Quick Links
Wake up, Tenno. Warframe is a third-person looter shooter that focuses on customization and fast-paced gameplay above all else. You are a Tenno, an ancient race that controls powerful Warframes which can manifest incredible powers. Summon dual pistols that fire at the speed of light, ignite your enemies with a barrage of meteors, and much more.
As open-ended as Warframe can be, this game is also incredibly tough to get into. An abrupt end to the in-game tutorial, rapid updates from the developers, and hundreds of missions can make this game seem impenetrable. But if you stick with it, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better horde shooter—let alone a free one. Use our guides to learn everything about Warframe, from basic controls to endgame builds for your favorite weapons and Warframes.
Updated October 30, 2024, by Charles Burgar: Xaku Prime and two fan-favorite weapons have been primed in Warfarme’s latest update. We’ve updated this hub page to include in-depth build guides on the fragmented Warframe and their two signature weapons: the Trumna and the Quassus.
