With the eternal power creep of Warframe, the massive Archguns have felt a little out of step with the rest of the game. In lore, these colossal weapons are designed to punch holes in spaceships, but in missions, there hasn’t often been a strong reason to switch to them due to performance limitations.
Thankfully, that issue has now been addressed. Archguns have become a unique weapon class in the game because they can now use both Primary and Secondary Arcanes, significantly boosting their effectiveness.
### How to Get Archgun Arcane Adapters in Warframe
To obtain Archgun Arcane Adapters, you’ll need to visit Nightcap, a new NPC introduced in *The Vallis Undermind* update. Nightcap can be found in Fortuna, but only if you have completed *The New War* quest.
When you spawn in Fortuna, turn left, and you’ll notice a mushroom- and fungus-covered grate. Nightcap resides beyond this entrance, in an area known as The Airlock.
### Interacting with Nightcap
Talk to Nightcap to take on Bounties in the new area beneath Fortuna. Completing these bounties will earn you Standing, allowing you to level up Nightcap’s Syndicate.
Once you reach Rank 3 in Nightcap’s Syndicate, you can use a resource called Fegolyte—earned during his bounties—to purchase the Archgun Arcane Adapters.
### Important Notes on Farming and Sacrifices
Keep in mind that each level-up requires a sacrifice. Pay close attention to the specific requirements for each one, as you will need to farm different mushroom types during your missions in the Deepmines.
Additionally, Archgun Arcane Adapters can also be earned as rewards for bounties completed in the Deepmines on Steel Path difficulty. Be sure to check the reward details for each bounty if you want to maximize your chances of obtaining these adapters.

By following these steps and investing time in Nightcap’s bounties and syndicate progression, you can equip your Archguns with powerful Arcanes and bring these massive weapons back into the spotlight.
