Kuva Lich and Sisters of Parvos weapons are some of the strongest weapons inWarframe, but withWarframe: 1999, a new class of weapon is being added: Infested weapons. These come to us by way of a new adversary system: the Technocyte Coda.
There’s a ton of content inWaframe: 1999, anda new Primeis on the way, but keep reading to learn what the Technocyte Coda are, how the system will work, and what Infested weaponry you can look forward to playing with whenWarframe: 1999releases later this year.
What are the Technocyte Coda in Warframe?
The Technocyte Coda areWarframe’slatest adversary system that are Infested versions of Kuva Liches or Sisters of Parvos.Technocyte Coda are based on On-lyne, a 1999-era boyband in theWarfarmeuniverse. On-lyne is made up ofZeke,Drillbit,Harddrive,DJ RoM, andPacket.
Instead of fighting Liches or Sisters, you’ll be chasing Technocyte Coda ‘band members’ across your star map. However, the Technocyte Coda adversary system doesn’t just have a new aesthetic and new weapons to unlock and upgrade, the system itself has some major upgrades.
How do Technocyte Coda work in Warframe?
Like always, you can’t be targeted by a Sister or Lich to chase after a Technocyte Coda. To find a Technocyte Coda, you’ll have todefeat Infested enemies inWarframe: 1999content, which have a chance to drop a unique item on death.
Then, you’ll bring the item to a nearby computer terminal, where you’ll complete a hacking puzzle. Once the puzzle is completed, the process will continue after you extract from your mission, much like how it works once you capture a Kuva Lich or Sister of Parvos.
Once extracted, you’ll be able to see your particular Technocyte Coda and any relevant customization in a splash screen, while your Technocyte Coda will rob you of certain resources at the end of missions until you defeat them, like a Sister of Parvos or Kuva Lich does.
You can face off with your Technocyte Coda inanyWarframe: 1999mission, and once you damage it enough, it’ll become vulnerable to a Parazon attack. However, you will need a new set of Antivirus Parazon mods to use when fighting Technocyte Coda.
Antivirus mods are acquired in a ‘specialized bounty mission’and are themed around 1999-era antivirus companies. After you damage your Technocyte Coda enough and figure out the correct order of Parazon Antivirus mods, you’ll finish off the process with a Railjack mission.
Like with Sisters or Liches, you can either vanquish a Technocyte Coda, or you can convert it for trading. The big change with this system comes down to how you acquire certain weapons. Unlike Liches and Sisters, Technocyte Coda aren’t attached to specific weapons.
How Technocyte Coda are different from Liches and Sisters in Warframe
Instead of being able to see an attached weapon before you start your Technocyte Coda process,vanquishing Technocyte Coda will award you with currencythat you can then spend on an Infested weapon of your choice at a vendor with a rotating selection of weapons.
It’s currently unclear how much currency vanquishing a Technocyte Coda will award you as well as what the prices of Infested weapons will be. Digital Extremes notes that the rotation will be similar to Ergo Glast’s Tenet Weapons, and that system works as follows:
If the new vendor works exactly like Ergo Glast, you can expect fully upgrading Infested weaponry to take a lot longer than it would with Kuva or Tenet weapons. However, Digital Extremes has saidthe Technocyte Coda Vendor will be “similar” to Ergo Glast, so there may be changes.
What Infested weapons will be available in Warframe: 1999?
WhenWarframe: 1999launches, 10 Infested weapons will be available. These are upgraded versions of pre-existingWarframeweaponry, though we don’t have their stats just yet:
Secondaries:
Melees:
Digital Extremes also promises that three all-new Infested weapons will be added, but we currently don’t have any details on what those weapons will be or how they’ll perform.
