How to get the Archwing Launcher Segment in Warframe

Published:

Having access to Archwing in open environments can be a significant time saver in Warframe. So getting the Archwing Launcher Segment should be a priority if you spend a lot of time on the planet; here’s how you can get it.

Where to get the Archwing Launcher Segment in Warframe

The Archwing Launcher Segment is a modification to the Orbiter that allows you to install an Archwing Launcher on your ship. As a result, this will allow you to deploy the Archwing in open areas (Cambion Drift, Plains of Eidolon, and Orb Vallis). This is absurdly useful for exploring gigantic areas, as moving around on foot will waste a lot of time.

That said, there are two ways to get the Archwing Launcher segment. The first and easiest is to purchase it directly from the Warframe marketplace. It only costs 175 Platinum, and while platinum is Warframe’s premium currency, you can earn it quite easily by selling Void-related goods to other players. I recommend collecting some uncommon items from the Void Missions and then selling them if you don’t need them. Players are always looking for these trinkets (due to their rarity); therefore, there is always a decent market for them.

Another method to obtain the Archwing Launcher Segment is joining a clanexamining it in Tenno’s laboratoryand then build it from scratch. This method will take you much longer to complete, so I do not recommend using this method, especially if you are a solo player. However, if you insist, here are the materials required to research and craft the component.

Research costs:

  • 20,000x Credits
  • 2x Tellurium
  • Pack of 5,000 polymers
  • 800x cryotic
  • 600x oxygen
  • 72 hours (real time)

Manufacturing costs:

  • 100,000x Credits
  • 50x Grokdrul
  • 50x Iradite
  • 1200x oxygen
  • 12 hours (real time)

How to exploit the Archwing Launcher in Warframe

Once you have created/purchased the Archwing Launcher segment and installed it on your Orbitor, you will have access to the Archwing Launcher. The Archwing Launcher is being considered Run in your inventory, so you need to do that first place it on the gear before you can exploit it.

Once you’re on the gear, go to any open field map and go to the Archwing Launcher on the wheel. This will automatically place our Archwing on the map. You can stay in the air indefinitely and you do endless uses for your Archwing Launcher. You can also fire your weapon while it is deployed, but you cannot exploit your Warframe’s abilities at the same time. However, you can exploit Archwing’s ability instead.
