Warframe: How to Get Cryptographic ALU For Razorback Armada 2025
The Razorback Armada event in Warframe has returned with some valuable rewards like a pre-built Orokin Reactor, some Mods, and a hefty Credit bonus, which requires 3 Razorback kills to claim. To complete the event, you’ll need to gather Cryptographic ALU from Archwing and Railjack missions, both of which will take time to get. Here’s how you can farm up on Cryptographic ALU to build Razorback Ciphers and challenge this event boss.

Where to Find Cryptographic ALU
This resource is only available in Corpus Archwing and Empyrean missions and will only drop from killing Corpus enemies. Each resource drop is 1 Cryptographic ALU, but it can be increased with a Resource Booster and a Resource Drop Chance Booster.
Easiest Method for Farming Cryptographic ALU
While you can do Empyrean missions to get this resource, the easiest way to farm for Cryptographic ALU is through Archwing missions, as enemies are easier to kill there.
You’ll need to complete “The Archwing” quest to get started on farming, which can be easily accessed through the Codex menu and by selecting “Quests.” Once you finish the quest and assemble your first Archwing, head to Jupiter, Galilea in the Star Chart and run the Sabotage mission. This mission will net you around 2 to 3 Cryptographic ALU per run.
If you want more of this resource, the Salacia node on Neptune is more lucrative but requires a bit more time since it’s a Mobile Defense mission. This mission spawns more enemies and has a greater yield of Cryptographic ALU.
Crafting A Razorback Cipher
Each Razorback Cipher has the following material cost:
- 1000 Polymer Bundle
- 3 Gallium
- 4 Cryptographic ALU
- 1500 Credits
To claim the free Orokin Reactor and other rewards, you’ll need a total of 3000 Polymer Bundles, 6 Gallium, 12 Cryptographic ALU, and 4500 Credits.
