Warframe Nidus Prime Resurgence is live, with Nidus Prime returning alongside Saryn Prime in the rotation announced on 29 October 2026. You can earn the Infested Prime Warframe without spending real money by farming Aya, buying the right Void Relics and crafting his components.
If you would rather skip the grind, Varzia also sells Nidus Prime for 3 Regal Aya, or a larger pack for 6. Both options are covered below, including what you actually get for the extra currency.
Warframe Nidus Prime Resurgence: how to get him for free
Aya comes from eligible Bounties and Void missions, as well as Relic Packs. You can buy those packs with Syndicate Standing, although Market Relic Packs cost Platinum. Running missions or using Standing lets you work towards Nidus Prime without buying Regal Aya.
Exchange your Aya with Varzia Dax at Maroo’s Bazaar on Mars. Her shop is also accessible through your Orbiter’s Relic Segment and the in-game Market. Check the Relic reward previews before spending, since not every available Relic contains a Nidus Prime part.
Five steps to build Nidus Prime from Relics
1. Collect Aya. Complete eligible Bounties or Void missions, or open Standing-purchased Relic Packs. Our Aya farming guide covers the different sources.
2. Choose Nidus Prime Relics. Look at Varzia’s current rewards and buy Relics that contain the blueprints you’re missing. The reward preview matters more than an older Relic name copied from a previous rotation.
3. Open the Relics. Pick a matching Void Fissure, equip your Relic, collect ten Reactant and finish the mission. You’ll need the main Nidus Prime blueprint plus the Neuroptics, Chassis and Systems blueprints. If a part doesn’t drop, keep opening the relevant Relic.
4. Craft the parts. Build the Neuroptics, Chassis and Systems in your Orbiter’s Foundry, then use the main blueprint and any remaining resources to assemble Nidus Prime.
5. Equip him. Claim the finished Warframe, make sure you have a free Warframe slot and select Nidus Prime in the Arsenal. Crafting through Aya does not automatically include a slot or an installed Orokin Reactor.
Warframe Nidus Prime Resurgence is a chance to target the parts you’re actually missing. Varzia’s in-game Relic previews will show which rewards are available; Digital Extremes hasn’t supplied a reliable new part-by-part Relic list in the rotation announcement.
Warframe Nidus Prime Resurgence: Regal Aya costs
Nidus Prime costs 3 Regal Aya on his own. He arrives already built, with a Warframe slot and an Orokin Reactor installed. That’s the direct route if you don’t want to farm parts or wait for the Foundry.
The Nidus Prime Pack costs 6 Regal Aya and contains Nidus Prime, Strun Prime, Magnus Prime, Karnolyth Necramech Skin, Crinoid Prime Syandana, Infested Orbiter Decorations, two Maggot Prime decorations, exclusive Nidus Glyphs and 10,000 Endo.
The Nidus and Saryn Prime Dual Pack costs 10 Regal Aya. It contains both Warframes, their four associated Prime weapons, accessories, glyphs and 50,000 Endo. If you only want one Warframe, buying the standalone version is a considerably smaller Regal Aya spend.
Can you farm Strun Prime and Magnus Prime too?
Yes. Strun Prime and Magnus Prime are part of this rotation too. Their blueprints and parts can be earned from the relevant Aya Relics, while accessories such as the Crinoid Prime Syandana are premium Regal Aya items.
Regal Aya is a real-money currency and can’t be traded or gifted. See our Aya vs Regal Aya guide for the full breakdown, including which purchases come with inventory slots.
When does Warframe Nidus Prime Resurgence end?
Digital Extremes announced the current Nidus and Saryn rotation on 29 October 2026, but its announcement doesn’t give an exact end date. You can check Varzia’s live inventory to see which Relics and packs are available before you spend Aya.
Relics you already own won’t vanish when Varzia changes her stock. You can still open them later, so collecting the ones you need now is worthwhile even if your Foundry build has to wait.
Warframe Nidus Prime Resurgence gives you a choice: earn the Relics through Aya and build him, or pay Regal Aya to unlock him straight away. You can follow the same free method for Saryn Prime, which is back in this rotation too.
