Plains of Eidolon Remaster: Update 24.6.2 was sent to Cert! A brand spanking new Plains of Eidolon with bushes to boot is on its way along with Conservation in the Plains (Floof collectors rejoice!), and much more. We’ve included everything from PC Hotfix 24.5.2 to 24.6.2.1, which includes the big mama mainline Update 24.6.0, making the download size for this update roughly ~3 GB.
Once we have passed cert, we will share the good news and an official launch date with you here and on the usual Warframe channels.
Let’s get into what Plains of Eidolon Remaster: Update 24.6.2 will bring:
PLAINS OF EIDOLON REMASTER!
Soon the Plains of Eidolon will receive a suite of improvements, including updated terrain textures, dynamic lighting, richly detailed trees and foliage, as well as a more nuanced day/night cycle.
PLAINS CONSERVATION
Track and tranq is coming to the Plains! Master Teasonai will be your source for Echo-Lures and Rarity Boosters as you track down, capture and get these animals to safety. Echo-Lures are not required as these animals continually roam the Plains, but calling them will bring them running (or flying!). A new Conservation Badge and Floofs from Master Teasonai await your efforts.
MERGOO
An avian of ridiculous appearance found along coastal regions and by large bodies of water. Mergoo circle and squawk at the sight of marine predators. Many an Ostron fisher owes their life to these odd little birds. Killing one is considered very bad luck.
New Kuaka and Condroc variants will also be able to be found throughout the vast Plains of Eidolon!
NEW ENEMIES: TUSK THUMPERS
Vay Hek will soon be deploying Tusk Thumpers -- mobile defense platforms that are just as efficient as they are deadly. Be prepared to encounter three menacing Thumpers of increasing size and difficulty.
Tusk Thumper Floofs will also be available at Nakak by trading in Resources!
POE/CETUS ECONOMY REMASTER LITE:
With Fortuna's release, we applied some general economy changes based on takeaways from Cetus. Now that we have returned to Cetus and the Plains of Eidolon with a remaster, we are applying some 'Economy Remaster' changes to go with the changes in an effort to apply our continued learnings. Change is the name of the game - thank you for all feedback on our economies and for being receptive to change!
- Replaced Arcane Blueprints with Arcanes in Quills Offerings meaning that Arcanes no longer need to be built.
-
Replaced Arcane Blueprints with Arcanes in Hok's Offerings meaning that Arcanes no longer need to be built.
- Owned Magus, Exodia, and Virtuos Arcane Blueprints will be converted to full-crafted Arcanes.
- Replaced Bait Blueprints with Baits in Fisher Hai-Luk’s Offerings. This means Baits no longer need to be crafted using other fish parts and can now just be bought outright for Standing.
- Reusable Fish Bait Blueprints can now be sold for 100,000 Credits. Relics of a different time for some, easy Credits for others.
- Added sell price to Fish Meat (100 Credits per unit). Selling them makes sense to add for inventory purists as changes come for their uses.
- Fish Oil can now be sold for 100 Credits.
- Zaw Handles now use Fish Oil instead of Fish Scales. Amount normalized to 50 units.
- Normalized Fish Part costs across Amp Part Blueprints - some had 5 rare parts, some had 2, now there's 3 needed for all.
- Removed Cetus Wisp costs from Operator Armour Blueprints, and replaced them with Eidolon Gems.
- Removed Cetus Wisps from Amp Prism Blueprint, and replaced them with Fish Parts or Eidolon Gems.
- Removed Fish Scales costs from Operator Armour Blueprints, and replaced them with Fish Parts.
- Reduced Standing cost of Cetus Wisps from Quills Offerings.
NEW REINFORCEMENT:
KORRUDO
When they go high, go low. Powerful pneumatic grips and toecaps amplify every blow. Four ways to deal twice the pain.
Creator Mode Setting Addition:
A new Option called "Creator Mode" is coming! This will help players and Content Creators with a simple principle: no distractions, no spoilers.
When this is toggled on:
- Fortuna Citizens won't reveal their secret.
- The Lotus will no longer be purple.
- Operator transmissions will be voice only.
- On-orbiter transmissions and in-mission bumpers for Invasions/Alerts will not appear.
Two-Energy Colours:
Fashion Frame just got a little more energetic! A SECONDARY Energy customization slot in the Arsenal is coming! This is simply a free added bonus when Forma'ing gear.
All non-Forma compatible goods (Syandanas, Etc) will have this automatically.
General Additions:
- A Venus Bounty Trap is coming to Ticker’s Secondhand Wares!
- Added Warframe Ability videos for Harrow, Khora, Octavia, and Gara in their respective Arsenal Abilities screen.

- Added Horrasque and Stover to the Codex.
- Tusk and Kuva Fortress Shield Lancers will have a new look for their shield!
- Added a tint to the background of certain UI screens to match the current chosen Theme.
- Added a new setting under Equipment > Landing Craft > Interior, where old and future Interiors will live so you no longer need to sell to remove.
Buried Debts: Thermia Fracture Changes:
Players who can handle an increased challenge will soon be able to opt-in to making their Thermia Fracture's more difficult! We have added a method to allow players to increase difficulty and lower the overall duration needed to complete 4 Fractures.
- Players can expend additional Coolant Canisters after a harvest has begun within the first 30 seconds of starting the harvest.
- Each additional Coolant Canisters spent will increase the score of the Fracture by +1 (max of 4)
- Each additional Coolant Canister will increase the frequency of the 'Burps'.
- Each additional Coolant Canister will increase (pinned) the alert level of the fight.
- Each additional Coolant Canister will add 50 seconds to your Fracture, reducing the overall time it takes to find/complete 4 Fractures.
Fracture Burps happen on a random timer (5-15 seconds) and randomly selected from the list below:
- Nullifier Burp - Burst of energy that creates a nullifier volume around the Fracture for a brief moment.
- Radiation Status Effect Burp - Damage burst with 100% Radiation Status Effect.
- Rage Burp - Increases the damage output of nearby enemies.
- Thermic Raknoids - Spawns Thermic Raknoids. A new Raknoid variant with unique stats and aesthetic!
- Eximus Burp - Spawns Eximus units.
- Enemy Level Burp - Increases the current enemy level.

General Changes:
Expand the spoilers below for list of notable changes!
- Pet Incubator Changes: Pets will soon no longer suffer negative effects from a lack of Loyalty or Integrity! Integrity and Loyalty will be strictly a bonus on top of your Pet’s base Health and Damage. This removes the function of auto-Stasis when Loyalty and Integrity hits 0, at which your Pet will just simply not have a bonus and continue to live peacefully. The Pet Incubator has undergone many changes, and these are small steps in a larger plan to simplify this system for a more streamlined structure.
-
K-Drive Race Affinity has been increased!
- Affinity gained per Gate is now 500 (previously 200)

-
Increased Valkyr’s Hysterical Assault Augment Mod max Range from 30m to 40m.

- The World Cycles displayed in the Navigation Window will display time until next Cycle/Temperature. The Plains of Eidolon time phases for Dawn, Sunrise, Morning, Day, Dusk, and Sunset will all be described as Day for clarity. We’ve also removed Freezing state in Orb Vallis, it will be just one long period of Cold.
- Improved Hildryn Ability Line-of-sight so they work more often when targets are on different elevations.
- Hildryn will no longer be restricted to move at walking speed when charging Balefire.
- Removed unintended ability to cast Hildryn’s Balefire while using an Atmosphere Archgun that resulted in a loss of functionality.
- Changed the Glaive recall to be done with Melee instead of Melee Channel so its consistent again (Channel being a toggle-only messed up this function).
- Selecting ‘X Friend Requests’ in the Active Events drop down will take you to the Pending Friends screen.
- Aviator and Agility Drift will apply to Titania while she is in Razorwing.
- Atlas' Passive will prevent him from being affected by abilities and weapons that push or pull (e.g. Terra Embattor Moa mines).
- Nezha’s Warding Halo Safeguard Augment will take yourself into priority consideration before others. Meaning that Warding Halo will be cast on yourself as opposed to your allies regardless of if you’re aiming at them.
- Hydroid’s water textures have been updated to reflect fancy new tech introduced with the Plains of Eidolon Remaster!
- Limbo's Banish ability timer will immediately expire if all Banished enemies are killed before the timer counts down.
- Increased the speed of Rhino’s Stomp start animation slightly.
- Restored ability to have Baruuk's Desert Wind slam pull enemies instead of pushing them by holding block/aim.

- Increased the height of the Napalm Grenades Mod damage area.
- Chesa's new Retrieve functionality will no longer stack with Desecrate and other looting Augments (Pilferdroid/Ore Gaze). This was creating some unintended double dips from a single corpse - the dead can only give so much!
- Killing enemies with Operator abilities (Void Blast, Void Dash) will grant the kill Affinity to the equipped Amp when possible.
- Changed Operator Void Dash to no longer stop dashing when passing through allies and objects that bullets can pass through (i.e. foliage).
- Typing an item name (ie Stradavar Prime, Equinox Prime, etc) in the Trade screen search bar will now display all Relics that contain that item.
- You will be able to name/rename weapons that are Polarized, as opposed to the strict Rank 30 requirement.
- Catchmoon's projectile changed to only collide with world geometry when the center of it hits.
- Amalgam Mods will no longer be able to be equipped on Exalted weapons.
- Shock-Camo Skins have received a visual PBR upgrade!
- Changed Tower White pigment to drop from Kuva Jesters instead of Condrocs and Mortus Pink pigment to drop from Tusk Flameblade instead of Kuakas.
- Changed Tower White Pigment drop rate to a 100% chance to drop 1 instead of a 20% chance to drop to drop 5, for more consistent farming.
- Numerous tweaks and Ability balance passes towards Junction Specters.
- And more!
