Orokin Cell Farming in Warframe (2026): Gabii Survival and Tethys Boss Runs
Gabii on Ceres for volume, Tethys on Saturn for a quick boss run
Last Updated on September 30, 2026
The short answer
Orokin Cells drop on Ceres, Saturn and Deimos only. Farm Gabii (Ceres) Survival for its 35% resource bonus with Nekros Desecrate or Khora and Pilfering Strangledome. For a short run, kill General Sargas Ruk on Tethys (Saturn) while Xaku or Limbo breaks every container.

Best farming frames
| Frame | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Nekros | Loot roller | Desecrate rerolls corpse drop tables during a long Survival. |
| Khora | Loot roller | Strangledome with Pilfering Strangledome adds extra loot from held enemies. |
| Xaku | Container breaker | The Vast Untime breaks containers in range on a boss run. |
| Limbo | Container breaker | Cataclysm pulls in and breaks containers around you. |
Tips that save runs
- Bosses and Sentient enemies can drop Orokin Cells, so any boss run is worth a look.
- Maximize Power Range on Xaku or Limbo so more containers break per pass.
- Dark Sector missions add a resource drop bonus, and Gabii is one of them.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Farming Cells on planets that do not drop them. Only Ceres, Saturn and Deimos do.
- Leaving containers unbroken on a boss run.
