Fortuna and Orb Vallis: General Map
Under the dense clouds of Venus the city of Fortuna rises, a settlement populated by Solarians. Here you can see all the information about this new open area in Warframe
The clouds of Venus rise up and expose The Orb Vallis and the settlement of Fortuna, populated by Solarians, a society hardened by centuries of tough work and a terrible life conditions. They are survivors, because only the ones who can adapt survive here.
As you can see, the Solarians have had to modify their own bodies, improving them with Corpus technology or reinventing their own nature. These are the sacrifices the Solarians must do to be able to follow the wild rhythm of this settlement and keep their families alive.
Well Tenno, all the information you will find here is based on all we know to this day about Fortuna. Everything, absolutely everything is information without official confirmation. So, until we can land with our ships in the settlement and see with our own eyes the reality of Fortuna and the Solarians, we can only tell you the news the developers announce.
Remember that you can fast travel across the Fortuna settlement. You can access to this option through the menu.
Fortuna: Merchants
Eudico: Bounties and Solarian Standing
Our main contact in the Fortuna settlement will be Eudico. Eudico is the leader of Solaris United group. A Solarian rebel faction who defend them and represent the interests of their people in front of the Tenno. When you speak with her you can access to the bounties she offers and see the rewards you obtain when you finish the different stages successfully.
Eudico also gives you access to the information about your situation with the Solarians. Here you can see the amount of Solarian Standing you have, and when you have enough, increase your rank. Something essential to have access to the best gear this faction can offer.
When you accumulate enough Solarian standing points, you can use them as currency to buy the goods offered by the merchants of Fortuna.
Rude Zuud: Kitguns
If you have ever dreamed about creating your own secondary energy weapons, Zuud gives you the opportunity to do it here, in Fortuna. The possibilities he offer are quite impresive, and to be able to obtain the one which suits your play style better you need to accumulate a considerable amount of Solarian Standing.
Legs: MOA Companions
The MOAs are no longer merely minor objectives which stand in your way. Now the can also be companions who aids you in combat to reach your waypoint easily, accomplish your objective and return to your ships leaving behind a trail of death and destruction.
The Business, “Biz”: Fishing & Hunting
It seems that the Orokin Empire leave behind an important amount of “servofishes” which helped with the terraforming process on Venus. These mechanical fishes are part of the local fauna, and the have precious resources for the Solarians.
Apart of the Orokin heritage, in the settlement of Forutna you can also see the Corpus influence. The Corpus are known by its obsessive pursuit of benefits, that’s the only thing they care about. In this case, the Corpus action has left a significant number of species in danger of extinction. That’s where we can help Biz to capture these species for its conservation. Not everything is killing or destroying, Tenno… at least not always.
Smokefingers: Mining
Fortuna and the Orb Vallis have brought a ton of novelties, like a new Mining system. This system is to pierce the rock with a sustained beam until it reaches the appropriate temperature to extract each kind of material.
Talk with Smokefinger to discover everything related with Orb Vallis Mining.
The Vallis: Locations
In the Orb Vallis you can find caves, rivers and lakes. Enter in weird forests with giant fungus and go to places where huge towers and Corpus statues rise. Getting lost will be quite easy in the Orb Vallis, so watch your steps, Tenno.
Resources: Mining, Fishing, Special Resources and Other Resources
In your expeditions through the Vallis you can find mineral veins and gems which can be extracted using the proper tools.
Fishing will be something different, because the “Servo-Fish” are synthetic animals the Orokin Empire left behind in its attempt to terraform Venus.
As for the Special Resources and Other Resources we will have to wait until we can set our foot in the Orb Vallis to check it, but we are sure that we will find new and interesting resources with infinite possibilities.
Equipment: Garuda Warframe, Weapons, Kitguns, Mods, MOAs and Sentinels
As you have already seen in some Devstreams is expected that, with Fortuna and the Orb Vallis appear new Corpus weapons among many other things.
The most anticipated of all is the appearance of the Garuda Warframe, who was shown for the first time in TennoCon 2018. Its possibilities are promising and we are waiting its arrival to be able to put our hands on him and check them first-hand.
The Kitguns are weapons based in the free configuration we already seen with the Zaws. In this occasion we can count with a large amount of configuration options for the Secondary Weapons based on Corpus Technology.
Missions: Bounties and Railjack
In Fortuna you can talk with Eudico to accept different available Bounties. Like in the Plains there will be different bounties in which you can obtain, when you successfully complete them, an interesting amount of rewards.
Moreover, along with Fortuna and the Orb Vallis is expected the appearance of a new cooperative mission which reminds a bit of the Raids. In this mission you will have to lead and space strike with a new assault ship against huge Corpus ships in orbit.
To complete these missions you will have to coordinate yourselves with the rest of the squadron, because each one will have a different and crucial objective for the success of the mission. You will need to have a pilot, a gunner and an assault team who board the Corpus Destroyer to blow its energy core.
Everything suggests that this will be a real challenge to overcome and that it will not be easy. The rewards, characteristics and variants are still unknown. However the developers said there will be clan investigations which affect the Railjack among many other aspects.
Orb Vallis Movement: K-Drives and Archwings
Move on foot through the Vallis won’t be for everyone’s taste, because is a huge terrain with an important amount of challenges, dangers and threats behind every corner.
For this reason and thinking about the experience in the Plains of Eidolon, we can count on two movement options in the Vallis, being the first one the Archwing. Archwing use in the Vallis will be very similar to its use in the Plains.
The K-Drive “hoverboard” will be the second movement option, and it not only be for move through the Vallis, because we also earn standing points for one of the Fortuna Factions when we makes acrobatics with it.
To be honest, those who move on foot you will have the chance to see details you won’t see other way, as well as uncover hidden areas and places where you can mine, fish and obtain all kinds of resources.
Enemies: Corpus and Orb Mothers
In the Orb Vallis keep in mind that we are inside Corpus territory, and we will find many new units, vehicles and many other threats. For many Tenno this will be a challenge, however, others will call it entertainment.
Moreover you can also see and face some dangerous enemies, the Orb Mothers. These Juggernauts, huge mechanical beasts similar to four legged insects with a thick hull, move through the Vallis devastating everything on their path. If what the Developers said is true, there will be 4 different Orb Mothers which appear in different areas of the map.
One difference respect to Eidolons is that the Orb Mothers do not depend on the Day/Night Cycle, being able to find them patrolling anytime.
Quest: Vox Solaris
Vox Solaris is a Quest where you can obtain the Garuda. Here you have a complete guide of this Quest totally spoiler free, Tenno.
That’s all we can find out about this new open area in Warframe. Remember that until the day you can enter Fortuna all of this may change. And talking about WHEN, When do you think we can enter in the mysterious and dangerous surface of Venus? Will be this summer when we can enter Fortuna? Autum maybe? Either way it will be soon, What do you think, Tenno?
Be careful out there.
