Richard: The world is being designed in such a way that some areas can only be accessed or played through a certain way, objectives and missions will force the player to specific confines. The game is narrative driven, yet players aren’t restricted to play in sequence.

Jade: There are parts of the game that require holding your breath, there is a lot of underwater exploration. Sometimes you’ll have no weapons and will need to use your brain to get yourself out of tough situations. It has lots of side quests, however it won’t feel empty and purposeless like many open-worlds feel.

MP1st: Are there plans to use the DualSense’s haptic feedback to good use? Like, say, if a dinosaur takes a bite out of the player and such?

Jade: If you were to close your eyes and play with different guns you’d soon start to recognise different weapons, even with your eyes closed.

Richard: We don’t want the focus of the game play experience to be central around just those features, but they are utilised for PS5 in the game. We want to focus on the experience of the game first and have the Dualsense features complement the experience.

Jade: I personally love the adaptive triggers for shooter games, and while some think they are just a gimmick, I think the controller as a whole really adds to the game.


MP1st would like to thank Hashane Interactive for taking time out of its busy schedule to talk to us. Instinction will be getting its gameplay reveal later this year. You can check out official announcements from the game via the official Instinction Twitter account.

Warframe Update 29.10 March 19 Patch Brings Corpus Proxima and Railjack Update to PC

Tennos, a new Warframe patch is out, and it’s the update 29.10 March 19 patch — which is live now and brings Corpus Proxima and a new Railjack to the game. We have the complete details below via the press release.

Courtesy of Digital Extremes, here’s the patch notes.

Warframe Update 29.10 March 19 Patch Notes:

Update 29.10.0: Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack

Corpus Railjack has arrived, Tenno. As we continue down our “ship what we’ve shown” path, we’ve finally arrived at Corpus Proxima! While reviewing the current state of Railjack as we worked on Corpus Proxima, we knew we needed to rework what we had in addition to adding new content. Introducing: Railjack Retrofit! Our initial 2019 Empyrean venture was a daring leap into space, but as we aimed for Lua there were some missteps. Our initial vision to provide a fresh new gameplay experience progressed into being overly complicated with an unnecessarily high barrier to entry.  This Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack Update aims to simplify the Railjack experience for new and returning players. We encourage you to take your time as you dive back in – a lot has changed! And if you’re new to Railjack, welcome. It’s the perfect time to start.

As you’ve probably guessed, Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack is a Mainline Update! In usual Mainline fashion, some unreleased things may slip through the cracks and potentially cause some bumps. Please let us know if you spot anything by reporting in our threads!

You’ll be able to report feedback (or bugs) here:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1253287-update-29100-bug-hunting-megathread-read-first-post/

Or, take a birds-eye-view look in our new Update board: https://trello.com/b/K34ACrAu/pc-update-29100-bug-feedback-tracking

CORPUS PROXIMA:
The Corpus Railjack Update is here! This Update brings you a full Corpus Railjack experience with brand new regions and Points of Interest to explore.  

New Corpus Proxima Regions

Robots and Crewmen are taking to the skies and have greatly expanded the Proxima Star Chart – three new planets (Venus, Neptune and Pluto Proxima) will introduce new enemies, new Points of Interest and more. There will also be the most difficult missions for Corpus Railjack added to the Veil Proxima.

The types of missions available are now more diversified, in our efforts to further combine the Railjack experience with regular Warframe gameplay.

Some of these new mission types will already be familiar – classic Defense and Exterminate modes will occasionally be the main objective of a Railjack mission. Fight your way into the capital ship as a team, and extract back to Railjack upon completion.

If it’s loot you’re after, those greedy Corpus in the Corpus Proxima have many secrets to explore! Leave no container unopened, no vessel untouched, no enemy unbothered!

Each Corpus Proxima mission has structures for keen Tenno to explore and loot. Happy hunting!

Ice Mines: Neptune Proxima

Derelict Freightlinker: Pluto Proxima and Veil Proxima

Orokin Shield Derelict: Venus Proxima

We have also added two new mission types!

The first, known as Orphix, will be familiar to anyone who played the Orphix Venom event – take down the Sentient invaders, making use of Operators and Necramechs to circumvent the nullifier pulse fields. Similar to the Operation, if you do not own a Necramech of your own there are downed Necramechs available in mission for you to use. Instead of earning event currency, these missions can reward Arcanes, offering an alternative to Eidolon capturing squads. Orphix nodes will be locked if you have not completed the Second Dream due to heavy spoilers!

The second is known as Volatile! This completely new Mission type will offer the means to sabotage a Capital ship. Help Cephalon Cy from the inside by making use of the environment to cause a Reactor failure, while fighting off Engineers who can stop you!

A full list of rewards can be found on our public PC droptable site: warframe.com/droptables

Here is a list of other rewards found within Corpus Railjack:

  • Carmine Penta
    • A special variant of the Penta grenade launcher, featuring a higher fire rate and doubled magazine size.
      • Find the Carmine Penta Blueprint and Components on new Corpus Railjack Derelict Freightlinkers!
  • Athodai
    • Reverse-engineered from propulsion tech to pack a serious kick. Headshot kills trigger Overdrive, locking off secondary functions while maximizing your fire rate and ammo efficiency for a short time.
      • Find the Athodai Blueprint and its respective parts on new Corpus Railjack Orokin Shield Derelicts!
  • New Rifle Mod: Internal Bleeding
    • Impact Status Effects have a 35% chance to apply a Slash Status Effect (x2 when Fire Rate is below 2.5).
      • Find the Internal Bleeding Mod on new Corpus Railjack Derelict Freightlinkers, Ice Mines, and Orokin Shield Derelicts!
  • New Pistol Mod: Hemorrhage
    • Impact Status Effects have a 35% chance to apply a Slash Status Effect (x2 when Fire Rate is below 2.5)
      • Find the Hemorrhage Mod on new Corpus Railjack Derelict Freightlinkers, Ice Mines, and Orokin Shield Derelicts!
  • New Warfan Stance: Votive Onslaught
    • Precise, focused arcs and cuts not hampered by pity.
      • Find the Warfan Stance on new Corpus Railjack Derelict Freightlinkers, Ice Mines, and Orokin Shield Derelicts!
  • New Nautilus Sentinel
    • With ‘Auto Omni’ and ‘Cordon’ as default Precepts, this Sentinel is the ideal companion for long voyages aboard a Railjack.
      • Find the new Nautilus Sentinel Blueprint and Components in new Corpus Railjack Ice Mines! 
  • Nyx Prime, Hikou Prime, and Scindo Prime Relics
  • Valkyr Prime, Venka Prime, and Cernos Prime Relics
    • We’ve permanently Unvaulted Nyx/Valkyr Prime and their accompanying Prime weapons in Corpus Railjack! Find their Relics in new Corpus Railjack Derelict Freightlinkers, Ice Mines, and Orokin Shield Derelicts! As well as in Grineer Point of Interest rewards!
  • Warframe Arcanes in Rotation C (i.e every 12 Orphix) of Orphix gamemode in Corpus Railjack (max 36 Orphix).
  • Ash and Oberon have been added to Railjack rewards! Oberon Component Blueprints can be found in Grineer Railjack Point of Interest and Skirmish Bonus reward tables, and Ash Component Blueprints can be found in Corpus Railjack Defense mission rewards.
    • We’ve permanently removed Ash and Oberon Blueprints from Eximus and Manic drop tables respectively. We did this to connect Railjack to some more ‘core Warframe’ style rewards, and make their acquisition more straightforward for matchmaking purposes. 

Corpus Missions & Points of Interest Feedback Megathread: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1253291-update-29100-corpus-missions-points-of-interest-feedback-megathread-read-first-post/

NEW CORPUS RAILJACK ENEMIES

With new Proxima regions unveiled come new Railjack enemies of the Corpus variety! Corpus Proximas are loaded with special units engineered to withstand the outer limits of the Star Chart, and also bring you down.

Each Corpus Proxima has identifiable units:

Venus Proxima: TARO

Neptune Proxima: AXIO

Pluto Proxima: VORAC

Veil Proxima (Corpus nodes): ORM

Arm your Railjack to fend off HARPI attack fighters armed with rapid-fire plasma cannons, WEAVER fighters who spin and launch target-seeking globes of highly-charged plasma, BASILISK fighters with tracking turrets that deliver focused bursts from its energy beam, and many more!

Storm Capital Stanchion ships to battle ATLOC RAKNOIDS upgraded with a thorax-mounted missile launcher, VAMBAC special units equipped with proximity-grenade launcher, CULVERI MOAS armed with a high-intensity thermal beam, the Corpus Proxima Elite AURAX units, and many more!

Hijack enemy Corpus Crewships to take control of not only flight, but also their Missile Swarm firepower!

NEW RAILJACK RESOURCE

Ticor Plate

High-density alloy armor plating used in the construction of offensive spacecraft.

This resource is a catch-all essential Forge Resource for Tenno! Ticor Plate can be fed to Helminth for Bile.

REMOVED RAILJACK RESOURCES

We are removing 6 Railjack Resources from drop tables:

  • Pustrels
  • Copernics
  • Trachons
  • Kesslers
  • Bracoid
  • Fresnels

We wanted to reduce the number of Resources we introduced in our original Railjack launch. They’ll remain in your Inventory as we’ll be looking at possibly reintroducing them at a later date. All Blueprints that required these items have been updated to reflect viable Resources, and respective drops have been swapped to Ticor Plate where appropriate. These Resources have also been removed from Helminths Bile Feeding menu. If you spot any mentions of these Resources that we might have missed please let us know!

For Tenno who have partially contributed these Resources to Wreckage, the percentage of your contribution will be honoured for the Resource that replaces it. Ex: If you contributed 60% of the needed Copernics for a Carcinnox, that 60% contribution will be carried over when the Blueprints are updated.

Additionally, we are taking this opportunity to simplify Forge recipes to reduce the variety of resources needed. All forgeable items will require some combination of:

  • Ticor Plate
  • Titanium
  • Cubic Diodes (Corpus Proximas)
  • Carbides (Grineer Proximas)

NEW RAILJACK FOCUSED SENTINEL

Nautilus

  • With ‘Auto Omni’ and ‘Cordon’ as default Precepts, this Sentinel is the ideal companion for long voyages aboard a Railjack.

Find Nautilus in the Market for Platinum or its Blueprint/Components in Corpus Railjack Ice Mines! 

Auto Omni Precept Mod

  • Nautilus has 100% chance to repair nearby Railjack Hull damages and extinguishes fires on Railjack. Cooldown: 20s

Cordon Precept Mod

  • Nautilus forces enemies within 30m of the target into clusters for easier targeting. Cooldown: 15s

Both the Auto Omni Precept and Cordon Precept Mod are automatically given when Crafting or purchasing the Nautilus Sentinel! 

THE NEW RAILJACK: Railjack Retrofit!

What’s Changed:

Warframe has several key strengths that have helped it stand the test of time in the world of video games. One of these strengths is a sense of “flow”; blade and gun blend together, and mission objectives are clear, challenging reflexes and awareness. From your first foray into the Star Chart, mission progress flows into Junction progress, leading to Questlines and other systems opening up naturally.

Enter Railjack. Technology from the Old War that when wielded today, could take all of Warframe’s combat to Orbit. We tried many things that were different from the norm. While some elements did offer a unique spin on the existing formula, it was not for everybody, and many complaints cited the amount of separation from the main game as a negative. And we agree. To quote the venerable Cephalon Cy: We have work to do.

As we revisit Railjack in 2021, our overall goal is to simplify these points of friction, better integrating Warframe’s signature “flow”. This flow has evolved over the years for core Warframe, thanks in no small part to our continuous overhauls and revisits. From ‘Bullet Jumping’ to ‘The Sword Alone’, our path is rarely straight forward. If any Tenno out there chose to customize their Railjack Ship and name it ‘Theseus’, you may be onto something.

What is ‘The New Railjack’? The name is deceivingly simple. The depth will be explored in this workshop below, indexed by the way you will interact with it.

Here is a list of scripts / account changes happening on Login, with further information below:

More Accessible:

First thing’s first: if you have yet to build your Railjack as part of the Rising Tide Quest, the cost of ship components and the time it takes for each one to build has been dramatically reduced (the difference in cost will be part of our early adopter compensation below). Simply put: less Grind.

If you’d rather just jump straight into the action, a fully built Railjack will also be available through the in-game Market for Platinum in the new Railjack category (must have an Archwing to purchase). The Rising Tide Quest will automatically be completed if a Railjack is purchased from the in-game Market – you can replay the Quest at any time in the Codex! Maybe you’ve noticed a pattern – when we released Necramechs, we didn’t sell them for Platinum at launch either. Their Market appearance came many months later with Orphix Venom. It’s almost paradoxical that as a Free to Play game we don’t put these new items in the Market. There really isn’t a good reason, either, and players really have made it clear they’d like the option to buy new items with Platinum — whether bought or traded. And now the option is there.

For those who prefer the free path, they can enjoy a shorter wait and less Resources to build their own Railjack!

Avionics to Mods:

Now let’s talk AVIONICS. Before you even think of departing, you’ll want to revisit your Railjack’s Avionics, which have been redone as… Railjack MODS!

That’s right, Avionics are no more. This entire system has been completely overhauled, including Avionics being turned into regular Mods, so everything has been unequipped and reset. Gone are the days of upgradeable Grid slots, and praying that your Host’s Railjack has the Avionics you want to use. In fact, you aren’t even equipping things on the Railjack itself anymore…

Meet the ‘PLEXUS’

Instead, Tenno will have a “PLEXUS” that they bring with them into every Railjack mission, carrying the three types of Avionics you are familiar with. Battle/Tactical Mods remain the same, but are personal to you, being available on any Railjack you board. Integrated Mods will be separated much like Warframe mods: Personal Mod slots that only benefit you, and Aura Mods that benefit the Railjack and your entire squad. Aura Mods for the Plexus will simply go in the designated Aura slot, similar to how Modding your Warframe works!

The Plexus comes pre-installed, no player Orokin Reactors required!

You will also gain Mastery with your Plexus from Affinity gained in your Railjack missions, which will let you Forma the Plexus to its maximum potential!

Railjack Integrated Mod Screen:

Railjack Tactical Mod Screen:

Railjack Mod drains have been rebalanced with respect to the new PLEXUS Modding system.

We hope that reverting back to the familiar Modding screen will help lessen the learning curve for new players. The shift to personal Mod loadouts should also allow for a more consistent gameplay experience, including public matchmaking.

For added convenience, the Plexus can be Modded in several locations: in your Dry Dock terminal (like before), in the new Dry Docks found in various Relays (accessible via Fast Travel), and even in your own Orbiter!

Dirac to Endo

Since Avionics are now treated like regular Mods, Dirac (the upgrade Resource for Avionics) is being converted into Endo, for a more cohesive upgrading experience. All Dirac spent on your Grid will be reimbursed (i.e up to 39,000 Dirac to Endo if you maxed out your Grid), and all existing Dirac stockpiles will turn into Endo on login of Update 29.10.0 at a rate of 1:1.

Intrinsics 2.0

Now, onto Intrinsics!  Firstly, you’ll need to re-spec ALL your Intrinsics when you login! Because we changed so much, we want to make sure everyone gets a fresh start on where to spend their Intrinsics. This gives us the opportunity to overhaul the various progression trees, rewarding players’ investment in progression.

It’s worth noting that no Mastery has been lost with this re-spec!

We removed the Pilot Drift Maneuver Charge/Launch because it could often lead to unintended collisions. Pilots can now impeccably maneuver their craft at high speeds once they learn the new system without risk of accidents!

Command Intrinsic

The newest and long awaited Command Intrinsic makes its debut! Command brings a whole new gameplay choice to Railjack by giving you the option to Hire your own Crew to operate familiar Railjack tasks: Piloting, Gunnery, Repair, and Combat! For those that want to Solo venture out in space, Hiring a Crew member can help you manage all the aspects of surviving and thriving out in the Proximas.

With the Intrinsic re-spec in this Update you can now spend your Intrinsics towards Command if it’s up your gameplay alley:

Command
1 1st Crew Member:

Unlocks the first Crew member and the ability to hire them from Ticker.

2 Competency Gain:

Allows you to give 1 Competency point to your Crew members.

3 2nd Crew Member:

Unlocks the second Crew member.

4 Competency Gain:

Allows you to give 1 Competency point to your Crew members.

5 3rd Crew Member:

Unlocks the third Crew member.

6 Competency Gain:

Allows you to give 1 Competency point to your Crew members.

7 Competency Retraining:

Allows you to redistribute previously assigned Competency points.

8 Unusual Crewmates:

Converted Liches become available as Crew members. (Liches can only Defend the Railjack from enemies)

9 On Call:

One of your Crew members can be designated as being On Call and can be summoned to aid you in non-Railjack missions.

Your ‘Second in Command’ will join you on missions to help for a limited time – they can’t be away from their Railjack post for too long!

10 *RANK 10 WILL BE AVAILABLE AT A LATER DATE*
Coming Soon

Once you’ve unlocked your Command Intrinsic and have Crew Member Slots for Crewmates, it’s time to visit Ticker in Fortuna. She can put you in touch with a wide variety of people from all across the Star Chart for the right Hire price! Their price may be determined by your alignment with certain Syndicates – some Crew will join you at a discount, and others double the price! Your Syndicate alignments determine all.

Each Crew for Hire will have their own set of competencies: Piloting, Gunnery, Repair, Combat, and Endurance.

Your Crew will help keep your Railjack operational when flying in squads of less than 4 players. Which is to say – your Crew will help you out provided a Tenno cannot! Each Crewmate is available forever once Hired, but if you want to have more than 3 Crew members available to you, you’ll need to purchase more Crew Member Slots via the in-game Market or ‘End Contract’ with a Crewmate to release from service.

Crew Training & Management 

Once you’ve Hired a Crew member from Ticker, head back to your Dry Dock management screen and visit the new Crew tab to ‘ASSIGN CREW’ for your Railjack.

If you don’t have access to a Clan Dry Dock, fear not! Publicly available Dry Docks can be found in the Second and Third tier Relays (Saturn – Kronia and Pluto – Orcus relays on PC) on each Platform.

Here you can also customize Appearance, Equip a Weapon, Train, and Assign Roles for each Hired Crew member.

Appearance

Utilize your collection of Fashion Frame cosmetics and equip your Crew members with Armor and Syandanas. Fully customize the color channels of each Crew member to your liking!

Equip Primaries

Put your firepower in your Crew’s hands by sharing the wealth of your Arsenal with them! You can equip any Rifle, Shotgun, or Pistol Weapon (no Bows, Spears, etc), you own for your Crew member to use, including the Mods and Customization. Any changes you make to your crew’s  weapons will also affect it in the Arsenal for your personal use as well. Weapons can only be equipped to one Crew Member at a time, no same Crew Member can use the same weapon from your Arsenal.

Train

Earn ‘Competency Points’ via Command Intrinsic Ranks to increase aptitude in certain roles:

  • Piloting: Determines maximum Railjack speed when Crewmate is Piloting.
  • Gunnery: Determines accuracy and heat accretion when Crewmate mans the Railjack Swivel Turrets.
  • Repair: Determines Crewmate’s Railjack repair and self-healing times.
  • Combat: Determines Crewmate’s combat damage.
  • Endurance: Determines Crewmate’s Health and Shield ratings.

These Competency Points can be applied to any member of the Crew you Hire. For example, if you have unlocked 3 Competency Points, you can spend 3 Competency Points on each Crew member. If you then End Contract with that Crew Member and hire another, you will be able to apply 3 Competency Points to them immediately. Simply put, they are not consumed / exclusive per Crew member!

Additionally, once you reach Command Rank 8, Converted Kuva Liches are available for Crewing your Railjack as a Defensive powerhouse who are very difficult to take down thanks to their incredibly high Health stat. Their role is strictly to guard your Railjack from intruders while you and your Crew get the rest done! Kuva Lich Crew members come as they are and cannot be Trained or Customized. If you Trade your equipped Converted Kuva Lich Crew member it will be removed from your Crew.

Assign Role

Assign each Crew member to specific roles before taking off, or change their assignments on the fly with the Tactical Menu! You can choose from Pilot, Defender, Gunner, or Engineer.

And there you have it! You and your new Railjack Crew are ready for the Proximas!

New Railjack Component: Plating

Even though Mods have been moved to a personal player level, the Components of your Railjack like Shields, Engines and Weapons (Armaments and Components) will still be dependent on the hosting player’s collection. This Update includes a number of new weapons to collect and upgrade (listed below), but also an entirely new component: Plating. Since Health and Armor Mods can no longer be applied to the Railjack itself, this component determines the Health and Armor values of your Railjack.

These new Plating Components can be found as Wreckage throughout Grineer & Corpus Railjack missions and can be Repaired and Valence Fusioned like all other Railjack Components in a Dry Dock.

Wreckage Cost Changes

Speaking of Shield, Engines, and Weapons (Armaments and Components), we have significantly reduced the Resources required to build options from the Wreckage you acquire. Simply put, yet again, less Grind.

Matchmaking Changes 

Once your Railjack and Plexus are all set up, it’s time to find a mission. We’ve taken this opportunity to streamline Railjack Matchmaking, better following the rules set out in the main game. Playing as a Host used to require starting the mission from your own Railjack (Liset or Dry Dock). Now, clicking a node with no open squads in the regular Star Chart will start your own hosted mission, instead of giving you an error about no open squads and asking you to go to the Dry Dock (or the back of your Ship).

  1. What’s different in missions?

New Railjack Layout

When you first step onto your Railjack, you may notice a few key differences…

The left and right turrets behind the cockpit are no more; instead you’ll find entrances to a “dorsal” turret on top of the ship, and a “ventral” turret on the bottom. This makes 360 degree turning much more sensible, and will improve the sensation of aiming while in motion, as you now look in the direction of ship flight by default.

Going further back in your Railjack, there used to be a large open area with several floors, connecting to the Archwing Slingshot at the top, and the cargo hold at the back. This area is essentially no more – all of the ship’s vital functions have been compressed into a single smaller space, to reduce traversal time between stations. The Arsenal has also been removed from this space as a result. When fast traveling to the ‘Arsenal’ from the pause menu while your Railjack is docked in the Dojo, you will now simply be teleported to your Dojo’s Arsenal.

Stamina is Gone!
Back in the cockpit, you choose a mission node and launch from the Dry Dock. Upon warping into the sector, your Railjack feels lighter and more mobile than ever before… Not only has the base speed of the Railjack been increased, but also the Railjack sprint bar is no more! Making it much easier to reach mission objectives quickly.

Pilots CAN fire their gun while Boosting at the cost of the Railjack slowing down, as opposed to a hard stop previously mentioned in our Dev Workshop, at which Boosting will resume once firing is over. We’ve added a small cooldown to the Dodge maneuver to compensate for the sprint bar removal, but it can still be used much more frequently than before!

Opening the Tactical menu, you’ll see that the map perspective is now static, a common player request. Crewmates will also appear at the bottom, allowing you to observe their position or issue new orders.

Forge and Individual Resource Pools

So now bullets, missiles and fighters are flying fast and hectic in the heat of battle. You aim at a swarm of Corpus fighters, deploy your personal avionic ability and… oh no! Someone already used all the Flux Energy!

If this has ever happened to you before, worry not. As of this update, all Railjack ammo stockpiles are tracked separately per player, but ammo crafted in the Forge replenishes the stockpiles for all Tenno. From Revolite to Dome Charges, you’ll only have to keep track of your own ammo consumption, but dedicated Engineers can still make a huge impact on gameplay if you call out what you need. These consumables will also replenish slowly on their own over time, so Railjacks will always be fully stocked before leaving the Dry Dock and there’s no need to ‘Refine’ the Forge at the end of your mission.

As part of the transition from Railjack-based Avionics to player-based PLEXUS, Battle/Tactical abilities will now be fueled by Warframe energy, and Flux Energy will be completely removed from the game (any Avionics that relate to it will be converted to Endo). This allows players with existing tools for Energy generation to better integrate those tools into regular Railjack gameplay, further intertwining the two sides of the game. For non-Energy consuming Warframes like Lavos and Hildryn, cool downs and Shield-as-energy on Railjack will apply, respectively.

Additionally, the Battle Forge can make Warframe Energy! This means that in addition to existing player strategies, the Forge itself will be regularly outputting large pools of Warframe Energy with Player use. As with Ammo, any Energy made in the Forge will be shared across the Squad, so remember to thank your Engineers!

Finally, we are adding a new craftable: Hull Restore! Forging these instantly restores Health to your Hull in real-time. In this new item and all other Forge craftables, the new resource Ticor Plate (that drops in all Railjack missions) will be essential in keeping your Railjack running smoothly!

Battle Mods

When it comes to casting the Battle Mods you have on your Plexus, be tactical. We’ve added a mechanic to balance against potential Battle Mod overuse – Battle Mods have a gauge that increases the Energy cost if you use duplicate Abilities in quick succession! Simply balance your casting against the meter on each Battle Mod, and you’ll get the most efficient and deadly use out of your strategies!

We have also done a balance pass on various Railjack Mods, some Battle Mods included. Please refer to the specific “RAILJACK BATTLE MOD CHANGES” section of the notes for more details!

Reactors

Now – let’s talk about Reactors. They existed to give you Avionics Capacity, and Flux Energy. Both of those things are now removed, so the new role of Reactors is to provide Power Strength, Range, or Duration buffs to Railjack Battle Avionics being used aboard the ship!

If you had Reactors prior to this update, you can see how yours changed to fit this new role in the “List of Player Account scripts and revisions” section near the top of these notes!

Malfunctions and Hazards

Railjack Malfunctions/Hazards have also received a refresher to no longer directly affect the Railjacks Health or Shields!

  • Electrical Hazards now scramble your Mini Map and disable use of the Tactical Menu.
  • Catastrophic Hull Breaches now deals damage to all players on board until it has been sealed.
  • Ice Hazards can now freeze interactive elements of the Railjack: Pilot seat, Forges, Archwing Slingshot, Doors, and Turrets.
  • Fire Hazards now cause weapons to overheat quicker and cool down more slowly.
  • Hull Ruptures have been removed all together.

Unified Damage Types 

Railjack combat inherited a lot of the familiar Warframe damage types, but with a twist. Impact became Ballistic, Cold became Frost, and so on. We are removing the second layer of ‘Railjack’ Damage types to unify and have the system be based on what Players already spend time learning: core Warframe elements. This means that:

Ballistic = Impact
Plasma = Puncture
Particle = Slash
Frost = Cold
Ionic = Electricity
Incendiary = Heat
Chem = Toxin

Node Changes

The Nodes in the Railjack you know are split across Earth, Saturn, and the Veil Proxima. There’s choice, sure, but there’s no real meaningful choice with the only option being ‘Skirmish’ – or at least it seems that way until you memorize what Points of Interest live on what nodes. Then what?

It comes down to too much repetition of a small set of nodes, and a lot of Railjack just being ignored. For what we believe to be the healthier new direction for Railjack, we are making some changes by removing some existing Grineer nodes.

This includes the removal of the Gian Point node. A decision that was not made lightly, but in the interest of improving the variety of missions played we felt it was a necessary step. We’ve essentially taken what was good about Gian Point (a quick turnaround mission with a high Affinity reward) and put it into the objectives of Railjack itself, so that the diversity of content gets played in more than just one node over and over (and over) again.

The addition of Corpus Proxima regions will introduce many new missions to play (and it’ll say more than ‘Skirmish’!). We’ve also added Corpus missions to the deep reaches of space in the Veil Proxima.

List of all Railjack Nodes being removed:

  • Posit Cluster
  • Minhast Station
  • Phanghoul Satellite
  • Jex Lanes
  • Rian Belt
  • Vila Gap
  • Spiro Gap
  • Rya
  • Gian Point
  • Ruse War Field
  • Ganalen’s Grave
  1. What Comes Next? 

This section outlines future content not included in this Update. 

Void Storms and Relics!

Despite our original plans, we cannot ship Void Storms with this Update due to the scope of changes and additions within the New Railjack. But that’s okay, because thematically they truly belong with Update 30: Call of the Tempestarii which is based on Void Storms in many ways. When Void Storms do come, they’ll offer Tenno a way to use their Void Relics in Railjack Missions! They’ll be a rotating optional mission type to play, just like Fissure Missions on the normal Star Chart, but much bigger and stormier.

And of course, the story behind Void Storms and more will be revealed in…

Update 30: Call of the Tempestarii

All the work going into Update 29.10.0 is to set the stage for Update 30: Call of the Tempestarii. Update 30 will bring a signature Warframe quest for Sevagoth, tease a new villain, and more. We also plan to release it at the same time on all Platforms! So while Update 29.10.0 comes to PC first, Update 30 will bring all of this and Sevagoth to Consoles at once.

The release of Corpus Liches a.k.a “Queenpins” is still planned for the future in its own update. Think more ‘Update 30.5’ territory. Don’t quote us on that Update number though, it could shift a bit.

New Railjack Armaments

The Corpus Proxima brings a whole new threat that requires all new firepower! These 4 new Railjack Armaments can be found as Wreckage from Corpus Railjack enemies.

  • TALYN
    • Rapid-fire laser cannon: burns targets with instantaneous beams. Fire rate builds with continuous use.
  • VORT
    • Electrical pulse projector: emits a volley of wide charged arcs that can knock out enemy systems.
  • GLAZIO
    • Ship-mounted ice driver: delivers heavy icicle bombardment, causing severe damage to enemy weak points
  • LAITH
    • Repeat shrapnel blaster: launches high-velocity abrasive fragments, ripping enemy hulls and armor apart.

Railjack Armament Changes:

We have received a lot of feedback on Railjack weapons since it’s release, and as a result, we have made some changes based both on effectiveness and feel. Overall, Railjack Armaments have received a buff to their Damage to better represent cutting through swathes of fighters, much like you would enemies on the ground. Some Armaments have had their accuracy or recoil altered (such as the Apoc Autocannon and Carcinnox) to make them have a more visually ‘cinematic’ effect of spaceship cannons, while maintaining their deadliness.

The Railjack is the pinnacle of Old War space combat technology, and we wanted these changes to better reflect that power.

APOC AUTOCANNON

  • Damage increased from 53 to 126
    • MKI Sigma/Vidar – damage from 96 to 227
    • MKII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 164 to 386
    • MKIII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 263 to 618
    • Lavan MKI – damage from 96 to 243
    • Lavan MKII – damage from 164 to 414

  • Increased the speed of the Apoc Autocannon projectiles.
  • Increased the recoil of the Railjack Apoc Autocannons.
  • Increased the size of the Apoc Autocannon projectile.
  • Decreased the Zetki Apoc Autocannon Heat Accretion from 20 to 18.
  • Decreased Apoc Autocannon accuracy.
    • With the projectile size increase and the combat engagement range the accuracy decrease should not effect gameplay at all, basically a cosmetic change of giving the projectiles a bit of natural looking variance

CARCINNOX

  • Carcinnox projectile size increased.
  • Carcinnox accuracy decreased.
    • Accuracy decrease is cosmetic, increase in projectile size counters any gameplay impact the decrease in accuracy brings
  • Damage increased from 30 to 80
    • MKI Sigma/Vidar – damage from 54 to 144
    • MKII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 92 to 245

    • Lavan MKI – damage from 54 to 155
    • Lavan MKII – damage from 92 to 263
    • Lavan MKIII – damage from 148 to 420
    • Zetki MKI – damage from 81 to 187
    • Zetki MKII – damage from 138 to 319
    • Zetki MKIII – damage from 222 to 510
  • Carcinoxx Status Chance increased:
    • Sigma and Vidar:
      • MKI 8 to 12%
      • MKII 12 to 17%

      • MKI 12 to 17%
      • MKII 17 to 24%
      • MKIII 24 to 34%
    • Zetki:
      • MKI 12 to 18%
      • MKII 18 to 26%
      • MKIII 26 to 36%

CRYOPHON

  • Damage increased from 400 to 972
    • MKI Sigma/Vidar – damage from 720 to 1750
    • MKII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 1224 to 2975
    • MKIII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 1959 to 4760
    • Lavan MKI – damage from 720 to 1873
    • Lavan MKII – damage from 1224 to 3184
    • Lavan MKIII – damage from 1959 to 5094
    • Zetki MKI – damage from 1080 to 2275
    • Zetki MKII – damage from 1836 to 3868
    • Zetki MKIII – damage from 2939 to 6188
  • Reduced heat accretion of Cryophon for Tenno, Vidar and Lavan from 250 to 150. Zetki from 350 to 250.

PHOTOR

  • Damage increased from 15 to 27
    • MKI Sigma/Vidar – damage from 27 to 49
    • MKII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 46 to 84
    • MKIII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 74 to 135
    • Lavan MKI – damage from 27 to 53
    • Lavan MKII – damage from 46 to 90
    • Lavan MKIII – damage from 74 to 145
    • Zetki MKI – damage from 41 to 59
    • Zetki MKII – damage from 69 to 101
    • Zetki MKIII – damage from 111 to 162
  • Increased Photor Sigma/Lavan/Vidar Heat Accretion increased to 10, and Zetki Heat Accretion increased to 18.

PULSAR

  • Damage increased from 52 to 120
    • MKI Sigma/Vidar – damage from 94 to 216
    • MKII  Sigma/Vidar – damage from 160 to 368
    • MKIII Sigma/Vidar – damage from 256 to 589
    • Lavan MKI – damage from 94 to 232

    • Zetki MKII – damage from 240 to 478
    • Zetki MKIII – damage from 384 to 766

RAILJACK BATTLE MOD CHANGES:

We have made numerous changes to Battle Mods (formerly Avionics) given that Reactors now enhance their Strength, Range, and Duration. Their initial stats needed to be slightly lowered since they can now be buffed, and we didn’t want their buffed values to exceed intended properties. Having a top tier Reactor in almost all cases will bring your Battle Avionics to surpass their previous stats!

  • Tether Battle Mod (previously Avionic) has been balanced for new gameplay:
    • No longer shoot to destroy.
    • Tethered enemies that die will explode, dealing damage to those around them.
    • Tethered enemies take additional damage from Railjack weapons.
    • Dev Comment:
      Tether trivialized a lot of the Railjack gameplay flow with how lethal it was toward Fighter units in one-size-fits-all bursts. We want to justify the changes to Tether in the scope of adding new content. Tether would continue to trivialize all phases of Railjack fighter content, so we have made changes to make it more phase-based while still rewarding tactical placement.
  • Blackout Pulse: Additional pulses occur based on how many enemies are hit by the first pulse. Blackout Pulse will also now detonate on impact.
  • Phoenix Blaze (previously Fiery Phoenix): Railjack weapons gain additional Heat Damage when this ability is active.
  • Made Seeker Volley better at picking targets for all missiles. Additionally, missiles start slow and speed up when they have a target.

New Railjack Equipment Feedback Megathread: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1253288-update-29100-new-railjack-equipment-feedback-megathread-read-first-post/

General Railjack Changes & Fixes:

  • Added tutorial pop-ups when using the Plexus, Intrinsics, Railjack Star Chart, and Dry Dock for the first time.
  • Ignis Wraith Blueprint has been added to Grineer Railjack missions as Point of Interest rewards!
  • Selecting the Dry Dock node in the Railjack Navigation menu while in your Orbiter will now take the player directly to their Dry Dock, instead of the default spawn point in your Dojo.
  • Railjack fighter spawning mechanics have been adjusted so enemies will now spawn in smaller, spread out groups to allow for a more engaging Railjack experience.
    • Oftentimes the Railjack fighter spawning logic would result in a large, tight cluster of enemies spawning at the same time that were easy to take out with a single hit (Tether, etc).
  • New Railjack boost and boost stop sounds have been added!
  • Removed the Dirac Bundles from the in-game Market.
    • Since Avionics are now Railjack Mods you can simply purchase Endo bundles in its place if desired.
  • Added a ‘RAILJACK’ tab to the Mod station.
  • Added ‘Next Power’ and ‘Use Selected Power’ in the Railjack Key Binding options (found under Options > Controls > Railjack > Customize Key Bindings).
    • The HUD will also now display the selected power if you have a binding for ‘Use Selected Power’ (previously this was locked to using a controller).
  • Updated Railjack weapon projectiles, trails, hit effects and muzzle FX for improved visibility/impact.
  • As per player feedback, equipped Railjack weapons and equipment will now appear with an ‘equipped’ banner in the Scrapping Wreckage window and will not allow you to Scrap said item.
    • This has also been applied to all other regular equipment, meaning anything that is currently equipped will appear as such and will not allow you to sell it.
  • Updated Impact hit FX for Archwing weapons.
  • Removed unused ‘preview’ option from the Railjack Scrap Wreckage screens.
  • Updated the Railjack icons in the Railjack Configuration for Components, Armaments, and Upgrade to better resemble what they are.
  • The Scrap Component/Scrap Wreckage screen will now display unique detailed stats for the item in question upon hover.
  • Fixed a crash as Client during Railjack missions.
  • Fixed Intrinsic gained not updating locally for Clients when returning to the Dry Dock from a Railjack mission.
  • Fixed Railjack not appearing in the Dry Dock if you’re a Client in another Dojo and accept an invitation to a squad where the Host is in their Dojo. This also fixes being unable to board the Railjack since well… you couldn’t see it anyways.
  • Fixed an issue with the Apoc where the attachments inside the ship no longer animated correctly.
  • Fixed Railjack skins appearing too green/blue in the in-game Market.
  • Fixed Credit rewards from Railjack missions not appearing at the end of mission screen.

NEW ZEPHYR HARRIER SKIN COLLECTION

Zephyr Harrier Skin

Ride the skies in breathtaking, windswept style.

Zephyr Arclite Landing Craft Skin

Impress fellow Tenno by pulling up to the mission in this striking, streamlined landing craft.

Operator Harrier Collection

A bold, radical look that tells everyone you rule the skies. Includes Harrier Suit, Harrier Sleeves, Harrier Leggings and Harrier Hood.

Zephyr Harrier Theme

Empower your UI with these scorching custom visuals.

Zephyr Harrier Collection

Soar to new heights as Zephyr with this turbocharged deluxe collection. Includes Zephyr Harrier Skin, Arclite Landing Craft Skin and Zephyr Harrier Theme.

In addition, there are two new Zephyr Harrier Agile & Noble Animations! These follow suit with other Deluxe Animations (Khora Urushu, etc) where they are available for Zephyr & Zephyr Prime, but Zephyr Harrier must be purchased to equip the Animations on other Warframes.

These are included with just the base Zephyr Harrier Skin purchase or with purchase of the Zephyr Harrier Bundle.

ZEPHYR ABILITY CHANGES:

Zephyr often finds herself among the lower-end of usage within the Warframe community. While many Tenno have truly mastered Zephyr’s Abilities, there are always notes on ways to improve her. When building out one of our deepest Deluxe bundles to date with Zephyr, we had to make time to review her abilities as well.

Tail Wind

Removed the hold-to-charge mechanic from the beginning, and instead made it so you can hold the ability at any time while in the air and it will toggle into hovering mode that holds you in flight while draining Energy every second. Hovering will now also allow you to move around instead of being fixed in place. Jump while Hovering to cancel. Hover now prevents gaining Energy from Energy Siphon, Energizing Dash, Trinity Energy Vampire, etc.

  • We think the hold mechanic doesn’t work because standing still in Warframe is so dangerous in higher level content and the time spent holding is time lost shooting.

Increased the damage of the Dive Bomb from 500 to 4500 base damage at Max rank, to better reward the time and skill it takes to effectively use it. Tail Wind’s Dive Bomb will now face the player in the direction they’re moving.

Airburst

Changed from a radial explosion that knocks enemies outward into a short duration vortex (like we did for Gauss’s Mach Crash Augment) so the pull is more reliable.

  • We’re leaning on the pull mechanic as it synergizes great with Tornadoes since you can pull enemies into them.

Turbulence

No changes!

Tornado

  • Holding will now cast stationary Tornadoes, as where tapping will cast regular roaming Tornadoes. Reduced the number of Tornadoes to 3 to prevent enemies from getting too scattered, and increased the pull of Tornado so enemies stay inside them more.
  • The radius that Tornadoes will grab enemies was increased to include by default the synergy with Airburst; you no longer need to use Airburst on your Tornado to increase its pull radius.
  • If an enemy dies while being held by Tornado they will now be expelled to alleviate wasting bullets on flailing ragdolls.
  • Finally, when you make stationary Tornadoes, they will appear where you are aiming instead of on top of random nearby enemies.  “Roaming” tornadoes still spawn on top of enemies.

Tornado feedback was composed of 2 main points:

  • Tornadoes tend to overly spread enemies around.
  • The pull of the Tornadoes is pretty tame, so sometimes it pulls enemies in and just tosses them out the other end. If you shoot an enemy in the Tornado it will often just kick them out of the Tornado.

Passive

Zephyr Rework: Passive ability added 150% stacking bonus Critical Chance while airborne to Primary/Secondary/Melee weapons.

General Zephyr Changes:

  • Updated Zephyr’s ability FX and sound for all 4 abilities, and added FX burst to the end of Turbulence (does not affect functionally).

LAVOS CHANGES & FIXES: 

  • Ophidian Bite: 
    • Increased the base Range from 8m to 10m.
      • What more is there to say? More whipping range! Beware the snake bites.
    • Increased Ophidian Bite’s downward vertical range.
      • Meaning there is now more distance between Lavos and the target underneath him where the cast will affect them, as per player feedback!
  • Vial Rush: Vial Rush is now steerable!
    • Similarly to Gauss’ Mach Rush, once cast you can use the directional keys or your reticle to move Lavos around during his Vial Rush dash.
  • Transmutation Probe: 
    • Increased the cooldown reduction from 1s to 1.5s.
    • Made improvements to Transmutation Probe’s travel pathing.
      • There were issues with the probe getting stuck on environment obstacles, we have made changes to reduce the chances of that happening!
  • Catalyze: Increased the travel speed of Catalyst Probes.
    • Catalyst Probes will now reach their max range positions quicker after cast.
  • Added a half second delay to Vial Rush and Transmutation Probe before you can cancel the ability so that you don’t accidentally cancel them early.
  • Fixed Lodestar Chest Plate, Heartwood Shoulder Plates, and the Arca Knee Guards clipping/tilting on Lavos.
  • Fixed in-game Market UI showing that Lavos has 175 Energy, when in fact, he does not (since he does not use Energy). It will now show ‘0’ as intended.

CREW MEMBER SLOT

Adds a new Crew Member Slot

MELEE CHANGE: 

For those Tenno who don’t tune into Devstreams, we are actively reviewing the divide between Melee and Primary weapons in terms of power and lethality. A lot of Tenno have made cases that ‘Primary weapons just can’t compete with Melee’, and we agree. We are planning on doing a full detailed review of this and giving players a detailed workshop on what’s on our minds. That will come in the next few weeks.

However, we have one single change in this Update to Melee. The majority of all guaranteed enemy staggers on Melee hits have been removed. A few remain in neutral, forward block and neutral block combos. What this change does in practice is effectively removes the infinite Crowd Control melee attacking provided. The Crowd Control potential stacked with the scaling Damage potential was an area we could immediately change to give players a chance to try out this single tweak in the context of the current game.

This change is rather small in a practical sense, and after you’ve played missions with the change, please let us know what you think.

Other Melee Changes:

  • Reduced the forward movement of the Warfan Heavy Attack.
  • Reflection Mod changed from “Damage reflected during Channeled blocking” to:
    • +40% Chance to Stagger on Block
    • +10% Chance to Stun on Block
    • Increased from common to uncommon

SOUND FIDELITY REVISION & FIXES:

Ensmallening Part 3 brought the replacement of xWMA with OPUS and a new ADPCM encoder! As the days progressed we realized we had to revise the code for how some of the sample codec stuff was working. Included in this code revision are fixes for many issues we were seeing with how the first ADPCM codec was behaving, as well as fixes for a number of crashes that related to the new Opus codec we started using during the previous mainline.

In order to receive this revision, this Update will force a re-download of some audio files. All for the greater good!

DOJO QUALITY OF LIFE ADDITIONS, CHANGES & FIXES:

  • Brand new Open Space Dojo room, Starlight Market! A large Corpus market hall with a view of the stars!
  • 161 brand new Corpus themed Dojo Decorations! From Holo screens, to an Auctioneer’s platform, the Dojo is your Corpus oyster!
  • Clan Hall Ranking Order has been Removed. Build the Greater Hall, Grand Hall, and Grandest Hall in any order your Clan desires.
  • You can now preview Decorations. Room consoles give Architects the option to preview unfinished Decorations for 60 seconds.
  • We have reduced the red zone areas in the Dojo! Build near doors – or even right through them!
  • Research 6 backdrops in the Tenno Lab at the new Chromatic Research Console. Once Research is complete, you can change the Open Space backdrop from the room console!
    • Ceres Backdrop
    • Deimos Backdrop
    • Earth Backdrop
    • Saturn Backdrop
    • Venus Backdrop
    • Void Backdrop
  • Removed the Construct Solar Rail and Research Solar Rail consoles from the Orokin Lab. This also removes the Solar Rail pop-ups! Dragon Key research remains.
    • Years ago Solar Rails were retired in Update 16, but these consoles remained in the Orokin Lab. They are now also being officially retired as requested!
  • Completed Researched Dojo items will also be indicated as such with the ‘Researched’ icon in the backdrop.
  • Completed Research tracking for the Orokin Lab and Chem Lab now aligns with available recipes.
    • For example: The Ignis Wraith will now be hidden from Clan stats if the research is not complete, as per player feedback.
  • Dojo Research UI Pass:
    • Item prerequisites now appear in the hover popup.
      • The UI will also display if the prerequisite item has been researched yet or not.
    • Research now shows Research Requirements in the first on hover tab instead of Crafting Requirements until research has been completed.
      • Crafting Requirements appear in the second tab on unresearched items.
    • “Awaiting Funds” state now has its own icon so you can tell at a glance the difference between something being researched and something still requiring contributions.
    • “In Progress” state now shows updating time in hover popup.
    • Newly researched items show as “New” for 2 weeks in the hover popup.
  • Fixed seeing Note Beacon and Tributa Statue “text” through walls when placed in the Dojo.
  • Fixed Natural Vallis Land Mushroom Wide and Tall Dojo Decoration not having any collision.
  • Fixed inability to shrink the Infested Structural Arm Dojo Decoration after resizing it too large.

UI ADDITIONS & CHANGES:

  • Spice up your HUD with your very own HUD Customization options! Choose numerous HUD elements to recolor from your Color Palettes. You can also choose from a collection of presets that range from Color Blind friendly choices to Warframe-themed presets.
  • The World State Window has received a visual and functionality refresh!
    • Events Tab: Featured Events, such as Star Days, GOTL, Plague Star etc, are more informative at a glance and their respective imagery is
    • Hover Functionality: 
      • Invasions and Sorties now have hover states to reduce UI noise.
    • Steel Path Incursions will now appear in their own tab in the World State Window when swapping to Steel Path missions in Navigation.
    • Nightmare Alerts will now appear in the ‘Alerts’ tab in the World State Window.

CONSERVATION ADDITIONS, CHANGES & FIXES: 

  • When animals ambiently spawn nearby (outside of active Trail encounters) you’ll now hear an audio call cue coming from where they spawn, similar to the call you hear when using a Lure. This will help you to roughly know the “when, what, and which direction” when they appear as you wander around the Cambion Drift or Plains of Eidolon.
  • Reduced the minimum range ambient encounters can occur to 25-35 meters from 50 meters to allow animals to spawn closer to your location.
  • Added new ambient Mergoo encounters to the Plains of Eidolon! You can now find them out in the wild flying around or perched on the ground.
  • Added two idle animations for the Mergoo when Captured.
  • Fixed Companions targeting Condrocs, Kuakas & Mergoo in the Plains of Eidolon, thus eliminating any chances for Conservation.

CONTROLLER CHANGES & FIXES:

  • Added controller rumble to a few melee sounds, Tenno heavy landings, bullet jumps, and more!
  • Fixed Lavos’ elemental imbue UI prompting “1 2 3 4” by default instead of controller bindings. Also adjusted the UI so that the imbue and button callouts are more easily readable.
  • Fixed controllers not being able to toggle certain abilities off (like Wukong’s Cloud Walker and Lavos’ Vial Rush) without reactivating the ability menu.
  • Fixed ‘ascend/descend’ appearing as double-bound in Customize Controller > Placement options. They will now show their unique assignments.
  • Fixed custom config names not saving if your virtual cursor is not hovering over the config slot while using a controller.
  • Fixed ‘Failed to Create Session’ popup appearing twice when disconnecting controller cord and attempting to start a mission.
  • Fixed a crash while accessing Arsenal with a controller.
  • Fixed a non-functional button prompt appearing while trading and using a controller.

Optimizations:

  • Optimized many micro-stutters that would occur when using DirectX 12 (more improvements are in the works).

General Additions:

  • Added a ‘Self Shawzin Volume’ slider in the Audio options.
  • Added a grid backdrop to offerings at the vendors in Cetus, Fortuna, and Necralisk to differentiate if their requirements are met.
  • Added a slider for Horizon Depth of Field in Captura.
  • Added ‘Autofocus Textfields’ in Options > Interface. You can now choose ‘All’, ‘Exclude End of Match’, and ‘None’.
  • Added VRAM display to in-game FPS panel.
  • Added a Razorwing Stance to the Diwata/Diwata Prime. The Melee Combo ‘Faerie’s Waltz’ is then displayed in the Melee Combo screen while in Razorwing.
    • This also fixes missing FX trails for Diwata/Diwata Prime. 

General Changes:

  • Tweaked “An updated version of Warframe is now available! Please return to your Dry Dock or a Relay, then exit and run the launcher.” to indicate you can dock at most Relays now.
  • Made enemy flow improvements to the Corpus Ship Remastered Defense mission. Enemies will spawn and navigate closer to the Defense Objective for less waiting!
  • Made the following changes to decrease the difficulty of the final fight in the Deadlock Protocol Quest:
    • Max number of 2 Errant Specters alive at a time.
    • Increased the amount of time before Errant Specters find an Errant enemy to buff.
    • Errant enemies can only be buffed to a max level 20.
    • Added more helpful tips to the Xoris hint: “Hold then release [Button] to throw the Xoris and capture Specter Particles”.
    • Lowered the Protea Specter’s Blaze Artillery turret damage.
    • Increased the Protea Specter’s Shield recharge delay.
    • Reduced the Protea Specter’s Health and Shields.
    • Added hint when Protea Specter is vulnerable to the charge Xoris: “Detonate the Xoris while Protea rewinds!”
    • Changed the Protea Specter’s Temporal Anchor to trigger at a consistent time to make her easier to hit within the window.
  • Changed the Asterite feeding bundle for Helminth from 1500 to 300.
    • Player feedback and comparing the amount to other Asterite uses we concluded the original amount of 1500 was far too high!
  • Plexus is now rewarded when completing The Archwing Quest.
  • As mentioned above in the Corpus Railjack section, with the permanent addition of Valkyr Prime + her accompanying Prime weapon Relics, and Nyx Prime + her accompanying Prime weapon Relics to Corpus Railjack missions, we must adjust some of the Ducat selling prices as their Rarities have changed:
    • Valkyr Prime Chassis: from 100 to 65 Ducats
    • Valkyr Prime Systems: from 100 to 65 Ducats
    • Scindo Prime Handle: from 45 to 25 Ducats
    • Cernos Prime String: from 45 to 25 Ducats
  • Critical Delay and Creeping Bullseye have been given a buff to their Critical Chance from +48% to +187%.
    • These new Mods have a greater effect if Fire Rate is below 2.5, and this buff brings a synergy between these Mods. As a result, Critical Delay and Creeping Bullseye can no longer be equipped with Point Strike and Pistol Gambit respectively.
  • Increased the max set bonus (all 3 Mods) for Umbral Intensify from 50% to 75% to match the other Umbra Mods.
  • You can now properly waypoint floating Scintillant in Isolation Vault missions. When you waypoint a Scintillant it will mark it as such instead of creating a default waypoint on the wall through/beyond it.
  • Lures and Pheromones now have consistent placement in the Conservation Gear wheel and are both ordered according to the related Conservation animal. Additionally, if you do not own a Pheromone, it will still appear in the wheel but will simply not be usable.
  • Reduced Odonata (Archwing Quest) Component Crafting times. The time barrier to craft the Odonata for new players felt excessive, as the Archwing Quest is an early step in overall progression and of course crucial for Railjack.
    • Odonata Components: Reduced to 1 minute each from 30 minutes each.
    • Odonata Archwing: Reduced from 1 hour to 10 minutes.
  • Xaku Specters can now cast all four of their Abilities!
  • Numerous AI navigation and spawn points improvements have been made in the Corpus Ship, Grineer Forest, Plains of Eidolon, and Orokin Derelict tilesets.
  • Updated Initiation and Rank 1 Principled Resource requirements for Arbiters of Hexis Syndicate to use more new-player friendly Resources. Alloy Plate and Gallium are now required instead of Nano Spores and Neural Sensors.
  • Updated various weapon and Noggle bundle in-game Market icons to fit updated UI dimensions.
  • Removed the ability to sell the Mutalist Alad V Assassinate Blueprint from the Patient Zero Quest.
    • This prevents players from potentially locking themselves out from getting Mesa components. 
  • Typing ‘None’ in the search bar in the Arsenal for weapons will now return the ‘None’ selection to be able to unequip an item.
  • Turned down overly loud wind loops in the Plains of Eidolon caves.
  • Improved objective markers in the Cambion Drift caves.
  • Improved AI navigation/pathing within the Plains of Eidolon caves and tunnels.
  • Removed Kuva Tonkor’s arming distance from projectiles.
  • The News console will now be hidden until the player has completed the Vor’s Prize quest.
  • Updated the look of the left panel in the Syndicate offerings window.
  • Made objective marker functionality improvements and fixes in the Orb Vallis.
  • Polished and updated Nora Night, Natah, Darvo, and Alad V’s lip syncing animation.
  • Improved enemy minimap markers in larger tilesets (Grineer Sea Lab for example). They should now be more accurate when tracking down enemies as they move across the tile.
  • Son will now properly chastise you for killing Velocipods like he already does with all the other animals.
  • Discounted items in the in-game Market (either from sale or coupon) now have a strike-through on the regular price with the newly reduced price next to it.
  • Added detailed Melee stats to your Necramech Upgrade screen. Now you can see the full scope of your Necramech’s Melee prowess when Modding it!
  • Hildryn will no longer gain Shield strength from features that give Energy-per-second regeneration. She will still convert Energy pickups into extra Shield strength. This fixes an unintended mechanic where things like Energy Siphon would make her completely invulnerable during combat.
