With the eternal power creep of Warframe, the massive Archguns have felt a little out of step with the rest of the game. In lore, these massive weapons are designed to punch holes in spaceships, but in missions, there is often little reason to switch to them due to their performance. Thankfully, that has now been solved, as Archguns have become a unique weapon type in the game—they can now use both Primary and Secondary Arcanes.
### How to Get Archgun Arcane Adapters in Warframe
To obtain Archgun Arcane Adapters, you need to visit Nightcap, a new NPC introduced in The Vallis Undermind update. Nightcap can be found in Fortuna, but only if you have completed *The New War* quest.
When you spawn into Fortuna, turn left and look for a mushroom and fungus-covered grate. Behind this is an area known as The Airlock, where Nightcap awaits. Talking to Nightcap will allow you to take on bounties in the new Deepmines area beneath Fortuna.
Completing these bounties helps you earn Standing and level up Nightcap’s Syndicate. Once you reach Rank 3 with Nightcap’s Syndicate, you can use a resource called Fegolyte—earned during his bounties—to purchase the Archgun Arcane Adapters.
### Important Notes on Upgrading
Each time you level up the Archgun Arcane Adapters, you will be required to pay a sacrifice. Be sure to pay close attention to the specific requirements for each level, as you will need to farm different types of mushrooms during your Deepmines missions to fulfill these demands.
### Alternative Way to Earn Archgun Arcane Adapters
Apart from purchasing them, Archgun Arcane Adapters can also be earned as rewards from bounties in the Deepmines, specifically when completed on Steel Path difficulty. Make sure to keep an eye on the bounty rewards list to spot opportunities to obtain these adapters.
