The latest update for Warframe, titled Techrot Encore, introduces four new Protoframes to the game, available in the Höllvania Central Mall alongside the existing Hex. Players will need to search for these new additions in a section of the mall that has not been present since the major 1999 update, making their exact locations a bit of a challenge to uncover.
This exciting update brings us four distinct Protoframes: Kaya Velasco (Nova), Flare Varleon (Temple), Minerva Hendricks (Saryn), and Velimir Volkov II (Frost). Each Protoframe has unique features, including selling furniture and providing access to premium game content.
While the new Protoframes are stationed in Höllvania Central Mall, players must first meet certain criteria before being able to interact with them. Below, we outline where to find these Protoframes and the services they offer.
New Protoframes in Techrot Encore and Their Locations
The four new Protoframes can be found to the right of the stage within Höllvania Central Mall, adjacent to a secret entry marked by the Drippy emblem near the stairs. The recent update has also introduced the Round Table pub, where players can meet the new Protoframes.
However, players should note that access to these characters is contingent upon reaching specific ranks: they only appear after achieving rank four (Hot and Fresh) with the Hex. Furthermore, interaction with Kaya, Minerva, and Velimir requires reaching rank five (Pizza Party) with the 1999 Syndicate. That said, Flare can be interacted with once rank four is achieved. If you’re struggling to spot the new Protoframes, enhancing your rank with the Hex may be necessary.
After locating them, the most efficient way to approach each Protoframe is via the Gear Wheel, where you’ll find them listed under the new Protoframes section, allowing easy access to each character, including the original Hex members.
Here are the roles of the new Protoframes introduced in Warframe with this update:
Kaya Velasco (Nova): Temporal Archimedea – Located near the right of the main stage, just beyond the sliding door.
Minerva Hendricks (Saryn): Offers weapons including the new Scaldra line introduced in Techrot Encore.
Velimir Volkov II (Frost): Provides furnishings for customizing your Backroom, and is accessible alongside Minerva.
Flare Varleon (Temple): Supplies Temple parts, parts for the Riot-848, and musical decorations; found near the stage at the far end of the bar.
While these four represent the latest additions to the Protoframe roster, don’t forget that Eleanor Nightingale has also updated her inventory. She now offers Technocyte Coda weapons, which correspond with the new antagonists introduced in this update. Players can find Eleanor in her usual location or quickly access her through the Gear Wheel.
