How to unlock all the new weapons in Warframe: 1999 – Destructoid
There’s a ton of new content in Warframe: 1999, including two new rifles and a new pistol: the Reconifex, the AX-52, and the Vesper 77. But how do you get your hands on them?
Keep reading to find out exactly what you’ll need to do, and once you get your weapons, check out our builds for the Reconifex, Vesper 77, and AX-52 to get you to slaying ASAP.
How to get the Reconifex in Warframe
Firstly, you can buy the Reconifex from the in-game shop directly for 240p. However, that’s not the only way to acquire its weapon. You can also buy its blueprints from Amir of the Hex syndicate once you reach rank four. Here are the standing costs and crafting materials required:
- Reconfiex Blueprint: 15,000 standing to buy. 30,000 credits, a Reconifex Barrel, a Reconifex Reciever, and a Reconifex Stock to craft.
- Reconifex Barrel Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 40 Techrot Chitin, 10 Techrot Motherboards, 2 Neural Sensors, and 1 Argon Crystal to craft.
- Reconifex Reciever Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 60 Efervon Samples, 60 Höllvanian Pitchweave Fragments, 15 Experimental Arc-Relays, and 500 Ferrite to craft.
- Reconifex Stock Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 60 Höllvanian Pitchweave Fragments, 30 Techrot Chitin, 8 Techrot Motherboards, and 1 Orokin Cell to craft.
You can also drop all of the above blueprints by playing 1999 missions. You can check out exactly what missions drop, which blueprint, and the drop rates on the Wiki. However, chances are quite low, so you’re better off playing missions for standing and hoping to get lucky.
How to get the Vesper 77 in Warframe
Like the Reconifex, you can buy the Vesper 77 from the in-game shop for 200p. Once again, that’s not the only way to get it, though. You can buy its blueprints from Amir of the Hex syndicate once you reach rank three. Here are the standing costs and crafting materials required:
- Vesper 77 Blueprint: 15,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, a Vesper 77 Barrel, a Vesper 77 Reciever, and a Vesper 77 Handle to craft.
- Vesper 77 Barrel Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 40 Höllvanian Pitchweave Fragments, 16 Techrot Chitin, 20 Experimental Arc-Relays, and 1 Argon Crystal to craft.
- Vesper 77 Reciever Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 80 Efervon Samples, 16 Techrot Chitin, 12 Techrot Motherboards, and 300 Salvage to craft.
- Vesper 77 Handle Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 80 Efervon Samples, 40 Techrot Chitin, 6 Techrot Motherboards, and 200 Polymer Bundles to craft.
You can drop Vesper 77 blueprints from 1999 missions, too. Check out the Wiki for the list of which missions reward which parts, as well as drop rates. However, dropping the parts is rare, so you’re better off playing the missions for standing and lucking into maybe dropping a blueprint.
How to get the AX-52 in Warframe
Unlike the weapons above, you can’t buy the AX-52 from the in-game shop. And while you can buy its blueprint from Amir of the Hex syndicate once you reach rank four for 30,000 standing, you can craft it directly without needing to craft other parts for it. The materials required are as follows:
- 20,000 credits
- 80 Efervon Samples
- 40 Techrot Chitin
- 6 Techrot Motherboards
- 200 Polymer Bundles
There isn’t a chance to drop the blueprint for the AX-52 by playing 1999 content, so you’ll have to focus on grinding up the Hex syndicate to rank four and then acquiring the 30,000 standing necessary to purchase the blueprint. As mentioned above, though, there are no component parts to buy.
