Hi Tenno,

The deadline for TennoGen Round 16 is here: April 15th at 12pm EDT!

We’ll be considering all items updated or submitted since the last round deadline, January 7th. With this round announcement, we’re giving you a little sneak peek of something else we’ve had in the works -- a refresh of our existing TennoGen guides, which can be found here.

While we were updating the guides to round out the information found within them to meet current program needs, we also whipped up some pre-submission checklists for each creation type. What better time than now to share them:

Best of luck, everyone!

Who: Rebecca is joined by the usual crew!

What: It is time to learn more about Wisp and her powers! What will our 40th Warframe bring to the Origin System? Tune in to find out and more!

Prizes? Why yes, we will be giving away 3 x 1000 Platinum Prizes during the Livestream as well as an Equinox Prime Access Pack!

Where: Find us at: twitch.tv/Warframe

Twitch Drop: No Twitch Drop this week as we work on some maintenance!

When: Join us this today, April 5th at 2 p.m. EDT!

See you there, Tenno!

The Plains of Eidolon has received a visual overhaul!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfqrUJfCEf0&feature=youtu.be

We’ve added a suite of improvements, including updated terrain textures, dynamic lighting, richly detailed trees and foliage, as well as a more nuanced day/night cycle. Plus, with all the technical improvements, the Plains runs smoother than ever!


You can now track and trap animals in the Plains! Master Teasonai will be your source for Echo-Lures as you work to get these animals to safety. Echo-Lures are not required as these animals continually roam the Plains, but calling them will bring them running (or flying!). A Conservation Badge and new Floofs from Master Teasonai await your efforts.



MERGOO
An avian of ridiculous appearance found along coastal regions and by large bodies of water. Mergoo circle and squawk at the sight of marine predators. Many an Ostron fisher owes their life to these odd little birds. Killing one is considered very bad luck.

New Kuaka and Condroc variants can also be found throughout the vast Plains of Eidolon!




Reports of a new Grineer machine have spread to Cetus. Vay Hek has deployed Tusk Thumpers -- mobile defense platforms that are just as efficient as they are deadly. Be prepared to encounter three menacing Thumpers of increasing size and difficulty: the Tusk Thumper, the Tusk Thumper Bull, and the Tusk Thumper Doma.

Without a vulnerability to use to your advantage, you’ll need to identify and expose their weak spots to take them down as quickly as possible. Take too long, and they’ll release reinforcement drones.



When you're done with this roaming threat, make sure to pay a visit to Nakak! Trade in Resources to get a new Tusk Thumper Floof - there's one for each type of Thumper for you to collect!




Expand your personal armory with the newest Grineer Sparring Weapon.

KORRUDO
Powerful pneumatic grips and toecaps amplify every blow. Four ways to deal twice the pain.

Embrace the balance of duality with Equinox Prime. This harmonious warrior comes with the Stradavar Prime rifle, the Tipedo Prime staff and more!

• Equinox Prime: Night and Day in final balance.
  
• Equinox Prime Glyphs: Display your Equinox Prime loyalty.
  
• Stradavar Prime: Never fail to call down a devastating finale.
  
• Tipedo Prime: Sever your foes with this lithe and lethal staff.

• Isabeau Prime Syandana
  
• Narvarr Prime Armor
  
• 90-Day Credit Booster
  
• 90-Day Affinity Booster

Equinox Prime, Stradavar Prime and Tipedo Prime Blueprints can also be earned in-game through Relics!

AVAILABLE NOW!

783 billion enemies killed. Nearly 50 million registered Tenno. 1.8 million Floofs earned.

Good work, Tenno. You’ve unearthed the secret lurking below known as Deck 12. But be wary, The Exploiter Orb Mother and a host of skittering Raknoids have made the platform and the surrounding area their home. It will take strength, fortitude and teamwork to destroy The Exploiter and avenge the fallen Solaris. Are you up to the challenge?



Deck 12 is unlocked - if you know where to look. Work with Solaris United to take down The Exploiter while Operation: Buried Debts is still active. Every Diluted Thermia resource will allow you an encounter with The Exploiter, so harvest, stockpile and share them! You’ll only be able to take part in this event for a limited time, so be sure to take on The Exploiter or you’ll have to wait until Thermia Fractures re-appear in the Orb Vallis.

The Exploiter has the ability to summon a powerful blizzard around itself, whipping up winds that can freeze you solid if you’re not careful. You must find a way to weaken the Orb Mother’s chilling abilities, pick apart its defenses, and ultimately settle the score.

Defeating The Exploiter gives you a chance to earn:
• Hildryn Chassis Blueprint
• Hildryn Neuroptics Blueprint
• Hildryn Systems Blueprint
• Lazulite Toroid: A rare resource that is prized by Vox Solaris, trade it in for Standing!
• Exploiter Orb Articula: Add a miniature Exploiter Orb Mother decoration to your Orbiter.
• Shocking Step Ephemera Blueprint: Craft this Ephemera to add a striking effect to your footsteps

Deep in the bitter heart of the Orb Vallis lies a hidden mystery.

Band together to complete the first community event of 2019 and work to bring a secret to light in Operation: Buried Debts. Take control of Hildryn and her devastating Abilities as you unearth clues with your fellow Tenno and strike down enemies with the revamped Melee system. Act quickly, time is short.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQn9X8LvGS0

Thermia fractures are cracking open the surface of Venus, a consequence of Nef Anyo’s unrelenting greed. He’s willing to do whatever it takes for a quick profit, including putting the whole Orb Vallis at risk. Over the next several weeks, work alongside the community and Solaris United to locate, uncover, and solve a multi-part Operation and the mystery lurking below the surface.

You’ll earn unique items throughout the Operation like an Emblem and Sigil, Amalgam Mods, and the Opticor Vandal, but you’ll need to take down a tremendous foe to unlock your final reward. The Orb Vallis has everything you need to begin.

The best defense is a good offense. Hildryn draws from her Shields to fuel her Abilities, while Energy works to recharge them. Take to the skies and rain down destruction with Hildryn, the newest Warframe.



BALEFIRE
Charge and launch devastating bolts of fire.

SHIELD PILLAGE
Pillage a percentage of Shields and Armor of nearby enemies to replenish Hildryn’s own Shields and Overshields.

HAVEN
Create a Shield aura around allies. Enemies that approach Shielded allies will take damage.

AEGIS STORM
Take to the skies and rain Balefire rockets down on the enemy. Nearby enemies are blasted into the air where they will create an Energy Orb every few seconds. When Energy runs out the enemies are smashed into the ground.

A new spark of action has arrived with Phase 1 of the much-anticipated Melee revamp! With these changes, you’ll experience more fluid combat, and a smoother, faster, bolder system to harness as you slash your way through the Origin System. This first phase includes:



UNINTERRUPTED COMBAT
Immediately engage in all things Melee, without needing to lock yourself into Melee mode. This means seamless combat and combos -- no more interruptions between firearm and Melee!

COMBO RESUME
When interrupting a combo with gunfire, dodging, bullet jumping, or any parkour your next Melee attack will begin exactly where the combo left off!

AIMED GROUND SLAMS
Have more control of your Ground Slams. Use your aerial advantage to aim, and then target your Ground Slam for increased tactical precision.

VISUAL FX REDONE
Experience a beautifully redone FX pass with a refreshed style.

KEYBINDING CHANGES
Blocking is now automatic and is no longer keybound! The 'F' button exclusively swaps between Primary and Secondary weapons with a tap. Your mouse is now all gunplay; the left is gunfire, and the right is aim. Worry not Tenno, if you used your mouse to melee attack, there's a toggle option for you.

These changes are just the beginning as we iterate and improve on our Melee system. You can find everything you need to know about Melee: Phase 1 in our Dev Workshop.

Introducing a new way to customize your Warframe: Ephemera! These effects can only be earned and crafted by the brave through a variety of ways including Arbitrations, the Stalker, and Elite Sanctuary Onslaughts. Once crafted, they'll appear in your Arsenal under ‘Attachments’!



Expand your personal armory with these new Weapons and Customizations:

LARKSPUR
From death blooms the Larkspur. A unique and menacing Arch-gun with a wild initial attack that locks onto a target then chains other targets close to the first. It also sports an explosive projectile mode. In Hildryn's grip the Larkspur carries more reserve ammo.

SURATOR SYANDANA
A Syandana with kick, as robust as Hildryn herself.

HILDRYN ASURON HELMET
The battle-visage of a formidable warrior. Inscrutable as a monolith, implacable as a hammer-blow.



K-DRIVE MODULAR PARTS
The Vent Kids have been hard at work, Glinty! They’ve scavenged some new modular K-Drive parts to customize your ride with. Since a recent {LINK REMOVED}Hotfix, we’ve increased the Standing you earn from competing in K-Drive Races -- so you can unlock these parts even faster.



LIMBO LIMINA SKIN
War-garb for the liminal; a new form for the in-between.

TAROCK THROWN BLADE SKIN
New rule: with this one-of-a-kind the house always loses.

SIDEREAL SYANDANA
A Syandana that dances upon the eddies of battle and void-currents alike.

INTERGA SUGATRA
This Sugatra has been seen adorning the weapons of myths and monsters alike, its provenance unknown.



TATSU
Fearsome and noble, the elegant two-handed nikana is the pride of any arsenal.



CURLY OPERATOR HAIRSTYLES
Three new curly-haired Operator Hairstyles are now available! Choose from a bun, braid, or ponytail. In addition, a fix has been applied to Operator hair to show less scalp.



QUARO SYANDANA
Extol the virtues of Profit with this Corpus-styled Syandana.

• Solaris Mining Laser Upgrades: Upgrade your Solaris Mining Laser for increased Range to mine from afar or upgrade for silence if you want to take the sneakier approach.
  
• Individual Extraction: You can now extract individually from Survival, Excavation and Defection Missions. This means that if one player decides to leave at 10 minutes, the rest of the squad can soldier on!
  
• Weapon Swapping: Weapon Swapping is more responsive than ever! Client-side weapon swapping means that you should experience less lag when switching between weapons.
  
• Collect Bounties in the Plains of Eidolon: Tents have been placed throughout the Plains containing a console that allows you to contact Konzu himself and acquire new Bounties!
