Warframe offers a wide range of characters, planets to explore, and missions to complete. To unlock more secrets of the Sol System, you’ll need a robust arsenal. That’s why you can craft and refine various weapons, including guns, swords, and bows.
One of the standout bows in the game is the Daikyu. This bow excels as a standalone weapon for sniping enemies, and it has an impressive synergy with the Nikana sword family through a specific Amalgam mod. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
How to Get All Variants of Daikyu
You can find the blueprint for the standard Daikyu by researching it in the Tenno Lab within your dojo. After the research is completed, you can craft the weapon using the following materials:

Crafting the Daikyu Prime
You can obtain the Daikyu Prime by opening Void Relics in Void Fissure Missions. Along with the weapon blueprint, you’ll need four components (grip, string, lower limb, and upper limb). Each piece drops from the following relics:
- Blueprint: Lith Q2 (Common)
- Grip: Neo D10 (Rare)
- String: Axi V12 (Common)
- Lower Limb: Lith A8 (Uncommon)
- Upper Limb: Meso P16 (Uncommon)
You can trade all four parts with other players, making it generally easier to obtain the Daikyu Prime compared to its non-Prime version. Crafting the Daikyu Prime will require the following materials:
