Tennocon 2021 Livestream

In 2018 Digital Extremes gave players Warframe on Nintendo Switch. Now in 2021 Warframe is set to release on Mobile. Revealing Cross Play and Cross Save along with it to a crowd of half a million viewers on Twitch at Tennocon 2021. Livestreamed on Twitch.
Smashing Twitch metrics for July with over 430,000 peak viewers. Revealing the new mobile compatibility in the feature hour. Alongside a myriad of new features to look forward to over the coming year.

Cross Save and Cross Play

The playerbase has been asking for it for years. Cross platform play and cross save across devices on Warframe. Now players will be able to play Warframe on a train or the toilet on Switch and Mobile. Then switch to their Console or PC without the need for multiple accounts. Ever since Bungie revealed cross save in 2019 for Destiny 2. Recently launching cross play a little prematurely in 2021. Digital Extremes has been eager to fill this need. For the competing looter-shooter’s playerbase.
Warframe's Big Mobile Reveal: Tennocon 2021 Roundup - Mobile Cross play and Cross save
Live on stream to fans surprise, developer Sheldon joined community manager Rebecca’s PC hosted game from his mobile phone. Later joined by Steve on Nintendo Switch and Megan on Playstation. After a time Sheldon switching his Warframe account to PC. With the cross save function working perfectly. Showing how far the development is for the upcoming features.

Whilst there has been no release date set by Digital Extremes. The Live performance highlights that it may soon be in the hands of the awaiting playerbase.

Longest Lore Quest Ever

The new upcoming quest in The New War storyline is to be the longest lore segment ever put into Warframe. This huge installment focusing on starting the War within the solar system. Following on from the Chimera Prologue, Jovian Accord, and the Deadlock Protocol. This section will bringing with it a whole new kind of gameplay for fans of the game.
With Warframe played live by Sheldon, it was revealed that the players will have the ability to play as a few lore characters. Grineer Trooper Kahl. Whom the active Twitch chat discussed as being “the new Clem“. Also Corpus Crewman Veso and the massive lore character Teshin.
Giving players the ability to play as Teshin is like being told you can play as Illidan from Warcraft. Or Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones from their respective titles. A powerful character throughout earlier lore interactions with the player.
With the gameplay itself looking intruiging with Teshin’s dual wielding Nikanas. This dual-weilding Nikana feature being discussed actively in the live Twitch chat by players. Stating that they would like the ability to use the weapons like Teshin but are currently unable to do so in game. The gameplay demo closing with the Grineer trooper Kahl sporting a fancy Corinth Prime. With many “F“s in chat to his attempted suicide.
An offering by the Sentinents in the cinematic to conclude the players introduction to the anticipated next part of the The New War.

Nidus Prime Look Reveal

One of the most favoured classes in the game is Nidus. At Tennocon 2021 his Prime version was revealed to be releasing later this year. The Warframe class build website Overframe, collectively voted for by users, lists Nidus as a top A tier class. So the Prime reveal was a hype moment for the hardcore playerbase.

Caliban: The Sentient Warframe

With the reveal of Caliban, the Sentient Warframe, players are now able to experience one of the big bad lore enemies in the game. The Sentient race majorly existing on the map’s later outer planets. Over time their lore becoming entangled heavily in the progressing storyline of the game.
Caliban gives players a first hand view into what it’s like to resist damage types like the Sentinent race. With his passive ability that he kindly shares with his fellow teammates.
Digital Extremes revealed that Caliban is releasing in 2021. Though a more precise speculated release date for the Warframe Caliban. If falling in line with the Warframe Release Order numbers. Is that he will likely be in the players hands by Halloween this year.

Warframe Raksa Kubrow – ESO and Arbitrations Status Build

Warframe Raksa Kubrow

ESO and Arbitrations Status Build

This Warframe Kubrow build works by using the Mecha set buff with a high status weapon. This gives the Raksa Kubrow the ability to do as much damage as possible, giving it more survivability and usefulness without losing too much utility.

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Raksa Kubrow ESO and Arbitrations Status Build

This Warframe Kubrow build works by using the Mecha set buff with a high status weapon. This gives the Raksa Kubrow the ability to do as much damage as possible, giving it more survivability and usefulness without losing too much utility.

Author: Siren Watcher. Published: 2019-11-09.

Why you would use a Raksa

The Raksa is a great companion (best-friend to Hildryn), as it gives constant shield buffs (protect) and a good amount of CC (howl). Personally I find it very useful in Elite Sanctuary Onslaught (ESO) and Arbitrations due to that added CC occasionally stopping me from being overwhelmed.

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Raksa Kubrow ESO and Arbitrations Status Build

Damage

Maul gives the kubrow extra damage.

Status

The dps mods; frost jaw, shock collar, flame gland and venom teeth, in whatever combination of elemental damage you want.

Mecha Overdrive and Mecha Recharge work in conjunction with your warframe’s Mecha Empowered and Mecha Pulse. Using all four will grant you many more times that the Kubrow proc’s the ability, but the full set is not required. What the set does is make it so randomly sometimes when you are killing targets, killing one will cause a spread affect to nuke the enemies around it (as can be seen in the video).

To quote the wiki, when pairing a weapon with the set:

The bonus is calculated from a weapon’s total modded status chance before multishot. This makes high-status shotguns a particularly good choice, as they should be built to reach 100% status chance before multishot, conferring the full 60% bonus.

Alongside this, when your kubrow gets a higher status chance, the dps mods (frost jaw, shock collar, flame gland and venom teeth) can give the kubrow a strong amount of elemental damage.

Survivability

Link Health gives the kubrow extra Health. Remember if you are on something like Hildryn then Link Shields may possibly work more to your favour. This mod works with “base” warframe modded health, not how much health you have each moment in combat.

Protect allows you to keep up shield regeneration.

Protect recovers shields similarly to Sentinel mod. Unlike its Sentinel counterpart, this ability activates consistently, as long as the shield capacity of the Kubrow’s master is not full.

Shield amount restored is not fixed, but rather in range of 150- approx. 290 . If shields are depleted during cast, 150 is always replenished.

Cooldown is inconsistent, more often than not, Kubrow can cast Protect twice over a second before entering a 5 sec cooldown. If used extensively (after approx. 15 cooldowns in immediate succession), Protect enters a downtime of about 10 seconds before Kubrow can cast it again. The “double cast” gives only a total of 300 if shields were depleted before first cast.

Utility

Fetch lets the kubrow loot for you.

Howl allows the dog to fear up to 15 surrounding enemies, making them walk disorientated and be unable to attack for 16 seconds.

Primed Animal Instinct (or Animal Instinct) allows the kubrow to show you enemies and loot on the map.

Other Mods

If you are looking to change up the build, Primed Animal Instinct is the default which can be exchanged out (as they only affect you rather than the kubrow).

Link Armor is also useful if you are bringing a frame with a high modded armor, or Link Shields instead of Link Health with something like Hildryn.

Primed Pack Leader (or Pack Leader) allows your melee hits to heal the Raksa Kubrow (can be exchanged out for normal pack leader).

Make sure you set up the abilities that proc’ such as Howl and Protect in the first slots on the left, because it will then proc’ them most often. Place either one in the order you wish the kubrow to default to casting first.

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Step-by-Step Guide: How to install Warframe on Linux

Step by step guide for installing infrastructure for Warframe on Linux like Wine Staging, Vulkan, Install Steam, Warframe itself, and Warframe’s “Special” Proton.

Author: Siren Watcher. Published: 2019-09-23.

For support for Warframe in Linux, this Discord is filled with cool people who will try help: https://discord.com/invite/6y3BdzC

Install Wine Staging

This is a version of Wine which gets game patches added in more regularly than the Stable version. So it’s best for gamers.

The following is for ubuntu, but if you are using another distro read the sequence here https://wiki.winehq.org/Download

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ disco main'

The last line above is for ubuntu 19.04, for another version please click here:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-staging
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

If it asks for libfaudio0 files you can install them here: https://pkgs.org/download/libfaudio0.

Right click the files and install them with something like gdebi package installer.

Install Vulkan

This part circumvents the following issue: “Support for DirectX 9 has ended. We hope you can upgrade your graphics card soon!”

In regards to Lutris support:

“If you get DirectX errors, it means you’re missing vulkan libraries. You need both 32 bit and 64 bit vulkan libraries installed on your system for your distro. The reason is because the game is 64 bit but the launcher is 32 bit so the launcher checks for 32 bit.” https://lutris.net/games/warframe/

To install Vulkan:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install libvulkan1 mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-utils
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install nvidia-graphics-drivers-396 nvidia-settings vulkan vulkan-utils

Install Steam and Warframe

sudo apt install steam-device

Steam > Settings > Steam Play, check “Enable Steam Play for all titles” and “Use this tool instead of game-specific selections from Steam” and under “Compatibility tool” select any Proton version 3.16 or higher.

sudo apt install xz-utils curl tar gzip xterm wine64-tools

Warframe's "Special" Proton

Go to /home/, press ctrl + h (turn on hidden files), click .steam, then steam.

Make a folder: compatibilitytools.d

Unpack Proton-4.15-GE-4.tar.gz and place those files into this folder.

Go to steam, click on Warframe, then on the right hand side click Settings > Properties. Click, “Force the user of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool,” then from the dropdown menu change it to Proton-4.15-GE-4.

What this Proton has different in it to normal: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/

After Logging In

Set vsync to On or Off in game. Don’t use Auto.

If you have any errors with keyboard and mouse

cd
curl -O https://gist.githubusercontent.com/xarvh/6abfbd176a48e21886813e98480e9dc5/raw/96642aeea1a1f59d9f59cff5b6ecbb20362fdfd3/xboxdrv.service
sudo apt install xboxdrv
sudo mv xboxdrv.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl enable xboxdrv
sudo systemctl start xboxdrv

“Workaround: install xboxdrv and run it as a service before running steam, steam recognizes it as an xbox controller even without a controller plugged in. it’s mean to be a translator for generic game pads.” https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/

The above is enabled xboxdrv to be added to system boot. So will be automatically on from now on. This is fine for making Warframe smooth, but can cause an issue with other games as it defaults you to use a controller. If this happens with another game, just put, sudo systemctl stop xboxdrv.service, into terminal to kill the service and the game should revert back to keyboard.

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - CV Resume

Step guide with images of spawn drop locations for the Animo Nav Beacon drops for an efficient Warframe Trinity farm.

Author: Siren Watcher. Published: 2019-09-07.

Table of Contents

Step 1: Location

Spawn in to Minthe on Pluto in Warframe.

Reason for choosing this mission is because Heiracon is the wrong faction and outer terminus spawns every two or three rounds. Example: round 2, 5, 7, 10, which makes the spawn drop locations time gated.

Step 2: Do Mission and look for Spawns

Do the mission and jump around for a while in the spots the ships spawn as one of the mobs the ships drop will provide you with Animo Nav Beacons.

These spots are not all guaranteed each time for the Trinity Farm.

Try each one out each time you spawn into the mission.

Whilst the Mission objective target is in the first location, run outside and jump onto the platform.

Warframe Trinity Farm: How to farm Trinity's Animo Nav Beacons (6 Easy Spawn Locations)

Jump over the gap and back whilst at the second target location to spawn the ship.

Jump up on the platform behind the third target location.

Jump around this bridge area which can spawn a ship nearby.

Jump up and around in multiple spots to get it to spawn on the secondary platform at the mission’s end.

Step 3: Ambulus Fight

A summary of this fight is:

– Kill the enemies.

– Hack the ambulus when they appear.

– Protect the ambulus whilst they are hacked from mobs.

– Repeat till the ship in the sky blows up.

For more info on the fight feel free to check the Warframe Wiki’s Ambulus page to conclude your Trinity Farm.

Author: Siren Watcher. Published: 2019-08-04.

Table of Contents

Disclaimer: This is just general opinion. Though I tried to research the collective opinion. These Frames have abilities that make them perform better in these areas, though you can arguably build any Frame for any kind of content. These frames will just have easier times in the content advised.

Endless Missions: [can have multiple rounds] Defection, Defense, Excavation, Infested Salvage, Interception, and Survival.

Non-Endless Missions: [extract after 1 round] Exterminate, Rush (Archwing), Sabotage, and Spy.

About the Mission types and their Rewards.

Index Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

These frames are built for Index. Meaning they are tanky or bring a particular skill which works well for Index.

In the perfect group; you need 1 point carrier (tank) and 3 damage dealers / utility frames.

Point Carriers / Tanks:

The aim is to hold 5/10/15 points to bank at a time. Run over the green points that drop from enemies or allies that are killed. Remember to keep an eye on the timer and bank the points (0 secs = no credits gained).

Rhino

Build rhino around Ironskin. Remember to keep it up. An example of a build can be found here.

Nezha

Stack Power Strength to improve Nezha’s Shield. Make sure you are either keeping Zenurik up, or running over the energy orbs incase you need to reapply the shield.

Damage / Utility Frames:

Place waypoints in the ground where you kill enemies for the tank to run over and pick up the green markers. If you pick them up, it lowers your armor / health, stops your energy from accrueing. So just leave it to the tank, and nuke enemies freely to make the Index over as fast as possible.

Nova

Slowva has fantastic utility here. The enemies can be very annoying jumping around and teleporting away. Slowva makes enemies much easier to hit and speeds things up incredibly. This video explains how to build her for slowing enemies.

Mesa

Mesa is a machine in here. Find somewhere up high, preferably near an energy orb or remember to use Zenurik. Enjoy peacemaker, bring a long range weapon and just snipe away.

Farming Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

These are the frames which have abilities that help you gather more resources. As of current you cannot stack these warframes abilities for even more loot (Retrieve Notes), except Ivara and Smeeta Kavat.

Desecrate [Ability], allows you to reroll each corpse, or if u have slash damage (cut an enemy into multiple pieces on death) u can reroll for each body part.

Slash Damage [Weapons], click dropdown list, click the arrow on the top right of the table, ordering by slash % is the best stat to look for.

Tentacle Swarm [Ability], puts tenticles everywhere that fuck shit up.

  • Pilfering Swarm [Mod], makes mobs caught in your tenticles drop extra loot.
  • Strangledome [Ability], creates a dome of chains which captures targets.

Pilfering Strangledome [Mod], makes mobs caught in your net drop extra loot.

Petrify [Ability], turns enemies to stone.

Ore Gaze [Mod], givies a chance to drop extra loot and codex scan.

Prowl [Ability], natively pickpockets enemies whilst in stealth.

Charm [Mod], gives the cat a spell to randomly give you a loot buff sometimes.

Tek Enhance [optional Mod], you can use this to boost the buffs acquired.

  • Retrieve [Mod], nicknamed Chesacrate (after Nekros’ Desecrate), does the same thing by rerolling a corpse for more loot.

Eidolon Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

This is the meta for eidolons. Whilst there are other frames that can down them, these are the meta group frames people will expect you to bring in a traditional group.

Spy Mission Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

The following are all the frames with a form of stealth:

Lasers

Not Immune

Guards

Lasers

Guards

Lasers

Guards

Ash

Lasers

Guards

Lasers

Guards

Alerted but Immune

ESO (Elite Sanctuary Onslaught) Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

If your in Eso, you will want one of the following frames:

Interception Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

Interception involves holding multiple points in a mission. If you are trying to solo this mission, these frames can be useful. If not, any normal frame is good for interception, preferably one with AoE capability. So the following are great for handling the entire map yourself.

Survival and Infested Salvage Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

Survival and Infested Salvage are similar in the sense that you are just AoE dpsing the entire mission and surviving. So the following are frames that have decent survivability and can do AoE dps.

Non Endless - Speed Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

Non Endless missions are those done “fast”. By fast we are talking, as fast as you can do them and still kill enemies if it is a relic mission.

Drift frame is a thing in Warframe. Where some users rate the speed of a Warframe and ranks them. A Tier List can be found here, prior one here, which can explain why some frames are chosen if I fail to explain below.

Tank Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

Tanks or tanky dps are frames who can take the brunt of the damage in a group. Usually these frames will have a specific ability making them a good tank, or a form of passive which allows them to be tankier if a dps.

Defence and Excavation Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Warframe Choices: Which Warframe for which content?

Aim: Both defense and excavation are both about protecting a singular place.

Best frames have space protection that they can use to cover a target or space around it. You generally only need one of these frames in a mission at a time:

Other great frames to bring alongside the former are AoE Damage / AoE CC frames:

Defection Frames

Siren Watcher Researcher Writer - Kubrow 4-Set Mods: Warframe Kubrow Mecha Set as Bonus High Damage

Explanation of how the Warframe Kubrow 4-Set Mods work in this build with video and gif examples using the Kubrow Mecha Set.

Author: Siren Watcher. Published: 2019-05-26.

Video

This guide is written in conjunction with the following video:

An alternate video host is Bitchute.

How the Build works

This Warframe Kubrow build uses the 4-piece Kubrow Mecha Set. Two Mods are placed on the Kubrow (Mecha Overdrive and Mecha Recharge) and two mods are placed on the Warframe (Mecha Empowered and Mecha Pulse). The set is then synced with a high status weapon. In this video the Nagantaka crossbow is used which has a base status of 39%, paired with the Kubrow it leads the Kubrow have 34% status. The Daikyu and Mutalist Cernos and other high status effect weapons also work well.

The Warframe Wiki and the Mods itself lack a lot of description so there is some discussion as to how the Set actually works. In the cases of personal testing, discussions on Reddit and YouTube comment sections, the conclusion is that the affects of the damage seem to be based off the primary weapon. For example, this Kubrow had viral damage (frost jaw + venom teeth) but I don’t think this applies as the Kubrow did not attack any targets to apply it’s status affect.

The Mecha Set operates by creating one or more focus targets that if you kill creates an explosion which kills everything within 30m. Usually extremely quickly as seen in the video with level 130 targets. Within the first GIF the kubrows marked target was the only thing killed which spread to instantly kill all 8 level 130 Arid Lancers.

I believe from testing that it goes off the status affect of the Primary weapon itself, even though the tooltip of the Warframe Mod says otherwise. It states, “their status effect” which I took to mean the Kubrows. I think this is poor phrasing and I believe it is the player’s Primary weapons status affect. So the more powerful the weapon, hypothetically, the more spread damage from killing one of the Mecha Set’s Marked Target.

Specifics

In the Gif the Nagantaka is not potato’d. It has in it; Serration, Point Strike, Bladed Rounds and an unleveled Eagle Eye mod. Oberon has on the two Mecha set mods which makes the Kubrow mark the targets faster. Sometimes causing more than one target to be up at the same time. Originally I tested the Set on Oberon because he innately has Radiation damage with his 2 which is a DoT but this didn’t really work how I thought it would.

The Warframe Kubrow had only 2 mods in it: the Mecha set mods. The gif worked exactly the same regardless of the amount of mods. For a Kubrow 7-forma build guide, usable on any Kubrow breed, a full guide can be found here.

For a summary; Dig and Ferocity (sahasa mods), Frost Jaw and Venom Teeth (raises status affect slightly, can be switched around depending on target faction, in this case it applies Viral status affect of 1459), Mecha Overdrive and Mecha Recharge, 9/10 Maul (for damage, raises slash to 1216), Fetch (utility), 9/10 Link Health (for health), and Primed Animal Instinct (utility). For a full dps build, I would switch out Primed Animal Instinct or Fetch, for Bite (crit).

Gifs of the Set in Use

Level 100 Arid Heavy Gunners.

Level 130 Arid Lancers dying from slash damage. I believe the slash stacks, if you kill the next marked target also.

Oberon’s radiation DoT not spreading with Mecha Overdrive.

In ‘the heat of combat’ sometimes the dog will mark more than one target.
