Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus has two Alerts worth 200,000 Kuva and 10,000 Credits each. The first starts Friday, November 6 at 7 PM GMT and ends Monday, November 9 at the same time. The second runs from November 20 at 7 PM GMT until November 23 at 7 PM GMT. Finish both for 400,000 Kuva and 20,000 Credits altogether.
Each Alert is a one-off reward opportunity, not a daily payout. Digital Extremes confirmed the dates and amounts in its Devstream 198 recap, but hasn’t listed the mission nodes in that announcement. Here’s when to log in, where to find the Alerts and what you’ll actually receive.
Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus: November dates and rewards
The Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus schedule gives you a full weekend for each mission. You can complete just one if that suits you, but the advertised 400,000 Kuva total assumes you’ve done both.
| Alert | Starts (GMT) | Ends (GMT) | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| First alert | 6 November, 7 PM | 9 November, 7 PM | 200,000 Kuva + 10,000 Credits |
| Second alert | 20 November, 7 PM | 23 November, 7 PM | 200,000 Kuva + 10,000 Credits |
You won’t get three payouts just because an Alert stays open for three days. Each of the two weekends has its own reward. If you miss the first, the November 20 Alert still offers its usual 200,000 Kuva and 10,000 Credits.
What time do the Gift of the Lotus Alerts start worldwide?
Digital Extremes gives the starts and finishes as 2 PM Eastern Time. The US is on standard time for both weekends, so that’s 7 PM GMT in the UK and 8 PM CET across Central Europe. The table converts those times for other regions.
| Region | Local start | Local end |
|---|---|---|
| UK (GMT) | Friday 7 PM | Monday 7 PM |
| Central Europe (CET) | Friday 8 PM | Monday 8 PM |
| US Eastern (EST) | Friday 2 PM | Monday 2 PM |
| US Pacific (PST) | Friday 11 AM | Monday 11 AM |
| Japan (JST) | Saturday 4 AM | Tuesday 4 AM |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Saturday 6 AM | Tuesday 6 AM |
In Japan and Sydney, these Alerts open early Saturday morning and close early Tuesday morning. For Japan that’s November 7 to 10 and November 21 to 24; Sydney uses the same calendar dates, but a different clock time. The dates may differ from what your US-based clanmates see.
How to complete Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus Alerts
Open Navigation and check the Alerts once your weekend has begun. Select the Gift of the Lotus mission, check its objectives and complete it before the timer runs out. The Kuva and Credits are awarded for finishing the Alert, not simply logging in or opening the screen.
The Devstream announcement doesn’t identify the specific mission node, enemy level or access conditions for either Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus Alert. Your live Navigation screen will show those details when the mission becomes available. The first won’t open before 7 PM GMT on November 6; the second starts at that hour on November 20.
You don’t need to watch a livestream to earn this Kuva. Gift of the Lotus missions are in-game Alerts, whereas the Devstream 198 Twitch Drop was a separate promotion for viewers.
Can you earn 200,000 Kuva every day?
No. The Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus announcement promises two completion rewards, each with 200,000 Kuva and 10,000 Credits. The maximum across both is 400,000 Kuva and 20,000 Credits, not three rewards per weekend.
Kuva is mainly used to reroll Riven Mod attributes, so this is a sizeable reward if you’ve got Rivens you’re working on. It doesn’t include a Riven Cipher; that’s a different item, explained in our Riven Cipher guide.
Why is the Gift of the Lotus Alert missing?
Check the clock before looking for a missing Alert. The first begins November 6 at 7 PM GMT, and the second begins November 20 at 7 PM GMT. Each disappears after its following Monday deadline. There won’t be a point when both of these November Alerts are live together.
If you’re inside the right window, reopen Navigation or sign back in to refresh the Alerts list. If the mission card shows a locked node or another requirement, follow what the game displays; Digital Extremes hasn’t provided a universal Mastery Rank or planet requirement for these two missions in the recap.
Are the November Kuva Alerts part of Taubound?
No. Epoch Operation: Taubound is a different event, ending on November 17. It sends players to Eris to earn Moonflesh for Praghasa’s rewards. The Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus Alerts award Kuva and Credits on their own dates, with no announced Moonflesh connection.
The permanent Prologue to Tau is another separate activity. It requires The Hex and The Old Peace, whereas the Taubound operation is open to players who have finished Vor’s Prize. Neither is listed as a prerequisite for claiming these Gift of the Lotus rewards.
Other Warframe rewards to watch in November
Warframe: Tau is scheduled for December, with another developer showcase on November 27. That’s unrelated to the two Kuva payouts. Our Tau release guide covers the upcoming update, while the Orokin Catalyst and Orokin Reactor guides explain other upgrade materials that can be earned from Alerts and elsewhere.
For the Warframe November 2026 Gift of the Lotus rewards, remember the two deadlines: 7 PM GMT on November 9 and 7 PM GMT on November 23. Complete each mission once during its window to collect both rewards.
