Chains of Harrow: Update 21.2.0
Jat Kusar – Overwhelm hostiles with this jet-powered sickle and razor-chain weapon. Charged strikes ignite an explosive blast at range.
The winning Melee entry from ‘The Best Defense’ contest is here! Concepted and submitted by fellow Tenno SilverBones, this Grineer inspired Plasma Kusurigama is the embodiment of murderous, Grineer ingenuity.

Chains of Harrow: Hotfix 21.2.1
Once again the Prime Vault closes its doors. Rhino Prime, Mag Prime, Ankyros Prime, Boar Prime, Dakra Prime, and Boltor Prime (with their respective Prime accessories) return to the Vault until another opportunity arises.
Wild Relics containing these items have been removed from drops, but Inventories will not be touched. Those that possess vaulted Relics may treasure them forever or continue to crack them open for a chance at these items.

- Optimized Kuva Dargyn AI to improve performance in Kuva Fortress Assault missions.
- Improved ambience performance in the Grineer Shipyard and Corpus Ship tilesets.
