how the hell to get Vauban?

[dodorichard]

I just got the Vauban BP as login reward and really want to build him. But I know his parts come with alerts, so how the hell do I get all the parts? I still need the systems to finish him.

How long did it take you guys to get him? I cannot wait by the laptop for his alerts to pop up, I really wish I could buy his part somewhere. 

Please help, he seems a lot of fun to play.

Tons of ways to follow alerts while not staring at screen, titter, apps, websites, if you don't want to, then wait for golden vowbown

Technically Vauban Parts drop from alerts. Time is your greatest enemy in farming this 'frame. I haven't noticed an awful lot of Vauban part alerts appearing recently.

Something to keep in mind, however, is that Vauban will soon be getting the Prime Treatment. Vauban Prime's parts will drop in the Void (I assume), and your only major obstacle there is RNG.

I personally bought Vauban for platinum because I was lazy and wanted to use him.

And if you don't want to sit by your PC for alerts, you can get the "Warframe Alerts" app for your phone, or follow @WarframeAlerts on Twitter.

So will Vauban be dropping with U19? not sure if I should by the butterfly frame or him with the plat I have saved haha.

Do you have a smart phone?  Use one of those apps to track alerts that way if you're not near your computer.  There's even the official DE Nexus app that's available for iPhone and Android.  You might even be able to filter the list so it'll alert you when Vauban's system shows up.

I got his blueprints as an event reward when I first started so I didn't have to wait for alerts, thank goodness.

Took me six months to get all his parts.

Pray to RNGesus often and good luck, tenno.

Once I decided that I wanted him, it took me 3 months, but that was me no-life-ing the game.

He is difficult to acquire, and I can confirm that I was very very happy to claim him in my foundry.

I might be broke, but Vauban Prime Access?  I'm already hoping to find some way to burn $150 on something that dumb.  XD

I've NEVER spent $150 on a game before, and usually limit myself to about $50 annual on games, so this is an unprecedented consideration.

I got all the parts in a month or two, and no you cannot have my luck they are mine.

I suggest you buy only the accessories pack, because those are the only limited things.

It took me 2,5 months to get Vauban, so it is a waiting game for sure.

Although true, that 4k platinum is obscenely tempting as well.  I'd have enough to buy everything I want for the next 4 years or so at this point, haha.

If you're on right now, Vauban system alert just popped up.   Io (Jupiter) | Extermination(Corpus) | Enemy Escorts Located | Level: 17-20

This is why this sucks, I am at work and there is no way to get play. Well,,,,I guess I will have to wait for the Prime version.

Apps with alerts are worst recommendation. See the Alert with Vauban systems while u r afk is really frustrating.
