Best Warframe for Rescue Missions

Uncategorized

Last Updated on September 9, 2026

Loki wins this one, no contest. Irradiating Disarm strips every gun in the room so Wardens can’t shoot the hostage, then Switch Teleport yanks them clear. Ivara’s the backup pick for stealth runs: invisibility plus a Cloak Arrow that hides the hostage too.

Cheap frame to build. Augments help but you don’t need them.

Ivara: invisible extraction

Prowl keeps you invisible the whole run, and Cloak Arrow hides the hostage right alongside you. Sleep Arrow clears Wardens without tripping a single alarm.

Runs fine stock, no mods required.

Limbo: rift through gunfire

Step into the Rift and gunfire just doesn’t touch you on the approach. Cataclysm then locks Wardens out of the room entirely.

Takes more farming than the others. Vauban’s Bastille is the cheaper alternative.

Honorable mentions

  • Wisp: squad buffs are solid, but players disagree on whether her healing actually reaches the hostage.
  • Gauss: raw sprint speed alone rushes the objective.
  • Titania: Razorwing flight outpaces most frames.
  • Mesa: Peacemaker deletes a Warden room in seconds.
