GARUDA ABILITY CHANGES

The crimson maiden of death has been streamlined for more satisfying butchery! With a focus on adding more maneuverability and deadliness to the queen of gore, the following changes have been made:

DOJO ADDITIONS

Calling all Dojo crafters! We have added two new rooms and new Dojo Decorations inspired by the Grineer Kuva Fortress and Orokin Tower tilesets for you to let your creativity fly.
Additions:

  • Three ‘The New War’ Somachord Tones have been added to the post-New War Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis. Based on player feedback, we have made these Somachord Tones stationary, meaning they will always be in the same spot (different from the original Orb Vallis Somachord Tones) and require 1 scan each. They’ll remain in their spots after Scanned for helpful Tenno who waypoint them for others! Keep a lookout for the following Somachord Tones:
    • For Narmer
    • Hybrid Abominations
    • Sunkiller
  • Added two new Orbiter decorations! The ‘Operator Switch’ and the ‘Spotlight (Ostron)’ can be purchased in the in-game Market.

Changes:

  • Explosive Barrels will now knock down enemies; if they are within 0-2m they will be knocked down by the blast, at 2-6m they will suffer a heavy stagger, and at 6-10m they will suffer a light stagger and take 800 damage. For the Large Corpus Exploding Barrels, these values are 0-3m, 3-8m, and 8-12m with 1200 damage. If they die from the blast, they will ragdoll instead.
    • When Blast damage was reworked in Warframe Revised, enemies stopped getting knocked over by Explosive Barrels.
  • Updated Yareli’s Surging Blades Augment description for clarity:
    • Was: Press 3 to hurl a single Aquablade, which gains 10% damage per enemy hit by your Aquablades. No cost to throw while riding Merulina.
    • Now: Activate Aquablades while in use or during cooldown to hurl a single blade. Thrown blades gain 10% damage when any Aquablade hits an enemy. No cost to throw while riding Merulina.
  • Made several armor placement adjustments for the Grendel Nian skin.
  • Kuva will now always have its Item Label enabled in the in-game Market so that you can see how much you are buying if Kuva is included in a bundle.
  • Re-organized unnamed Inventory items (Operator hairstyles for example) to display at the bottom of the list, since they cannot be interacted with.
  • Updated the description of a set mod from the post-New War Bounties to from “Increase damage from Slam Attacks by +100%” to “100% Slam Attack Damage”.
  • Re-capitalized active Warframe, Pet, and Weapon names, meaning anything that you renamed in full CAPS would be restored.
  • Set maximum purchase quantity in the in-game Market to 9,999,999.
    • You will only ever see this limit if you have the requirements to purchase whatever you are buying 10 million times. You big spender you.

Optimizations:

  • Made extremely minor micro-optimizations to resource management.
  • Made systemic micro-optimizations to rendering on all platforms.
  • Fixed handling of a rare form of cache corruption.
  • Fixed a rare type of cache corruption where only certain files were deleted from the install.
  • Fixed a small memory leak that would occur when corrupt sound resources were detected.

The New War Fixes:

  • Fixed mismatching character suits between two core characters in ‘The Aftermath’ and later stages of the quest.
  • Fixed an issue where Sigils on a character in the quest were twice as big as they are post-quest.
  • Fixed a Ventkid in Fortuna still wearing a Veil post-New War.
  • Fixed Amp appearing in town hubs on a post-New War character.
  • Fixed being unable to change Sigils and Ephemeras in the Arsenal during the New War quest replay, leading to problems.
    • We have re-enabled this option, but Sigils and Ephemeras may be hidden in certain cinematics to avoid issues.
  • Fixed drone in ‘Fallen Drone’ Bounties spawning under terrain near Er-Phryah’s Vigil in the post-New War Plains of Eidolon.
  • Fixed a crash in The New War quest if you don’t own a Paracesis.
  • Fixed rolling in The New War Camp into the teleport consistently teleporting you back to where you came from, instead of sending you down to the lower compartment.
  • Fixed incorrect Operator Idle Stance animations after a certain quest stage in Cetus in The New War quest.

Fixes:

  • Fixed Requiem Ultimatums dropped from converted or vanquished Adversaries not being added to your inventory.
    • Also fixed there being no indicators for the Requiem Ultimatum drops in the in-mission UI or the end of mission screen.
    • We are looking into the possible options of rewarding those missing Requiem Ultimatums into inventories – we will share more information as we get closer to a solution whether in the form of script or otherwise.
  • Fixed damage bonus % provided by Condition Overload not being numerically consistent across Melee weapons.
    • Condition Overload was not accounting for Melee weapons that deal different amounts of damage with different swings via combos. We will continue to watch for any issues related to the above.
  • Fixed weapons with Multishot (especially innate multishot like on shotguns or beam weapons) having a higher damage increase from Galvanized Aptitude/Shot per Status type as intended.
    • Essentially, the total damage bonus was being added to each individual projectile, resulting in damage numbers far beyond the intended amount.
  • Fixed an issue where innate damage bonus of Kuva weapons did not apply to the bonus damage from Galvanized Aptitude.
  • Fixed the following issues with the Protovyre Armor Set:
    • Fixed completing the Protovyre Sentient killing challenge not awarding players with the evolved Protovyre Chest piece.
      • This was caused by exiting Railjack from the menu, which would fail to deliver Protovyre inbox message if challenge was completed.
      • For those affected, we will be running a script that will deliver the inbox message with the evolved Protovyre Chest piece. We will update this thread once we have started and finished the script.
    • Fixed Requiem Relics dropped from Thralls or Hounds not counting towards the Protovyre Syandana challenge progression.
  • Fixed being able to exceed the Mandachord’s allotted notes per section.
  • Fixed extremely rare case of the screen fading when in Railjack dorsal/ventral turrets.
  • Fixed chat linked Railjack mods dioramas having unnecessary description text next to the mod.
  • Fixed the Zato Facial Accessory not appearing when customizing the Operator.
  • Fixed misleading prompt when attempting to swap an Exilus slot’s polarity: “Exilus slot must be unlocked before assigning a polarity to it.”
  • Misleading due to the fact that you cannot swap an Exilus slot’s polarity. It will now correctly indicate this in the error prompt.
  • Fixed several text case issues originating from the capitalization changes from the Banshee & Mirage Prime Vault hotfix.
  • Fixed some mixed case text issues in the end of mission progression box.
  • Fixed ‘test’ suffix appearing at the end of some text in the World State Window.
  • Fixed the ‘g’ in ‘Strength’ getting cut off in the Arsenal stats UI.
  • Fixed remaining issues caused object looping behaviors Grineer Sealab tileset.
  • Fixed some ‘Limited Time’ items not appearing when searching ‘Limited Time’ in the in-game Market.
  • Fixed the ‘Limited Time’ icon background being too small causing UI clipping issues.
  • Fixed Wukong’s Celestial Stomp Augment clone not working for Clients.
  • Fixed the Narmer Banner (Long) Dojo Decoration resizing to a new default smaller size that couldn’t be scaled up.
  • Fixed a crash when loading into Plains of Eidolon and a squadmate leaves.

  • Pickup notifications in HUD will now be capitalized for things that do not have custom formatting applied, such as the messages used for who killed who in Conclave.
  • Fixed Spore Ephemera appearing like gray mush – restored it to its original nastiness we all know and love but also improved it.
  • Fixed the Sniper Ammo Mutation mod not mutating Rifle ammo at the described rate.
    • For example, at Rank 0 you should receive 1 Sniper ammo per Rifle pickup and it was giving 0.
  • Fixed Sister of Pavos Hounds becoming permanent allies (and blocking progression) if affected by abilities like Nyx’s Mind Control or Revenant’s Enthrall.
  • Fixed clipping issues with the Nidus Kuvael Scrounger helmet open/closed states.
  • Fixed Nidus Kuvael Scrounger helmet’s fleshy meat pieces not hiding properly in its closed non-mutated state.
  • Fixed Wyrmius turret projectiles firing from the wrong position.
  • Fixed more icons appearing stretched after the great icon “squarification” treatment:
    • Vallis Beast and Bird Emblem
    • Plains of Eidolon Conversation Emblem icon.
    • ‘Unidentified Item’ icon in the end of mission screen.
    • Resource icons on the ‘cancel build’ popup screen when canceling a building foundry item.
    • All Specter icons in the Codex.
  • Fixed more inconsistent use of capitalization throughout the game, notably in the following areas:
    • ‘Favorites’ colors section in the Arsenal.

  • Fixed Ordis’ glitch dialogue subtitles missing during the Jordas Precept quest.
