Warframe 1999: The Ultimate Guide to Obtaining and Crafting the Riot-848 Entrati Pistol

Tenno, looking to add a truly unique sidearm to your arsenal? Look no further than the Riot-848. This isn't your grandfather's automatic pistol. While it might look like a familiar full-auto secondary from a bygone era, it's been warped and empowered by the mysterious energies of the Entrati. The real kicker? Its spent ammunition magically feeds back into the magazine between reloads, letting you lay down a truly ridiculous amount of sustained fire. It's a weird weapon to get used to, but for those willing to invest some Forma, it becomes an absolute monster. But before you can build that perfect crit-slash hybrid, you gotta get your hands on it first. This guide covers everything from farming locations to crafting mats, updated for 2026.

So, where do you even start? The Riot-848 is a reward from the Solstice Square Defense mission in Hollvania. First things first, you gotta unlock access to the Warframe 1999 content by completing the "The Hex" questline. Once that's done, head to the 1999 terminal in your Orbiter to access the Hollvania mission map. Solstice Square is the node chilling in the top-left corner.

This mission plays out just like a classic Lua Defense: your job is to protect Flare from waves of enemies. But here's the twist: after the first three waves, the whole stage collapses, and Flare drops down into the sewers below. He'll stay there for the rest of the mission. This underground area is way more cramped and has way more enemy spawn points. Translation? The waves come at you much faster if your loadout is strong enough to handle it. It's pure, chaotic fun.

Now, for the loot. The Riot-848's components (Blueprint, Barrel, Receiver, Stock) can drop from any reward rotation in Solstice Square. That's A, B, and C. However, the drop chances get significantly better the longer you stay. Remember the classic Defense reward rotation? It's AABC, repeating every set of waves. You get a reward every 3 waves. So plan for a long haul if you're after those sweet, sweet C rotation odds.

RNG not on your side? Don't sweat it, Tenno. Warframe 1999 has a fantastic pity system. You can buy all the Riot-848 blueprints directly from Flare himself in the Hollvania hub area. The currency you need is called Beating Heartstrings, which you earn for every successful wave clear in the defense mission. To buy the whole set (Blueprint + 3 parts), you'll need a total of 300 Beating Heartstrings. It's a great backup plan if the parts just won't drop.

Alright, you've finally got all the blueprints! Time to head to your Foundry. Here's the breakdown of what you'll need to craft each part and the final gun. Get your resource farming checklist ready! :white_check_mark:

Pro-Tips for Your Farm:

• Squad Up! The Solstice Square defense is way more efficient and fun with a full squad. Bring a nuker frame (like Saryn or Mesa) to clear waves quickly, and maybe a support like Trinity or Wisp to keep everyone topped up.

• Resource Prep: Notice those Entrati Lanthorns and Bellow Vocas? Those are Deimos resources. Make sure you've got a decent stockpile from your Cambion Drift runs before you start crafting.

• Endurance Run: If you're going for drops, commit to at least a C rotation (12 waves). The jump from ~1% to ~4.5% chance is huge and makes the time investment worth it.

The Riot-848 is a testament to the wild, anachronistic design of Warframe 1999. It blends old-school aesthetics with bleeding-edge Entrati tech to create a secondary that's both fun and formidable. The farm might take some patience, but the end result—a pistol that barely needs to reload—is absolutely worth the effort. Now get out there, defend Flare, and may RNGesus be ever in your favor! :crossed_fingers:
