Warframe’s evolving meta had rendered Archguns less viable compared to other armaments. Originally crafted for orbital assaults, these heavy weapons often underperformed in ground missions. Recent updates now permit equipping Primary and Secondary Arcanes on these titanic firearms, revitalizing their combat utility.

Acquiring Archgun Enhancement Components

A new vendor called Nightcap provides access to Archgun upgrades post-completion of The New War. Located in Fortuna’s fungal alcove near the spawn point, this merchant offers specialized contracts. Progressing through Nightcap’s reputation tiers unlocks purchase options for Arcane Adapters using Fergolyte, a currency obtained from subterranean operations. Each progression tier demands unique fungal components gathered during Deepmines expeditions.

Steel Path difficulty missions in the underground complex occasionally reward these enhancement components directly. Monitoring contract rotations ensures efficient acquisition of necessary resources.
