The Conclave Syndicate
Participating in Conclave and completing the tasks will net Standing, which will allow progression in the Conclave Syndicate.
The Syndicate offers an alternative way to gain to Offerings like Conclave or Universal Mods, Augments, cosmetic items like Sigils, Syandanas, Armors, and exclusive Weapon Skins, Captura Scenes or - for the most dedicated of Conclave players - fully built Warframes!
These items can aid you in battle both against other Tenno and the enemy factions or let your Fashion Frame stand out and prove your dedication to honing your skill.
Warframe offers two ways to engage in player versus player combat:
- Duel
- Conclave
The Duelling Room
One of the rooms available in Clan’s Dojo is the Duelling Room. Here players can engage in friendly duels, test their equipment and skills.
Duels can take place in any of the Duelling Rooms once both players assume starting positions to prepare for the Duel. Any player present in the Dojo can take part in a Duel. Once both players are in place, the Duel will begin.
There are no restrictions in Duels, players can use any gear mods they choose to test their equipment, skill, or both.
The Conclave
Players can access the Conclave matchmaking through the console located in the cockpit of the Orbiter.
New players have the option to matchmake under the Recruit Conditioning ruleset, which will attempt to create lobbies of equally inexperienced players, as well as disable Rare Mods.
Recruit Conditioning is permanently disabled once the player reaches the Tempest rank within the Conclave Syndicate.
Gamemodes
Conclave offers the following gamemodes:
Annihilation and Team Annihilation
A take on classic Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch mode with a twist - players need to secure the kill by capturing enemy’s Oro, only then will it be counted. Kill can be denied if the Oro of a fallen player is captured by their teammate.
Games will last until the score or the time limit is reached.
An objective-focused alternative to Annihilation. In this mode, players are tasked to steal the Cephalon from an enemy base and deliver it to their own. The Cephalon can only be captured if the other remains at the base.
Games will last until the score or the time limit is reached.
An ancient Tenno sport, the players are tasked to deliver the Lunaro ball into the opposing team’s gate while preventing the other team from scoring goals.
In contrast to Annihilation or Cephalon Capture, this mode emphasizes movement and teamwork over direct combat.
Games will last until the score limit or the time limit has been reached.
Modding in Conclave
Mods are available in Conclave to further tailor and enhance the performance of players’ gear and Warframe.
Compared to PvE, the Mods offer significantly lesser bonuses and often come with a disadvantage for the sake of balance.
Many of the Conclave Mods are also available in Cooperative mode.
List of mods and their effects is available here.
Conclave Loadouts
Players are able to create separate Loadouts for Conclave and Cooperative modes. Those loadouts are limited to Warframe, Weapon, and Mod selection as other elements of Loadout are forbidden or unavailable in Conclave. Players can switch between Cooperative and Conclave Loadouts with a press of the button in Arsenal:
Warframes and weapons have their stats and behaviour adjusted to offer a level playing field for all players.
The effects of Forma, Reactors and Catalysts will apply in both modes.
Note: Items equipped in Conclave loadout may prevent the item from being sold.
Dedicated Servers
Players can run dedicated servers for Conclave through the launcher.
To start a dedicated server, open the Launcher, click the cog icon in the top right corner, and then press the “Start Server” button.
