How do you get Nekros in Warframe?

Nekros parts drop at Deimos/Magnacidium (Assassination), at up to 33.33% per reward roll. You need 3 parts, then build the frame in your Foundry.

How long does Nekros take to build?

The finished Nekros 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 Nekros or trade for Nekros Prime?

Base Nekros is not tradeable, so farming is the only route to it. Nekros Prime is tradeable and its set currently sells for around 95p on warframe.market — often the faster option if you only want the frame rather than the mastery.

How to Get Nekros

There is a reaper whose name is Nekros. He provides deathly crowd control. Erstwhile enemies become allies when Nekros calls up recruits from the dead.

Other frames to farm

Farm it, or trade for the Prime

Base Nekros cannot be traded — no player can sell you one, so the drops above are the only route to it. Nekros Prime is tradeable, and its set goes for about 95p. 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.
