This initial hotfix addresses specific bugs related to the recently introduced content. A key highlight of this update is the resolution of a frequent crash experienced by players attempting to collect Antivirus mods during associated bounty missions, which had created a phantom bounty leading to crashes to the desktop (CTD).

Patch Notes for Warframe Hotfix 38.5.1
This hotfix also brings a notable change for long-time veterans of Warframe in the LR5 Rank: the maximum number of loadout slots has been increased by one, a change that should typically accompany each new Warframe release but was inadvertently omitted during the Temple update launch.
