With the eternal power creep of Warframe, the massive Archguns have felt a little out of step with the rest of the game. In lore, these colossal weapons are designed to punch holes in spaceships, but in missions, there is rarely a strong reason to switch to them due to performance limitations.
Thankfully, this has now been addressed. Archguns have become a unique weapon class in the game because they can use both Primary and Secondary Arcanes, making them far more viable and versatile in combat.
### How to Get Archgun Arcane Adapters in Warframe
To obtain Archgun Arcane Adapters, you need to visit **Nightcap**, a new NPC introduced in The Vallis Undermind update. You can find Nightcap in Fortuna, but only if you have completed *The New War* quest.
When you spawn in Fortuna, turn left and look for a mushroom- and fungus-covered grate. Nightcap can be found behind this grate, in an area known as **The Airlock**.
Talking to Nightcap allows you to take on bounties in the new area beneath Fortuna. Completing these bounties will earn you Standing, which helps you level up Nightcap’s Syndicate.
Once you reach **Rank 3** in Nightcap’s Syndicate, you can start using **Fegolyte**—a resource gained from his bounties—to purchase Archgun Arcane Adapters.
### Additional Requirements and Tips
Each Arcane Adapter requires a sacrifice when you level it up, so be sure to pay close attention to the specific requirements. You will need to farm different types of mushrooms during your missions in the **Deepmines** to meet these demands.
Furthermore, Archgun Arcane Adapters can also be earned as rewards for bounties in the Deepmines when played on **Steel Path difficulty**. Make sure to check bounty rewards carefully to maximize your chances of acquiring these valuable adapters.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to bolster your Archguns with powerful Arcanes, making them a formidable option once again in your Warframe arsenal.
