Fresh off the Digital Extremes’ TennoCon 2025 announcement, which sold out in a crazy time, the hype train keeps building with the release of the latest Prime Warframe. In addition to the shiny new character to rip about with, we also get the two customary new weapons, including some very Viking melee tools.

Our upgraded friend this time around is Lavos the transmuter. Once a jailer to a rogue Orokin alchemist on Venus, they instead became the prisoner's pupil. On the day the alchemist should have been executed, Lavos instead transmuted them into a serpent and granted it onto their own left arm. A very cool backstory I am sure you will agree.

Thanks to this alchemy fun, Lavos cuts about with serpent whips, tearing through their targets in a dexterous dance. They can also act as a support character to a degree, being able to transform pickups into universal items to replenish multiple resources. With skills like this you wouldn’t expect Lavos to need weapons, and yet.

Our two Prime weapons this time are technically three. You can blow your opponents away with the Cedo Prime shotgun, or unleash your inner Viking with the Dual Zoren Prime twin axes. Is Lavos Norse-themed? No, but we need no excuse to have some Norse fun! For more shiny gear, you can also pick up the Nimandi Prime Armor, Vitam Prime Syndana backpiece, Prime Transmutation Probe decoration, and Lavos Prime Glyphs.

You can pick up the Lavos Prime Warframe and their weapons in the usual fashion; collecting their blueprints, components, and Void Relics by rampaging across the universe. If you don’t fancy cutting through countless foes, you might be in the wrong game. Nonetheless! You can grab the Prime Access Pack or Complete Pack through the Warframe in-game store.

Warframe is available to download from the App Store.
