[2019] PS4 The Jovian Concord: Update 25.0.8 Status (In Development!)

6/6/19 Status Update:

Greetings, Tenno!

The Jovian Concord: Update 25.0.8 is now in Cert! Something gassy this way comes....

The Jovian Concord: Update 25.0.8 is aimed to be submitted to Cert this week! 

Something sinister is stirring in the Gas City… Once we have sent to cert we will update this thread!

We’ve included everything from PC Hotfix 24.8.2 to 25.0.8, which includes the mammoth mainline Update 25 and the hotfixes that followed to fix and polish the Ropalolyst fight, New Disruption Game mode, and more! Altogether, the download size for this update will be roughly ~ 7 GB. 

We have found a method that reduces the total download size of Warframe on PS4 from 48 GB to 34 GB! To clarify, this is not a remaster update. If you already have Warframe downloaded on your PS4, you will only download the update once The Jovian Concord is live. Business as usual! However, if you wish to take advantage of the size reduction, you can re-download Warframe at your own discretion. 

Let’s get into what you can expect in The Jovian Concord: Update 25.0.8!
 

JUPITER GAS CITY REMASTERED

Put your parkour skills to the test in the the vast and viscous aura of the Remastered Jupiter Gas City tileset, featuring completely remastered graphics, tilesets and audio design in each tile.

NEW RESOURCE:

Hexenon - A reagent commonly used to produce highly combustible fuel.

Acquire this new Resource throughout the reworked Jupiter Gas City for crafting related items such as Wisp, Komorex, and more.
 

NEW ENEMY TYPE: AMALGAMS

Deep within the walls of the Gas City, the Corpus are making full use of Sentient technology. You’ll stand toe-to-toe against the Amalgams -- nightmarish Corpus and Sentient hybrid beings. Is this a partnership or a parasitic conjuration?
 

NEW GAME MODE: DISRUPTION

Soon you’ll be able to travel to Ganymede, Jupiter to survive the all-new endless Disruption mode. Collect keys from fallen Amalgams to activate corresponding conduits, then protect the conduits from the Demolysts that will seek to destroy them. Each conduit will trigger a random player boon, environmental hazard or enemy buff. Test your strength against the Amalgams to earn new Weapons and new Mods. 

Prepare for Disruption before the Update: The Node itself can only be played if you've completed the Natah Quest.

Expand the spoilers below to see the notable changes made to Disruption from Hotfixes 25.0.2 - 25.0.4 + 25.0.8: 

Spoiler

• Doubled the amount of Hexenon reward drop from Disruption.
• Disruption Conduit Nullifier bubbles now grow over 6 seconds when they spawn, instead of immediately spawning in at full size when the Conduit is activated.
• Increased Amalgam spawn rate! This will be more noticeable the more players you have in the squad.
• Increased initial range of the attack marker from 25m to 30m.
• The attack marker increases in range from 30m to 100m when the Demolyst is looked at by a nearby player, so that squadmates can see it without it being manually marked.
• Boosted Drop Chance of Hexenon from Amalgams to ~7.7%, and increased Hexanon rewards from the Disruption gamemode by 25%.

OPERATION: HOSTILE MERGERS

As we've done in the past, this new Game Mode will be debuted in an Operation! More information on Operation: HOSTILE MERGERS will be posted once it is live on PS4. The Operation will start within the hours following the launch of the update. 

 

NEW BOSS FIGHT: ROPALOLYST

Prepare for a bossfight that combines the strategies of the Teralyst, the hero moments of the Exploiter Orb, and Warframe's awesome Parkour into one showdown.

Prepare for the Ropalolyst before the Update: The Ropalolyst boss fight can be found on its own Assassination Node on Jupiter once you have completed the Chimera Prologue. Completion of the Ganymede Node will allow you to progress.
 

NEW WARFRAME: WISP

Expand the spoilers below to see the notable changes made to Wisp from Hotfix 25.0.4: 

Spoiler

• Wisp Sol Gate changes:    
  • Increased base Damage from 1000 to 1500.    
  • Increased Ability cast to be 30% faster.    
• Wisp will now apply the stronger Reservoir value if another Wisp casts the same Reservoir but stronger (with the corresponding Duration).    

NEW TENNOGEN BUNDLE

As promised, a bundle of Round 14 items are coming to PS4 in The Jovian Concord! 

TENNOGEN BUNDLE XXXVII

• Chroma Morkai Skin by lukinu_u
• Sword Tengushen Skin by BeastBuster
• Rapier Ferita Skin by Hitsu San and Reil
• Styx Syandana by Malayu, Scharkie, and Jadie
• Tenui Syandana by led2012 and Justified114

As a reminder from our previous status update, our goal with TennoGen has not changed: We want to have transfers of the same items launch across PS4, XB1, and Nintendo Switch. Delays aren’t something we’re happy with, and efforts are being made to prevent the kind of delay we saw with Round 14 from happening again.

For Round 16, and onward, we are intending to transfer a curated list of items from each round. We’ll be transferring additional items from them in the future as well, like what we’re doing with Round 14, but we can’t make any promises at this time on pacing.

We'll share more news on future transfers when we have more details!

NEW REINFORCEMENTS

• FULMIN - Strike with silent lightning or the pummeling drum of thunder with Wisp’s signature Primary Weapon. Alternate between stealthy short-range electrical discharge and automatic lightning gun. Faster mode-switch when used by Wisp.  
• WISP GAOTH HELMET - A flowing alternate helmet for Wisp.
• SIROCCO KAVAT ARMOR - Fluid and aerodynamic, the signature Kavat armor of Wisp.
• KOMOREX-
  
  Corpus ingenuity leveraging Tau-tech to create a high-capacity bi-modal sniper weapon of terrifying capability. Zoom in to reduce recoil and add Punch Through. Zoom again to fire a bursting viral round, but with a lower rate of fire. Komorex features built-in ammo conversion.
• CYANEX
  
  - Sentient tech merges with Corpus design to deliver this lethal sidearm. Fully automatic, it fires ricocheting, homing projectiles that release small clouds of Gas on impact. Alt-fire to release the entire clip without homing as a single burst.
• NYX PASITHEA COLLECTION - Take control with this decadent collection of deluxe Nyx gear. Featuring the Nyx Pasithea Skin, Enthra Syandana, and the Hecaton Shotgun Skin.
  

 

NEW MODS AND MOD SETS

Give your Warframe, Weapons and more a boost with new Mods and Mod Sets. A Set Bonus is applied if equipped with Mods from the same set. These Mods are available as potential rewards from killing Amalgams and completing new content in the remastered Gas City. (All stats shown are at Max Rank and are subject to change.)

These Amalgam Mods are dropped by the new ROPALOLYST.
