Conclave is a neutral Syndicate led by the Conclave Master, Teshin Dax. Teshin resides within the Conclave Hall of each Relay. He is the one responsible for the management of the Conclave PvP System, providing incentives through various rewards that can be earned through Conclave battles.

Conclave missions can be accessed using the Conclave console located on the right of the Navigation in the Orbiter, as well as the Conclave enclave in the Relay. The player's loadout will be automatically switched to their Conclave loadout upon entering a Conclave mission.

A free-for-all game mode that requires the Tenno to battle each other and retrieve their Oro, a red orb entity that appears when a Tenno is defeated. The gameplay is similar to the Kill Confirm variant of Deathmatch, and the round is completed when one player has retrieved 25 Oros, or obtains the most Oro after 10 minutes has passed.

In its variant mode, each Tenno is equipped with a modified Opticor Opticor that takes 1 second to charge and can kill an opponent in one shot. However, all other weapons are disabled, as are Warframe abilities, passives, and mods.

This game mode allows four Tenno to ally with each other against another group of four Tenno in an Annihilation game mode. Each team must retrieve the Oro of the opposing team to gain a point. The opponent team members are highlighted in red outline. The match ends when one of the team has retrieved 50 Oro or obtains the most Oro after 10 minutes has passed.

It has a winter-themed variant mode, called Snowday Showdown, a frosty skirmish of snowballs and minty melee mayhem. Each Tenno equips two weapons, Solstice Spheres (a.k.a Snowballs), a throwing weapon similar to Kunai Kunai, with each ball dealing 50 damage, unlimited ammunition, and they fire in an arc similar to Kunai and have travel time, making them impractical for long range combat. In addition, the Tenno receive a melee weapon, the Solstice Scythe, shaped like the Spearmint Scythe, dealing 50 damage. Both weapons proc cold, slowing opponents for 1 second. Warframes can not use their passives, abilities or mods during this mode. The stage will have snowfall and will be partly covered by snow with snowmen as stage decorations in some areas.

A simple Capture the Flag-style game mode in which two teams of four Tenno (for a total of eight players) must steal the Cephalon from the opponents base and bring it to their own in order to score points. The match ends when one team has captured the opponent's Cephalon 5 times or has the most captured Cephalons after 10 minutes has passed.

Lunaro is an ancient Tenno sport, where two teams try to take control of the 'Lunaro' ball with Arcatas to score a goal. This game mode does not require weaponry and instead demands teamwork and coordinated plays to achieve victory for the team. The match ends when one team has scored 20 points or has the most points after 6 minutes has passed (split in between two halves of 3 minutes).

As of Update: The Silver Grove (2016-08-19), Conclave now has Dedicated Servers (on PC) with the intention to provide a more robust and optimized matchmaking environment in PvP. Due to networking architecture of consoles, they will not have Dedicated Servers. Leaderboards for Dedicated Servers are found here.

Conclave includes several special features common to all modes (with the exception of Lunaro):

Recruit Conditioning ensures players new to the Conclave only play matches with other relatively inexperienced Tenno. The option can be toggled on or off in the Conclave console on the Landing Craft, and is only available to players below Tempest rank in the Conclave syndicate.

Players with Recruit Conditioning enabled will only be matched with each-other, and players at Mastery Rank 0 to 2 have the option enabled by default. Once a player reaches Tempest rank in the Conclave syndicate, however, the option is permanently disabled (and there is no way to reduce a player's rank).


Conclave only allows certain Warframes and weapons to ensure balance is fair and even. Conclave mods can be obtained from Teshin with Standing and from completing a Conclave match. Some of these mods can also be used in PvE and are dropped by Sentients or bought with Cred in Nightwave. Weapon variants such as Prime and MK-1, are generally permitted.

Restrictions on Mod choice is also applied. The Conclave Syndicate also sells a variety of Mods for players with sufficient Standings, some of which are currently PvP exclusives. PvE usable mods can also be obtained from defeating Sentients or bought with Cred offerings in Nightwave. All Conclave mods are also possible rewards after completing a PvP match.

Unlike in most syndicates, players gain Conclave Standing by participating and finishing matches, getting kills, achieving killstreaks, scoring goals, and completing Missions and Challenges; winning a match can offer players more standing. Completing more than one match in a lobby grants everyone a 10% Consecutive Match Bonus, giving players 10% more Conclave standing. However, if a player were to quit five early matches, then a demotion penalty will activate for that particular player, preventing them from gaining any Conclave standing for one week.

Current Challenges can be viewed when opening the Conclave console. In the top right corner there are two dropdowns for daily Challenges and Weekly Missions, respectively.

Standing from Challenges is considered bonus standing and does not count against your daily standing capacity. There are up to eight Challenges every day, two for each Conclave gamemode. Any challenge with 6000 standings reward is given a prefix 'Focused'. Challenge Missions reset daily at 7:15 PM GMT instead of the standard daily reset (12:00 AM GMT).

Weekly Missions were introduced in Update 18.0 (2015-12-03). These missions will always be the same:

Upon completing all three, an inbox message from Teshin will be received, containing 10 Rare Resources of one type, a Stance mod, Credits64 100,000, and ReputationLarge 50,000. These challenges can only be completed once a week, resetting on Friday, 12:00 AM GMT.

As of Hotfix 18.2.3 (2016-01-08), sigils are no longer required to increase Conclave Standing, and the Conclave sigils can be worn in PvE mode as a cosmetic attachment.

These rewards are offered to players at the end of any Conclave match.

Conclave Changes:

We were able to make a handful of changes to Conclave based on player feedback to bring it up a bit more to meet their expectations. This mostly comprises a handful of fixes and adjustments. For transparency's sake, the team’s resources are prioritized in Warframe’s PVE content. But in cases like these, we will provide maintenance here and there when a window opens for it.

Lunaro and Conclave Additions & Changes:
New Weapon Skins!

New Conclave weapon skins for the following weapons can now be purchased for standing from Tehsin once you’ve acquired the Typhoon rank:

New Arena!

Steel Meridian Themed Map: The valorous troops of the Steel Meridian were greatly pleased by the skill and honor found within Lunaro matches and have constructed a variant of the Arena for friendly Tenno to enjoy. Find the new map in rotation today.

New Gameplay Mechanics!

Ball Magnet Guard: Many of the loudest complaints about Lunaro were directed to the frequency of possession changes that could occur when a scrum was formed. To help alleviate this we've introduced the Ball Magnet Guard mechanic. This mechanic will allow the player with the ball to absorb a couple of hits, both melee and check attacks, before they lose possession. Initiating a Ball Magnet Guard is as simple as holding down the Ball Magnet button after the Lunaro has been picked up.

Passing is now a dedicated button. Defaulted to R, this dedicated pass button should make coordination and team play more viable, especially in high-latency environments.

Bringing up the Scoreboard can now be done with the TAB button bringing Warframe PvP in with more traditional PvP games.*

Please note: This change is also reflected in PvE game modes. Pressing TAB will bring up the Progress & Rewards screen without locking the player in place.

New PvP Matchmaking Rules!

Much of the feedback we've received from our seasoned PvP players and newcomers alike was our inscrutable matchmaking rules. We've attempted to stream lines and have separated the rules used to match players in PvE from those used for PvP. Specifics on these PvP specific matchmaking rules are as follows:

When attempting to join a friend you will be placed on their team if there is available space. If you create a squad and then create/join a PvP lobby you will all be placed on the same team. Subsequent joiners will fill the opposing team slots. Inviting a Friend who is currently in a squad will attempt to being in the full squad into your current game/lobby. Attempting to join a PvP match without enough space for you and your squad will now present an error message indicating that there isn't space to accommodate everyone. A similar error message to the above will be displayed when a full Squad of 4 players attempts to join a Lunaro match. Invite and Friends Only Lobbies now have a "Switch Team" option.

New Penalty/Reward System!

Another common gripe that has sometimes been affecting our competitive PvP modes was one that affects almost all games of this nature; rage quitters. While any system we introduce won't be able to completely solve this issue we've enacted a consequence system that will hopefully curb some of the more numerous instances:

New Custom Lunaro Bindings!

With the launch of Lunaro on Consoles we introduced full customization options for Lunaro controls. With this update we will be introducing the same functionality for PC keyboard and mouse users.

Head over to the Options screen to configure your Lunaro bindings as you see fit!

Soft Launch
Player Hosted Servers

Another major complaint directed toward our Conclave game modes has been the potential for laggy experiences due to the game running on our peer to peer system. With this update we will be rolling out the first stages of a potential solution to this issue: volunteer player hosted servers - we've got the tools in place to allow you to host Lunaro.

At this stage volunteer servers are limited to running Lunaro only, and require a separate dedicated computer to host.

The initial roll-out will be conducted via an invite-only process due to the need to gauge scalability and success. We will be using this soft launch to gather valuable feedback and stats and once we determine that the system is ready to provide the best experience we will be moving forward with a full scale public release.

General Additions/Changes
PvE/PvP Stance Alterations + New PvP Melee Stance Mods

We've decided to remove the functionality of PvE stances within Conclave matches. This design choice was implemented as we felt the current moveset provided by the PvE stances didn't quite fit the feel of our PvP gameplay. Using animations from existing melee Stances, alternative versions have been created with a focus on gap closing moves and shorter combos to better fit the pace of Warframe Conclave.
