Sirius and Orion are unlike anything else currently in Warframe. Two brothers, one frame, sharing the same thread of fate and playable simultaneously. It's a concept Digital Extremes hasn't tried before, and the farming path to unlock them reflects that novelty. There are multiple routes depending on how much time or money you want to spend, and this guide covers every one of them.
How do you start getting Sirius and Orion?
Before any farming begins, you need to complete the Jade Shadows: Constellations quest. This is a direct sequel to the original Jade Shadows quest, so you must finish that first. Constellations is short, around 30 minutes from start to finish, and it rewards you with the main Sirius and Orion blueprint upon completion. No RNG, no grind, just finish the quest and the blueprint is yours.
The quest also unlocks Pontis Tower, a new hub on Uranus that becomes your main base of operations for everything Sirius and Orion related. Do not skip it.

What component blueprints do you need to build Sirius and Orion?
Like every craftable Warframe, Sirius and Orion require three component blueprints in addition to the main blueprint:
- Chassis
- Neuroptics
- Systems
Each blueprint drops from the Kuva Wytch and Scoria's Angel Railjack Skirmish missions in Uranus Proxima. These missions become accessible from the Railjack screen in Navigation after completing the Constellations quest. Every blueprint, including the main one, has a 14.29% drop chance from these missions, so expect some repetition before you collect the full set.
How do Crimson and Emerald Tokens work?
If the RNG isn't cooperating, the Pontis Tower vendor offers a direct purchase option. Completing Railjack missions in Uranus Proxima earns you Crimson Tokens and Emerald Tokens depending on which mission type you run. These tokens can be spent at the Pontis Tower vendor to buy blueprints outright.
Here's the cost breakdown:

What are the fastest ways to get Sirius and Orion?
There are three distinct paths, and the right one depends entirely on your situation.
Free-to-play farming route: Complete Constellations, grab the main blueprint, then run Uranus Proxima Railjack missions until you have all three component blueprints. Use Tokens to fill any gaps.
Platinum purchase: If you already have enough Platinum saved up, you can buy Sirius and Orion directly from the Arsenal section. You get an immediate Level 0 frame ready to build and mod.
Real-money bundle: The Jade Shadows: Constellations bundle is priced at $19.19 and includes the frame, their signature weapons, bonus Platinum, and additional extras. This bundle is expected to arrive on Steam with regional pricing shortly after launch.
If you're new to the game and unsure how to spend your Platinum or prioritize your progression, the Warframe beginner's guide covers exactly that.

Tips to make the farm more efficient
After running through both Railjack mission types, a few things stand out as worth knowing before you start:
- The main blueprint from the Constellations quest has the same 14.29% drop rate from Railjack missions if you somehow need a second copy, but finishing the quest guarantees it for free, so there's no reason to farm it.
- Token costs add up to 270 for all three component blueprints (90 each), plus 275 if you also need the main blueprint from the vendor. That's 545 tokens total in a worst-case scenario, so plan your mission focus accordingly.
- Both the Kuva Wytch and Scoria's Angel missions can drop any of the component blueprints, so you are not locked to a specific mission for a specific part.
