Warframe - News, Guides, and More

The Eleanor Bounty in Warframe requires players to destroy five Scaldra Barbican shields. Many players mistakenly assume the mission is bugged because the shields do not count when they kill the Barbicans. However, the trick lies in understanding shield mechanics and executing precise strategies to avoid killing the Scaldra Barbican prematurely. Here is a comprehensive guide to help you succeed with quickly destroying Barbican shields in Warframe.

Understanding Shields and Shield Gating

Shields in Warframe are a defensive layer that must break before damage is taken to health. They regenerate after taking no damage for a brief period:

The Warframe 1999 update introduces a wealth of new content, including the Calendar progression system, expanded endgame narrative, and quality-of-life improvements.

Central to the update is the 1999 Calendar, a reward system tied to activities in Höllvania. The Calendar is unlocked after completing The Hex quest and interacting with the Pom-2 in key locations like the Orbiter or Höllvania Central Mall.

Warframe‘s Cyte-09 focuses on using his weapons to take out foes, and his abilities help him make the most out of his deadly accuracy. With the right build, you can take enemies packs of enemies with a single bullet, even if there’s a wall or two blocking your way.

The 59th unique Warframe can be devastating with his kit, especially when using his exalted sniper rifle, the Neutralizer, or his powerful invisibility skill, Evade. He’s a truly versatile frame, so there are multiple ways to build him. Here are some of our favorite Cyte-09 builds in Warframe.

The best gift in Warframe‘s 1999 update was the friends we made along the way. If you can’t find the right presents for the Hex, that is.

You can befriend and romance all members of the Hex Syndicate in Warframe: 1999. It takes some time before the relationships grow, however, and one of the ways to improve your Chemistry with the Hex is by giving them gifts they’ll enjoy.

Love is in the air in Warframe, and it’s not because of the Techrot. The 1999 Update lets you romance members of the Hex, including Eleanor Nightingale—Arthur’s sister, the Hex psychic, and the woman who has (and will) become Nyx.

Finding the key to Eleanor’s heart may not be easy, however. Choosing the right dialogue prompts helps, but if you can’t get a straight path to a New Year’s Eve kiss with Ms. Nightingale, you can continue to improve your Chemistry with her to advance your relationship. 

Warframe‘s 1999 Update brings eight new powerful Arcanes, and any Tenno might want them in their arsenal. Getting these new tools requires you to save Höllvania and interact with the new content, getting a taste of the good old ’90s.

The new Arcanes in 1999 can give you a swooping set of bonuses and act in different play spaces. Arguably the most promising of them, Arcane Bellicose, grants you heaps of ability strength based on your maximum health, so Inaros, Grendel, and Kullervo are perfect fits for it.

Warframe 1999 is Warframe‘s latest major update and expansion, adding a slew of new mechanisms and elements like the new Chemistry system, which requires you to manage your relationships with several characters, but it can be tricky to fully understand.

Here’s all you need to know to increase your Chemistry rank in Warframe 1999.

Warframe‘s major updates are always a joy for fans—at least for those who don’t get stuck with an infinite initializing bar after booting up the launcher.

Glitches are inevitable in a game as old as Warframe, and Digital Extremes’ main title isn’t an exception. If you’ve played a significant amount of it, you may have a pet bug that often appears in your play sessions. (In my case, that’s being stuck without moving or shooting after getting in and out of Transcendence too quickly in a high-ping match.)

Epitaph Prime is the new form for arguably the best primer weapon in Warframe. And, as a bonus, all you have to do is open Relics to farm this weapon—no Railjack involved.

Epitaph Prime debuted alongside Sevagoth Prime, and the process of getting both is similar. You must open Relics until you get the desired drops, though you can only open each Relic once. Because of this, stocking up on Epitaph Prime Relics is the best way to even your odds of getting this weapon. Here are our go-to spots for farming Relics in Warframe.

Sevagoth, the Haunted Helmsman, is back in Warframe with his own Prime variant. As usual, you can unlock him by finding Sevagoth Prime Relics all over the Sol System, but knowing the best locations to farm them will save you some time.

Once you have the Relics you need, you can open them at any corresponding Void Fissure mission. All available Relic missions appear in the Navigation tab, but some parts are rarer than others.
