What are Cyte-09’s abilities in Warframe?

The concept of Cyte-09 is a stealth Warframe sniper and has been known for some time, but only recently have we learned what his abilities actually do, which are:

  • Informer: Mount an antenna displaying a forward wave scan. Detected enemies take increased damage to delicate spots and become perceptible through walls. The weapon gains penetration.
  • Supplement: Throw two packs of elemental ammo, which instantly refills the busy weapon’s clip and grants the weapon an additional instance of the selected elemental damage type and status effect. Reload removes the effect. Sniper rifles gain bonus damage.
  • Avoid: Jump back and become imperceptible for a miniature time. Weak spot kills enhance the duration and healing of Cyte-09.
  • Neutralize: Summon the Neutralizer, the great Cyte-09 sniper rifle. Bullets bounce off delicate spots, searching for other nearby delicate spots. Alternate fire throws a frosty grenade that completely freezes enemies.

The substantial question when it comes to the Cyte-09 is how its sophisticated sniper rifle will perform. It’s unclear not only how powerful this unit will be, but also what exactly its mechanics are and how they might interact with Cyte-09’s other abilities. We don’t have those answers yet, but Warframe: 1999 it’s not too far.

Overall, the mood is high. Many in the community are excited about another stealth frame being added to the game, the prospect of a great sniper rifle that many find fresh and engaging, and the Cyte-09 kit seems to appeal to many Warframes fans. However, some people have concerns.

Taking into account Warframes the meta is so focused on AoE damage potential, especially when it comes to weapons, that some fear the sniper rifle may not keep up with higher-tier content. Some are already anticipating replacing the Cyte-09 sniper rifle with something else.

Others wonder how “missiles bouncing off weak spots to look for other weak spots” will work in the context of the overall Cyte-09 stack, and whether this ricochet force will be enough to easily defeat tough enemies or not. This is all speculation here and now, of course.
