Warframe is Coming to Nintendo Switch

Warframe is Coming to Nintendo Switch

Announced moments ago at TennoCon , the third annual Warframe convention hosted by Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes, Warframe is in development for the Switch thanks to a partnership between Digital Extremes and Panic Button. Panic Button helped work on DOOM, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus , and Rocket League , and are masters at porting triple-A games to Nintendo's hybrid portable cons

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

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

Warframe is a co-op shooter player in third-person and is already available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Players play as Tenno, a race of ancient warriors who suit up in unique "Warframes" in their war with the Grineer. Warframe is always a top 10 played game on Steam and seems to only be growing each year with more and more attention being paid to it by the media and streamers/influencers. I jumped into the game early, during the beta days, and fell in love with its uniquely intense and fluid movement and combat mechanics. It's what a lot of players moved to who were disappointed in Destiny 2's offeri

The Void is a dangerous area populated by the Corrupted, a collection of enemies across factions enslaved by Orokin towers. They are stronger and deadlier than their free brethren and deal 200% more damage. Hepit will require between level 10-15 to safely b

The second weapon added to the arsenal is the Destreza Prime. The Destreza in general has never been a personal favorite due to its limited range, but the Prime version is slowly making me a believer as it can rip right through armor like it’s nothing. This is unlike most melee weapons available, with the Endura being the one exception, as it’s a rapier that’s held in one hand and strikes forward, at least when not sliding. Oddly enough, the Prime version is nearly 10% slower than the standard Destreza, and damages 20% less in Puncture. Fortunately, everything else is boosted, with a higher critical chance and multiplier, along with the remaining attack values raising ever so slightly, and the status effect chance up over 3x what it originally was. It’s definitely a solid critical-centric weapon, and with the boost of status it should help it go further, but really, it’s nowhere near the level of weapons such as the Atterax which have a much wider spread of damage, which can bring entire rooms to their knees. At least it’s more versatile than say the Kronen Prime that came with the last Prime update, and it still holds up as a pretty good melee weapon.

With more than 38 million registered players worldwide, the cooperative, free-to-play hit Warframe is a third-person online action game set in an evolving sci-fi world soon to be available on Nintendo Switch. Warframe gives players the chance to master the Warframe armor as the enigmatic Tenno, a race of ancient warriors wielding blade and gun, who are awakened from centuries of cryo-sleep by the mysterious guide, Lotus, to restore order throughout the Solar System. Warframe features more than 35 unique Warframes, hundreds of weapons and thousands of customization options, the ability to upgrade weapons armor and items using a flexible mod system, and the ability to join clans, nurture pets, and explore massive new open wor

Unfortunately, most of this weapon's damage is Puncture and Impact, two of the worst damage types in the game. Slash procs from the Warframebase.com blog this weapon aren't going to hit very hard or occur much at all, leading to some problems when dealing with heavily armored targets in Steel Path. But if you don't care about following the meta and want to crush every bone in a Grineer's body, you won't find many hammers better than the Kuva Shil

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

If you have all the materials necessary to craft the parts, you’re looking at six days and twelve hours to craft the frame, assuming you’re on the ball and crafting each part one right after the ot

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
