How do you get Frost in Warframe?

Frost parts drop at Ceres/Exta (Assassination), at up to 38.72% per reward roll. You need 3 parts, then build the frame in your Foundry.

How long does Frost take to build?

The finished Frost takes 72 hours in the Foundry and costs 25,000 credits. Each component has its own build time on top of that.

Should I farm Frost or trade for Frost Prime?

Base Frost is not tradeable, so farming is the only route to it. Frost Prime is tradeable and its set currently sells for around 78p on warframe.market — often the faster option if you only want the frame rather than the mastery.

How to Get Frost

When Frost steps onto the battlefield, enemies experience a chill. Frost’s attacks control crowds, protect objectives, and increase survivability. Wield the biting cold.

Components build in parallel, so the wall-clock minimum is the slowest component plus final assembly — rushing with platinum skips the wait entirely. Figures are Digital Extremes’ own recipe data.

Other frames to farm

Farm it, or trade for the Prime

Base Frost cannot be traded — no player can sell you one, so the drops above are the only route to it. Frost Prime is tradeable, and its set goes for about 78p. If you want the frame rather than the mastery rank, buying the Prime is usually quicker than grinding the base.

Drop locations, chances and enemy levels come from the official drop tables and the regions export, re-read daily. Where a mission node could not be matched to a level band we show the node without levels rather than guessing a range — sending you into content you cannot clear would be worse than saying nothing.
