All Main and Side Quests in Waframe

Warframe has evolved significantly since its official release back in 2013, and since then, it has received countless updates. Throughout its life, it also received plenty of story quests — so much so that just a glimpse of the in-game quests menu can make any new player feel intimidated.

While the game's onboarding process has improved over the years, some players may still find the quest progression to be somewhat convoluted, especially returning veteran players who may have skipped a quest or two. If you're not sure which quest to play next in Warframe, this guide should point you toward your next goal.

Every Quest in Warframe, in Order

There are 19 mainline quests in Warframe that are designed to ease players into the game's greater narrative. There's no pressure into doing these quests, but completing them is highly encouraged, since important content like features, locations, and mod/material sources are locked behind them. The quests are divided into four story arcs:

All Quests in Warframe
Arc 1 - Awakening	Vor's Prize Saya's Vigil (unlocks Plains of Eidolon) Vox Solaris (unlocks Fortuna) Once Awake Heart of Deimos (unlocks Cambion Drift and Necramechs) The Archwing (unlocks Archwings)
Arc 2 - The War Within	Natah The Second Dream Rising Tide (unlocks the Railjack) The War Within Chains of Harrow Apostasy Prologue The Sacrifice
Arc 3 - The New War	Prelude to War The New War The Duviri Paradox (unlocks Duviri)
Arc 4 - The Void War	Whispers in the Walls The Lotus Eaters The Hex (unlocks Hollvania)

The Awakening arc serves mainly as a tutorial/introduction to Warframe's universe and characters. Meanwhile, the rest of the Arcs tell a larger story involving the history of the Tenno and the ghosts that have come back to haunt them.

All Sidequests in Warframe

Sidequests aren't as significant to the game's story, but they do unlock some neat features, world lore, Syndicates, and new Warframes. These sidequests include:

Howl of the Kubrow (unlocks animal companion breeding and incubation)
Stolen Dreams (unlocks Ayatan Treasure Hunts)
Veilbreaker (unlocks Helminth Archon Shard socketing)
Patient Zero (unlocks Mutalist Alad V boss)
Man of Few Words (unlocks Clem missions)
