Developer Digital Extremes is offering Warframe players another chance to earn some of the online multiplayer game’s powerful Prime Warframes that were previously retired. The developer advertises this opportunity as a last chance, and one that ends on January 25th.
This latest opportunity is called the Prime Resurgence – it’s the first time Digital Extremes has implemented a non-vaulted program in Warframe, allowing players to unlock retired content. Prime Resurgence is divided into two parts, each with different Prime Warframes to unlock. Part 1 will be live from January 11th 11am PT / 2pm ET to January 18th 11am PT / 2pm ET, and Part 2 will start right after that and will continue through January 25th 11am PT / 2pm ET.

To access and unlock these Prime Warframes, you’ll need to earn or buy in-game currency, then go to Varzia Dax (in Maroo’s Bazaar) to awaken the Orokin Prime Vanguard. Once there, you can exchange Aya (which you can earn in-game with selected missions and bounties) for Void Relics, which contain Prime Parts – the necessary components for building a Prime Warframe. You can also give the vanguard Regal Aya (which can only be purchased through the in-game store) for fully built Prime Warframes.
If you haven’t touched Warframe in a while and have no idea what a Prime Warframe is, know that they are pretty good. They represent how a particular Warframe looked and behaved during the Orokin era, which translates into radically different looks, as well as increased base stats and additional polarity slots. Basically, if there’s a Prime variant of a Warframe that you enjoy using, you should aim to unlock that variant – you’ll have more options to customize your Warframe to suit your ideal playstyle.
