TL;DR
Warframe’s Weak Point Standardization update converts several “On Headshot” triggers to “On Weakpoint,” so they can work with more enemy weak points. Banshee’s Sonar now treats its weak spots as Weak Points, and Helios’ Detect Vulnerability Precept was updated to apply Weak Points instead of weak spots.
What Changed
- The team says it is working toward a wider standardization of Weak Points.
- The stated goal is to convert “On Headshot” triggers to “On Weakpoint” instead, because enemies can have weak points outside their heads.
- The update says this is a large undertaking, so the team is prioritizing the most popular enhancements first.
- Converted from “On Headshot” to “On Weakpoint”:
- Longbow Sharpshot
- Argon Scope
- Hydraulic Crosshairs
- Galvanized Crosshairs
- Galvanized Scope
- Primary Deadhead
- Secondary Deadhead
- Arcane Precision
- Arcane Pistoleer
- Sharpshooter
- Harrow’s Thurible, Covenant, and Lasting Covenant Augment
- Helios’ Detect Vulnerability Precept was also converted to apply Weak Points instead of weak spots so it matches Banshee’s updated Sonar.
- The update says this effort will continue in future updates.
Player Impact
Banshee players get the clearest immediate change: Sonar’s weak spots now count as Weak Points, which means they gain synergy with a variety of Mods, Arcanes, and more. The update also says Sonar now prioritizes unmarked body parts for weak spots and the reticle turns red when shooting them, matching other Weak Points.
For players using the listed mods, arcanes, and Harrow augment, the practical effect is broader compatibility with Weak Point-based triggers rather than headshot-only triggers. For Helios users, Detect Vulnerability now aligns with the updated Weak Point behavior.
