The Glast Gambit: Update 19.6.0
Additions
FROST HARKA SKIN
From winter’s forest a dark warrior emerges to protect his flock.
FRYSTA LONGSWORD SKIN
Brandish this mythical frozen blade, the signature weapon of Frost Harka.
FROST HARKA BUNDLE
This icy bundle contains the Frost Harka Skin and the Frysta Longsword Skin.
The Helminth Cure
As stated and shown on Devstream #85, the Helminth Cure is here. By now, a majority of Tenno have been faced with a persistent and protruding infection on numerous Warframes. For those with a fully 7-day matured Helminth Cyst, the individual permanent cure awaits you in the Helminth Infirmary. The completion of Glast Gambit is not required to have your Helminth Cyst removed, and once the cure has been administered that Warframe will not be granted access back into the room and can no longer be infected. Keep in mind that breeding a Helminth Charger requires a mature Helminth Cyst to be drained- the choice is yours!
The Glast Gambit – Alignment Script
Without spoiling too much, we have a script incoming that fixes and applies the proper Alignment choices made in The Glast Gambit between the window of Dec 22 9am ET and Dec 23 10am ET. Further investigation from reports showed that ‘Moon’ choices gave a ‘Neutral’ outcome and vice versa during this window (was later fixed).
We will update this post when the script has finished!
Script is complete! Alignment has been corrected for those in the affected time window.
General Additions
- Nidus, Ash Koga Profile and Frost Harka Icons have been added to the Market for purchase!
- Added controller shake to Titania’s Razorwing ability.
Nidus Changes & Fixes
- Increased the base health of Nidus’ Maggots to 1k.
- Increased Nidus’ Mutation Stack consumption from 10 to 15 when knocked into a bleedout state/death. The task of regaining 10 Stacks is quickly obtainable, making this consequence for dying too light. Although 15 Stacks is not a huge jump, we’re hoping it’s closer to that sweet spot!
- Entering a Nullifier bubble will now drain down Mutation Stacks the longer you are in the bubble.
- To increase the visibility of Nidus’ Maggots, holding down Nidus’ Virulence will now display a HUD marker on them. Keep in mind that casting Virulence on Maggots cause them to detonate!
- Nidus’ Ravenous Maggots no longer auto detonate when feasting on enemies. Previously the Maggots could do a majority of the grunt work and you were able to watch the carnage and gain Stacks at the same time. Now to pop the Maggots you’ll need to cast Virulence on them and rejoice in your hard earned Stack accumulation. It’s also worth noting that with testing by our team, the Stack rhythm before and after this change wasn’t noticed at all.
- Improved the FX of Maggot explosion to better represent the intended area of explosion.
- Nidus’ Ravenous Maggots will still attack but no longer latch on other Infested Maggots or Kuva Jesters due to awkward animations.
- Fixed FX, Maggots, & Health regeneration while in Ravenous staying around forever if cast by a Client who leaves.
Changes
- Updated and improved the look of Frost’s abilities with fancy new ice textures!
- Further optimized network access to help alleviate ‘Network Not Responding’ issues.
- Players who have reached the Riven Mod capacity can now continue to trade Riven Mods as long as the trade does not result in going over the capacity.
- In an effort to address the issue of people not noticing the movement of The Kuva Fortress, we have made the loop completion time odd rather than a 24 hour cycle. Players who were logging in around the same daily time found that the Kuva Fortress would always be roughly in the same position, and was restricting the variety of Kuva Siphon missions available.
- When not connected to Steam and viewing a TennoGen item, the price will now read ‘Workshop Item’ instead of ‘$0.00’.
- Changed ‘Tenno’ to ‘allies’ in the Cat’s Eye Mod description.
- Tweaked Nova Asuri Collection description to clarify that the arm/hands FX is not part of the Danavi Syandana, but on cast of Nova’s powers.
- Removed ability to see Codex information about Relics you do not own.
- Removed ability to purchase multiple Arcane Distillers from Syndicates since they are now no longer consumed on use.
Conclave Changes & Fixes
- Vulkar and Vulkar Wraith are now usable in Conclave!
- Impair on hit status removed from Opticor in Conclave.
- Teshin’s Conclave Affinity Inbox message will no longer open automatically. This was resulting in Conclave Affinity being claimed and lost if you were maxed out.
- Fixed a tileset hole in the Celestial Ruins Conclave tileset.
Fixes
- Fixed a loss of functionality when attempting to purchase more Riven slots after exiting out of the Mod station and having the Riven menu pop up.

Changes

The Glast Gambit: Hotfix 19.6.2
Missed Change from 19.6.1:

The Glast Gambit: Hotfix 19.6.3
As you might recall on our last Devstream we mentioned some changes we have made on an infrastructure level for better stability overall and how this has caused some people to get spurious « ‘Network Not Responding » (NNR) warnings when there was actually nothing wrong. This build includes a plethora of bug-fixes and optimizations that we hope will improve this situation; we’ve also continued to add to the diagnostics reported so that we can work with our infrastructure partners to isolate any remaining issues. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your diligent reporting.
Changes
- The Sheev is now a Grineer Invasion offering!
- Enemies no longer receive a mental perception of an attacker, but rather mental perception of the source object. This causes them to play a reaction and become alert, but not have any extra information about the player. Enemies that are shot with projectiles that are silent and/or without a sound effect will now report a visual perception (rather than doing nothing). Previously enemies knew the exact location of their attacker when taking damage, regardless of the source.
- More performance optimizations for the Helminth Infirmary.
- Improved Operator Void Dash aiming and collision on Kuva Clouds to be more forgiving.
- Inbox messages for gifts no longer intrude and interrupt gameplay.
- Tweaked the Sentinel Regen Mod description to include new invulnerability mechanic.
- Tweaked the Atomos rumbling feedback duration when using a controller.
Fixes
- Fixed script errors (game freezes) when trying to research/contribute to Dojo color pigments.
- Fixed a script error with Nezha’s Divine Spears when the initial spear damage kills an enemy which causes an explosion (e.g. Volatile Runner) that kills Nezha.
- Fixed a script error with Mirage’s Prism.
- Fixed a script error with the Azima.
- Fixed Ammo Case Mod upgrades remaining after death.
- Fixed not being affected by Armor deterioration in Infested Salvage/Jordas Verdict when transferring from Operator to Warframe or when playing as the Client.
- Fixed Friends/Clan screen presence information for real-time missions (Alerts, Invasions, Sorties, etc) showing the default mission type of the underlying Star Chart node.
- Fixed no Capture Target spawning in Kuva Siphon missions.
- Fixed Capture Targets not scaling with difficulty for real-time missions (Alerts, Invasions, Sorties, etc).
- Fixed the Frost Harka skin having a prominent left side bulge.
- Fixed missing Index Mods from the Codex.
- Fixed Primed Chamber missing from the Codex for players that own it. Like many time limited items, they only show in the Codex if you own it.
- Fixed a handful of missing enemies from the Codex as per: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/670643-missing-enemy-codex-entries/
- Fixed incorrect Lotus transmissions during a Kuva Siphon.
- Fixed the Investigator Mod description showing unrounded duration values.
