Warframe - 100% Achievement Guide (2026 / U42)

Steam Community guide by Brachragon.

ALWAYS LAUNCH VIA STEAM!

If you want to 100% Warframe on Steam, you need to unlock all achievements, while playing it through steam!
If you launch the game through Warframe's own launcher and unlock the ingame counterpart of a steam achievement, you'll be locked out of obtaining that achievement on steam permanently!

This Guide is about Achievements

This guide is designed to cover Warframe's achievements, and nothing beyond that.
If you're new to the game and want some basic information, check out any of the available beginner guides, like:

Mastery Rank

Let's get the most time consuming achievements out of the way first. Getting to the highest available rank will require hundreds of hours, if not thousands. So, here we go:

For a full list of all things, which can award mastery, check the warframe fandom at: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Mastery_Rank
Almost all mastery is earned by leveling your equipment or companions. Helpful tips for those can be found here:

These achievements are borderline impossible to miss. Just do what the missions ask you to and get to extraction. You'll unlock all of them waaay before unlocking all the other achievements.
For the x hours achievements, only in-mission time counts. This is not to be confused with your played time according to steam.

Counter IntelligenceSolve a Cipher in under 5 seconds.

Angel of DeathGet 100 kills in a single mission.

No WitnessesSuccessfully perform 100 stealth kills.

Hats off to you!Destroy 200 Corpus Crewman helmets.

Shield SaverDeflect 1,000 projectiles with your melee weapon.

Tenno of all TradesScore a kill with your equipped primary, secondary and
melee weapons in 5 seconds or less.
It is almost impossible to unlock all other achievements without ever getting these. Theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. In other words: ignore them; they will unlock eventually, BUT can be unlocked very quickly, if you want to do so.
