Warframeis no stranger to change.
Here’s how to play Faceoff in Warframe!
Thankfully, that’s what this guide is for.
What’s A Railjack?
Railjacks are spaceships that up to four Tenno can control at once.
Unlike Archwings, Railjacks have multiple “stations” that will require a player’s attention.
The Railjack itself is a hybrid between a Warframe and an Archwing.
They also share an upgrade system that draws parallels from your Warframe’s Modding system.
Why Do I Need A Railjack?
Before you go hunting for Old War parts, you’ll first need a Railjack Cephalon and Dry Dock.
As of Update 29.10, certain Relays have Dry Docks attached to them.
If not, you’ll need to join a clan to build a Dry Dock.
Once you’ve crafted the Cephalon, you’ll be introduced to Cephalon Cy.
He will guide you through finding and building a proper Railjack.
Each component takes 2-5 minutes to craft.
When the part is crafted, Cy will ask you to recover another piece.
Build a piece, find another, rinse and repeat.
Build all six Railjack parts to complete the quest.
Here are the crafting components for building a Railjack.
Parts are listed in the order you obtain them.
Fuselage
Propulsion
Port Nacelle
Starboard Nacelle
Tail Section
Engine Cowling
150,000 Credits is a tall order for newer players.
If you lack Credits to build a given part,farm the Index on Neptune.
This will give you millions of Credits in just a few runs.
The Wolf of Saturn Six is a tough optional boss in Warframe.
Let’s check out his weaknesses and rewards in this guide.
Upgrading Your Railjack
Update 29.10 made some radical changes to how gearing works for your Railjack.
In essence, your Railjack behaves similarly to a Warframe loadout.
You equip unique Railjack Mods, weapons, and auxiliary items such as thrusters.
This is just a fancy term for the Railjack’s Modding menu.
You increase your Railjack’s Mod capacity by earning Affinity (XP) during Railjack missions.
Tactical abilities provide utility effects such as extinguishing fires automatically or freezing boarding parties.
Integrated and Battle Mods do not followWarframe’s traditional Modding flexibility.
The Polarities/symbols on these cards can only be applied to slots that match said symbol.
All Railjack Mods can be found by defeating Railjack enemies and completing Railjack missions.
As with all other items in Warframe, applying Forma to a Railjack will reset its rank.
Your Railjack’s Mod setup carries over to other players' Railjacks.
The host’s Railjack setup still determines its equipped weapons and auxiliary parts.
Armaments And Components
Armaments are your Railjack’s equipped weapons.
Railjack weapons use the same damage types asyour standard weapons(Slash, Toxin, etc.).
Sigma variants are bog-standard items that can be researched and crafted in a Clan Dojo.
All variants have three tiers that determine their effectiveness.
Tier III items are the best and, excluding Sigma items, come with a unique trait.
For a comprehensive list of what each Armament and Component does,consult the Warframe Wiki.
Intrinsics
Intrinsics are passive skills that you’ve unlocked by playing Railjack missions.
Using Your Railjack
Every Railjack has the same interior, stations, and exit points.
This is due to the low durability of your ship while starting out.
Get a few upgrades and Intrinsic upgrades before you charge into the fray with your spaceship.
Piloting
Piloting a Railjack is similar to an Archwing.
Aim for that marker,as this accounts for projectile travel time.
Aiming dead-center at an enemy will cause you to miss if they’re moving sideways with most weapons.
Once used, forges have a short cooldown before they can craft another item.
There are four forges it’s possible for you to use.
Each forge can craft the same items.
Critical malfunctions are marked as red, and they appear when your ship loses all of its health.
When a critical malfunction appears, you have only one minute to fix it.
With an Omni equipped, spray the tool on the critical section of the ship to repair it.
You’ll need to move the tool somewhat to make progress, similar to mining ore.
Using the Omni consumes the Railjack’s Revolite resource, which can be replenished from a forge.
Abilities, movement, and gunplay work exactly the same as normal.
If enemies are far away from you, you might have to lead your shots.
Capital ships house assassination targets or other core mission objectives.
To leave a ship, backtrack to where you entered from and press the interact button.
