C̶̹̃h̴̊̍̐͜i̶͓̩͛̽m̸̨̈́͘e̴̤̒ŕ̸͉͋̕å̸̙̭͕ is coming…

Update 23.10.6 has been sent off to cert! This mainline update is jam packed with all kinds of hotness and featured goods from PC Update 23.9.0 to 23.10.6. From the new Arbitrations (previous WIP title of Lethal Alerts) to the Daily Tribute changes, QOL changes and fixes, and everything in between, Update 23.10.6 is a hefty ~2.5GB worth of the latest for Warframe.

What is a mainline update you ask? To quote [DE]Rebecca:

“It’s the type of update where we send out everything we’ve been working on that’s accumulated that isn’t related to a bigger picture feature.”

Our last mainline update for consoles was back in July with the release of The Sacrifice, so you can expect a good helping of notes once the update drops!

This thread will be updated with the release date once we have passed Cert. With all that said, let’s take a glimpse into what Chimera: Update 23.10.6 will bring:

ARBITRATIONS: LETHAL ALERTS

The Arbiters of Hexis are providing you with the chance to fight with something unknown to most Warframe missions: Mortality! Arbitrations are single-life missions that put you in a scenario where you have to make your only life count!

Prepare for the arrival of Lethal Alerts! Complete all nodes in the Star Chart now to unlock Arbitrations when the update goes live.

TENNOGEN BUNDLE XXXIII

This bundle features creations from past PC releases and will be available in the in-game Market when the update goes live!

Gear up with two new Weapons for new high-level Alerts!

The Chimera Update brings the new Arbitrations: Lethal Alert system, the new Daily Tribute 2.0, new Precepts and more.

ARBITRATIONS: LETHAL ALERTS

The Arbiters of Hexis have a new challenge for you, Tenno. Complete their Arbitrations, and they’ll reward you in kind.

After completing the Star Chart, you’ll unlock a new Mission Type called Arbitrations. Survive against Level 60+ enemies to earn new rewards and bigger payouts than normal Alerts. These Alerts rotate between endless Missions around the Star Chart every hour. But there’s a catch — you only get one life. No Revives. You die, and that’s it. These Alerts also add a few other wrinkles to the gameplay, but we’ll let you discover those on your own.

In addition to bigger reward payouts, completing these Alerts will also give you Vitus Essence, a Resource used to build new cosmetic items. Seek out the Arbiters in the Relay to learn more.

DAILY TRIBUTE REWARDS 2.0

We’ve updated our Daily Login System to give you more choice and more appropriate reward scaling as you delve deeper into the game.

Milestones
On major Milestone days (every 50 days between 0-1000), you’re now given up to three choices! For example, when you reach a Primed Mod Milestone, you’re given a choice between three different Primed Mods rather than the static, singular choice in the old system.

The Milestone categories are:

– Sigils and Resources: Days 50, 150, 250, etc.
– Primed Mods: Days 200, 400, 600, etc.
– Weapons: Days 100, 300, 500, etc.

The next time you reach a given Milestone category, you’ll see a new item appear in place of what you’ve already chosen (if applicable).

Daily Tribute Reward Scaling
Rewards on non-Milestone Days now scale based on the amount of days you’ve logged on. For example, on Day 1, you could get one Tellurium, but on Day 1000, you could get six Tellurium! This applies to Credits, Endo, Booster Durations, Resources, Syndicate Medallions, Relics and Forma Blueprints.

Evergreen
Starting at Day 1050, you’ll receive Evergreen Milestones with three rewards to choose from. These are rotated every 50 Days though the following options:

Evergreen Choices A (choose one):
– 3 x Forma
– 3 x Exilus Adapter
– 4 x Weapon Slots

Evergreen Choices B (choose one):
– 50,000 Kuva
– 30,000 Endo
– 7-Day Boosters (Affinity, Credits, Resource)

Evergreen Choices C (choose one):
– 3 x Rifle Riven
– 3 x Melee Riven
– 3 x Secondary Riven

DOJO UPDATES & DESIGN CONTEST

Tenno, we’re floored by your incredible Dojo works of art. To aid in your conquest of the Dojo artform, we’ve created a massive Sandbox Room for you to dream big! Think of this room as a blank canvas to work with. You could create a bustling Arcade, build an Ayatan dragon, craft a shrine to Rhino Prime — whatever you want to make, you can make it here! We’ve also added 41 new effects (like falling leaves, flies and sparks) and seven new structural decorations to help bring your artistic vision to life.

Speaking of artistic vision, we’re hosting a Dojo Decoration Contest! You could win an exclusive Trophy for your Clan, and even better, your Dojo could be featured on the Star Chart for everyone to visit! Visit the official contest thread for more details.
