Among the many features introduced in the Warframe update titled 1999, grasping the romance element and its mechanics is of utmost importance. Warframe has been around for quite some time and, although it started off at a slow pace, it has since evolved into one of the most beloved MMORPGs over the past ten years. With all the new features alongside the promises that come with 1999, 2024 is shaping up to be an excellent opportunity for returning players to dive back into the world of Warframe.
The latest content in Warframe 1999 transports players back to the era of the first Protoframes. Within this timeframe, the Tenno gets involved with a mysterious character known as the “Man in the Wall,” who has altered time for his own purposes. This narrative addition hints at how the players will face off against this entity, which has played a significant role in many pivotal game events. While the 1999 update is not a grand scale expansion like others, it still offers plenty of entertainment and narrative progression for all players.
How to Unlock Romance in Warframe 1999
Reliving the Past
To unlock the romance feature in Warframe 1999, players must first complete “The Hex” quest. This quest is relatively simple and allows you to control one of the six Hex members for most missions. While it’s necessary to finish the main story quests beforehand, there are no specific endgame requirements for this quest. Mission objectives will feel familiar to Warframe veterans, albeit with some tweaks to fit the 1999 setting.
As you play, make sure to familiarize yourself with each member’s abilities for a smoother experience.
The quest culminates in a narrative where the Tenno is unable to prevent the destruction of the Hex members at the hands of the Man in the Wall. However, through a time loop, players have a second chance to save their new allies. This essential gameplay element paves the way for building relationships with each Hex member, potentially leading to romance. By fostering positive interactions and reaching level four with a Hex member, players can break the loop and achieve a favorable ending.

During chats, selecting the correct responses is important for boosting chemistry and uncovering more about each Hex member. This process is essential for gaining daily boosts and understanding their likes and dislikes. Additionally, giving gifts can significantly enhance chemistry; the best gift options are usually hinted at in past conversations or detailed in each member’s profile.
Another effective way to increase chemistry is to complete the exclusive bounties available in 1999. These bounties provide an excellent opportunity to earn new Warframe resources, and offer a daily chemistry boost. Standard missions are supplemented by new faction enemies, with one Hex member accompanying you as a helpful NPC.
Overall, while romancing Hex members in Warframe might be somewhat grindy, it’s not overly complicated. It’s the first attempt at a romance system in Warframe, so some imperfections are expected as players adapt. This intentional slow pace allows everyone to engage deeply with the unique characters that Digital Extremes has crafted for this intriguing romantic element introduced in 1999.
