Sirius and Orion are Warframe’s 65th unique frame and its first dual-character entry, with both fighters sharing a single Warframe slot. The full set arrived with Update 43.0: Jade Shadows: Constellations on June 17, 2026, and you can earn every part for free through the new Railjack content rather than paying for it.

Quick answer: Complete the Jade Shadows: Constellations quest to receive the main blueprint, then farm the Chassis, Systems, and Neuroptics from Uranus Proxima Railjack Skirmish missions in the Pontis Tower, or buy any missing blueprint from the new Pontis Tower vendor using Emerald or Crimson Talents.


Quest requirements before you can farm

The main Sirius and Orion blueprint is a one-time reward for beating the Jade Shadows: Constellations quest. That quest sits behind a short chain of prerequisites, so you need to clear them first.

RequirementWhy it matters
The New WarGates the original Jade Shadows quest. New and returning players must finish this first.
Jade ShadowsSets up the story and the Sirius vs Orion naming choice, which is ultimately cosmetic.
Jade Shadows: ConstellationsAwards the main blueprint and unlocks Uranus Proxima and the Pontis Tower hub.

The Constellations quest itself runs about as long as the original Jade Shadows, so it is not a major time sink. The name you pick during Jade Shadows decides which character is the primary frame, but you can swap that freely at the Pontis Tower after finishing Constellations.


Farm the component blueprints in Uranus Proxima

Like any frame, Sirius and Orion need three component blueprints to build alongside the main one. The Chassis, Systems, and Neuroptics all drop from Uranus Proxima Railjack Skirmish missions, which become available once the quest is done.

Travel to the Pontis Tower, the permanent hub space in Uranus. This is where you launch the new Railjack missions and access the vendor.
Choose a ship for the Skirmish. You can borrow Ryoku’s loaner Railjack or Vena’s, or bring your own. There is no Intrinsics or Railjack ownership requirement, so a fresh player can run these missions immediately.
Clear the Skirmish and check the end-of-mission rewards. Each frame blueprint can appear as a drop, but the loot pool is also diluted by the main blueprint and by the new Pride and Wrath Scythe blueprints, so expect more runs than a typical boss farm.

Note: The drop chances are identical whether you run the Kuva Wytch (Vena) or Scoria’s Angel (Ryoku) version of the Skirmish, so you do not need to grind both sides.

Sirius and Orion drop chances

Sirius & Orion NeuropticsUncommon14.29%
Sirius & Orion SystemsUncommon14.29%

Because the main blueprint can also drop here, duplicates are common and the grind can stretch out. The Skirmishes are fairly long, so frames that handle Railjack content efficiently, such as Hildryn or Lavos, are a practical pick.


Buy blueprints from the Pontis Tower vendor (pity system)

If the random drops are not cooperating, a vendor in the Pontis Tower sells the Sirius and Orion component and main blueprints directly. This acts as a pity system so the farm cannot stall indefinitely.

The vendor takes Emerald Talents earned from Ryoku missions or Crimson Talents earned from Vena missions. You can pay with either currency, so there is no need to grind both factions. Emerald and Crimson Talents also buy other rewards, including themed Landing Craft scenes, Capturas, and two new Ephemeras, so plan your spending around what you want most.


Buying the frame with Platinum or the bundle

If you would rather skip the grind, you can buy Sirius and Orion outright with Platinum from the Arsenal. That gives you an immediate Rank 0 frame ready to level and mod.

There is also the Jade Shadows: Constellations Sirius and Orion bundle, priced at $19.19, which includes the frame, their signature scythes, some extra Platinum, and additional cosmetics. The bundle is sold at regional pricing on Steam.


Crafting time and how to confirm it worked

Once you have the main blueprint plus the Chassis, Systems, and Neuroptics, build each component and then the frame in the Foundry. As with other Warframes, including the original duo-frame Equinox, the full assembly takes 72 hours of crafting time before the frame is ready to claim.

You will know the farm is complete when all four blueprints sit in your inventory and the Foundry lets you start the final build. After the 72-hour timer ends, claiming the frame adds a Rank 0 Sirius and Orion to your Arsenal, where each character can be customized separately with its own mods, Arcanes, and Auras.

If a component build will not start, the usual cause is a missing blueprint or a dropped duplicate of the main blueprint instead of a component. Check the Foundry requirements against your inventory, and fall back to the Pontis Tower vendor with Talents to top up whatever piece you are still missing.
