As the player progresses, they may craft or buy other Warframes from the full list of offerings.Īs of Hotfix 31.0.5, there are a total of 83 Warframes consisting of both original models and special variants. New players start the game by selecting their first Warframe, from Excalibur, Mag, or Volt, and playing through the Vor's Prize Introductory Quest. Warframes greatly augment the physical abilities of a Tenno as well, affecting natural skills like swordsmanship, marksmanship and, most notably, acrobatics. These powers allow a Tenno to cast virtually anything, with examples ranging from devastating waves of energy, to bullet-nullifying barriers, mass healing, portals to the stars beyond, radial waves of antimatter, and even ethereal weapons. Warframes also possess passive abilities – powers that activate on their own accord. Further bonuses can be achieved by equipping add-ons, such as Arcane Helmets or Arcane Enhancements.Įach Warframe features four unique and extraordinary activatable powers that allow for a large degree of control over the surrounding environment. Players customize Warframes via the installation of Mods which can upgrade their Warframe Attributes, endow them with additional utilities, and even alter their abilities. While certain Warframes excel in a particular situation, none are limited to a singular role and no role demands the use of a singular Warframe. Each Warframe is moreover highly reconfigurable, meaning players can tailor their choice of Warframe to fit a multitude of playstyles. Players may don Excalibur to gain his prowess with bladed weapons, for instance. Warframes are divided into a collection of diverse models, each of which personifies a great warrior spirit. The Warframes possess regenerative shields, greatly enhanced mobility, and the use of an array of supernatural abilities – all of which further augment the Tenno's deadly use of traditional combat arts.

The Warframe is an advanced weapons system used exclusively by the Tenno in their missions throughout the Origin System.
