Warframe's latest Nightwave Mix, Amir's Shockwave, is now live, replacing Nora Night with Amir of The Hex as host. The series brings a new slate of earnable cosmetics themed around the world of Warframe: 1999.

What changed

Nightwave Mix: Amir's Shockwave

  • New rewards include the Globakk Syandana, Kaneshell Atomicycle Regalia, and Teisatz Oculus, among others described as "oh-so much more"
  • Amir of The Hex serves as host in place of the usual Nora Night

Fables & Frontiers: Running Late (separate from the Nightwave Mix)

  • A six-day KIM mini narrative adventure guided by Amir, based on the Fables & Frontiers tabletop game from the Warframe: 1999 setting
  • Unlocking it requires completing The Hex Quest's finale, reaching Rank 5 with The Hex Syndicate, and achieving a KIM Chemistry of "Close" (Rank 5) with Amir
  • Rewards include the Atomicycle Key Sugatra, Fables & Frontiers Glyphs for each Hex member, and several returning items from Nora's Mix Vol. 8
  • All rewards are redeemed from Amir via a bell interaction in a new area of The Höllvania Central Mall, exchanged for Hex Standing
  • Designated a permanent addition to the KIM System — not time-locked to the current Nightwave Mix

For players already invested in The Hex storyline, the narrative adventure offers a meaningful expansion of Amir's character, while those simply passing through can chase the cosmetic rewards without engaging with either system deeply.
