Warframe Beginner Guide

Warframe is a cooperative action game in which you play a Tenno, controlling a Warframe: a biomechanical suit with four abilities and three weapon slots. Progress means unlocking the Star Chart, collecting and levelling gear, and improving that gear with Mods.

It is a large game with very little hand holding after the first hour. The single most useful thing to know starting out is that almost nothing is permanent. Your first Warframe is not a class choice, weapons are disposable, and everything can be earned without spending money.

Your First Three Quests

1. 1.Awakening. The tutorial. Teaches movement, hacking and a boss fight, and is where you pick your first Warframe and weapons.
2. 2.Vor's Prize. Opens up Earth, the Foundry and the basics of crafting.
3. 3.The Teacher. Introduces Mods and how to install them.

Choosing a Starter Warframe

Awakening offers three. All are good, all can be re-acquired later, and none of them locks you out of anything:

Excalibur

Straightforward melee and damage

The easiest of the three to learn with. Exalted Blade gives him a reliable damage ability that does not depend on positioning, and Radial Blind is a genuine panic button.

Mag

Pulls enemies together and strips Shields

Strongest of the three against Corpus, whose Shields she removes outright. Magnetize also groups enemies, which makes her better in a squad than her damage numbers suggest.

Volt

Speed, damage and a shield for the squad

The most flexible pick. Speed helps the whole squad move, and Electric Shield is one of the few early abilities that meaningfully protects other players.

Movement

Warframe is not balanced around walking. Bullet Jump, performed by crouching then jumping, is the primary way to travel, and chaining it with a roll or an aim glide is several times faster than sprinting.

• ◆Crouch then jump to Bullet Jump. Aim it in any direction, including straight up.
• ◆Roll immediately on landing to keep the momentum.
• ◆Aim glide by holding aim while airborne, which slows your fall and steadies your shot.
• ◆Wall latch and wall run to reach vents and high ledges.

The Star Chart is the map of the solar system. Planets are connected by Junctions, and each Junction lists a handful of tasks plus a Specter fight. Clearing it opens the next planet. You do not need to complete every node on a planet to move on.

The Main Path

Thirteen planets, in the order the Junctions open them. Phobos, Ceres, Europa and Lua branch off and are worth clearing, but are not on the critical path.

Quests Worth Doing, in Order

1. 1.Once Awake (Mercury). Short, and introduces the Infested.
2. 2.Heart of Deimos (Deimos). Opens the Cambion Drift, an open world area with bounties and its own progression.
3. 3.The Archwing quest (Mars). Required for the Saturn Junction.
4. 4.Natah (Uranus). Begins the second story arc. Triggered by scanning an Oculyst.
5. 5.The Second Dream (Neptune). The game's major turning point. Avoid spoilers for this one.
6. 6.The War Within (Pluto), then Chains of Harrow (Sedna), then The Sacrifice (Void).

Progression Checklist

What to actually do on each planet, taken from the wiki's New Player Guide. These tick and are remembered, so you can work through them across sessions.

The Circuit

Once Duviri is available, The Circuit is unusually generous for content you can reach that early. Its weekly rotation awards whole Warframe parts including blueprints, some Augment mods, and occasional Aura mods. For a new player it is often the fastest route to a second and third Warframe.

Mastery Rank measures how much distinct gear you have levelled. It gates some weapons, some Mods and a handful of systems, and it raises several daily caps. It is earned by ranking up equipment you have not levelled before, so selling a weapon after maxing it keeps the Mastery.

Where Mastery Points Come From

The requirement for each rank grows quickly:

Early Unlocks Worth Aiming For

Daily Caps

The Tests

• ◆Each rank requires passing a test, played solo.
• ◆Passing puts the next test behind a 23 hour cooldown.
• ◆Failing carries no cooldown as of Update 38, so you can retry immediately.
• ◆Every test can be practised for free at Cephalon Simaris in any relay, as many times as you like.

Almost everything in Warframe is built in the Foundry from a blueprint plus resources, and then waits on a real time build timer. Warframe components take 12 hours each and the finished Warframe takes 72, so starting a build before you log off is a habit worth forming early.

The Currencies

Spending Your First 50 Platinum

• ◆Warframe slots and weapon slots. Always the right answer first.
• ◆Do not rush Foundry timers. Rushing converts Platinum into a few hours of waiting.
• ◆Do not buy Orokin Reactors or Catalysts yet. Nightwave gives them away regularly.
• ◆Do not buy Warframes outright. Most are more satisfying, and cheaper, to farm.

Nightwave

Nightwave is a free seasonal progression track with daily and weekly tasks. Its rewards include Orokin Reactors and Catalysts, Forma, Umbra Forma, Aura mods and Nitain Extract, several of which have no other reliable source. For a new player it is the highest value repeatable content in the game.

Earning Platinum Without Paying

• ◆Sell duplicate Prime parts from Void Relics. This is the standard method.
• ◆Sell spare Rivens and rare Mods once you reach Mastery Rank 2 and can Trade.
• ◆Ayatan Sculptures can be sold to other players, or handed to Maroo for Endo.

Mods are where nearly all of your power comes from. An unmodded weapon at Mastery Rank 20 is weaker than a well modded starter weapon. This section covers where they come from; the Damage Mechanics group covers how they combine.

Where Mods Come From

Upgrading Mods

Ranking a Mod up costs Endo and Credits, and raises both its effect and its drain. A maxed Serration is +165% damage at 14 drain, so a fully upgraded Mod is not automatically the right choice while your capacity is tight.

Void Relics and Prime Gear

Void Relics are the only source of Prime equipment. To open one, run a Void Fissure mission with the Relic equipped, collect 10 Reactant from the corrupted enemies, and choose a reward at the end. In a squad you see all four rewards and may pick any of them, which makes public Fissure runs meaningfully better than solo.

• ◆Duplicate Prime parts can be sold at any relay for Orokin Ducats, then spent with Baro Ki'Teer.
• ◆Prime parts are the standard thing new players trade for Platinum.
• ◆Forma blueprints are a common Relic reward, which is where your early Forma will come from.
• ◆Aya is the currency that buys Relics for Primes no longer in rotation. Our Aya farming guide covers where it drops.

Orokin Reactors, Catalysts and Forma

A Worked Example

All of the above is easier to see on a real build than to read in the abstract. This is a general purpose early game primary template, using Mods you can realistically have in your first few hours:

Notice the shape rather than the exact Mods. Serration is the base damage, Split Chamber the multishot, Vital Sense and Critical Delay the critical stats, and Speed Trigger the fire rate. Those are five different categories, which is why they multiply with each other instead of adding into one bracket. That rule is the subject of How Mods Scale Damage.

The three elemental Mods are the interesting part. Malignant Force is Toxin and Rime Rounds is Cold, and in that slot order they combine into Viral, which leaves the Heat from Thermite Rounds standing on its own. That is the Viral and Heat pairing, assembled out of Mods a new player can realistically own.

A Clan gives you a Dojo, and the Dojo's research labs hold a large set of blueprints with no other source. Joining one early is among the best things a new player can do.

What a Clan Gives You

• ◆Research labs covering entire weapon lines, including the Tenno, Energy, Chemical, Bio and Orokin labs.
• ◆Dragon Keys from the Orokin Lab, needed to open the Orokin Vaults on Deimos for Corrupted Mods.
• ◆A trading post, and people to trade with.
• ◆Decorated rooms with obstacle courses and duelling rooms.

Trading

Commonly traded: Prime parts, Rivens, rare and Corrupted Mods, Ayatan Sculptures and Arcanes. Warframe blueprints bought from the Market and most quest rewards cannot be traded.

Squad Etiquette

Resources, Credits and Mods picked up by any squad member are shared with everyone, so picking up loot never takes it from anyone. Reward selection at the end of a Void Fissure is the exception: everyone chooses independently. The rest is covered in Common Mistakes.

Most of these cost you time rather than anything permanent, but a few are genuinely hard to undo. They are collected from the wiki's New Player Guide, which keeps its own list for the same reason.

Hard to Undo

• ◆Never discard free quest or event rewards. Several include Orokin Catalysts and Reactors, which are among the most valuable items in the early game.
• ◆Do not finish a Kuva Larvling after The War Within until you have eight Requiem Mods and actually want a Lich. Killing one starts a system that is a nuisance to escape unprepared.
• ◆Sands of Inaros plays once. On the second tomb visit, scan every Kavat you can for Genetic Codes. It is the best source in the game, and the quest does not repeat.

Costly Habits

• ◆Keep a maxed Vacuum or Fetch on your Companion. Worth doing from the Venus Junction onward. Without it you walk over half your loot.
• ◆Spend your first 50 Platinum on slots, not on rushing builds or buying a Warframe. Covered in Foundry & Currencies.
• ◆Check a price reference before trading. warframe.market is the community standard and is not affiliated with Digital Extremes. This site's Market hub pulls the same data.
• ◆Extract with the host in Duviri and Railjack. A host migration part way through those missions can lose your run.

Squad Etiquette

• ◆In fast missions, do the objective first and loot second. Everyone is waiting on the objective, not on your containers.
• ◆Do not force start a countdown without asking. Someone is usually still modding.
• ◆In Survival, stay grouped. Enemy spawns follow the squad, and spreading out starves the life support.
• ◆Wait for your squad before taking an elevator or triggering a one way transition.
• ◆Be careful with Limbo. His Rift can stop teammates interacting with objectives if you are not deliberate about it.
• ◆Mark rare containers and resources with the waypoint key. It is always welcome.

Every weapon deals base damage split across one or more damage types. Mods, Arcanes, Rivens and Incarnon Evolutions build on those base values through a layered calculation:

The order of those layers is the single most useful thing to understand. Bonuses within a layer add together. Bonuses in different layers multiply. That is why a second damage mod is worth much less than your first multishot mod, and it is the idea the rest of this guide keeps returning to.

From that per shot figure the calculator derives Average Hit, Burst DPS and Sustained DPS, the last of which accounts for magazine size and reload time.

The three physical damage types, collectively called IPS, are the backbone of most weapons. Every one of them has a Status Effect worth knowing.

How Physical Mods Work

Physical mods such as Buzz Kill for Slash are additive with the base damage of that type only, not with the weapon's total:

A +120% Slash mod therefore adds 120% of the weapon's base Slash value, not of its total damage. This is the key difference from elemental mods, which calculate their bonus from the total. It is why physical mods are usually weaker per slot than a base damage mod such as Serration.

There are four base elements you can add to any weapon with mods:

Elemental mods add damage as a percentage of your total base damage, calculated after damage mods such as Serration:

Because the bonus is drawn from the total, elemental mods effectively act as another multiplier on everything your damage mods already did. That is what makes them so much stronger per slot than physical mods.

Which Damage over Time Scales with Mods

Six statuses deal damage over time: Slash, Electricity, Heat, Toxin, Gas and Blast. Only three of them have that damage increased by modding their element.

Two base elements combine into a combined element, and the order of your mod slots decides what combines with what.

The Combination Algorithm

• ◆Walk the mods in slot order, 0 to 9.
• ◆Collect each elemental stat bonus as you go.
• ◆A base element enters a pending slot. If the next base element can combine with the pending one, they merge. Otherwise the pending element is finalised and the new one takes its place.
• ◆Mods that already grant a combined element, such as a Blast mod, pass straight through without combining.

The General Purpose Combination: Viral and Heat

For most content Viral and Heat is the strongest pairing available to a new player:

• ◆Viral multiplies damage dealt to Health, from +100% at one stack to +325% at ten.
• ◆Heat applies damage over time, panics the target, and gradually strips up to 50% of its Armor.
• ◆Heat's damage over time is itself multiplied by Viral, because it is damage dealt to Health.

To build it, slot Cold, then Toxin, then Heat, in that order.

This is the section that decides whether your builds are good. Mod bonuses are applied in layers, and the rule that matters is simple: same category adds, different categories multiply.

Try It

Toggle these mods and watch the multiplier chain. Notice how adding a second damage mod moves only the first factor, while adding a multishot or critical mod introduces an entirely new one.

1. Base Damage Mods

Serration, Hornet Strike and Pressure Point affect every damage type proportionally. A maxed Serration at +165% makes each point of base damage worth 2.65 times as much. A second +165% damage mod does not double that to 5.30, it adds into the same bracket for 4.30.

2. Elemental and Physical Mods

Added on top of the scaled base, as described in the previous two sections. Elemental percentages of the same element add together, and the result is calculated from the weapon's total damage.

3. Multishot Mods

Every extra projectile carries full damage and rolls its own critical hit and status independently. Split Chamber at +90% means 1.9 effective shots per trigger pull, and it multiplies with everything above it.

4. Critical Mods

Covered in the next section.

5. Fire Rate and Attack Speed

The Stacking Rule

Critical Chance above 100% does not go to waste. Each full 100% guarantees a higher critical tier, and the remainder is the chance to reach the next one up.

Crit Tiers

The Crit Formula

This handles multi tier crits without needing a special case. For example:

• ◆250% Critical Chance with a 2.5x Critical Multiplier gives 1 + 2.5 x (2.5 - 1) = 4.75x average damage.
• ◆At 250% Critical Chance every hit is at least an orange crit, and half of all hits are red crits.

How Crit Chance Scales

Mods such as Point Strike at +150% multiply the weapon's base value, so they do far more for a weapon that already crits often than for one that does not. Warframe abilities like Harrow's Covenant add flat Critical Chance on top, which is what makes them able to lift a low crit weapon.

Status Chance is the probability that a hit applies a Status Effect, also called a proc. Each damage type has its own.

Proc Weighting

When a hit procs, which damage type triggers is weighted by the damage split. A weapon dealing 60% Slash, 20% Heat and 20% Viral procs Slash three times as often as either of the others. Adding a large elemental bonus therefore shifts not just your damage but which statuses you actually apply.

Status Priming

Priming means deliberately applying a status to weaken a target before your damage lands. Four are worth knowing:

Multishot

Multishot is among the strongest multipliers available because each extra projectile carries full damage and rolls its own critical hit and status independently.

A +90% multishot mod multiplies your output by 1.9 for a single slot.

Burst DPS

What you deal while the trigger is held, ignoring reloads:

Sustained DPS

The number that matters in a real fight, because it includes the reload:

Weapons with large magazines and quick reloads have a Sustained DPS close to their Burst DPS. Snipers and bows lose considerably more.

Charge Weapons

Enemies have four defensive layers:

Armor Damage Reduction

Level scaling clamps enemy Armor between 200 and the 2,700 cap. Drag the sliders below to see what that means in practice, and what stripping Armor is worth.

The Steel Path

Damage Attenuation

Bosses and certain special enemies use damage attenuation, a diminishing returns mechanic that soft caps how much a single hit can take off. Against those targets, consistent moderate damage outperforms one enormous hit.

Every mod costs capacity, also called drain. Your budget equals the item's rank, to a maximum of 30, and an Orokin Reactor (Warframes) or Orokin Catalyst (weapons) doubles it.

Capacity Budget

Polarity Matching

Drain is adjusted per slot by the polarity you put the mod in:

Aura and Stance Slots

Aura and Stance mods add capacity instead of consuming it, and a matching polarity doubles what they give:

Interactive Mod Simulator

Click mods to equip them and watch the capacity bar. The eight mods below total 83 drain against a budget of 60, so you cannot have them all. Choosing is the exercise.

Incarnon Evolutions

Incarnon weapons have an alternate firing mode with its own stats:

• ◆Base Incarnon stats are always active while the adapter is installed.
• ◆Evolution perks apply only when you have selected them.
• ◆Perks can add flat elemental damage, Critical Chance, Status Chance and more, on top of your mods.

Valence Bonuses on Kuva, Tenet and Coda Weapons

Lich and Sister weapons carry an innate elemental bonus:

The element is decided by the Lich or Sister that generated the weapon, not by the weapon itself, and it can be transferred between two copies of the same weapon. It is added as elemental damage and will combine with your mod elements, so a Valence element can quietly ruin an intended combination.

Self Enhancing Set Mods

The Umbral set bonus increases each equipped Umbral mod's own stat, rather than granting a separate bonus:

Each also grants +11% Tau Resistance. All three cost 16 drain at max rank, which is why a full Umbral build usually needs several Forma.

Rivens

Riven mods roll randomised stats scaled by the weapon's disposition:

Disposition is set per weapon and moves with how much the community uses it. Popular weapons have low dispositions and weak Rivens; rarely used weapons roll much larger numbers. Rivens are a late consideration, well after your first Forma.

Conditional and Galvanized Mods

• ◆Galvanized mods, such as Galvanized Chamber, gain stacks on kill, with each stack adding multishot or damage.
• ◆Weapon Arcanes, such as Primary Merciless, build stacks over the course of a fight.
• ◆The melee combo multiplier rises with consecutive hits.

These make a build look far stronger on paper than it is on the first shot. The calculator lets you set the stack count so you can compare a realistic mid fight number against the theoretical maximum.

External Buffs

Warframe ability buffs apply as their own multiplicative layer, which is what makes them so strong. Rhino's Roar is the clearest example at +50% at max rank before Ability Strength is taken into account.

Warframe ships with defaults that suit nobody in particular. These are the settings worth changing early, taken from the wiki's New Player Guide. None of them are required, and none affect balance.

Keybinds

Accessibility

These are filed under Accessibility but several are simply more comfortable for everyone:

• ◆Turn off Hold to Sprint so one press keeps you sprinting.
• ◆Set semi automatic and burst weapons to behave as full automatic, which saves a great deal of clicking.
• ◆Set quick time events to Hold rather than repeated presses.
• ◆Turn off screen shake. It is the single most common setting people change.
• ◆Turn on enemy and ally highlighting, which helps a lot in crowded rooms.

Display and Audio

• ◆Motion Blur, Depth of Field and Film Grain are all optional and commonly turned off.
• ◆The FPS display also shows your ping and memory use, which is useful when diagnosing a bad squad.
• ◆Turn on chat message timestamps so you do not reply to an hour old message.
• ◆Ally Mandachord volume is separate from your own, so you can mute other people's Octavia music without muting yours.

Matchmaking

Everything in this guide, compressed. Verified against Update 43: Jade Shadows: Constellations.

Capacity and Polarity

The Stacking Rule

The categories, in the order the calculation applies them:

• ◆Base Damage (Serration, Hornet Strike, Pressure Point)
• ◆Elemental damage, calculated from the weapon's total damage
• ◆Multishot (Split Chamber, Barrel Diffusion)
• ◆Critical Chance and Critical Damage
• ◆Fire Rate or Attack Speed

Physical mods are the exception: they add a percentage of that damage type's base value only, not of the weapon's total, which is why they are usually the weakest slot for slot.
