Warframe – Deimos: Arcana: 29.5.9 Patch Notes | Unbelievable Changes Unveiled!

Deimos: Arcana: Hotfix 29.5.9

Banshee & Mirage Prime Vault

Deafen your foes and dazzle your allies with the newest Prime Vault release. As promised, the Vault opens with Prime items that are brand new to the rotation. Banshee Prime and Mirage Prime return alongside their Prime Weapons and exclusive Customizations for a limited time. Frost Prime Packs, Ember Prime Packs, and their Relics have returned to the Vault. Banshee Prime, Mirage Prime, Euphona Prime, Kogake Prime, Akbolto Prime, Helios Prime, and Deconstructor Prime Relics have been added to the drop tables!

Isolation & Arcana Bounty Flow Changes 

Isolation Vault Flow Changes:

We have 4 main pillars of Isolation Vault flow changes. Not only do these changes significantly loosen the required routine, but they also aim to further improve the process for less new player confusion.

1. You will now only ever need to complete a specific Tier of Isolation Bounty once to unlock the next Tier.
   1. For example: Complete the Tier 1 Isolation Vault near Necralisk Gates. You can then leave Deimos or even log off, and the next time you return to Cambion Drift you can go immediately to the Tier 2 Isolation Vault Bounty location and run that Bounty. No need to run the Tier 1 bounty again if you don’t want to.
2. Once the Isolation Vault Tier is completed, you can run the Arcana Bounty at that same Tier.
   1. Similar to the new Isolation Vault flow above, you can leave the session and upon returning to Cambion Drift you can go straight into the Arcana Bounty without first completing the Isolation Vault at that location.
3. Each Isolation Vault Bounty Tier now has a specific Mother location in Cambion Drift to provide a concrete flow with less confusion.
   1. Tier 1 = Mother located in ‘UNDULATUM’
   2. Tier 2 = Mother located between ‘ALBRECHT'S PROSPECT’ and ‘CATABOLIC GUTTER’
   3. Tier 3 = Mother located in ‘THE ABSCESS’

1. All 3 Tiers of Isolation Vault Bounties are now available from Mother within the Necralisk.

Isolation Vault / Arcana Bounty Droptable Changes:

Now that the Arcana Bounties will be more easily accessible, it’s time to rebalance the drop tables:

1. Both Isolation Vault Bounties and Arcana Bounties now share a droptable. There are 3 different droptables for each Isolation/Arcana Bounty Tier that rotates every ~3 hours, allowing you to selectively choose the reward you seek and when - exactly how other Open World Bounties work. 
   1. This rotation follows the same window as the Bounty rotation in the Necralisk.
2. Rewards within the Isolation Vault/Arcana Bounties have been rebalanced to provide a better kick at the can for higher coveted rewards:

Droptable content breakdown:

• Orokin Matrixes
  • Less % chance overall.
• Relics
  • Midpoint % between the two old Bounty types.
• Necramech Weapon Parts
  • Now split up among the three droptables so you can target.
• Necramech Mods
  • Similar drop % chance, but split up to allow more targeted runs.
• Deimos Arcanes
  • Significantly higher drop % chance.
• Scintillant (T1)
  • Midpoint drop % chance between the two old Bounty types
• Weapon parts (T2 & T3)
  • Slightly reduced: You only ever need 1 of the Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprint. Getting all the way to the Arcana Bounties and receiving another Weapon Blueprint is not a feel good moment. Although this doesn’t completely eliminate getting duplicates, the drop % reduction does allow for better chances towards the other rewards.

No longer in the tables:

Both of these have been taken out to allow for better odds at getting newer/desired rewards.

• Rare Deimos Gems
• Endo

BONUS: Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprints are now tradable! 

To balance out the Weapon Blueprint drop % reduction we’ve made the Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprints tradable. The Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa parts were already Tradable, but it’s now one step further.

Optimizations:

• Made systemic micro-optimizations to shader memory on PC and XB1.
• Fixed a giant memory leak caused by disabling Multi-Threaded Rendering (Huge thanks to .Zexal for helping diagnose!)

Changes:

• Bonewidow Necramech’s can now be found patrolling or in its deactivated state in The Cambion Drift, similar to Voidrig Necramechs.

Fixes:

• Fixed rare DirectX 12 crash when exiting Warframe.
• Fixed rare DirectX 12 crash that could occur in a combat-heavy situation.
• Fixed loss of functionality if you used a controller to open up the Pause Menu while viewing Bounties and viewed a squad member's profile. You can no longer open the Pause Menu while viewing Bounties.
• Fixed Grineer Crewship explosion FX appearing blocky when destroyed in Railjack missions. This also fixes an unnecessary texture loading in.
• Fixed some animation issues where the Quanta Vandal’s arms wouldn’t fully open after reload. This also fixed related motion blur on reload.
• Fixed script error with the Quanta Vandal.
• Fixed script error with Excalibur’s Slash Dash.
