How to get the Phenmor in Warframe
In Warframe, you can find various weapons that have been altered by the Void with powerful buffs, and the Phenmor is amongst the most powerful of these exclusive guns.
The game is chock-full of different weapon types that can be altered further from their standard form, allowing you to find a playstyle that suits you based on your equipment.
If you're on the hunt for the Phenmor, or just need a recommendation for something to take on your next incursion, here's how to get it.
How to get the Phenmor
To get the Phenmor, you will need to build it yourself or trade for it.
If you're going the building route, you'll first need to purchase the blueprint from Cavalero, a Holdfast vendor in the centre of the Chrysalith hub on Zariman.
It costs 6000 Standing (or you can trade for it) and you'll be required to be a rank two member of the Holdfast syndicate.
Once you have the blueprint, you can build it with the following:
- 30,000 Credits
- 15 Voidplume Pinion
- 20 Voidplume Quill
- 6000 Alloy Plate
- 15 Entrati Lanthorn
It will take 24 hours to manufacture, but it can be rushed for 35 Platinum.
What is the Phenmor?
Click to enlargeThe Phenmor is an Incarnon ceremonial rifle that has been evolved from exposure to the Void to become more powerful. This means that even though it's a semi-automatic rifle in its standard form, after hitting headshots it will temporarily transform to become a fully automatic weapon that deals bonus radiation damage.
You'll need to hit 12 headshots to activate this form, and it will last until the 408-round magazine is expired, or you press alt-fire.
In its standard mode, it deals mostly slash damage but also deals some puncture damage that is removed in the Incarnon form. In addition to this extra form, the weapon itself can be evolved up to five times by meeting certain criteria and visiting Cavalero to choose perks.

The five upgrades and their criteria are in the table below.
