Warframe - How to get each instant

Instants are rare Warframe cosmetics that will add some form of visual effect to your Warframe. Some will affect the Warframe itself, while others will cause some sort of visual effect as you walk. In a game with deep visual customization options, these add another way for your Warframe to stand out from the crowd.
