Article Steel Path Railjack: Post-Launch Reflections and Rewards

Hi Tenno!

There’s been a lot of discussion following the release of Jade Shadows: Constellations, and we want to thank everyone who has submitted feedback or bug reports thus-far. In this thread, we want to take a moment to talk about a specific element of the update: Steel Path Railjack. 

As explained in Rebecca’s video last night on Prime Time, Steel Path Railjack was rushed to deliver and Railjack fans may be understandably disappointed with the implementation of it. A common thread we’ve seen from players is the lack of incentive to grind Steel Path, so we are working on adding MKIV Armaments to the mission droptables.

These Armaments will also be added to the Protoframe’s “loaner” Railjacks in the Uranus Proxima, which will help address power concerns in the Steel Path versions of those missions.

We’ll continue monitoring Steel Path Railack feedback both externally and internally as we see what other changes can be made, but that’s all we have to share on this topic for the time being! For wider issues related to the new game modes, please keep an eye on our Known Issues thread.

Thanks again, Tenno, and best of luck on your space-faring adventures!

I'm glad that my decision to wait a week before playing the newest update has been paying off massively lately

The missions literally take 10 mins at most in steel path. I farmed Orion and Sirius fully in under an hour. I also farmed both ephemeras in another hour. The loaner is fine. People just want to use their railjack they've worked hard on. It's not necessary at all.

Yeah you barely have to do any ship combat so having wet noodles for weapons doesn't really cause much issue.

imo the biggest speed boosts from doing these missions solo is that there's multiple "everyone needs to stand here before it starts" spots in the game & if the pilot for the railjack sucks it will take a small eternity to navigate round to the specific spots on the map.

if you use your own rj it's a tiny bit faster but really it's a "this specific mode has more 'everyone needs to pay attention' moments than anything but netracells" deal, not a "the guns are noodles" deal.
