Protea is a new Engineer-based Warframe that has been added to the game and is the 43rd Warframe. To get it, you will have to play through the Deadlock Protocol mission. This mission is accessible from the Codex.
You will need to have completed the Vox Solaris quest to access the Deadlock Protocol mission.
Mission 1
The first mission takes place on the Cytherian Node of Venus, against enemies of level 11-13. The mission is Interception and will take place over three turns. During each round, Nef Anyo will reach out to you with dialogue relevant to the story, but we'll keep this guide spoiler-free.
Visit Eudico in Fortuna
Once the mission is completed, you will need to visit Eudico in Fortuna, on Venus. You can find her in Fortuna's secret meeting room. After speaking with her, you can return to the Orbiter.
Mission 2
The next mission takes part in V-Prime on Venus. It will play as a mobile defense and you will have to defend two points in total. Once completed, you will need to extract to complete the mission. Throughout, Nef will reveal important pieces of history, so fans of the lore should be careful of her hikes.
Visit Eudico
Once again, he's back in Fortuna to speak with Eudico about what's going on.
Mission 3
This mission takes place on the Roche node on Phobos. For this mission, you will have to follow the waypoints, then kill an enemy carrying Granum Tribute and bring them to the tribute. Interact with the homage, making sure no enemies are near, and you'll be teleported to a new realm. There is another knowledge dump here when you try to fight Corpus Specters and then you will be fired and have to extract.
When you return to the Orbiter, Nef will contact you with a blueprint for the Xoris Glaive weapon.
Mission 4
This mission takes place in Valac, Europa. This is a spy mission, so bring a stealth warframe and some numbers for the hack you will need to do.
During this spy mission, you will get all the parts to build the Xoris from the three chests that you have to hack, and then you will have to return to the Orbiter to build it. It has a 30 second build time. Equip the Xoris and you're ready for the next step.
Mission 5
This mission takes place on Neptune, at the Parvos node.
