Warframe's Operation Plague Star Returns Alongside Banshee Rework Preview

Warframe brings back Operation Plague Star on the Plains of Eidolon, while giving players a first look at the upcoming Banshee rework.

Ready to grind Lephantis again on the Plains of Eidolon? Warframe's Operation Plague Star is back, and if you've played it before, you know exactly what that means: a lot of repeated fights against the towering Infested boss, all while hoping someone in your squad brought Volt or Nova to make the long trek across the map a little less painful.

For those who haven't experienced it, Operation Plague Star is a recurring event that tasks Tenno with taking down Lephantis multiple times. The twist? You're doing it on the Plains of Eidolon, which means plenty of open-world traversal between fights. A Volt or Nova can speed things up considerably, but without one, you're in for a lot of running. The event has a reputation for being a grind, and this latest run seems to be no different.

But that's not all that's happening in Warframe right now. Digital Extremes is also giving players a preview of the upcoming Banshee rework. While full details are still under wraps, the studio is clearly looking to refresh the sound-based Warframe's kit. Banshee has long been a favorite for her crowd control and damage amplification, but she's also been criticized for being fragile and somewhat one-note in higher-level content. A rework could address those pain points and bring her more in line with modern Warframe design.

For now, though, the focus is on Operation Plague Star. If you're planning to dive in, you'll want to prepare for a serious time investment. The event is known for its repetitive nature, and the community has often joked about the sheer number of Lephantis kills required to earn the best rewards. Still, for dedicated Tenno, it's a chance to stock up on valuable items and maybe even snag some exclusive gear.

As for the Banshee rework, we'll have to wait for more information from Digital Extremes. The preview suggests that changes are coming, but whether they'll be enough to make Banshee a top-tier pick remains to be seen. Players have been asking for adjustments to her abilities for a while, so this is a welcome sign that the developers are listening.

In the meantime, if you're jumping into Operation Plague Star, don't forget to coordinate with your squad. A well-timed Volt Speed or Nova portal can make all the difference when you're crossing the Plains for the umpteenth time. And if you're a Banshee fan, keep an eye out for more details on her rework—it could be a game-changer for your favorite frame.
