With Warframe’s largest-ever expansion looming, Digital Extremes are helping players prepare by launching a new, free-to-play quest line which unvaults some of the rarest Prime Warfares, weapons and other gear as you get ready for The New War.
Warframe — Prime Resurgence
Prime Resurgence is a weekly unvaulting program in which Digital Extremes will be giving players access to different classic Warframes and other gear every week. The first rotation will launch on November 16th, but you’ll need to keep checking back to ensure you get yourself as geared up as possible before The New War descends.
In order to gather the weekly Warframe bundles, you’ll need a resource called Ara. There are two ways to earn Ara during the Resurgence, either by collecting it in-game, or by purchasing Royal Ara for instant access to Prime bundles.
To collect Ara in game, you’ll need to head to the usual locations where you would expect to find Void Relics. Once you’ve collected enough, take your Ara to Varzia in Maroo’s Bazaar on Mars and trade it for Void Relics. These Void Relics will, in turn, allow you to reconstruct the Prime weaponry you desire.
