How to use the Wolf Beacon & spawn the Wolf of Saturn Six in Warframe

The Warframe Wolf Beacon is a one-time use item that allows players to lure out a specific boss who can drop a series of powerful mods, blueprints, and resources for crafting. This comes as part of the Warframe Nightwave feature, which lets you earn various rewards and currency by completing challenges, with the latter letting you purchase specific items. If you need to know how the Warframe Wolf Beacon works, and how to use it in-game, we've got you covered.

Warframe Wolf Beacon: How To Use It

To use the Wolf Beacon, you will need to equip it in your gear wheel from the equipment menu. This will let you use it and spawn Wolf of Saturn Six into your mission so you can fight him. You can do this in most missions where assassins can hunt you, with some exceptions, which are: Syndicate, Assassination, Archwing, Free Roam, Arena, and Sanctuary Onslaught missions. This also goes for missions with preset assassin spawns and non-combat areas.  

When Wolf spawns, he will be flanked by three Saturn Six Fugitives with different melee weapons, and he will have his own powerful Wolf Sledge. At close range he will alternate between ground slams and horizontal swings that will produce energy projectiles. At medium range he will throw the hammer, and at long ranges he will charge through you and do whirlwind attacks that pull you in. He's immune to status effects, so you will have to just damage him consistently and keep your distance until he's dead.

Upon being killed, he has a chance of dropping a series of powerful mods, some resources, and the blueprints for his Wolf Sledge weapon, which makes it worth repeating. 

Warframe Wolf Beacon: What Is It?

The Wolf Beacon is a one-time use piece of gear that you can use to lure out the Wolf of Saturn Six on specific missions where assassins are able to spawn in. While the item can only be used once per mission and is destroyed after use, you can use them again in later missions to fight him again. To get the Wolf Beacon, you will need to purchase it from Nightwave Offerings for 50 of Nightwave Creds (Nora's Choice Cards), which can be accessed from the main menu or your navigation console.  

You can earn these creds by taking part in the Nightwave events by completing daily, weekly, and elite weekly missions which will reward you standing. Reaching certain levels of standing will then give you rewards which you can redeem from Nightwave.
