Warframe Hotfix 44.0.3 focuses on Narin’s combat flow, Archimedea’s reward structure, and several problems introduced with Iceblade of Narin. Digital Extremes published the Hotfix 44.0.3 notes through the official Warframe forums.

Narin’s Cold Ammo Packs now last 15 seconds instead of 10, while Nurinarim receives a longer duration, faster and clearer Mark generation, and more flexibility during its sword dance. The ability can now fire at unmarked targets, and Narin can use Transference while Nurinarim is active.

Archimedea also returns to its earlier Research Point structure. Matching a Warframe to an Individual Parameter once again awards 1 Research Point, the Legendary Reward returns to 34 points, and Vosfor or Pix Chips return to 37 points. The change follows the broader Archimedea adjustments from Hotfix 44.0.2.

Elsewhere, Blitz Eximus shockwaves have their base damage reduced from 250 to 100, Entropic Eximus can no longer spawn as Nullifiers, and players affected by the No Pets Allowed modifier receive more innate Vacuum range. The hotfix also restores Entropic Eximus bubble hit sounds after the audio stopped triggering across an entire squad.

Warframe Iceblade of Narin Hotfix 44.0.3 Patch Notes

The full changelog covers Narin’s abilities, Archimedea rewards, Eximus behavior, audio, cosmetics, menu issues, and script errors.

Narin Changes & Fixes

Increased the duration of Cold Ammo Packs dropped by Narin from 10s to 15s.
Nurinarim Mark Changes & Fixes:
- Narin can now fire projectiles during Nurinarim at targets regardless of whether they are Marked or not.
  - Attacks on Marked targets cost no Ice and do increased damage.
- Increased Nurinarim’s duration from 15s to 20s.
- Narin can now use Transference during Nurinarim.
- Parkour Velocity and Dodge stats now apply to Narin during Nurinarim.
- Mark Changes:
  - The initial Mark is now created immediately upon Nurinarim activation instead of having a delay.
  - Reduced the time between Marks being generated.
  - Increased the likelihood that targets closer to where you are currently aiming will be Marked during Nurinarim.
  - Marks are now placed based on the target’s height to improve readability.
  - Added a pulse VFX to Narin’s reticle when successfully hitting a Marked target during Nurinarim.
- Fixed Nurinarim’s projectiles not targeting targets beyond 50m even if the target was already Marked.
- Fixed Nurinarim not dealing damage to The Severed Warden’s arms.
- Fixed Nurinarim being able to target neutral units, like Conservation targets.
Fixed Client Narins not gaining Ice when damaging enemies with Hakchum.

Changes

Reduced the Blitz Eximus’ shockwave attack’s base damage from 250 to 100.
- This attack was a common mission killer at higher levels if it targeted an objective like a Defense Target or Mobile Defense Terminal. Now their attacks should be less likely to one-shot a defensible objective.
The Iceblade of Narin blessing’s VFX now only appears when players are in mission with a Melee weapon equipped.
Removed the ability for Entropic Eximus to spawn as Nullifier units.
Reverted the Research Point changes introduced to Archimedea missions with the Iceblade of Narin.
- Using a Warframe that matches those in the Individual Parameters rewards 1 Research Point once more.
- Restored the Research Point reward track to provide the Legendary Reward at 34 Research Points, and Vosfor or Pix Chips at 37 Research Points.
- This change had a mixed reception with players, and we ultimately decided to revert it so players didn’t feel “forced” to match their Warframe due to the increased Research Points they offered.
- Note: the other changes to Archimedea missions introduced with Iceblade of Narin remain untouched.
Players affected by the No Pets Allowed Personal Modifier in Archimedea missions now have an increased innate Vacuum range.
The “Hide Owned” toggle now hides Blueprints of crafted cosmetics in the Nightwave Cred Offerings since players can only own one copy of a cosmetic.
Removed muffled SFX when players are dead and spectating squadmates.
Restored Entropic Eximus bubble hit SFX as it no longer triggers squad-wide.
Reduced Grendel’s Nourish SFX distance for squadmates, and slightly reduced its volume.
Rescue Target downed transmissions are no longer affected by the Mission Tutorial Transmissions toggle.
