Unlocking the Vinquibus in Warframe: A Complete Guide

Warframe has just unleashed The Old Peace update, and it’s a game-changer for Tenno everywhere. While new romance options have captured attention, the real buzz surrounds Uriel and his terrifying Vinquibus bayonet. Let’s dive into what makes this weapon so unique and how you can get your hands on it.

The Vinquibus isn’t just a weapon; it’s two in one. This ingenious design allows players to equip it as both a primary and melee weapon. Digital Extremes has certainly hit a home run with this innovative addition! Here’s how you can farm it.

1. How to Farm the Vinquibus in Warframe

Roathe, a blue Orokin and Uriel's Protoframe, stands in front of a throne in what looks like hell.

The Vinquibus Blueprints can be obtained by defeating the final boss in the last level of Descendia. After clearing Floor 21, keep running it; each completion gives you a chance at additional Vinquibus parts by taking down the boss.

The Old Peace update includes a variety of content types—so you will need to engage with the story quest, explore the Devil’s Triad, and partake in the Dark Refractory for a well-rounded experience. While blueprints can be harvested from Descendia, resources required for crafting drop from the Perita Rebellion.

If luck isn’t on your side, you can also purchase the Vinquibus Blueprints from Roathe using Maphica. Below are the costs and crafting requirements to streamline your farming efforts.

Blueprint Requirements Cost (Maphica)
Vinquibus Blueprint All built parts + 35,000 Credits 35
Vinquibus Barrel Blueprint Agnovidisc x 325, Laudavi x 350, Servoris x 120 25
Vinquibus Blade Blueprint Agnovidisc x 825, Laudavi x 200, Servoris x 130 25
Vinquibus Receiver Blueprint Agnovidisc x 725, Laudavi x 250, Servoris x 95 25
Vinquibus Stock Blueprint Agnovidisc x 625, Laudavi x 530, Servoris x 85 25
Total Agnovidisc x 2,500, Laudavi x 1,330, Servoris x 430 135

While farming for the Vinquibus is straightforward and quick, gathering all required materials may take a bit of time.

2. Is the Vinquibus a Good Weapon in Warframe?

The Vinquibus stands out as a powerful choice, serving dual purposes as both a melee and primary weapon. Sharing polarities between the two forms allows for seamless customization. It requires only one Forma to make the polarity apply to both slots, and it starts with an Omni polarity to enhance its build.

This weapon comes with an impressive 40% base critical chance for both forms and a 20% status chance right off the bat. For the ranged component, we recommend pairing it with Semi-Auto Cannonade and Critical Delay. The former will boost your damage output while maintaining your fire rate, therefore avoiding penalties from the latter.

The Vinquibus features a synergistic mechanic: headshots while in ranged mode ramp up melee damage, while melee kills can conserve ammo for subsequent shots. Each weapon has its own strengths, but the Vinquibus marks a promising entry into the new Bayonet category.
