You can complete free-roam missions and explore important locations almost instantly. It is recommended to obtain the Launcher as soon as possible to make your gameplay experience much smoother. However acquiring the Launcher can be a bit complicated but don’t fret about it, this guide will explain everything you need to know.
Note: Before we dive further into the process, make sure you have the quest “The Archwing” completed.
Join a Clan and get the Archwing Launcher Segment
In order to craft the Archwing Launcher Segment, you must be in a Clan (fully researched recommended). The quickest way to find a clan is through in-game recruiting chat or Warframe’s Discord/Reddit servers. Once you join any clan, go to Dojo and fast-travel to Tenno Lab/Research then navigate to the Miscellaneous tab. Purchase ‘Archwing Launcher Segment Blueprint’ for 15000 Replication Coins and it will reveal the materials needed to craft the Archwing Launcher Segment in the Foundry (Must be Mastery Rank 5 to proceed). The crafting process will take approximately 12 hours, and the required materials are:
- 100,000x Credits
- 50x Grokdrul
- 50x Iradite
- 1200x Oxium
Crafting the Archwing Launcher
After claiming the Segment, open the Foundry again to find the requirements for the Archwing Launcher itself.
- 7500x Credits
- 50x Iradite
- 50x Grokdrul
- 30x Fish Oil
- 600x Circuits
Obtaining materials for the Launcher is significantly easier but still takes a chunk of your time if you are a beginner. Farm all the required materials and claim your well-deserved Archwing Launcher.
Equip the Launcher from your gear wheel and enjoy Warframe from the skies. It has unlimited uses, so don’t think twice before utilizing it. Access to this launcher saves players from all the unnecessary walking or getting lost in between. It also helps while in combat by dodging enemy attacks. For these reasons, it is considered to be the most valuable right from the start.
Farming the Materials Efficiently
The process of getting your hands on the Archwing Launcher is straightforward as mentioned but some players still have a hard time farming the required materials, follow this method to get all the materials efficiently and in no time.
Note: Archwing Launcher is also purchasable from the market for 175 Platinum if you aren’t the grinder kind of guy.
Credits
Credits are the basic currency in the game which are rewarded for almost every activity. You can get more credits if you are playing with friends on a higher-difficulty mission.
Iradite
Iradite is mostly found in stone-type form, mostly scattered around in the lower regions of the Plains of Eidolon. The most efficient way to gather Iradite is by completing highest-level bounty missions. The regions to look out for are:
- Er-Phryah’s Vigil
- Hek’s Stiletto
- Renthi Spring
- The Seethe
Grokdrul
Grokdrul can be located within the green drums while sieging Grineer Outposts. It is pretty easy to find and will be much more rewarding if found during high-level bounties.
Fish Oil
Fish Oil is found through the fishes of the Plain of Eidolon, any fishing setup works to find plenty of oil. If you want the process to be more quick, buy it directly from the Fisher Hai-Luk.
Circuits
Circuits are easy to find resources, they drop from killing enemies and completing missions. If you travel to Venus or Cerus, you can farm plenty of circuits easily. Circuits are also purchaseable from the market.
