Arbitrations are the ultimate test for seasoned Tenno, turning familiar missions into high-stakes challenges where every decision, weapon, and Warframe counts.
These missions reward skill, precision, and coordination, with tougher enemies, stronger hazards, and the chance to earn exclusive loot like Vitus Essence and rare Arcanes.

Arbitration Mechanics

Surviving Arbitrations requires solid loadouts, fast reflexes, and careful planning, as overcoming the tougher challenges directly boosts rewards and progression opportunities.
