Best Warframe for Hijack (2026)
Last Updated on September 20, 2026
Loki is the first pick: the payload only moves by draining your shields, so the job is staying beside it, and an invisible frame that disarms the room can do that alone, even on Steel Path. Hildryn, Trinity, Mag and Harrow solve it the other way, by never running out of shields.
Researched September 19, 2026, current through Update 43.5. Picks need two independent sources; anything we could only confirm once is left out.
| Frame | Why | Build focus |
|---|---|---|
| Loki | Invisibility lets you stay on the payload unseen, and Radial Disarm takes the guns from everything near it so it stops taking fire. | duration high, range high |
| Hildryn | Her shields are her energy, and she has far more of them than anyone, so she feeds the payload without stalling. | strength high, range high |
| Trinity | Blessing restores the whole squad's shields, which is the exact resource the payload consumes. | balanced |
| Mag | At about 139 percent Ability Strength, Polarize fully restores her own shields, so she can refuel the payload on demand. | strength high |
| Harrow | Double overshield capacity, and Condemn adds overshields for every enemy it chains. | efficiency high |

Tips that save runs
- The payload loses 10 health a second on its own. Speed is the whole mission.
- More players standing next to it means it moves faster. Do not let one person push alone.
- Clear the path ahead of it, not the room behind it.
- Walk away too long and it rolls backward.
Mistakes that waste runs
- A low-shield frame with no way to restore shields. You stall constantly.
- Fighting away from the route while the payload bleeds health.
- Standing still after it stalls instead of getting back beside it.
