Mesa is a gunslinger-themed Warframe, capable of shredding enemies in seconds while maintaining mobility and control, turning every mission into a display of precision and firepower.
She thrives on ranged combat, using her abilities to amplify her weapons, protect herself, and disrupt enemy attacks, making her nearly unstoppable in both solo and team play.
Wherever Mesa goes, the battlefield bends to her favor, letting her pick off enemies from afar, protect allies with her abilities, and clear even the toughest missions with ruthless efficiency.
How To Get Mesa?
Mesa’s main blueprint can be purchased from the in-game Market at the cost of 30,000 Credits and may be crafted once you obtain her component blueprints and craft them.
Her component blueprints can be acquired from defeating Mutalist Alad V during the Mutalist Alad V Assassinate mission on Eris.
In addition to this, you can use The Circuit, available after completing The Duviri Paradox, to obtain her main blueprint and component blueprints as you progress through the tiers.
Mesa may also be purchased using 325 Platinum, which provides the Warframe fully built without needing to farm or craft any components.

Mesa Abilities
Passive Ability
Mesa has improved proficiency with secondary weapons, providing her with a health bonus and multiple bonuses depending on the sidearms she wields.
She has the following bonuses when it comes to having only sidearms equipped:
- Dual Wielded Sidearms – 15% Fire Rate
- One Handed Sidearms – 25% Reload Speed
- No Melee Weapon – 50 Health
1) Ballistic Battery
Activating this ability will store damage dealt by guns, and upon reactivating it, additional damage is channeled through the next gunshot.
The amount of damage dealt by this shot depends on how much damage you deal while the ability is storing damage, making it possible to unleash a deadly shot afterward.
Ballistic Battery (Max Rank)
Stat | Value | Affected By |
Drain | 25 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Damage | 100% | Ability Strength |
Buffer Limit | 5,000 | Ability Strength |
Augment Mods:
- Ballistic Bullseye increases the Final Critical Chance bonus based on the amount charged. Obtained from Steel Meridian/Red Veil.
2) Shooting Gallery
Mesa’s Shooting Gallery ability grants an ally Extra Damage while jamming the guns of nearby enemies, temporarily disabling their ranged attacks.
The bonus effect jumps from one ally to another, including Mesa, moving between targets while continuing to disable enemies’ ranged attacks within the radius.
Shooting Gallery (Max Rank)
Stat | Value | Affected By |
Drain | 50 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Damage | 25% | Ability Strength |
Duration | 30 Seconds | Ability Duration |

3) Shatter Shield
Mesa envelops herself in a barrier of energy that reflects incoming bullet damage to enemies, protecting her while also damaging those who fire at her.
This damages enemies who attack you within a certain radius based on the amount of damage they would take if they attacked themselves.
Shatter Shield (Max Rank)
Stat | Value | Affected By |
Drain | 75 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Damage Reduction | 80% | Ability Strength |
Duration | 25 Seconds | Ability Duration |
| Radius | 11 Meters | Ability Range |

4) Peacemaker
Mesa equips her Regulator Pistols, allowing her to continuously fire at enemies with guaranteed powerful hits.
Firing will continuously increase the Regulator Pistols’ rate of fire while causing the reticle of enemies attacked to become smaller.
Peacemaker (Max Rank)
Stat | Value | Affected By |
Drain | 25 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Energy/Second | 15 Energy | Ability Duration/Efficiency |
Damage Multiplier | 1.5x | Ability Strength |
| Field of View | 15 ° | Ability Range |
Augment Mods:
- Mesa’s Waltz allows Mesa to move at a reduced speed while Peacemaker is being channeled. Obtained from Steel Meridian/Red Veil/Conclave.
Verdict
Mesa brings the classic gunslinger fantasy to Warframe, blending speed, survivability, and raw firepower that make her lethal in both single-target and crowd-control fights.
Her Shooting Gallery boosts allies while jamming enemy fire, and Peacemaker turns her into a storm of bullets, letting skilled players dominate any fight.
With good positioning and timing, Mesa can stay safe while eliminating enemies quickly, making her ideal for players who enjoy precision and overwhelming firepower.
