Warframe 1999 was a blast and following in its footsteps is the Techrot Encore Update, which introduces a new rockstar Warframe and a ton of new weapons.
If you are wondering about any questions, there won’t be anything as of this update, but you can expect new activities to do and a lot of rewards to get.
If you have already played through Warframe 1999, you can jump straight into the action and start your Techrot Encore experience.
Techrot Encore Activities
Solstice Square (Defense Mission)
Techrot Encore introduced a new Defense Mission that takes place in Hollvania, which has you defending Flare Varleon as he rocks it out at a concert.
The first rotation has you defending him onstage and afterwards, the place collapses and you will be defending him underground.
This mission will reward you with Beating Heartstrings, a currency used to purchase blueprints for the Temple Warframe and his signature weapon, Riot-848.
The Temple and Riot-848 Blueprints and Components may also drop as rewards during this mission, leaving you with the need to only purchase what you don’t have yet.
You may spend Beating Heartstrings by speaking to Flare Varleon at the Hollvania Central Mall, which can be done once you reach Rank 4 (Hot & Fresh) with The Hex.
Additionally, you may also purchase furnishings from Flare Varleon, which are more related to musical instruments and other band equipment.

Technocyte Coda Adversaries
The Technocyte Codas is a new type of Adversary that is similar in a way to the Kuva Liches and the Sisters of Parvos that you may have already encountered.
These beings appear to be imitations of the members of On-lyne and finding their records and bringing them to a terminal will set them as your adversary.
Once you have a rival Technocyte Coda, you will need to complete Hollvania Missions that are marked on the NavNow (POM-2 PC) to complete the Malware Disinfection.
Malware Disinfection can be sped up by equipping Antivirus and Potency Mods on your Parazon and using them on the backup members of your adversary during a duet.
A duet is pretty much an event in the missions where your adversary’s backup members appear to attack you, where you must defeat them and inject them with an Antivirus.
Completing the Malware Disinfection will allow you to confront your Adversary later by approaching them in the Earth Proxima via Railjack to assault their final concert.
Defeating a Technocyte Coda will reward you with Live Heartcells (used to purchase Coda Weapons from Eleanor at Hollvania Central Mall, Coda Ephemera, and more.

Temporal Archimedea
Temporal Archimedea is an activity that puts your skills to the test and is considered a replacement for the past Deep Archimedea activity.
This puts you on a series of three stages (missions) where you have a fixed set of equipment that cannot be changed.
There are individual parameters that can be chosen such as Warframe, weapons, and conditions to increase Research Points that provide more rewards.
The use of Peely Pix can be done to provide you with advantages or to gain more rewards during the activity.
You may start the Temporal Archimedea activity by visiting Kaya Velasco at the Hollvania Central Mall, where she may be found near The Round Table pub.
Rewards from this activity include Archon Shards, Arcanes, Telemetnal Vice, Onni Forma Blueprints, Peely Pax, and more.

The Rockstar Warframe

New Weapons
Temple’s Signature Weapon
Temple’s signature weapon, Riot-848 is a modified machine pistol that Albrecht Entrati has enhanced, granting its ammunition the ability to warp back into its magazine.
Bullets from the Riot-848 are embedded into your targets and will travel back to your magazine when you reload, which causes a mini-explosion in your enemies.
Covert Arms
Minerva, who can be found at the Hollvania Central Mall in The Round Table pub (along with Velimir) sells weapons that were introduced in the Techrot Encore Update.
These are weapons that have been obtained from the Scaldra, which feature their technology and have certain unique traits that make them fun to use.
Covert Weapons that are sold by Minerva include the EFV-8 Mars, EFV-5 Jupiter, Purgator 1, and the Dual Viciss.
You may purchase their Main Blueprints with Standing (The Hex) as well as their Component Blueprints to craft later.
Coda Weapons
Several new Coda Weapons have been added since the Techrot Encore Update came out and these can be purchased from Eleanor Nightingale. (Hollvania Central Mall)
She sells each of the weapons for 10 Live Heartcells, which are obtained by defeating Technocyte Coda adversaries.
Every 4 days, the Coda Weapons that Eleanor sells will rotate, providing you with choices from batch A or batch B.
