Warframe: 1999 introduces players to The Hex, a compelling group of characters at the heart of the Höllvania city narrative in 1999. After intense battles against the Scaldra and Major Rusalka, Warframe 1999 offers a chance to connect with these characters on a personal level through the new Relationship and Romance System. If you’re looking to explore beyond combat and forge bonds with Arthur, Aoi, or any member of The Hex, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about navigating romance in Warframe 1999.
Understanding the Relationship and Romance System in Warframe 1999
The Relationship and Romance System in Warframe 1999 is accessed via a retro-style chat platform located within the Pom-2 PC on your orbiter. Unlocking this syndicate tab grants you access to character profiles for each member of The Hex. Engaging with these profiles initiates introductory messages, and your dialogue choices will influence your relationship progression with each character.
Your connection with each Hex member is tracked through Chemistry levels, displayed on their profile pages within the 2-Pom PC. These levels range from initial acquaintance to deep bonds:
- Neutral
- Friendly
- Liked
- Trusted
- Close
- Best Friends / Loved
Progression through these Chemistry levels is also tied to your overall Syndicate Rank. You will need to advance your Syndicate Rank to reach higher Chemistry levels: Friendly requires Rank 2, Liked Rank 3, Trusted Rank 4, and Close Rank 5. Furthermore, reaching the “Liked” level with a character is essential to unlock the true ending of The Hex main story quest.
It’s important to note that romance is not mandatory. The Relationship System allows for platonic friendships as well, giving you the freedom to choose how you connect with The Hex members.
How to Pursue Romance in Warframe 1999
Once you’ve built sufficient Chemistry and achieved the necessary Relationship Ranks with a character, you can choose to pursue a romantic relationship. To initiate romance, visit their vending location within the Mall. There, you’ll find the option to ask them out on a date. However, romantic relationships are exclusive; you can only date one member of The Hex at a time. If you wish to pursue a different romantic path, you must end your current relationship first.
Daily Methods to Increase Chemistry with The Hex
Warframe 1999 offers several daily activities to boost your Chemistry with The Hex members:
Sending Gifts via DIRECTGIFTZ
Each day, after your chat conversation, you can send a gift through the DIRECTGIFTZ system. Choosing the right gift is crucial. Pay attention to character profiles for hints about their preferences. Selecting a preferred gift will increase Chemistry, while an incorrect gift will not yield any bonus.
Chatting on KIM
Engaging in daily conversations with The Hex members via the KIM chat is another key method. Your dialogue choices directly impact Chemistry gain. Successful dialogue choices will result in a Chemistry increase, indicated by a golden glimmer in their subsequent text message.
Completing Bounties
Participating in Bounties provides another avenue for Chemistry progression. Each bounty is associated with a specific Hex character, and completing these missions will boost your Chemistry with that character. Notably, the associated character will also accompany you during the bounty mission.
Don’t worry about making mistakes with gifts or dialogue. In Warframe 1999’s Relationship System, you can only gain Chemistry, never lose it.
Birthday Chemistry Boosts for The Hex
Adding another layer to character interaction, Warframe 1999 includes birthday messages. On each Hex member’s birthday, you can engage in a special conversation that rewards bonus Chemistry. Make sure to mark these dates on your calendar:
- Arthur: November 3
- Amir: May 23
- Aoi: July 10
- Eleanor: November 2
- Lettie: February 14
- Quincy: December 4
