Warframe is bringing back its Operation: Plague Star event, and introducing the Nidus Prime set with its latest update.

Warframe will add the Nidus Prime set in its latest update, and players will be able to earn it through the title’s popular Operation: Plague Star event starting today.

On that date, players can join the Operation: Plague Star event to defend the Plains of Eidolon against infested enemies, with the chance to earn the Ghoulsaw weapon. Players can also earn Nidus Prime Relics, offering an increased chance at acquiring the new Warframe’s relevant components.
