How to Get Inaros in Warframe (2026): Blueprint, Parts and Inaros Prime

Blueprint, parts, requirements and the fastest route

Last Updated on September 11, 2026

The short answer

Inaros: Sands of Inaros quest reward; the quest itself is bought from Baro Ki'Teer and built in the Foundry. Buy the quest from Baro on his next visit, build it, finish it; the whole frame comes out of the quest. Inaros Prime: Inaros Prime is vaulted; Prime Resurgence or trading only.

Reviewed September 10, 2026, current through Update 43.5. Iceblade of Narin lands September 23 and is not reflected yet; acquisition is re-checked after every major patch.
