Grendel Prime · Acquisition
How to get every piece
Arbitration Honors locators, then the three Europa missions. Steel Meridian or New Loka for Gourmand / Catapult / Gastro. Recruit chat 'Grendel taxi' is a lifestyle — only the host spends the locator.
If you just want Grendel
Grendel
Main blueprint from the Market (credits). Component locators cost 25 Vitus Essence each from the Arbitration Honors vendor in any Relay. Each locator unlocks a unique Europa mission (Survival / Defense / Excavation) that is guaranteed to drop that part. Mods, gear, and Operator are disabled — only the host needs the locator. Market platinum bundle is the skip.
Fastest route: Arbitration locators → Europa. Vitus Essence → Relay Honors vendor → Run them or get taxied
Need: Arbitration locators
Everything else — mods, arcanes, shards — is below. Don’t farm those to craft the Warframe.

- 2Farm 75 Vitus EssenceArbitrations drop Vitus. 25 per locator, three locators. A friend who already has a locator can taxi you for free — only the host spends it.
- 3Buy locators, run the Europa missionsArbitration Honors vendor in a Relay. Neuroptics locator → Archaeo-freighter (20-min Survival). Chassis locator → Icefields of Riddah (Defense). Systems locator → Mines of Karishh (800 Cryotic Excavation). Older guides say Essen / Titan / Kelashin — same idea, unique Europa nodes.
