What has Stalker been up to lately?

Loki being stalked by the Stalker

Fun fact: The Second Dream is Warframe’s first cinematic quest, and was released late in 2015. In said quest, we saw Stalker getting an upgrade and also getting a job. Stalker served the Sentient mastermind Hunhow, in the hopes that he would be able to kill the Tenno for their crimes against the Orokin. Before then, Stalker was mainly a scary character who would attack anyone with his death mark, kitted out with weapons and abilities on par with our Warframes.

The appearance of the Acolytes always beings excitement, fear and anticipation to many Tenno for a variety of reasons, but really, the whole thing just makes no sense.

Blood Rush is available in the A Rotation of rewards in Lua Spy missions. Everything else is locked behind a bunch of mini-bosses that only come once every six months. The drop rates aren’t… [Continue Reading]
