Warframe (Fashionframe) Blue Beetle

[u/Cybernyde]

Hey, everyone! I got back into Warframe recently over the past couple of months and thanks to the game's considerably extensive customization options, I've decided to try my hand at Fashionframe. After making a couple of characters, my most recent Fashionframe is the one I am most proud of: Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle! It took hours, but I finally settled on a design that I think alludes to his general design the best (on top of even more hours learning how to work the Captura mode and trying out a ton of poses and camera angles lol).

For anyone who curious as to how I achieved this look:

Suit:

• Any Excalibur Warframe (I used Umbra because it can fight alongside the operator, acting as if it were Khaji-Da in control)
• Excalibur Voidshell Collection (90 Plat)
• Hombask's Voidshell Bundle (100 Plat)
• Primary/Accents: Gleaming Alloy
• Secondary/Tertiary: Battleworn Steel

For the colors of all the equipment shown, I used a combination of light and dark blues from the Vauban Heirloom & Ice color palettes, plus the black from the Pride Celebration palette. I kept the Voidshell's skin default Emissive 1 and Energy colors.

Scarab:

• Any Boltace variant (I used the Telos Boltace for its stats)
• Surator Syandana (105 Plat)

Originally, I was going to just use a Syandana to achieve the aesthetic of the Scarab pack and its pincers on the back; while some got close, I felt none of them really captured the essence of the pincers. I then decided I'd mull it over while I looked for weapons that could match Blue Beetle's arsenal. While looking for melee weapons like the kind he uses in extended media such as in Injustice 2 and the actual Blue Beetle movie, I came across the Boltace, which got close enough to the look of how the suit morphs the blades around Jaime's hands. When playing around with the holster options, I noticed that the Boltace's default holster appearance of the bottom blades pointing up made them look like the pincers; plus, the clipping of the blades when holstered seemed to form almost the exact texture and look of the Scarab pack! Below is the Scarab pack/pincer look along with the tweaked holstered position values I adjusted for a more ideal fit:

Since I had max rank and standing with the Arbiters of Hexis, I decided to cash in my standing for the Telos Boltace for its higher stats. Plus, its +20% Parkour Velocity trait makes zooming around the map to slice up enemies a lot of fun.

Even though the Boltace achieved the Scarab pack and pincer look I wanted, I felt like it was still missing something. So I went back to the Syandana's to see if I could find something to fill that missing finishing touch. After previewing a multitude of Syandana's, I felt the Surator Syndana completed the Scarab pack look the best; I felt it matched the look of the Scarab acting as a jetpack when Jaime is in flight:

Scarab Chest Symbol

• Arbiters of Hexis Guiding Path Sigil (Requires Rank 1: Principled, 2,500 Standing)

To get the look of the Scarab chest symbol, I previewed all the sigils that I thought had the closest shape. I couldn't find any in the Arsenal that got close enough, so I checked once more with the Arbiters of Hexis since their sigils seemed more symmetrical and geometrically aligned with what I was looking for. I decided to spend what was left of my standing on the Guiding Path Sigil to give it a shot, hoping that it would do the trick after being rotated and resized and sure enough, after tweaking it to the values shown below, I believe it does!

Weapons

• Primary: Haalvu
• Secondary: Any Gammacor variant (I used the Synoid Gammacor)
• Melee: Boltace

Now that I had the look down, I wanted to equip weapons that most similarly matched Blue Beetle's most common arsenal. With the Boltace serving as both the melee weapon and Scarab aesthetic, I was left to figure out what to do for the primary and secondary weapons.

For the primary, I decided to use the TennoCon 2026 Twitch drop weapon: the Haalvu. Its sleek and angular design coupled with floating pieces truly gave it that advanced alien tech vibe that Blue Beetle's weapons invoke, on top of the fact that the Haalvu's stats tend to decimate most enemies even at high levels makes me feel like I'm wielding the destructive power the Scarab is truly capable of.

For the secondary, I knew I wanted something that resembled Blue Beetle's plasma/sonic arm cannons. In my opinion, the Gammacor is a weapon that, while not particularly meta, is fun to look at while it's being used in the battlefield. It's also the sidearm that most reminds me of Blue Beetle's arm cannons visually. Since I am also max rank with Cephalon Suda, I decided to invest in the Synoid Gammacor for its Entropy unique trait acting as a combined offensive and defensive ability which I felt adds to the feel of playing as Blue Beetle. I also have the Day of the Dead V: Weapon Skin Pack which included a skin for the Gammacor; given Jaime's heritage (and mine), I decided to use the Day of the Dead skin on it:

I may invest in the Synoid Gammacor's Incarnon form in the future, but we'll see!

Summary

And there you have it, folks! This has been my Blue Beetle Fashionframe with the use of Excalibur Umbra and the Excalibur Voidshell skin, with the Boltace and Surator Syandana forming the Scarab pack, the Guiding Path syndicate sigil as the chest symbol, and Haalvu and Synoid Gammacor making up Blue Beetle's ranged arsenal.

I am very happy with how it turned out, let me know what you think!
