Limbo Prime: Warframe's Most Skillful Warrior

Warframe is a third-person action game by developer Digital Extremes, that mixes shooter and melee combat, https://Warframebase.Com/ with fantastical powers, RPG elements and even looting. The game hit in open beta last week and after loving the closed beta, we tried out the latest version with Update 7 to share some gameplay foot

The Neuroptics and Systems aren’t quite as simple. Harrow’s Neuroptics are obtained from Pago in the Kuva Fortress and only drop on Rotation C of the spy mission. This means that all three vaults of the mission must be opened without a single failure to have a chance at acquiring Harrow’s Neuropt

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

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

Octavia is the closest thing Warframe has to a bard class. Through the power of music, Octavia can empower her allies with plenty of buffs while reflecting enemy damage through her Mallets. These Mallets reflect a portion of the damage they receive, allowing Octavia to outright kill Steel Path enemies at extremely high levels solely through her first abil

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

Whipclaw is easily one of Khora's strongest abilities, allowing her to whip targets for millions of damage with the right build. You can then use your Whipclaw to damage every target caught in your Strangledome, allowing you to clear hordes of enemies with a single attack. Khora can do it all, even in endurance Steel Path cont

Protea becomes a devastating Warframe when you subsume Nidus' Larva ability, replacing her fourth ability with this devastating CC power. Deploy a Larva near a group of enemies, then summon three Blaze Artillery turrets. The turrets will scale their damage so quickly that they'll be able to one-shot Steel Path enemies after a brief period of continuous f

Topping the damage charts is incredibly easy for Saryn. This poison-themed Warframe spreads corrosive spores onto her targets that spread when popped, gaining damage the longer they linger. A good Saryn player can ramp up these spores to deal hundreds of thousands of damage per second, killing just about every enemy that isn't immune to Warframe powers. This makes her the ideal Warframe for Sanctuary Onslau

Most free-to-play online games are social apps (i.e. Facebook), MMOs (i.e. Neverwinter, Star Trek Online ) or competitive multiplayer titles ( MechWarrior Online, Tribes: Ascend ), but not many take the form of a full-on co-op game. That's just one of the many things that makes Warframe spec

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

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.

vintage_bicycle_leaning_against_bike_rack_2-1024x683.jpgThat alone is fantastic, but Saryn is also an amazing weapons platform. Thanks to Toxic Lash, Saryn can add forced Toxin damage to all her weapons, technically counting as a second hit. This can be boosted with Helminth abilities and certain mods to make Saryn's weapons one-shot just about everything in the g
