Warframe Nightwave Series 3 Glassmaker update 27.5.0 – Patch notes

The Glassmaker kicks off at 2pm ET, bringing a new Nightwave Series to Warframe. We will be trying to solve a murder mystery this time, as victims are being turned into blocks of glass. We’ll be following clues as we try to figure out what is happening, but other changes are coming as well.

There are lots of new Acts to complete to get those nifty Nightwave points that will earn us lots of rewards. You can also pick up a particularly nice look Ash skin that has been added to the game. The real meat of the update will be revealed in a little under an hour when the update goes live, but for now, you can check out the full patch notes below.
