Known as Necramechs, these mechanical suits bring a new suite of weapons and abilities for players to use. As with other summonable modes of traversal, they can be equipped with a wide range of Mods to suit any playstyle. Here is a complete guide on how to obtain a personal Necramech inWarframe. This article contains story spoilers forWarframe.
Updated March 21th, 2021 by Charles Burgar:With Digitial Extremes announcing that Necramechs can be used in Railjack missions in Update 30, many Warframe players are looking for ways to obtain a Necramech of their own. While the overall process is the same, the Bonewidow Necramech and multiple Mods have been released since this article was originally written. Crafting requirements for the Bonewidow Necramech and additional Mod information have been added.
Complete The Earth To Mars Junction
For players first startingWarframe, they will need to unlock Mars and Deimos before they can obtain a Necramech. Players will need tocomplete the “Once Awake” quest, defeat 150 Frontier Grineer enemies on Earth, collect 500 Rubedo, and complete Suisei on Mercury. Reaching Mercury will require players to complete the Earth to Venus and Venus to Mercury Junctions as well. Completing all objectives will grant the “Heart of Deimos” quest and unlock Mars, which leads directly to Deimos.
Complete The Heart Of Deimos Quest
The “Heart of Deimos” quest is required before players can explore the massive Infested landscape that is the Cambion Drift. Once players have completed the Earth to Mars Junction, they will need to head to their Codex and start the quest.
Before reaching the Cambion Drift, players must first complete Kadesh on Mars. From there, complete the missions Horend and Phlegyas to reach the Cambion Drift. As for the quest itself, players will complete typical activities on an open worldsuch as exploration, fishing, and exploring the vast Infested caves that reside on Deimos. This should take no more than a couple of hours for most players. Bring Viral weapons to make this quest easier.
Complete The War Within Quest
Unfortunately, players can’t purchase Necramech parts until they have finished “The War Within” questline. This quest takes place ratherfar into the campaign. Players will need to complete “Natah,” “The Second Dream,” and the Pluto to Sedna Junction to unlock the quest. As with “The Second Dream,” completing “The War Within” will unlock a new mechanic that allows players to swap control between their Operatorand Warframe.

When this quest is finished, head to Necralisk on Deimos. Once inside, head to the room directly left of Mother. Walk to the conspicuous vertical cut in the wall covered by a black forcefield adorned with golden plates. Swap to the Operator to make the field dissipate. Walk down the hall to talk with Loid, the leader of the Necraloid Syndicate that sells Necramech parts.
Reach Clearance: Modus With The Necraloids Syndicate
As with most Syndicates inWarframe, the Necraloids Syndicate won’t give Necramech parts to any character. To create every part of a Necramech, players must first reach the rank of Clearance: Modus before they can purchase a Void Necramech Blueprint and all of its component blueprints. Those interested in crafting a Bonewidow Necramech will need to reach Clearance: Odima instead. Reaching Modus rank from scratch requires the following:
Completing Vault bounties from Mother will grant Orokin Matrices, which can be turned into Loid for Necraloids Standing.
Craft All Four Necramech Parts
Every Necramech requires four parts to function: a casing, engine, capsule, and weapon pod. Crafting a Necramech is virtually identical to making a Warframe; mixing and matching Necramech parts is currently not supported. All four parts can be crafted as soon as players reach the rank of Clearance: Agnesis. As of update 29.9, there are only two Necramech archetypes players can craft: Voidrigs and Bonewindows. Here is what each part requires.
Voidrig Crafting Costs
Bonewidow Crafting Costs
Each component blueprint costs 2,000 Standing. Damaged Necramech parts can be found on slain Necramechs as a rare drop. Enemy Necramechs can be found during Mother’s Vault bounties. These bountiescan be completed soloor with a matchmade team.
Combine The Necramech Parts
Once players have all four parts crafted for a specific Necramech, they must purchase a Necramech Blueprint to combine all four parts. This requires rank 2 in the Necraloids Syndicate for the Voidrig and rank 3 for Bonewidow.

Completing this craft will allow players to equip the Necramech in their gear wheel, similar to how K-Drives and Archwings work.
Necramech Mods
Necramech guns use Archwing Mods to increase their strength, allowing players who have invested heavily into Archwing toget more mileage out of their investment. For the Necramech itself, however, it has a new Mod ecosystem separate from everything else.
These Necramech Mods are similar to standard Warframe Mods, granting everything from Health bonuses to enhancing Power Strength. Unlike other moddable items, Necramechs have 12 Mod slots instead of the usual 8. This is because Necramechs don’t have melee weapons. This means all Necramech melee Mods must be installed on the Necramech itself. The Bonewidow’s exalted melee weapon, Ironbride, is an exception to this rule.
Players can find Necramech Mods as drops from slain Necramechs found in Mother’s Vault bounties. Like most Mods, these can also be obtained via Transmutation. A few essential Necramech Mods can also be purchased from the Necraloid Syndicate. The following Mods are available from the Necraloids (stats listed at maximum rank):
How To Use A Necramech
Ensure that the Necramech is allocated to a certain gear slot, similar to how Archwings and K-Drives work. Use the gear wheel to summon a Necramech, then switch to Operator mode to enter the vehicle. As of update 29.9, Necramechs can only be used in open world content and Operation: Orphix Venom. However, there are plans to let playersuse them in Railjack missions in the near futurevia a Railjack Intrinsic upgrade. Players can also take control of empty Necramechs throughout the Cambion Drift through the same process.
