Warframe Dog Days 2025 Event rewards and how to play

Dog Days, Warframe's annual end-of-summer event, is back, with a new rubbery cosmetic for hammers (although you wouldn't think so looking at it). This year, Digital Extremes has reduced the price for some of the legacy offerings on Nakak's event shop and buffed the Soaktron primary with the perfect-reload mechanic from Sirocco.

Here's everything you can get from the event, as well as a quick rundown on the Dog Days game mode rules for newer Warframe players.

How to play Dog Days in Warframe

Mission 4 is the main go-to (Image via Digital Extremes)

Dog Days is supposed to represent a chill retreat at the beach, but ultimately, it's a Rathuum variant that can feel a bit trickier than regular Rathuum in Warframe. There are four dedicated nodes on Earth for the mission this time, and each will give you the following first-time reward, plus guaranteed Nakak Pearls once you win:

Mission	Enemy Level	Clearance Reward	Additional first-time clearance reward
Dog Days Mission 1	15-20	10 Nakak Pearls	15 Nakak Pearls, Hydroid Community Glyph, 50k Credits
Dog Days Mission 2	20-35	20 Nakak Pearls	30 Nakak Pearls, Loki Community Glyph, 50k Credits
Dog Days Mission 3	25-40	30 Nakaka Pearls	45 Nakak Pearls, Nova Community Glyph, 50k Credits
Dog Days Mission 4	30-45	30 Nakak Pearls	70 Nakak Pearls, Valkyr Community Glyph, 50k Credits

In a Dog Days mission, you have a five-minute timer. Whenever it runs out, the Tenno win if they have a higher number of total kills vs the Executioners. That part is easy enough to achieve, but there's an additional catch for Mission 4: you get additional Nakak Pearls for each kill (2 Pearls) and assist (3 Pearls).

How do you get kills/assists? Well, despite the many buffs, the Soaktron is quite clunky to use. If you want faster kills, a heavy slam attack with the Noodletron melee is the best method.

Due to the slam nerfs from the Isleweaver patch, however, it's harder to pull off compared to the last time the Dog Days event was around. My advice is to get on any of the two tall rock cliffs on the map, scout out the Executioners, and do a glide into heavy slam on them. Preferably, you want the cliff closer to the spawn because this is close to a Bob Lob spawn spot.

You mostly want to farm Mission 4 if you want to get many Nakak Pearls. The higher enemy level here means you can't kill them with one heavy slam, but what I've been doing is trying to get a high jump off the cliff to clip multiple Executioners into a slam AoE. That way, you get the Assist bonus even if your kill gets snatched by a teammate.

In case no one is near you, you have to do a second heavy slam to finish them off. With the second attempt, you basically want to directly hit the enemy with the slam to score a kill, which may take some practice.

Other than this, you can also spend 360 Nakak Pearls to get Furax Wraith from here - 120 Nakak Pearls for the main Blueprint and 120 for the Left and Right Gauntlet Parts each.

Note that the Dog Days Ephemera will be gone once the event expires, but everything else, including the Soaker Ephemera, is a permanent purchase.

If you're not sure what to get from the Pearl shop, here's my must-buy recommendations in order of preference (assuming you don't already have anything being sold here):

• Acid Shells and Nightwatch Napalm (get multiple copies of this if you are here to make more Platinum)
• Furax Wraith Blueprint and Components
