Uranus (Warframe)

Uranus is a planet on Warframe, and the tenth/eleventh planet that the player can access. The planet is unlocked by completing the Uranus Junction on Jupiter, and all of its levels, excluding the Dark Sectors, are on Grineer's faction.

Why it Sucks

1. All of the mission nodes, excluding Stephano and Umbriel, requires the player to have at least an Archwing built. This includes the assassination node.
   • As a result, trying to get a taxi from other players, including friends or guildmates, will be useless.
   • This also applies if, when you're doing the quest from Darvo, "A Man of Few Words", you decide to do the normal mission.
2. High Difficulty: If a novice that needs to complete "A Man of Few Words" decides to do a normal mission, they will meet with enemies that isn't supposed to fight yet.
3. The movement on an Archwing in the water is clunky and slow, which might force you to either get an Itzal, or place Hyperion Thrusters on your current archwing (the mod with the most expensive mod capacity when upgraded).
4. The enemies that you meet, the Drekar units are strong variants of the normal Grineer units, and can pose a difficult fight (especially the elite lancers, as they can deal heavy damage).
5. One of the defense/interception mission's tileset is an excavation site, and should you play a Defense Mission, the Cryopod will constantly change its position, forcing the player to move to another location.
   • In fact, if the player uses any warframe that creates a shield, such as Gara, Frost or Limbo, they will be forced to move to the active cryopod to place another shield.
6. The spy mission node, Rosalind. Let that sink, especially with a team, and even more, if it's on a Sortie or on an Alert.
7. The junction for Neptune requires the player to complete 5 of any of Uranus's missions with only melee, and to find three grineer caches on a Sabotage mission on Uranus. The first one is actually easy to do if you have good melee weapons, but the second one may require you to get Animal Instinct and/or Thief's Wit (two mods that can show resources, including the Resource Cache).
8. In order to get Equinox, you have to get both her Day and Night form parts, as well as the main blueprints. And after that, you require a forma to actually obtain her.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Tyl Regor, the boss of Uranus, is the best part of the planet:
   • Along Vay Hek, he's one of the grineers that sees the Lotus as an actual threat.
   • Very good design, as well with a good voice.
   • His two weapons, The Ack & Brunt and the Knux, respectively a melee weapon and an arch-melee weapon, can be researched on a Grineer lab.
     • The Ack & Brunt is a Sword & Shield weapon that comes with a decent crit chance (being 20%) and the ability to gain charges on blocking elemental damage, which can stack up to 70%.
     • The Knux is one of the best arch-melee weapons, as it has the highest status chance of all the arch-melee weapons (boasting a 30% status chance), and is tied with Kaszas for the second highest damage.
   • His boss fight is pretty unique, as at each phase, he fires his Knux on the glass roof, filling the room with water and requiring you to get up.
2. You can find Oculysts, the first sentients that gives you the Natah quest when scanned.
3. Both "A Man of Few Words" and "Natah" are good quests, and the rewards are nice.
   • Also, Natah marks the introduction of Hunhow, a large sentient that Tyl Regor accidentaly released from his cage.
4. The boss drops parts of Equinox (however, as WIS#08 says, they are split in two forms), a good Warframe for levelling up gear.
5. Since Uranus is a planet that requires an Arch-wing, enemies have a chance to drop Tellurium. Not only that, but it also has Polymer Bundles and Plastids, as well as Gallium, making it a good planet to farm those four resources.
6. It's the only planet where its Sabotage mission can have one of the objectives, either destroying drones or killing a Manic Bomber.
7. At least its Tileset is not confusing, unlike a certain planet...
