Warframe Game Guide

Warframe is an intimidating game. Sure, it’s a wildly popular and ridiculously fun free-to-play third-person shooter on Windows PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but its accessibility and popularity doesn’t mean it’s easy to get into.

New players can feel overwhelmed after four years of continuous updates, an absolutely ridiculous amount of gear and an absurd amount of missions to play around in.

You might be jumping in because your buddy told you how good Warframe has gotten since its heavily panned release in 2014. Or maybe you’re curious because it’s always hovering near the top of the Steam charts. Or perhaps you’re just looking for something free to dig into.

If you find yourself overwhelmed at first — and you will — these are the things you need to know to make your first 10 hours of Warframe as smooth as possible.
