Compared With Previous Patch
- A verified comparison is unavailable because no earlier revision with different evidence was supplied.
- Based on the supplied evidence, the current revision includes the same core update features and details the Sirius & Orion section further, but no source-backed before/after change list is available.
Player Impact
- Supported facts:
- Players gain a new quest chain, new Railjack missions, and a new hub tied to Uranus Proxima.
- Sirius & Orion introduce a dual-Warframe system with rules for swapping, shared equipment, and primary/secondary behavior.
- Railjack players can now access Steel Path versions, with Eximus enemies added there and Steel Essence available from them.
- Railjack component and intrinsic changes may alter ship performance and turret damage.
- Pontis Tower becomes a central location for mission access, vendor trading, and changing Sirius & Orion’s primary form.
- Cautious implications:
- The new token-based vendor loop may make mission choice matter for which rewards players can buy, since each mission grants a different talent type.
- Steel Path Railjack may feel more demanding because the update says it adds more Fighters and Crewships.
