Prime Access

[RedPharaoh0817]

Was willing to get the prime access but not right away... any ideas how long the prime access usually lasts?

[Meenmu]

Pretty much until the next prime frame comes out I would guess. Those usually come on the bigger-ish updates. Worst case scenario, you miss this one and end up getting the prime access that comes next.

One week before the next prime is released. Which is aprox. 2 and a half months.

I don't expect us to get a new prime with U14, seeing as we just got Loki Prime. I do expect us to get the new frame revealed in the Breeding Grounds event mods, though. You should still have some time to get the current Prime Access.

Um... I think it's somewhere around three months.

 

 

The Warframe Wikia does not have the release dates for the Prime Access packs, so I can't know for sure. Maybe I can find release announcements somewhere here on the forums to give you a rough estimate.

 

 

EDIT: So, here's what I managed to find.

 

So, here's a thread announcing the end of Ember Prime.

This one is announcing the end of Rhino Prime.

The Warframe pictured on those mods is not a Prime Warframe, just so you know.

 

I'm not saying that's what you are insinuating, but I've seen people who are under the impression that it is Saryn Prime. (Derp. Just saying because you brought her up.)

Yes it is possible for the next prime warframe to not have a Prime access but is not very probable.

 

There has only been three prime access. Ember, Rhino and the current with Loki. Excal got founders. Frost was obtainable from a event. Mag was only Void RNG obtainable.

so this would mean that the next prime would not have a prime access making the loki prime access still available right?

Prime Access usually lasts ~ 3 months with a couple of weeks in between.

No. What I wrote means that it is possible for DE to decide the removal of the prime access, meaning it would be on hold or be gone forever. There is always a (small) possibility of that to happen, but is not likely as is a (big?) source of income for them.
