Loved by its long-time players, Warframe continues to innovate well into its long life. One of the best sci-fi MMOs with an awesome setting available today, it mixes high-speed action with constantly evolving ways to play.
Those evolving ways to play are one of the elements that make Warframe great to jump into at any moment. Originally a straightforward, linear looter-shooter, the game has since opened into an open world affair. The newest element of gameplay introduced is the Railjack, a spaceship operable in space combat by up to four players. Railjacks can be equipped with a Sentinel upgrade, and one of the best is the Nautilus. Here's how to get it.
Step 1: Get a Railjack
Getting a Railjack is something that happens quite naturally once a player reaches a certain level. There's a quest issued that, after gaining the proper materials, rewards a Railjack to players. Much like Necramechs, Railjacks offer an entirely new avenue in Warframe's gameplay. In addition to battle from the Railjack proper, players can also launch themselves from it to battle or explore in space using Archwings. Once a Railjack has been built, players should head to Neptune Proxima.
Step 2: Neptune Proxima's Ice Mines
Players' ultimate destination is one of the Ice Mine Caches of Neptune Proxima. There are a bunch of them scattered around Neptune Proxima, and all of them have the same chance of giving components for the Nautilus. Much like other open-world sections of Warframe, there's a lot of area to cover, so finding a good Cache for farming might take a while. Ideally, hunt down one with a very short distance between the entrance and the hackable console at the end. Hacking that console will possibly give one of the Nautilus components, and this can be repeated as necessary.
Step 3: Keep Farming
There are four separate components for the Nautilus including its blueprint, and each one has around a 6% chance of dropping from the console of an Ice Mine Cache. Players will have to farm these consoles quite a bit. Be sure to have essential mods equipped, since getting careless can lead to lost progress.
The end result is quite worth it, as the Nautilus not only comes equipped with a powerful Cold weapon, but with two pre-installed mods. One mod heals the Railjack and puts out its fires, while the other draws enemies together for easier attacking. No doubt players will be comparing its effectiveness to other Sentinels at the upcoming digital TennoCon 2021.
Warframe is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox One. An Xbox Series X/S version is also in development.
