** During Void Flood missions in the Duviri Undercroft and Circuit, Teshin will sometimes tell you to "hold fast" as the mission nears completion. This mode is available long before you're introduced to the main Void Flood mode, presented by a faction known as the Holdfasts, meaning that someone who started playing after the Duviri Paradox update wouldn't understand he's making a joke until much later.



** With the new Holster Style customization, you can customize the position, both the location on the Warframe ''and'' their X, Y and Z axes, of your holstered melee weapons for maximal Fashion Frame. Alternatively, you can choose any weapon you like to disappear when holstered if you so prefer, making them materialize in and out of the Warframe's hands in the weapon's energy color.

* PowerUpLetdown: After completing "The Second Dream", you are rewarded with Broken War, a shortsword made from a fragment of the Shadow Stalker's {{BFS}}. It's possible to upgrade it back into its full-sized state, but most players will advise against this. While War does more damage, this damage is mostly of the Impact element, while Broken War deals primarily Slash damage: Slash is considered one of the most powerful elements due to its associated StatusEffect dealing DamageOverTime that [[ArmorPiercingAttack ignores armor]]. Shortswords also have much faster attack animations, making them much easier and more practical to wield. One last blow against the full War is that Broken War comes pre-upgraded with an Orokin Catalyst, a rare item that doubles its mod capacity. If you craft it back into War, it'll lose that Catalyst since it's technically a whole new weapon now. The Broken War vs. War comparison is generally seen as turning one of the best shortswords in the game into a rather mediocre greatsword: if you want to use that kind of weapon, there are more viable options available that don't require you to sacrifice another great weapon.

** Normally, Prime weapons are noticeable upgrades to their basic counterparts, but the Phantasma Prime is an exception. All of its stats are the same, with the exception of slightly more reserve ammo and slightly stronger critical stats. On most weapons, better crits would be a very important buff, but the Phantasma isn't normally built as a crit weapon, instead focusing more on status chance, so it's not really a big difference. The last nail in the coffin is that the Phantasma Prime has a weaker Riven disposition, meaning that if you have a Riven mod, the base Phantasma will get more out of it, potentially making it stronger than its "upgrade" overall.

** Omnia Fissures, introduced in ''Dante Unbound'', let you crack open any relic type and are located on (among other places) the straight examples of Yuvarium (Conjunction Survival, which drops Voruna's parts and several Arcanes) and Tuvul Commons (Void Cascade, the primary way to farm Thrax.) What's notable about them besides combining their native rewards with Prime parts, however, is that scaling freezes during Void Fissures, meaning that on Steel Path, you can farm those ''and'' Acolyte drops in relative peace without mounting pressure. An hour on base Yuvarium will get close to the level cap, but an hour on Omnia Yuvarium is by comparison a stiff breeze once you have a spot locked down.

* RareCandy:
** Syndicate medallions/Voidplumes/Voca are hard to find objects scattered throughout mission tilesets[[note]]the former through Syndicate missions, the latter two [[spoiler: in the Zariman and Albrecht's labs, respectively]][[/note]] in bunches of eight. They can be traded in for Standing, with the first one bypassing their daily standing caps. Universal medallions also exist and can be traded in at any syndicate, but are extremely rare.
** Eidolon shards can be obtained through hunting the Eidolons found on the Plains at night, and while they are used to rank up with the Quills, their primary purpose is to be converted into extra Focus for Operator abilities that bypasses the daily focus cap. Sanctuary Onslaught also occasionally drops a synthetic variant that gives less Focus than the real thing.
** Archon shards can be obtained from endgame level content (such as hunting down Archons post-''The New War'', looting Netracells or buying one from Bird-3). Each one directly boosts a stat like health, armor, secondary crit damage, and each frame is able to accept up to five of them. The Cavia also sell the ability to merge them into variants with specialized but more potent buffs, and merging three Shards into a rarer and stronger Tauforged variant.

Crosswicking new trope.

Added DiffLines:

* StatOverflow:
** All Warframes except for [[MechanicallyUnusualClass Nidus and Inaros]] can have overshields in addition to their regular shields, which will turn the shield bar from cyan to purple. There are a variety of ways to gain overshields, including companion precept mods like Shield Charger or Molecular Conversion as well as Warframe abilities like Hildryn's Pillage or Protea's Grenade Fan. All Warframes have a hard cap of 1200 overshields except for Harrow, whose passive is to double this cap, and Nidus and Inaros, who can't have shields at all under any circumstances.
** In a variant, the Health Conversion and Synth Fiber mods respectively grants armor to a Warframe or sentinel upon collecting health orbs.
** Enemies that have been TakenForGranite by Atlas will drop rubble when they die. Picking up the rubble will heal Atlas or give him a stacking armor buff if he's at full health.

Added Spell Book to account for the new weapon type, the Tome.

* SpellBook: As of the ''Whispers in the Walls'' update, we get the Tome weapon type, the first of which being Albrecht Entrati's personal book, the Grimoire. It is a weapon type that fits in the secondary slot and has its own set of mods, and is used to fling bolts of Void energy at targets.

* ResurrectiveImmortality: Vulpaphylas have their own sub-species exclusive Devolution mods that allow them to revert to a larval form upon losing all of their health. After 30 seconds as a sentry-like floating mass of Infection, they'll turn back into their vulpine forms good as new. Zigzagged with the Tek Assault mod though, as a long-standing bug means Tek Assault's ability to ignore fatal blows activates the Devolution cooldown anyway while keeping the Vulpaphyla vulnerable, meaning they can die during this 30 second window if the Tek Assault fails to proc.

** The iconic Glaive weapon from ''Dark Sector'' (itself a ShoutOut to the movie ''{{Film/Krull}}'') was added to the game as a usable weapon. The description is also a shout out to the game by calling it "the weapon of the first Tenno".
** The Tekna 9mm, the default pistol, was previously used in {{escort mission}}s as a place holder for the hostage's weapon.

Tenno". This is made all the more apparent when using the Glaive weapon type in that you normally wield the weapon in tandem with a non-akimbo secondary.
** The Tekna 9mm, the default pistol, was previously used in {{escort mission}}s as a place holder for the hostage's weapon. Now it, along with the Spectre and Vekesk are both available as skins for secondaries.

Clem can say things other than his name ("Grakata"), which means he's not an example of Pokemon Speak (or One Word Vocabulary, for that matter), and anyway character tropes should go in the character pages.
