Afentis Prime Relic Farming in Warframe (Styanax Prime Speargun)

The four relics that drop each part, the fastest farming nodes, and how to crack them open.

The four relics that drop each part, the fastest farming nodes, and how to crack them open.

The Afentis Prime is the signature speargun that arrives alongside Styanax Prime, and you can earn every part for free by cracking Void Relics. It throws to pin enemies in place, drops a field that buffs allies, and deals heavy Blast damage with its primary fire. Four specific relics hold its parts, and each one comes from a different tier.

Quick answer: Farm Axi A22 (Blueprint), Meso A12 (Blade), Neo C8 (Barrel), and Lith Q3 (Handle), then crack each one in a matching Void Fissure mission to collect all four Afentis Prime parts.

Afentis Prime Relics and the parts they drop

Each part of the speargun is tied to one relic and one drop rarity. Two of the parts sit at Rare, which makes them the slowest to land, so plan to refine those relics to Radiant for better odds.

Where to farm each relic

Relic drops are concentrated on a handful of fast nodes. Capture missions in the Void are the quickest for Lith and Meso, while Disruption nodes are the reliable source for Neo and Axi on their later rotations.

Relic tierBest nodeNotes
LithHepit (Void)Fast Capture, near-guaranteed Lith drop, under a minute with a quick frame
MesoUkko (Void) or Olympus (Mars)Void Capture or Disruption both work well
NeoUr (Uranus)Disruption B and C rotations; Xini on Eris is easier for newer players
AxiApollo (Lua)Disruption B and C rotations

Hepit gives close to a 100 percent chance for a Lith Relic each run, with only a small chance to hand you Aya instead. Olympus on Mars is a strong alternative for Meso if you would rather run Disruption than another Void Capture.


How to open the relics

Open the Navigation screen and pick a Void Fissure mission that matches the relic you want to crack. The tier shown on the mission must line up with your relic, so a Lith Fissure opens a Lith relic and so on.
Equip the relic before you launch, then start the mission. As you fight, golden Corrupted enemies will spawn and drop Reactant.
Collect ten Reactant to crack the relic open. At the end of the mission you receive one randomly chosen reward from the relic’s reward table.

You will know it worked when the post-mission reward screen appears and lets you select a drop. In a squad, you can also pick from a teammate’s relic without affecting their own choice, so running the same relic with three other players gives you four chances at the part you need.

Tip: Use the Recruiting tab in chat to gather a group opening the same relic at the same refinement level (Intact, Exceptional, Flawless, or Radiant). Everyone must run the matching level, which you raise by spending Void Traces earned inside Fissure missions.


Skip the grind with Prime Access

If you would rather not farm relics, the Afentis Prime is included in the Styanax Prime Prime Access packs. The Weapons pack is the cheapest tier that grants the speargun and the Athodai Prime sidearm instantly, with no build time. Once a pack rotates out, these items return later through Prime Resurgence, so the relic route remains available even after Prime Access ends.

Whichever path you choose, the end result is the same gilded speargun. Farming the Axi A22, Meso A12, Neo C8, and Lith Q3 relics gets you there at the cost of time rather than Platinum, and refining the two Rare relics to Radiant is the single biggest thing you can do to shorten that grind.
