How to get Dex Nikana from Warframe Anniversary Event 2024

The brand-new Dex item unveiled this year will be Dex Nikana, a variant of the original Nikana melee with enhanced stats. You get Dex Nikana as a login reward by logging into Warframe between March 27 and May 17, 2024.

Whether it can outperform the Nikana Prime - one of the best melee weapons in Warframe - is a topic of debate until we get to try it first-hand. Regardless of which variant wins out, Dex Nikana will be a worthy addition to a beginner's arsenal and a prized collectible for veterans.
