The chilling legend of the Wolf of Saturn Six still echoes through the Origin System. This colossal Grineer fugitive, a hulking mass of alloy armor and brute strength, isn't just another target; he’s a formidable challenge for unprepared Tenno seeking the coveted Wolf Sledge. Escaping permanent capture requires cunning, the right tools, and knowledge few possess. This guide reveals how to track, confront, and ultimately conquer this infamous beast. 🐺💥

Summoning the Beast: Acquiring Wolf Beacons

Finding the Wolf isn't a matter of stumbling upon him during routine missions. He operates from the shadows, only appearing when deliberately summoned. The key lies in Wolf Beacons, specialized devices purchased from Nora Night's rotating Cred Offerings. Tenno must exchange 50 Nora's Mix Credits per beacon.

Crucially, these beacons aren't perpetually available:

• Rotation is Key: Nora's offerings change weekly. Tenno should check the store every Monday to see if the coveted beacons are present.

• Stockpile Strategy: When available, multiple beacons can be purchased at once. This is highly recommended for dedicated farming sessions aimed at securing all Wolf Sledge components.

Once acquired, the beacon must be equipped in a Gear Slot via the Orbiter's Arsenal menu. To initiate the hunt, Tenno should deploy the beacon during a suitable mission. For efficiency and minimal pressure:

• Optimal Mission Type: Low-level Capture missions (like Elion on Mercury) are ideal. They are quick and allow focus solely on the Wolf.

• Deployment: Simply open the Gear Wheel during the mission and select the equipped Wolf Beacon. Within approximately 15 seconds, the ground trembles as the Wolf arrives. 🌍➡️👹

Gearing Up for the Hunt: Essential Equipment & Mods

The Wolf boasts immense durability, starting with 200 base armor and 1500 health, values that scale alarmingly with his level. His Alloy Armor makes him highly resistant to many damage types. Victory hinges on exploiting his key weaknesses:

• Primary Weakness: Radiation Damage

• Secondary Weakness: Impact Damage

• Critical Hits: Highly effective

• Avoid: Status effects are less potent against his resilience.

Warframe Recommendation: Titania (Max Level)

Her Razorwing ability transforms her into an agile, airborne menace. Her exalted weapons, the Dex Pixia, become devastating tools against the Wolf:

• High Fire Rate & Status Chance: Shreds through health bars rapidly.

• Essential Dex Pixia Mods:

  • Hornet Strike: Max base damage. ⬆️💥

  • Lethal Torrent: Boosts fire rate and multishot.

  • Heated Charge + Convulsion: Combine to create powerful Radiation damage.

  • Target Cracker: Amplifies critical damage.

• Frame Mod: Flow (Max Rank): Doubles energy capacity for sustained Razorwing use.

Weapon Recommendation: Fulmin (Max Level)

This versatile rifle provides excellent backup and primary DPS outside Razorwing:

• Innate Impact Damage: Exploits the Wolf's secondary weakness.

• Recommended Mod Setup:

  • Serration: Essential base damage increase.

  • Stormbringer + Wildfire: Combine for significant Radiation damage boost.

  • Vital Sense: Greatly increases critical damage multiplier.

  • Speed Trigger: Faster fire rate equals more damage output.

  • (Flex Slot): Consider adding critical chance (Point Strike) or more elemental damage.

Max Level Gear: Ensure all equipment and Warframe are max rank for maximum Mod capacity and effectiveness. Preparation is half the battle!

Tactics for Triumph: Engaging and Defeating the Wolf

While the Wolf is a daunting solo challenge, Tenno have options:

1. Strength in Numbers (Recommended): Spawn him during a public mission or recruit a squad via Recruiting Chat. A coordinated team melts him in minutes, and everyone shares the rewards.

2. The Solo Path: If challenging him alone, stick to the low-level Capture mission strategy and utilize the Titania + Fulmin combination described above.

Understanding His Attacks:

• Melee Smashes: When close, he unleashes powerful overhead or sweeping attacks.

  • Counter: Roll backwards immediately. Be aware some smashes launch projectiles!

• Projectile Barrages: Often accompany his heavy melee strikes.

  • Counter: Take the high ground! Jump and utilize bullet glides for superior mobility. Staying airborne with Titania is ideal.

• Charge Attack: He will occasionally rush headlong towards his target.

  • Counter: Bullet glide laterally or use Titania's Razorwing agility to dart out of his path. Never stay grounded directly in front of him.

Key Combat Strategy:

• Maintain Mobility: Constant movement, especially verticality, is crucial. Never stand still.

• Damage Focus: Prioritize Radiation damage and Critical hits. Avoid wasting time aiming for his head; focus on consistent body shots.

• Ability & Weapon Synergy: Seamlessly switch between Titania's Razorwing (using Dex Pixia) and the Fulmin as needed, managing energy carefully.
