How to Find the Necramite Drone in Warframe

The Necramite drone is a small gold and black drone flying up in the air for certain objectives among the game’s newest bounties. Typically, you’ll be asked to head to a large red circle and locate the drone, though finding it is quite difficult. If you’re having trouble finding the drone itself, you can use the image above to more easily locate it. It likely won’t be at the same level as your frame, so you only need to worry about looking up.

It’s important to note that, as of writing, the Necramite drone can bug and spawn outside of the playspace. If this happens, then you’ll either need to spam AoE abilities in hopes of hitting the drone (Wisp’s Shock Mote is a good example of this) or unfortunately reset the run. This isn’t ideal, but there aren’t a ton of options until Digital Extremes manages to reign them in and fix their bugs.

How to Purchase a Necramite Drone

If you find the little guys cute and want to purchase one for yourself, then you can. You can either purchase one as part of the Donnish Decor Pack in the Warframe shop, or you can get it separately. If you get it as part of the Decor Pack, you’ll also receive the Albrecht 1999 Display and a Grimoire Altar. These are more meant for somewhere like your Dormizone since they’re quite large, but if you have somewhere in your Orbiter for them, go wild. I might even consider having the Grimoire Altar sit opposite my Relic kiosk in my Orbiter since the lack of symmetry is annoying.
