How To Earn Incarnon Adapters

Unleash the true power of your weapon arsenal with Duviri's Incarnon Genesis

Unleash the true power of your weapon arsenal with Duviri's Incarnon Genesis Adapters.

Warframe's Duviri Paradox update added a new reward type that most endgame players will want to chase. Named Incarnon Genesis Adapters, this upgrade type allows you to unlock an Incarnon form and weapon tree on select weapon families. This serves as a massive buff to older, long-forgotten weapons in the Warframe sandbox that couldn't be saved with good Rivens.

A reward as powerful as this is going to require some serious work to earn. Getting your hands on Incarnon Adapters will require playing some of Warframe's hardest content on a regular basis. This guide will go over what Incarnon Adapters are, how to earn them, and cover every Incarnon Adapter you can earn.

Updated May 29, 2023, by Charles Burgar: The final set of Incarnon Adapters are now available, augmenting the Zylok, Sibear, and the Stalker's unique weapons. We've updated this guide to include all Incarnon Form and evolution descriptions for this week's weapons. We also added all week five Incarnon Adapters that we forgot to include last week.

An Incarnon Genesis Adapter is a unique reward type that infuses a weapon with Incarnon abilities, granting it a new alt-fire and skill tree. Similar to the Incarnon weapons found aboard the Zariman, all weapons imbued with an Incarnon Adapter will gain access to an Incarnon form upon landing multiple headshots or reaching a certain combo multiplier. Activating the weapon's alt-fire will morph it into an Incarnon weapon for a short period, greatly boosting its effectiveness.

Similar to Riven mods, Incarnon Genesis Adapters may only be applied to weapons that match the listed family name. For example, a Braton Incarnon Adapter may only be placed onto the Braton family of assault rifles—the MK-1 Braton, Braton, Braton Prime, and Braton Vandal. Adapters are installed into a weapon at Cavalero aboard the Zariman. Once installed, you'll need to complete a series of challenges to unlock the weapon's various Incarnon passive bonuses.

Return to Quick Links

Incarnon Genesis Adapters are obtained by completing Duviri's Circuit game type on Steel Path difficulty. Before starting your Circuit run, you'll be prompted to select two Incarnon Adapters out of a selection of five. This will determine which adapters you'll receive from reaching rank five and ten in the Circuit, respectively.

Once you've selected your Incarnon Adapters, you'll be presented a series of rewards that unlock as you play the Circuit, similar to how a Battle Pass works. The more missions you complete in the Circuit that week, the more progress you'll make. You can see your current Circuit progress on the bottom of the reward UI before starting a run. You must complete your Circuit missions on Steel Path difficulty and successfully extract to progress this reward track.

Available Incarnon options and your Circuit reward track reset every Sunday at 0:00 UTC. Incarnon Adapters rotate in a predictable order, as shown in the next section.

Incarnon Adapters are one-use items, similar to Orokin Catalysts. There is no way to uninstall an Incarnon Adapter once used.

Incarnon Adapters may be installed by speaking to Cavalero aboard the Zariman. Any weapons that are compatible with your owned Incarnon Adapters will appear in the "Browse Incarnon Weapons" menu. Installing an Adapter will cost a small sum of Duviri materials, most of which can be found in the Duviri open world or Undercroft.

Installed Incarnon Adapters will need to have their evolutions unlocked as well, similar to how standard Incarnon weapons behave. All Incanron Adapters share similar challenge requirements:

Selecting Evolution upgrades may also be done at Cavalero for zero resource cost. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to change your Incarnon evolutions in the Arsenal menu, so you'll need to speak to Cavalero every time you wish to change your Incarnon evolutions.

Certain Incarnon Evolutions might be weaker if installed onto a stronger weapon base (Prime, Vandal, et cetera). Incarnon values listed in tables are for the weapon's base variant.

The Duviri Paradox update has released 30 Incarnon Genesis Adapters for players to earn. These are released in groups of five each week, totaling six different sets of Incarnon Adapters. Since you may only obtain two adapters per week, it will take 18 weeks to obtain every Incarnon Genesis Adapter in the game, assuming no additional adapters are added.

This set of rewards includes Incarnon Adapters for the Braton, Lato, Skana, Paris, and Kunai. You may install Incarnon Adapters onto the standard, Prime, and Vandal variants of these weapons—including the Founders-exclusive Skana Prime and Lato Prime.

The Bronco's Incarnon alt-fire features the same gimmick as the Lato. As such, the Bronco's ricocheting pellets are affected by punch-through, giving this weapon pseudo-AoE clear with some investment. Ricocheting pellets can also trigger the Dizzying Rounds augment mod from Nightwave: Series 3.

You can push this further by using the Corrupt Charge mod or Riven mods with initial combo modifiers.

Return to Quick Links

This set includes Incarnon Genesis Adapters for the Torid, Dual Toxocyst, Dual Ichor, Miter, and Atomos. Since these weapons don't have any variants, you'll only have base variants to install these adapters onto.

Values are listed for the weapon's base variant. Any stats that modify base damage, critical chance, critical damage, or status chance affect the weapon's base stats. Base modifiers are affected by weapon mods and buffs.

Survivor's Edge

Increase critical chance by +15%.

Increase status chance by 15%.

Elemental Balance

Increase status chance by +34%.

Unlike most Incarnon weapons, the Torid only requires direct impacts with each shot to charge its Incarnon alt-fire. You do not need to land headshots. The weapon's alt-fire morphs it into a Toxin version of the Amprex, releasing a beam that chains to nearby targets. The beam has a 50m range at base, and the chain beam can hit up to five targets simultaneously. The chain distance seems to be the same as the Kuva Nukor at 9m. Despite gaining beam weapon properties, you cannot equip beam weapon mods on this weapon.

Dual Toxocyst Incarnon Upgrades

Evolution 1

Incarnon Form

Unlocks the Dual Toxocyst's Incarnon alt-fire. Land headshots to charge.

On headshot: gain +70% Toxin damage for 3s.

Ripper Rounds

On kill: +3 punch through for 7s.

The Dual Toxocyst turns into a full-auto weapon in Incarnon Form, featuring much higher critical damage and status chance. Bullets in this form will ricochet to a nearby target, similar to the Lato and Bronco Incarnon Forms. Landing a headshot will still trigger Frenzy, granting a substantial fire rate buff and added Toxin damage for three seconds. Unlike its default form, Frenzy does not grant infinite ammo while in Incarnon Form.

Unlocks the Dual Ichor's Incarnon Form. Reach x6 combo multiplier to charge.

Universal Readiness

Collecting ammo grants 5 melee combo count.

While in Incarnon Form, melee kills will spawn Toxin clouds that inflict Toxin status to any targets caught inside. The damage of the cloud itself is incredibly weak and not worth building around. This cloud inflicts Toxin regardless of your mod configuration.

Miter Incarnon Upgrades

Evolution 1

Incarnon Form

Unlocks the Miter's Incarnon alt-fire. Land headshots to charge.

Evolution 2

Swift Sawblades

Evolution 4

Sawblade Storm

Hold charged shot for 1 second to increase AoE.

Commodore's Fortune

Increase critical chance by +22%.

Critical Parallel

Increase critical chance by +12%.

Increase status chance by +12%.

The Miter's Incarnon Form morphs it into a full-auto weapon. Sawblades now ricochet up to five times and explode every time they make contact with a surface or enemy, dealing pure Heat damage in a small radius. Sawblades also gain honing capabilities and will attempt to hit targets with each ricochet when possible.

Atomos Incarnon Upgrades

Evolution 1

Evolution 2

Survivor's Edge

Increase critical chance by +10%.

Increase status chance by +10%.

The Atomos effectively morphs into the Kuva Ogris with its Incarnon Form, releasing unguided rockets that explode on contact for massive damage. These rockets do not chain between targets. This explosion deals Blast damage, and direct impacts can inflict Impact status.

This set includes Incarnon Genesis Adapters for the Ack & Brunt, Soma, Vasto, Nami Solo, and the Burston. Prime variants are compatible with Incarnon Adapters, although their evolution passives might be weaker.

Zeroed In

Increase critical damage by +0.4x.

The Soma's Incarnon form morphs it into a full-auto shotgun with a tight pellet spread. It greatly reduces its critical chance, however, so additive critical sources are highly recommended. The Incarnon Form does not work with the Hata-Satya augment from Deimos, although DE has confirmed this is a bug and will be fixed in a future update.

Strangely, the Elemental Balance evolution sets the gun's base status rather than adding a flat number. The Soma Prime's value is also higher at 24% base status chance, upped from the base Soma's evolution of 20%. This is most likely a bug.

Vasto Incarnon Upgrades

Evolution 1

Reaper's Plenty

On headshot: gain +100% ammo efficiency for 2s.

Does not affect Incarnon Form.

The Vasto's Incarnon Form greatly buffs the weapon's critical stats and turns it into a six-round burst weapon, fanning the hammer with each shot. Since it has 24 shots, you effectively get four shots with the weapon while it's in Incarnon Form. This form deals tremendous damage when paired with Deathtrap Trigger.

The Burston effectively turns into an explosive minigun with its Incarnon Form, firing at a blistering 20 rounds per second. Its base damage is converted into pure Heat, featuring much higher critical stats. Any evolutions that impact the Burston's burst-fire mode does not apply to the Incarnon Form. The Burston Prime's Gilded Truth augment works with the Incarnon Form.

The Despair's Incarnon Form gives each knife an AoE explosion that occurs roughly half a second after it impacts a surface, dealing Heat damage over a 5m radius.
