This discreet rocket launcher is equally at home in a board meeting or on a casual outing. Aimed rockets are wire-guided for greater accuracy, but travel more slowly. The patented Granum Attaché System reloads the weapon when holstered.
Tenet Envoy is a unique Tenet rocket launcher shooting missiles that can be guided while aiming, and is able to reload while holstered.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon deals innate
Impact damage from grenade impact and 
Cold damage on explosion. - Rocket explode in a 8 meter radius after impacting a surface or enemy.
- Aiming will cause fired rockets to travel toward the aiming reticle, allowing them to be guided.
- Allows firing rockets from behind cover.
- Reloads 10% of its magazine per second while holstered.
- Fairly large magazine capacity of 8 rounds for an explosive-based weapon.
- Comes with an additional bonus Impact,
Heat, Cold, 
Electricity, 
Toxin, 
Magnetic, or 
Radiation damage, based on the Sister's progenitor Warframe, which increases the listed base damage of the weapon by 25%-60%.
- Valence Fusion can optionally change the resulting output damage type, and can upgrade the bonus increase (up to 60%).
- Polarizing the weapon increases its max rank by 2, capping at rank 40 after 5 polarizations, granting the weapon additional mod capacity.
- Listed Mastery Rank requirement is not enforced - the weapon may theoretically be obtained at any mastery rank by acquiring and vanquishing a Sister that has this weapon equipped.

Acquisition[]
Tenet Envoy is obtained by vanquishing a Sister who generated with one equipped. After the Sister is vanquished it will be in the player's Foundry ready to claim.
While the weapon itself is not tradeable, a converted Sister generated with the weapon can be traded to another player. The trade is performed inside a Clan Dojo's Crimson Branch room, and the recipient must not have any active Lich or Sister. Once traded, the recipient must fight and vanquish the Sister to claim their weapon.
Notes[]
- The Tenet Envoy is currently the only launcher with an automatic trigger, allowing a player to simply hold the trigger to launch consecutive rockets. This can prove somewhat disadvantageous while trying to redirect the rockets by aiming against enemies at relatively short ranges due to the recoil of launching a new rocket causing the aim to be disrupted.
- While aiming, the rockets will make an audible beeping noise. When aiming at a target, the beeping intensifies and the rocket flashes brightly.
- Rockets have a lifespan of 6 seconds regardless if they are being aimed or not, automatically detonating once that time has elapsed.
- While holstered, the attaché case's components will rumble and make an audible sound for each unit of ammo reloaded.
- Projectile speed seems to be 20 m/s while aiming and manually guiding the projectiles, and 40 m/s for unguided projectiles.
- Terminal Velocity will only affect unguided projectiles, for a final speed of 64 m/s.
- When using Heavy Caliber and multishot mods such as Split Chamber, additional rockets fired will fly parallel to the main rocket and not converge at the point of impact.
- Cannot be reloaded while a missile is being manually guided.
- Both the initial shot and explosion seem to be silent despite having an "Alarming" noise level; a one-shot kill on a group of enemies will award the stealth kill affinity bonus, and nearby enemies will not be alerted as long as they did not witness this. However, firing the weapon will still break
Ivara's 
Prowl unless the Hush mod is equipped.
Kuva/Tenet Notes[]
- For weapons obtained from vanquishing the Kuva Lich or Sister:
- The player does not have to meet the Mastery Rank displayed to obtain this weapon. It can simply be claimed from the foundry after the Lich/Sister carrying it has been vanquished.
- The weapon will have a prefix of the name of the Lich/Sister it was acquired from (e.g. a Kuva Kohm might be called "Odizrigg Agekk Kuva Kohm").
- Refraining from Mercy killing an Adversary candidate will remove their weapon from the pool of potential Adversary weapons until each has been refused, but only if the mission is completed. Weapons rejected from aborted missions will remain in the current cycle.
- For weapons obtained from Ergo Glast's shop:
- The player must meet the Mastery Rank displayed to obtain this weapon, as it is claimed from an NPC shop rather than the foundry.
- The weapon's max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per Forma added).
- Additional polarizations can be added when the weapon reaches its new max rank at that polarization level.
- Each additional rank also gives 100 Mastery Rank experience, giving 4,000 points in total at level 40.
- Mod capacity scales with the additional ranks, and can reach a total of 80 at rank 40 with an Orokin Catalyst installed.
- Without an Orokin Catalyst, the max is 40. Combined with the five polarized mod slots required to reach that point, an Orokin Catalyst might not be required for some beginner-friendly builds as they typically use less mod capacity.
- After polarizing a weapon, any additional mod capacity above 30 (60 with an Orokin Catalyst) will not take effect until the weapon's rank reaches 31 and above.
- Legendary Mastery Rank increases the minimum mod capacity for such weapons, without the weapon needing to be rank 31 and above. For example, Legendary 1 increases the minimum capacity to 31 (62 with an Orokin Catalyst).
- Comes with an additional damage stat.
- For Lich/Sister-obtained weapons this is dependent on the Warframe that summoned the Lich/Sister.
- For Ergo Glast shop a random bonus stat will be offered for each weapon and changed every 4 days (96 hours).
- This damage stat randomly ranges between 25%-60%. It can be upgraded up to its maximum value with Valence Fusion using another copy of the weapon.
- This bonus stat is considered a base damage type and will be applied after all elemental mods for the purposes of elemental combinations.

Tips[]
Trivia[]
- The explosions resulting from the rockets fired by the Tenet Envoy briefly show Corpus lettering and iconography, which translate to: "Analysing Projected Revenue Forecast", "Integrating Offset Sector Income Differential", "Power In Prosperity, Prosperity In Victory", and "Full System Analysis in Progress".
- While sheathed and while reloading, the weapon folds up into an attaché case.
- When aiming, the Warframe will put the weapon up close to their helmet and a laser sight will appear from the front, implying the guidance system is optical-based.
- The Tenet Envoy’s name may be in refrence to a Envoy, which is a representative of a government, which would also play into the briefcase shape that the Envoy folds into.

Patch History[]
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Ammo Changes
We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.
Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.
Primary Weapon Ammo Pick Up Overrides
4 Ammo per Pick Up:
- Tenet Envoy
Many weapons have also had their maximum ammo capacity adjusted.
Primary Weapons:
- Tenet Envoy: From 24 to 16
- Headshot Damage Changes
During playtesting, the ammo changes alone weren’t enough to significantly change things for AoE weapons. So instead of tightening these values to be overly restrictive, we chose to address other factors that make these weapons so strong, such as headshot damage.
Our approach here is two-fold, to reduce the impact of headshots for AOE weapons, but to also make precision headshots pack a larger punch overall.
- Radial damage no longer gains extra headshot damage or triggers headshot conditions.
- This is primarily targeted at the Ignis Wraith - as a “flamethrower” weapon, it’s hard to imagine a blanket of elements being precise enough to target weak points specifically. Explosive projectiles themselves can still land headshots, so there is still a reason to aim with most weapons for maximum damage.

- Introduced.
