Archguns are known for their immense destructive power, and since becoming usable outside Archwing missions, they have rapidly grown in popularity among Warframe players.
With the addition of Primary and Secondary Arcanes, Tenno can now further enhance Archguns, increasing their overall performance and lethality in high-level missions.
To unlock the ability to equip these powerful upgrades, players must first use an Archgun Arcane Adapter to open the weapon’s Arcane Slot.
What Arcanes Fit Into Archgun Arcane Slots?
Archgun Arcane Slots can hold either Primary or Secondary Arcanes, allowing players to customize their weapons with a wide variety of powerful effects.
By unlocking both Arcane Slots, you can freely equip two different Arcanes, combining offensive or utility bonuses that suit your preferred combat approach.
This flexibility makes it easier to fine-tune your Archgun’s performance, ensuring your chosen Arcanes perfectly complement your playstyle and desired weapon effectiveness.
How To Get Archgun Arcane Adapters?
Archgun Arcane Adapters can be obtained through various methods, but the Vallis Undermined event currently offers the easiest and most efficient way to acquire them consistently.
1) Purchase From Nightcap
The easiest way to get Archgun Arcane Adapters is by purchasing them directly from Nightcap, costing 80 Fergolyte each per adapter.
These become available once you reach Rank 3 with Nightcap, which is achieved by collecting Mushroom Samples from Deepmines Bounties and analyzing them.
Deepmines Bounties are also the main source of Fergolyte, allowing you to efficiently farm the currency needed to buy multiple Archgun Arcane Adapters.
2) Rewards From Deepmines Bounties
Archgun Arcane Adapters can also drop as rewards from Deepmines Bounties, specifically from the Rotation C reward pool at the end of each run.
Although their drop chance is relatively low, the opportunity to obtain them alongside other valuable rewards makes running these bounties worthwhile.
Even if you don’t get an adapter drop, each Deepmines run still rewards Fergolyte, which can later be used to purchase them from Nightcap
3) Purchase From the Market
If you prefer to skip the grinding process and have extra Platinum available, you can easily purchase Archgun Arcane Adapter directly from the in-game Market.
Each Archgun Arcane Adapter costs 20 Platinum, making it an affordable and convenient option for players who want to save time and effort.
You’ll also be prompted to buy one automatically when attempting to install an Arcane Mod on an Archgun that doesn’t yet have an unlocked Arcane Slot.
How To Use Archgun Arcane Adapter?
To use an Archgun Arcane Adapter, open your Arsenal, select your Archgun, and choose the Upgrade option to access its customization menu.
From there, select the Arcane Slot you wish to unlock, and the game will prompt you to use one Archgun Arcane Adapter to activate it.
If you don’t have any adapters available, you’ll be given the option to purchase one for 20 Platinum, which is automatically applied after purchase.
Verdict
Archguns are already incredibly powerful weapons, capable of dealing massive damage in both Archwing missions and standard ground-based encounters across the Origin System.
Enhancing your Archguns with Arcane Mods can greatly improve their overall performance, allowing you to unleash even more destruction against tougher enemies and bosses.
Depending on the specific Archgun and your playstyle, selecting the right combination of Arcanes can significantly influence your build’s effectiveness and combat potential.
