He brought Primed Rubedo-Lined Barrel again recently - a godsend for Necramechs and environmental archgun enthusiasts - and Prova Vandal now that DE has remembered that it exists. Primed Tactical Pump debuted in June, making Hek and Arca Plasmor fans go nuts (especially now that the Tenet Arca Plasmor and Kuva Hek exist), as well as Primed Chilling Grasp for shotguns in general. Not sure how far back your hiatus began, but Primed Fulmination dropped in December and reappeared in June, and combines with Kuva Ogris and Nightwatch Napalm to leave memeworthy persistent AoEs.
 
All in all, there have been some gems among the usual Primed Disappointment.

@Azure Fang  
o-ho, so baro scamteer finally got some good stuff, tho still not bucket prime
 
i stopped playing like a month before infested open world got released, or so, ill check once i get home from work (yes i have one of those)
 
also first we had mechs and now we have a magical girl/idol frame, is it finally weebframe after all these years?

@TeamBlueplant  
Yeah… Yareli is egregiously weeb. Her animation set is glorious on a hot pink Rhino, though.

@Azure Fang  
well, it was expectable after nezha, octavia, literal mechs and wisp  
tho it feels like giving frames individual personalities makes the whole operator ordeal kinda inconsistent, unless its some umbra shenanigan, or did they fuck up the lore once again?

@TeamBlueplant  
With the addition of Excalibur Umbra, they effectively retconned in a relatively decent reasoning for each warframe having distinct “personalities”. Moving said personalities into different frames is sheer Fashion Frame endgame, but it gives us such blursed things as this.

@Azure Fang  
is this what peak performance looks like?

@TeamBlueplant  
Don’t forget Ukun, everyone forgets that the monke is 100% weeb even if you do account for Hanuman.  
And frames have always had distinct personalities, if anything, it’s the operator that is a fuckup.

@Barhandar  
yyeeea, when second dream(? rolled around and we got children commiting mass genocide, it felt weird. i found the story good but implementing it to the game felt off

@TeamBlueplant  
It gets better. Chains of Harrow and The War Within put things into a little more perspective, as does The Sacrifice (Excalibur Umbra). The lead up to The New War helps explain some of the background further, and The New War itself (supposedly fully releasing this year) is supposed to tie all of the current story together.

@Azure Fang  
i just feel like fighting all those sentinels will be a huge pain, also i was dissapointed that when space mom departed we got a glitchy hologram version as a mission guide instead of ordis
 
so i went i reinstalled the game, turns out i got confused, i have max rank with suda, it was the arbiters that required a mirage prime part for last rank up, but now its a atlas prime part wich i had so lucky me, just gotta wait 24 hours because what is respecting player’s time
 
i went to the infested open world hellscape, i dont understand the heart and i really dont care about the dumb family squabbles out of a slice of life anime, and seeing that i need to rank up with the planet to access the helminth gives me des-pa-cetus ptsd flashbacks
 
but i had forgotten how fun it is to use that one plague star even polearm with a stance, and that i feel like the recoil of lex prime will give me motion sickness, and that hema is fun
 
i also have no clue of what all the new frames do, last one i remember is the glass shard one from plains of idle-on

@TeamBlueplant  
Last remembered frame was Gara, huh? Wow. <insert Family Guy “So much you’ve missed” song>
 
Khora: Crazy cat lady and dominatrix. Has exalted Kavat with switchable abilities, thus can have two effective pets at once.
 
Revenant: Eidolon frame. Gets the disco death laser spin everyone hates fron Sentients.
 
Garuda: Blood birb, blood for the Blood God. Bleeds enemies or self to increase strength or heal allies. Has exalted Talons as melee when not carrying a normal melee weapon.
 
Baruuk: Monk frame. Has a dual-aspect “restraint” system that grants damage reduction when high, damage dealt when low.
 
Hildryn: Identifies as an apache attack helicopter. Uses shields instead of energy, has enormous shield pool, can spread shields to allies and got the better version of Vauban’s Bastille before he got nerfed reworked. Has exalted, shield powered pistol.
 
Wisp: Praise the sun. Can explosively teleport, create persistent buff wells, and open a gate to the surface of the sun and fire a beam made of the screaming souls of the damned.
 
Gauss: I AM SPEED. Abilities centered around running and dashing, with a battery charge system to power abilities.
 
Grendel: Literally Gluttony from FMA. Can eat enemies alive and use them as ability ammo and team buffs.
 
Protea: I’m already Tracer. Can drop a dispenser for health/energy/ammo pickups, a turret strangely similar to Axton’s from Borderlands 2, toss grenades that put Vauban’s grenades to shame, and has a self-rewind ability.
 
Xaku: We have such delights to show you. Void frame with abilities all over the place and relies on lackluster Void damage. Badly needs rework. Can explode into weird skeletal form.
 
Lavos: Totally NOT inspired by Chrono Trigger, even though color scheme and concept art are similar. Totally. Second “no energy” frame. Abilities are free with cooldowns. Can swap between four elements on abilities freely in combat.
 
Sevagoth: Nekros is evolving!? Reaps enemies for buffs and to charge shade. Can shift into shade form for new abilities. Second frame to have alternate downed state with self-revive mechanic, after Inaros.
 
Yareli: Yeah, really. Lackluster water abilities, egregiously kawaii animations best used on other frames for the memes. Has an unmodable K-Drive available in all missions, which works as poorly as you’d expect. Badly needs a rework.

@Azure Fang  
oh yea, i remember sadist cat steel lady and renevant being memed on but nothing after that
 
all i ever wanted was to throw sand into people’s faces  
and nidus, but fuck that grind

@TeamBlueplant  
I just did the Nidus grind all over again to feed a copy to Wallmouth… only to find out literally a day later that Nidus Prime is in the pipe. Made me want to delete my existing Nidus out of spite, though that’ll happen when I get Prime anyway. At least the extra serum injectors are good for feeding to the wall in general.

@Azure Fang  
im divided if whenever keep upgrading regular inaros or focus on getting the prime version (how does one do that anyways?)  
i dont know how nidus prime will be asthetically, since i feel like prime frames often ruin the theme by painting it all gold and white

@TeamBlueplant  
Definitely Prime. Primes are always a flat upgrade and there’s no reason to keep a standard when a Prime releases. Obtaining is exactly as you’d expect: relic cracking. As to the aesthetics, if you’ve had the standard you can wear its skin over a Prime if you like it better and still want the prime’s stats.

@Azure Fang  

collectionism

@Barhandar  
Yeah, getting a second Protea for Wallmouth broke me of that habit after four years. Been feeding my non-primes (that have primes) to the wall and selling my non-prime weapons with a melancholy smile on my face since. Now I have more empty weapon, pet, and frame slots than I know what to do with. No regrets.

@Azure Fang  
Fuck that noise, NEVER USE UP A THING

@Barhandar  
Sounds like past be arguing with myself ;)

@Azure Fang  
thiiiiis is going to be a slog, cant wait

@TeamBlueplant  
I might have Inaros relics left over from farming mine. Will check in a little bit. If I do, I’d be happy to run them with you. Parts are parts when the Ducat God is concerned.  
EDIT: Forgot to mention, but InarosP has a “hidden” passive; Baro Ki’teer will fawn over you if you wear him and offer keys to a special mission only accessible by InarosP.

@Azure Fang  
chances are most if not all of my relics are vaulted so it would be a win win since im too lazy to sell them

@TeamBlueplant  
Inaros Prime isn’t vaulted. Probably won’t be vaulted for another year.

@Azure Fang  
i meant that perhaps some of the relics i have are not in the loot pool since they are like a year old  
but, i mean, im not checking every single one of these  
 

 
i have the bad luck of doing missions like excavation or defense to get rid of relics just so the game gives me more in said missions

https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Inaros/Prime  
Yeah, some of his relics are vaulted: Axi W1/W2, Lith N6/M6, and Neo N13/T3. Doesn’t look like you have any of those.
