Unlocking the Riot-848 in Warframe: A Step-by-Step Guide

Getting the Riot-848 Weapon in Warframe

Warframe features an extensive array of weapons, including everything from classic firearms to orbital cannons and shurikens. One noteworthy weapon is the Riot-848. This unique sidearm takes the typical full-auto secondary weapon and enhances it with Entrati energy, allowing its spent ammo to automatically reload into the magazine between usage.

While it may take some time to adapt to this unusual weapon, it can prove to be quite powerful if you’re willing to invest in upgrades. First, however, you need to craft the Riot-848. This guide will detail how to acquire the weapon, including its drop rates and crafting requirements.

How to Acquire the Riot-848

The Riot-848 can be obtained from the Solstice Square Defense mission located in Hollvania. To gain access to this mission, you must first complete “The Hex” questline, which unlocks all Warframe 1999 content. After finishing the quest, you can navigate to the 1999 terminal aboard your Orbiter to access Hollvania missions. The Solstice Square is located at the top left of the mission map.

This mission functions similarly to the Lua Defense, where your objective is to protect Flare from waves of enemies. After the initial three waves, the stage collapses into the sewer system below, where Flare will remain for the duration of the mission. This environment is tighter and features more enemy spawn points, leading to quicker enemy waves if you have a solid loadout.

You can earn the Riot-848 from each rotation in Solstice Square, with all parts available in each rotation (A, B, and C). However, parts have a better chance of dropping in higher rotations. Note that rewards are distributed in a cycle of AABC for every three waves.

If you’re struggling to obtain the Riot-848’s components, don’t worry! You can purchase the blueprints directly from Flare in the Hollvania hub using Beating Heartstrings, a currency you earn through successfully clearing waves. You will need 300 Beating Heartstrings to buy all parts of the Riot-848.
