Warframe Update 43
Jade Shadows: Constellations Wiki
Your complete guide to Update 43 — Sirius & Orion, Uranus Proxima, and everything in Jade Shadows: Constellations.
Jade Shadows: Constellations (Update 43) launched worldwide on June 17, 2026 across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. This major Warframe expansion delivers the first true dual Warframe — Sirius and Orion — two celestial brothers who share a single Warframe slot and coordinate their abilities through a brand-new Constellation Star system. Alongside the brothers come signature heavy scythes Pride and Wrath, a reworked Nidus, several new Arcane Enhancements, and an entire Railjack region carved into the ice clouds of Uranus Proxima.
Sirius and Orion represent a fundamental shift in Warframe design. Each brother has his own ability set: tap and hold inputs trigger different effects, and successful ability use generates colored Constellation Stars that fuel Celestial Clash — a devastating ultimate that scales with star count and color matching. Understanding primary versus secondary son rules, Helminth restrictions, and Gear Wheel display logic is essential before investing Forma and Arcanes into your build.
Uranus Proxima is the expansion's open-world Railjack theater, featuring Pontis Tower as a central hub, Aid missions against Ryoku and Vena, token economies built around Crimson and Emerald Talent, and exclusive Arcane drops. Crucially, you do not need to build your own Railjack to participate — public matchmaking, crew recruitment, and guest-pilot mechanics let every Tenno access Proxima content from day one without a drydock investment.
Access to Constellations content is gated behind two mandatory quest prerequisites: The New War and Jade Shadows. Once both are complete, the full quest line, cooking puzzle segments, boss encounters, and endgame farming loops unlock. This wiki organizes every detail — from step-by-step walkthroughs and boss strategies to token pity rates and hidden Signa room locations — so veterans returning after a break and new players alike can progress efficiently through Update 43.
