Zephyr Prime: Warframe's Well Rounded Killing Machine

Zephyr Prime: Warframe's Well Rounded Killing Machine

I think right now we have this world and idea of procedural levels, and these characters that are really strong, and now we introduced questlines where you learned who you really are. You have quests of intense loss, sacrifice and choice, and I would like to see us take those RPG elements, those story elements, but also social aspects and turn it into a new world that we can continue to make. It might have something to do with what we have tonight.

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

As you can see, Grendel is basically Warframe ’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

His second ability, Penance, sacrifices his shields for a massive buff to reload speed and fire rate and also provides himself and his teammates with lifesteal for damage dealt. The more shields sacrificed, the longer the buff la

We're about to give them a landscape and they've wanted that. Even if they didn't know they wanted that, the way they give feedback in level design, you can tell they're itching for space. They want more.

class=Harrow’s kit provides him with versatility and power to be useful in almost any situation. While he may be tough to acquire for Warframe players strapped for cash, he’s more than recommended to be your next Frame to pick

Finally, Harrow’s fourth ability unleashes the Covenant. This protects Harrow and his squad from all damage for a short time, while also buffing everyone’s critical chance at the same time. The more damage dealt to the team during the invulnerability period equates to more critical chance. For this reason, it’s highly recommended to bring critical-based weaponry when paired with Har

Of the colossal roster, Zephyr has been one of the least popular and least sought after Warframes. Granted, there have been far less appealing Frames in the past, such as Hydroid and Limbo, but Digital Extremes continues to rebalance characters so they better fit into specialized areas of the content, and that’s exactly what has happened with Zephyr. Almost two months ago, Zephyr received a rework that combined two of her abilities and an additional one in its place. It was something that Warframe needed, especially considering her capabilities were less than appealing. With her rebalance, the developers have released a Primed version of Zephyr and with it comes a slightly altered appearance and enhanced stats.

While Mesa might not be the best Warframe in any particular category, she is always a good choice for any activity. Mesa can destroy entire hordes with her Peacekeeper pistols, automatically shooting targets within your enlarged aiming reticle. As the reticle dwindles with each shot, your damage ramps up to ensure nothing survi

Despite the thousands of years since the Tenno were founded in the Orokin era, Rell survived by transferring his consciousness into his Warframe Story guide: Harrow. The player will need to defeat several manifestations of Rell’s "spirit" and eventually destroy Harrow in order to complete the quest and obtain Harrow’s bluepr

Additionally, Warframe ’s two most maligned frames are getting reworked. Ember will gain a new "immolation" passive ability that keeps track of how many fires she’s set, while Vauban gets a general buff and a new fourth ability that allows him to call down an orbital str

In order to start the Chains of Harrow, you must have access to Sedna and have completed The War Within quest. Although the quest features the Red Veil syndicate heavily, you don’t need to be affiliated with the syndicate in order to access the Chains of Har

Luckily, Harrow is one of the cheaper Warframes to outright buy on the open market for platinum. He only costs 225 platinum, which equates to a few dollars if a player waits for one of Warframe ’s frequent login coup

Grendel will arrive with Warframe ’s upcoming The Old Blood update, which also brings a bunch of new features. The Kuva Lich promises to be a player’s personal nemesis, acquiring whatever abilities were last used against it to turn them back on the Tenno. Melee 3.0 will finally finish with a phase 2 rollout that brings new heavy attacks, mid-air attacks, and lift and juggle attacks, making Warframe ’s melee combat even more satisfy

We cover a lot of games here on TheGamer , but one game that doesn’t get nearly as much coverage as it deserves is Warframe . For years now, Warframe has quietly been gaining momentum, gathering up players, and slowly but surely branching out into every console under the
