The Warframe 1999 update brings a significant expansion of content, highlighting a new Calendar progression system, an enriched endgame narrative, and a variety of quality-of-life enhancements.
At the heart of this update is the 1999 Calendar, a structured reward system that enhances player engagement within Höllvania. Players can unlock the Calendar after finishing The Hex quest and connecting with the Pom-2 in prominent locations, such as the Orbiter or Höllvania Central Mall.
Understanding the Warframe Calendar and Seasons
The introduction of the Calendar system in Warframe 1999 segments the gameplay into four unique seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Each season persists for one real-time week, which translates to three months in-game, influencing the environment of Höllvania. The seasonal schedule begins with a prolonged Winter followed by a weekly cycle:
Winter: Dec. 13 – Dec. 22 (January, February, March)
Spring: Dec. 22 – Dec. 29 (April, May, June)
Summer: Dec. 29 – Jan. 5, 2025 (July, August, September)
Autumn: Jan. 5, 2025 – Jan. 12, 2025 (October, November, December)
During each season, specific dates are highlighted when players can accomplish particular tasks to earn exclusive, time-limited rewards.
Rewards and Weekly Tasks
Players can stay updated on their weekly tasks via the clipboard icon in-game. Only one task can be active at a time, with completed tasks displayed in grey and the next one highlighted in green. Successfully completing these tasks contributes to advancing the in-game calendar.
Rewards:
Each in-game month provides two rewards, amounting to six per season, that include a host of valuable items such as:
- Arcane Enhancements: Arcane Bellicose, Arcane Truculence, Arcane Impetus, Arcane Crepuscular, Arcane Camisado.
- Archon Shards: Crimson, Amber, Azure, Topaz, Violet, Emerald.
- Adapters: Exilus Warframe Adapter, Exilus Weapon Adapter, Primary Arcane Adapter, Secondary Arcane Adapter, Melee Arcane Adapter.
- Blueprints and Forma: Aura Forma, Orokin Catalyst, Orokin Reactor, and Forma (built or blueprint).
- Riven Mods: Rifle, Shotgun, Melee, Pistol, Zaw, Kitgun, and Companion Weapon Rivens.
- Höllvania Resources: Hollars, Hex Treasures, Cheddar Crowns Cereal, Mood Crystals, Argon Burger Meals, and additional items.
- Boosters and Resources: 3-Day Boosters, Kuva, Vosfor, and Endo.
Hex Overrides Explained
The Hex system includes two main types of overrides:
- Hex Boosts: These provide passive bonuses to player stats.
- Hex Factors: These are active bonuses triggered through specific actions like performing bullet jumps.
This functionality appears as a Wrench icon on the Calendar, offering three powerful overrides per season, allowing players to select from a set of three buffs.
Celebrating Hex Birthdays
The members of The Hex celebrate their birthdays at designated times within the seasons, which players can acknowledge to boost Chemistry with each character. While participation is voluntary, engaging with them can enhance player-character relationships:
Leticia: Feb. 14 (Winter)
Amir: May 23 (Spring)
Aoi: July 10 (Summer)
Eleanor: Nov. 2 (Autumn)
Arthur: Nov. 3 (Autumn)
Quincy: Dec. 4 (Autumn)
For those interested in maximizing Chemistry with a specific character, an in-depth Hex Gifts guide is available.
The implementation of the Warframe 1999 Calendar system introduces an engaging layer of progression through seasonal tasks and rewards. This system enhances the gameplay experience with weekly objectives that yield significant rewards, including Archon Shards, Kuva, and Riven Mods. With no restrictions on daily completions and the potential for powerful seasonal buffs through Hex Overrides, players are encouraged to tailor their approaches to match the dynamic challenges presented in Höllvania.
