Scoring Calculation Issues:
Earlier today / we released a revised scoring post with the following details:
Ground Assault missions started at 8 Points per Kill Code, reaching a possible 4104 points by Round 17!
After: Murex Raids now start at 12 Points per Kill Code, reaching a possible 3888 by Murex 5!
Ground Assault missions started at 8 Points per Kill Code, reaching a possible 4104 points by Round 17!
After: Murex Raids now start at 12 Points per Kill Code, reaching a possible 3888 by Murex 5!
However, players are receiving a 2820 and 3672 for Space and Ground respectively. While this is still an increase from before, it is not the amount we announced.
The correct numbers in the next Hotfix will be:
After: Ground Assault missions will reach a possible 4131 points by Round 17!
After: Murex Raids missions will reach a possible 3960 by Murex 5!
The correct numbers in the next Hotfix will be:
After: Ground Assault missions will reach a possible 4131 points by Round 17!
After: Murex Raids missions will reach a possible 3960 by Murex 5!
We sincerely apologize for another day of unintended scoring results, and this will be fixed next Hotfix. We know this has been confusing and we regret that we’ve caused so many misunderstandings due to calculation errors.
Third: Rare and Legendary Arcanes have been added to Little Duck’s Scarlet Spear Trade!
We have added the Rare and Legendary Arcanes to Little Duck’s Trade for 2000 Credits Per Rare and 4000 Credits Per Legendary.
Scarlet Spear Fixes:
- Fixed players not getting into the ‘Busy’ Flotillas that they selected.
- The scenario here occurred when selecting a ‘Busy’ Flotilla due to the Flotilla filling up very quickly with players. The fix here is to allow for extra room in the Flotilla if you attempted to join when there was still room available. You may now see Flotillas with more than 50 people from this change.
- Fixed Clients not joining Scarlet Spear Flotilla Chat if they join the squad while the Host is transitioning to either Murex Raid or Ground Assault.
- Fixes towards becoming stuck on infinite loading if either a Murex Raid or Ground Assault mission started before the Clients finished loading into Flotilla.
- Fixed the OpLink denied sound playing for Host when it is denied for Client.
Healing AOE Review
We made a hasty change in Hotfix 27.3.6 that removed Venari’s Heal aura from affecting Oplinks AND Defense Targets. Firstly, the terminology of calling Venari’s Defense Target healing a ‘fix’ was incorrect, so apologies there on my behalf. It’s correct to say it was a feature for Venari, considering it had its own Tip for it! The change stemmed from our desire to resolve Operation exploits as quickly as possible, and we didn’t communicate this properly.
We’re doing a deeper review on abilities that heal Defense Targets that we can speak to in the coming days.
Apologies as well for the late reply on this topic. We’ll update everyone when we’ve dug deeper and have an action plan.
General Changes:
General Changes:
- Limbo’s Stasis duration now has diminishing returns on Sentients and Amalgams when the power is used repeatedly. This choice was made for 2 main reasons:
- 1) Limbo’s Stasis usage makes the gameplay of the Scarlet Spear far too trivial.
- 2) Sentients by design have Adaptation – and the diminishing returns on recasting adheres to the adaptive nature of the enemy.
- This is not intended to change the way Stasis interacts with other enemy factions.
- Removed Titania’s Exalted weapons appearing in the Codex Weapon section, as Exalted Weapons do not show here.
Optimizations:
- The Pox, Acceltra, and Shedu have been given explosion FX tweaks for visual and performance improvement.
- Optimized the Attica’s embedded projectiles to help CPU and GPU performance.
- Optimized the Hystrix projectile trail and spark FX.
- Removed the replication of the Basmu reload Health FX so that only the user will see the FX to aid in performance.
- Performance improvements towards Grineer Crewships when their engines explode.
Railjack Fixes:
- Fixed Sentient Exterminate objective randomly starting on POI hints.
- Fixed Vidar Reactors Mk III missing their component modifiers for Warframe clients that are not in English.

- Fixed inability to Polarize the Dark Split-Sword with Stance Forma or Umbra Forma.
- Fixed the Corinth Prime missing its pump action animation.
- Fixed some players appearing to be eligible for a Mastery Rank Test but upon selecting it would be rejected.

- Fixed inability to Chat link Shedu and its parts.
