Tips for Playing Warframe for New Players in 2021

Warframe is a Free to play RPG action game that is still popular to this day. Usually present on multiple platforms on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and even Switch, these online games have managed to maintain their existence for 7 years. In particular, when it first launched on PC in 2021.

The game created by Digital Extreme also already has a massive amount of game content in 2021. Especially from the third open world content update that has recently aired (Heart of Deimos).

So massive, the Warframe game itself may seem so cruel to players who are just starting their adventures in this game. Not to mention coupled with the many mechanics of playing features that can feel complex if not studied properly.

And starting from that, we want to give important tips for players so they don’t feel bored in guessing the best form of playing experience they can get in Warframe.

Prepare mentally and patiently to want to “process”

Before we explain the contents of our tips further, you should know that Warframe is basically a very extensive game. In order to get an important and satisfying prize, you must be willing to have the patience to do many things over and over again.

If you don’t want to compromise at all, Warframe is arguably not a game that is quite suitable for you. Believe it or not, the magical power that makes this game quite loved is from this. When your struggles have really paid off, you can feel a greater satisfaction and pride in playing Warframe.

Don’t waste the opportunity to take loot or resources

Another main tip that you need to remember when you start playing Warframe is to make sure you always destroy objects or open lockers to take various materials, credits, endo, mods that are in each mission. This is also very important to do.

Each material that you collect each has a very essential function in order to continue your playing progress. Mainly so that you can more easily craft weapons, Warframe parts, and various items needed.

Focus on completing quests and workable mission nodes on each planet

While slowly looking for loot and resources or waiting for the results of crafting items until your new Warframe is complete, you can try to run many things at the same time. Especially by going on unexplored node missions on each planet according to your Warframe abilities and weaponry. Not to forget also by completing the main story quest which is also provided by this game.

Because of the benefits, in addition to getting exp/affinity to increase MR, you will also have access to a variety of optional missions that you will also need to study later (important examples such as the Void Fissure).

Rhino, a must-have Warframe

When fighting a boss on the planet Venus (named Fossa), it is quite recommended that you continue to farm the boss in order to get complete parts from Warframe Rhino. When you already have it, this Warframe will be very helpful in various missions. Especially for the survivability that he has in his second skill (Iron Skin).

In addition, Rhino also has a buff skill to increase weapon attack damage as well as an ulti skill that really plays a role as crowd control.

Raise Mastery rank

Mastery Rank (MR) more or less plays a role like the level of progression for your account. It is very important to increase MR to increase mod capacity, the number of void traces to upgrade relics, to access certain weapons or warframes.

The main mechanism for increasing MR apart from completing node missions to quests is to raise the level/rank of the Warframe, weapon, and pet/companion you first had to rank 30.

Even if you feel dissatisfied or match the weapon you have, it is highly recommended that you raise its rank first to the maximum before throwing it away.

Managing Platinum by trading

The limitations of weapon slots and Warframes are often a scourge for new players. The existence of Platinum as a premium currency seems to suggest that this game is quite pay-to-win. In fact, it’s not really like that.

If you are one of the many players who are still a bit reluctant to spend money, you can actually farm platinum for free by using trading services.

In trading, you yourself can sell certain items to other players which can be exchanged for platinum via the hub in maroo bazaar or by paying attention to the special chat in the trade section. The unique items that are sold most commonly come from rewarding content in a number of special mission content.

The easiest, of course, you can start first by selling the gift sets of relic parts that you successfully got at the Void Fissure. Plus, after selling the Riven Mod, you can get the chance from the “sortie” mission content after completing one of the main quests. You can immediately use the sales results to add your favorite weapon and Warframe slots.

And while you want to sell it, don’t forget to always actively visit the warframe.market site to find out the benchmark market price of this collection of interesting items.

Learn the combination of elements of the mod and the weaknesses of the enemies

When you get to the planet Jupiter and beyond, not a few new players will start to be quite overwhelmed in dealing with the enemies on the planet. So you seem to be required to learn the weaknesses of these enemy factions.

What is worth remembering and learning, Grineer enemies are known to have a weakness for puncture attacks and Corrosive elements.

The corrosive element itself is obtained by combining electrical and toxin element mods that can be attached to your weapon. For higher levels, you can also try radiation (fire x electricity) and viral (ice x toxin) elements when dealing with a variant of the grineer enemy that looks stronger.

While enemies from the Coprus faction are usually weak with impact attacks and magnetic elements (electricity x ice). Gas elements (fire and toxin) can also be an advanced option to penetrate the shield they have.

Then for infested enemies in particular are also weak against gas elements and slash attacks.

Among them all for new players, the corrosive element is actually the most universal option to choose from if you have trouble finding the right combination of mod elements in each of your weapons.

Aim for K-Drive to explore open world content.

Compared to Archwing, it seems more grindy to get, first getting a skateboard-like vehicle, namely K-Drive, is a more efficient choice to be able to comfortably explore 3 pieces of open world content at the beginning of the game.

The way to get it is quite simple, namely by directly visiting the Fortuna node on the planet Venus. There, talk to the NPC named Eudico to go through a quest called “Vox Solaris”. Complete the quest and you will be rewarded with a K-Drive Launcher and an attractive blueprint for the Garuda Warframe.

When trying out open world content, try to focus more on collecting various special materials by trying out at least mini games for mining and fishing.

Looking for Clan + don’t be shy to ask

As a final tip, Warframe is a multiplayer online game. Incidentally, Digital Extreme provides a feature that allows players to get together and socialize with each other.

Of course, from the existence of clans and dojos, new players can be greatly helped by things they don’t really understand about this game. Because the dojo facilities for a more complete level also provide many types of exclusive weapon blueprint options that you can get in order to find additional MR.

The easiest tip if you want to find a clan that contains Indonesians is that you can immediately join the community of Indonesian Warframe players, either on Facebook or Discord. When you enter, don’t be shy about asking if there is something you still don’t understand.

If so, those are the guiding tips that we can give if you are all experiencing an experience that is completely constrained when you first play the Warframe game. Hopefully these tips can be quite helpful in maximizing your experience in a game that does require a lot of dedication.
