Caliban Warframe is the 48th addition to the game’s warframes, with spectacular abilities that make it almost mandatory to include him in your collection.
Caliban is a sentient-hybrid Warframe like Revenant. He is a tank and damage warframe with four mind-blowing abilities, including razor gyre, sentient wrath, fusion strike, and lethal progeny. To unlock him, players must complete the New War quest and accept bounties to get their hands on all of his parts. So how do you accept the bounties? Where are they located? Can you directly purchase Caliban for platinum? Keep on reading to find out everything there is to know about this unique new Warframe.
Unlocking Caliban Warframe
Caliban can only be unlocked once you complete the main story of the New War quest. You must complete this quest alone and be prepared for some spectacular rewards at the end. It features the Sentients and Tenno and the war between them.
After completing the quest, you can purchase the main Caliban blueprint. It is available for 50,000 credits at the market. Next, you must get your hands on the blueprints for his machine part by accepting bounties.
Moreover, you can purchase Caliban’s Warframe directly from the market. It costs 325 platinum. Alternatively, you can also purchase the whole Caliban collection. It includes the complete frame, Neurovyre Syandana, Caliban Cranion Helmet, Venato (a scythe) as well as Sporavyre Syandana. The collection is obviously a little more pricy and costs 595 platinum.
Unlocking the Body Part Components for Caliban Warframe
Like all other warframes, Caliban requires the following three body part blueprints.
- Caliban Neuroptics Blueprint
- Caliban Systems Blueprint
- Caliban Chassis Blueprint
These blueprints are obtained by completing the Narmer bounties. You can farm these bounties on the Plains of Eidolon or the Orb Vallis. However, there is a condition for finding them! You can only find them during the daytime on the plains. On the other hand, you can farm the bounties only during nighttime at the Orb Vallis!
Additionally, there is one more condition for farming the Narmer bounties. You can only use one bounty for getting one blueprint during one cycle. Then, you have to wait for the cycle to complete and for the next one to begin.
