Also unveiled today at TennoCon was the next expansion, dubbed Fortuna which adds all-new types of environments (and the planet Venus!), creatures and gameplay – including hoverboarding! Oh, and you can fly a capital ship and battle other starships! Stay tuned for more on t
Pyrana Prime is arguably one of the best sidearms in the game. If there’s a good combo out there, it has to be a short ranged weapon, such as the Tigris shotgun, alongside an automatic rifle or submachine gun, such as the Akstiletto. That combo in particular worked amazing for myself, until I recently switched to the Supra Vandal assault rifle, which makes the Pyrana Prime the perfect sidearm. Not only does it have a widespread of so many pellets, but it’s essentially an automatic, as holding down the left mouse button will blow through a horde of enemies in a matter of seconds. Like the many other Prime weapons, there are some advantages and disadvantages when compared to its standard version. The biggest, and really only two disadvantages to the Pyrana Prime is that it deals less damage and has a slower fire rate. This is fortunately made up with a higher accuracy, crit chance/multiplier, magazine size, and status chance. In addition, the reload speed is 20% quicker and most importantly, the damage fallout is much wider, with a larger spread. It also comes in the all too familiar black and white color scheme, along with the gold trim. When using an assault rifle, this immediately gets assigned to the secondary slot.
Harrow’s third ability, Thurible, is a rare find in Warframe . By channeling energy into the Thurible, Harrow is then able to recoup that energy for both himself and his friends for every enemy killed. This greatly enhances the squad’s ability to maintain combat effectiveness in extended missi
Although the Chains of Harrow will provide Harrow’s blueprint upon completion, getting the usable Harrow Frame isn’t so simple. The player will need to acquire and build Harrow’s components before they can add him to their ros
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
Blunt honestly, speaking from the heart, this is the most surreal experience of my life. I have been working with Digital Extremes on Warframe for years and the fact we’re here in this building with thousands of fans, it feels too good to be true. I’m just happy.
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
We had a lever, basically, for all intents and purposes, and we saw, you know, a guy pull the lever like 200 times. And it’s just like, ‘oh my dear god, what have we done? We’ve created a slot machine.’ And so you know, it was a couple days I think it took us to take it out – a day, day and a half. That one is a big reg
With the right build, this gun can deal over one million burst DPS without accounting for Hunter Munition’s Slash procs. All of this plays nicely with this gun’s unique Exlius Mod Fomorian Accelerant, allowing the gun’s projectiles to ricochet four times. A single charged shot is enough to clear a hallway with this gun and leave tougher opponents with multiple Slash pr
It’s the hardest question to answer because there is no perfect solution and rely on our community being helpful in a coop game which can only get you so far. The design elements for returning players, figuring out what is going on is really making sure tutorials are accessible and actually interesting to engage with. We’ve added things to make the elements of the game more visible, we’ve simplified the UI in many ways to ensure you’re only seeing what’s relevant to you, but at the same time the systems are very hard to explain because you have access to them right away, so it’s a constant struggle.
It’s amazing to think that any one game could have a dedicated convention, let alone one that’s not from one of the big five publishers, but Warframe has done just that. TennoCon is now in its sophomore year and its 2017 incarnation was by all accounts a smashing success. Hardcore Gamer was able to make the trek out to sunny London, Ontario to take part in all the festivities and given exclusive access to many from the Digital Extremes team. We caught up with the ever popular Rebecca Ford — Live Operations and Community Producer for Warframe — to chat with her about what Plains of Eidolon means for Warframe missions|https://warframebase.com/, the future of the series and TennoCon as a whole.
