Anbu Assassin Pack – Shadow Gear for Elite Tenno
The Anbu Assassin Pack drops today, giving Tenno a stealth‑focused outfit, weapon skins and cosmetics that let you move like a phantom. This guide covers everything you need to claim the pack, equip the items, and weave the gear into a covert playstyle.
Overview
The pack is themed around elite shinobi who “strike swiftly and vanish without a trace.” All four items share a dark, shadowy aesthetic and are purely cosmetic – they do not modify combat stats, but they provide a visual identity for players who enjoy stealth missions, night‑time infiltrations, or role‑playing as an Anbu operative.
Promotional Banner
When the pack launches, a dedicated banner appears at the top of the in‑game shop. The banner features a stylised Anbu mask, a flowing cape silhouette, and a flashing 30 % OFF badge. Tapping the banner instantly opens the purchase window, making the pack easy to locate even for players who browse the shop quickly.
Purchase & Availability
- Price: 1970 Tenno Coins (TC) – a 30 % discount for the release week.
- Availability: Limited‑time offer; the price returns to full after the release week ends.
- Platforms: Available on App Store, Play Store, and Steam.
- How to buy: Open the Tenno Shop, locate the “Anbu Assassin Pack” banner, and confirm the purchase with TC.
Pack Contents
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Anbu Assassin Outfit | Dark armor with a flowing cape and a subtle, glowing tattoo on the forearm. |
| Dual‑Blade Skin | Shadow‑etched blades that leave a faint after‑image on each swing. |
| Shadow Back Item | A compact, feather‑like pack that blends into the background and adds a subtle trail when you sprint. |
| Anbu Detail | Facial tattoo that glows faintly when you enter combat, reinforcing the assassin vibe. |
Outfit
The outfit replaces the standard warframe armor visuals while preserving your warframe’s stats. It includes a helmet with a narrow visor, a chest piece with a matte black finish, and a cape that ripples with a soft, dark aura. To equip, open the Cosmetics tab, select Outfits, and choose Anbu Assassin Outfit.
Weapon Skins
Both dual‑blade skins are unlocked together. They apply a shadow‑etched texture to any dual‑blade you own. After purchase, go to Weapons → Skins, select a dual‑blade, and pick the Anbu Dual‑Blade Skin.
Back Item
The back item slots into the Back slot of your inventory. It adds a faint particle effect when you sprint or dodge, enhancing the stealth aesthetic without affecting movement speed.
Detail
The facial tattoo appears on the warframe’s face when you enter combat. It can be toggled on or off in the Details sub‑menu of the Cosmetics tab.
Acquiring the Pack
- Check your TC balance – You’ll need at least 1970 TC. Daily missions, syndicate rewards, and selling unwanted items are reliable ways to top up.
- Clear inventory space – Ensure you have at least one free slot in the Cosmetics tab; the items unlock instantly after purchase.
- Purchase via the banner – Tap the shop banner, confirm the price, and wait a few seconds for the items to appear.
- Sync across platforms – Purchases are tied to your account, so they will show up on any device you log into.
Equipping and Customising
- Open the Inventory → Cosmetics screen.
- Select Outfits, click the Anbu Assassin Outfit, and press Equip.
- For weapon skins, navigate to Weapons → Skins, choose a dual‑blade, and apply the Anbu Dual‑Blade Skin.
- Activate the Anbu Detail from the Details submenu if you want the combat‑glow effect.
- Drag the Shadow Back Item into the Back slot to complete the look.
Preparing Your Inventory
- Free up at least one slot in the Cosmetics tab.
- Organise existing skins – If you have many weapon skins, consider consolidating duplicates to make room.
- Backup your loadout – Use the Loadout Presets feature to save a pre‑stealth configuration; you can switch back quickly after testing the new gear.
Integrating with Stealth Builds
While the pack is cosmetic, many players pair it with high‑Agility, high‑Dodge builds to reinforce the assassin role‑play:
- Warframe choice – Opt for frames with built‑in stealth abilities (e.g., Loki, Ivara, or Ash).
- Mod setup – Prioritise Quick Swap, Rush, and Dexterity to maximise movement speed and dodge frequency.
- Ability timing – Use the visual cue from the glowing tattoo to time melee combos or stealth‑kill abilities.
- Mission selection – Deploy the outfit on night‑time or dark‑zone missions where the shadow aesthetic blends with the environment.
Role‑play and Hub Presence
The Anbu Assassin Pack shines in social spaces:
- The Hub – Walk through the Tenno Plaza or the Market with the cape flowing; other players will notice the unique silhouette.
- PvP matches – The dark colour scheme provides a subtle intimidation factor while remaining fully cosmetic.
- Clan events – Wear the outfit during clan gatherings or role‑play events to reinforce an Anbu theme.
