Warframe's The Old Peace update is far larger than it seemed, bringing a slew of activities and missions to Tenno everywhere. That said, the most anticipated part of the update (outside of new romance options) may be Uriel and his weapon of choice, the hellish Vinquibus bayonet.
This unique weapon actually counts as two, since you must equip it both as a primary and as a melee. It's another grand experiment by Digital Extremes, and one that seems to be going well. Here's how to acquire it.
How to farm the Vinquibus in Warframe
The Vinquibus Blueprints may drop from the final level of Descendia, after defeating the last boss and clearing the end of Floor 21. Once you've completed this infernal activity, you can start further runs on the bottom floor, giving you a chance at Vinquibus parts just by taking down the final boss.
Since The Old Peace is a tripartite update—the eponymous story quest, the Devil's Triad, and the Dark Refractory—getting the Vinquibus also requires you to interact with all three types of content. Though you get the blueprints from Descendia, the resources to build those weapons drop from the Perita Rebellion.
You can buy the Vinquibus Blueprints from Roathe using Maphica as well, if your luck doesn't favor you. We've listed their costs and crafting requirements below.
| 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 x825 Laudavi x200 Servoris x130 |
25 |
| Vinquibus Receiver Blueprint | Agnovidisc x725 Laudavi x250 Servoris x95 |
25 |
| Vinquibus Stock Blueprint | Agnovidisc x625 Laudavi x530 Servoris x85 |
25 |
| Total | Agnovidisc x 2,500 Laudavi x 1,330 Servoris x 430 |
135 |
Getting the Vinquibus may be the easy part due to how simple and quick it is to farm, though you may still need some time to grab all the required materials.
Is the Vinquibus good in Warframe?
The Vinquibus is a single weapon that serves both as a melee and a primary, sharing polarities between the two. You only have to Forma it once for the polarity to apply to both slots at once, and it also comes with an Omni polarity at base to help buildcrafting without having to favor one form over the other.
This in itself offers it quite a bit of peculiarity, but it also boasts a very high base critical chance of 40 percent in primary and melee, with 20 percent status chance at base as well. For the firearm portion of it, we recommend going for Semi-Auto Cannonade if you have it, paired with Critical Delay. The former buffs your damage and locks the weapon's fire rate, meaning you can't get any penalties to it (like the reduction from Critical Delay).
The Vinquibus also synergizes between its two forms: while in ranged mode, landing headshots boosts the damage of your melee attacks, and melee kills improve its ammo efficiency for the next few shots. And while every weapon is its own and can be viable across several difficulties, the Vinquibus does come to a promising start, ushering in the new Bayonet weapon category.
