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 August 1, 2023, by Charles Burgar: The Echoes of Duviri update is here, bringing with it a new suite of Incarnon Genesis Adapters and the highly-anticipated Wisp Prime. We've updated this hub page to include our build guides for Wisp and her signature Fulmin rifle. We've also updated our Incarnon Adapters guide to include this update's new Incarnon Genesis Adapters.
