Once the undisputed damage king, the Tonkor has fallen from grace over the years. While it can still be a fantastic option with certain Warframes, the weapon frequently staggers its beholder if they were caught in the blast, making this launcher hard to

First, there’s the free weapons: the Dex Furis dual pistols, the Dex Dakra dual swords, and the Dex Sybaris rifles will be available to anyone who can complete the relatively simple in-game challenges. New players will definitely want to pick these up as they’re powerful items you can’t get at any other time. Veteran players too will want these items even if they have them from previous years as they come with free weapon slots, which normally have to be paid for using real c

As you can see, Grendel is basically Warframe Guide|https://Warframebase.com/ ’s Kirby. A grosser, more murderous version of Kirby to be sure, but he’s still just Kirby with a scarier face. Which is sort of in-theme for Halloween, now that we think of it. That’s not to say that Grendel will be bad, per se. Kirby is a beloved character, after all. Just that Grendel might seem a little uninspi

There are a lot of Cephalon Fragments. Specifically, you will need to scan 223 Fragments in total. Each planet has a specific number of Fragments that must be scanned before another entry is loaded into your codex and more of Warframe ’s lore is revea

The quest begins with a distress call from a Steel Meridian ship. After arriving, it seems that the ship is abandoned, but strange noises can be heard. During your search, a Red Veil mystic appears to explain the tail of Rell, a Tenno cast out by Margulis and later found by the foremothers of the Red Veil. Rell bestowed the Veil with his teachings, which later became the violent syndic

Last year, Warframe came to the Nintendo Switch in a move that was so technically amazing that we’re still not quite sure how it was done. Warframe is not a light game by any means--some of the latest open-world updates can tax a mid-range PC--but it runs so smoothly on the portable system that it boggles the m

Microtransactions have been an increasingly touchy subject for gamers in the last few years, especially since Star Wars Battlefront 2 found itself in the spotlight after DICE pushed consumers too far. Game developers have been hard-pressed to find innovative ways to increase revenue earned from titles, but today's story is something else entirely: the developer of Warframe removed a microtransaction because it proved too successful. While some studios purposefully target high-spending gamers (who hold the industry nickname of "whales"), one man's click-happy purchase binge changed the philosophy of the Warframe crew fore

This year sees two new additions: the Dex Liset skin for your lander and the Excalibur Dex Noggle, which is basically like an in-game bobblehead decoration. You get both of these just for logging in, with no challenge requi

While certainly generic, the Kuva Karak manages to carve its own cult following thanks to its reliability. Nearly everything about this assault rifle is solid: 23 base damage, 23% critical chance with a 2.1x multiplier, and 31% status cha

Warframe is getting its first fat frame. While some characters have been described as "thicc" or "phat," Grendel is unabashedly chunky. And while most other Warframes are loosely based off of Japanese samurai or ninjas, Grendel’s look is pretty obviously modeled after Sumo wrestlers. Just look at the way he sto

In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O'Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a "slot machine lever" that allowed gamers - for the price of about $0.67 - to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game's fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea - until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat

Developer Digital Extremes isn’t slowing down. They plan to add more space combat later this year with the Railjack expansion, remaster Jupiter’s Gas City map, as well as adding ever more Warframes and weapons for players to gobble up and mas

Sometimes the best solution to a problem is a giant hammer. The Kuva Shildeg is one of the strongest hammers in Warframe, featuring a monstrous critical multiplier of 2.7x and a high 31% critical hit chance. When paired with a 60% progenitor buff, this weapon can dish out some truly absurd dam

When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn't healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn't long before the 'gambling fur randomizer' was removed from the game entir
