How to get Akarius Prime Relics in Warframe

The Akarius Prime brings in the best of the stylish nature of dual pistols but brings the big badaboom of rocket launchers. It’s a must-cop if you’re into AoE weapons in Warframe. In any case, here’s what you need to know how to get the Akarius Prime if you’re farming Relics.

All Akarius Prime Relics in Warframe

  • Blueprint: Neo A11 Rare
  • Barrel: Axi D5 Common
  • Receiver: Lith A6 Rare
  • Link: Lith R5 Uncommon

The best Lith Relic farm

Farming missions in the Void will net you a Relic in almost every run. To get Lith Relics, your best bet is to farm the Hepit and Teshub missions in the Void. They can be completed very quickly with speedrunning builds.

The best Meso Relic farm

Similar to the Lith method, Meso Relic farming will be the same. Oxomoco and Ukko are Capture and Exterminate missions that can be completed in under two minutes if you’re fast enough. 

The best Neo Relic farm

Neo Relics can be obtained in missions ranging from level 25 and upward. A very reliable spot to go to is the Survival node, Mot, in the Void. You’ll be rewarded a Relic of that tier for every A and B rotation. Basically, you’ll earn a Neo Relic for every 5 minutes, excluding the 20-minute intervals

The best Axi Relic farm

If you survive every 20-minute interval in Mot, you will be rewarded an Axi relic. It won’t be guaranteed that it’ll be for the Akarius Prime Barrel one, but it is the most consistent.

A note about the Akarius Prime

Since these are dual pistol weapons, that does mean you will have to get two Barrels and two Receivers to fully craft this. While the Axi component of the Akarius Prime is a common reward, it isn’t guaranteed when you take on a mission.

Every Relic has three rewards, meaning that there’s a larger loot pool. A larger loot pool means there’s a smaller likelihood of getting the item you want right from the get-go.

Alternative forms of farming Prime Relics

If repeating Void missions gets tiresome, there are various other activities to dive into. Namely, the open-world syndicates have vendors who sell Relic packs once you have a high enough standing with them. So, if you’re planning on farming those areas or increasing your ranks there, you may want to pay these NPCs a visit.

The following are the NPCs who sell Relic packs:

  • Old Man Suumbaat: Cetus, Earth
  • Otak: Necralisk, Deimos
  • Smokefinger: Fortuna, Venus
  • Teshin: Any Relay

This is definitely going to be a hot item in the trading market since the Akarius was already a solid weapon. Its parts are going to cost a lot of platinum, so it’s up to you if you want to skip some grinding by buying pieces or toughing it out.
