Digital Extremes published the official Hotfix 43.5.1 notes for Warframe‘s Amir’s Shockwave on August 12. The fix list covers client crashes, loot behavior, visual effects, performance, and script errors.

The most direct gameplay adjustment affects the Cronus Blueprint from Vor. Every Vor defeat will guarantee the blueprint, while the remaining entries address problems affecting Surge Eximus units, Sirius & Orion, Amir’s Fables & Frontiers, and Xaku’s The Lost ability.

The broader Amir’s Shockwave update was scheduled to begin on August 12 at 11:30 a.m. ET with a new Nightwave Mix and a permanent Fables & Frontiers KIM adventure; those wider additions are covered in the Amir’s Shockwave overview.
