Warframe: Hotfix 38.5.1 patch notes

The first hotfix for Warframe's Techrot Encore update is already underway a few hours after release. The first hotfix after a major patch is meant to weed out outlying bugs with new content, and 38.5.1 is no different. Notably, it fixes a common crash for players trying to farm Antivirus mods from the related bounty missions, which was creating a phantom bounty that would cause a CTD.

Without further ado, here are the full patch notes for Warframe hotfix 38.5.1.

All changes in Warframe hotfix 38.5.1

No more crashing while trying to farm Antivirus mods (Image via Digital Extremes)

The first fix could possibly affect an extremely niche minority of Warframe veterans in the LR5 Rank: the maximum loadout slot number has been increased by one. This increase was missed for the launch of Temple, even though the maximum Loadout Slot is typically increased alongside each new Warframe release.

Downed Technocyte Coda will now have an invulnerable health bar to make it clear if they are downed or not in the Final Showdown.
Temple's Pyrotechnics now also targets nearby enemies instead of only enemies around your reticle.
Updated Temple's Ripper Wail ability description to clarify that extra heat damage is only applied when enemies are hit on the Backbeat.
Now reads: Ally's weapons in Affinity Range are lit-up with extra Heat Damage each time an ability is used on the Backbeat and successfully hits enemies.
Updated Parazon pop-up to clarify that Potency Mods can only be placed in the top row.
Made adjustments to Velimir's idle animation.
