Warframe and Soulframe Make an Apprearance at PAX East 2024 Read More »

To borrow Digital Extremes’ own words, they’ve certainly pushed the boat out with Warframe 1999. The Metal Gear Solid-inspired questline has exploding motorcycles, the game’s first-ever dating sim, and a pounding, industrial metal soundtrack that’s absolute perfection. But none of that means anything without a solid cast of characters - in this instance, The Hex, our merry, Guardians of the Galaxy-esque band of protoframe misfits. It’s a star-studded cast both in and outside of the game, with Final Fantasy 16 and Expedition 33’s Ben Starr captaining the squad as the rough-and-ready Arthur, and Cyberpunk 2077’s Alpha Takahashi causing chaos as Aoi. They’re pitted against Resident Evil’s Nick Apostolides, the seemingly harmless frontman of boy band On-Lyne who, it turns out, isn’t just a pretty face.

Steve Sinclair, CEO of Warframe studio Digital Extremes, reckons publishers should give live service games more time to find their footing, and not see dodgy release periods as a "make or break" indicator of a game’s success. "It comes out, doesn’t work and they throw it away," Sinclair told VGC.

Incarnon weapons are a fascinating area of Warframe weapon evolutions. The ability to use Incarnon Genesis upgrades to existing weapons adds a level of customizability, allowing players to tailor builds more effectively.

This system is only available through Warframe's story content, so if you want to unlock Incarnon weapons, you will need to complete at least the Angels of the Zariman questline. Additionally, to get the most out of it, you should ideally unlock the Steel Path and the Circuit, too. This guide includes some light spoilers for those plotlines, all outlining how to unlock the Incarnon weapons in Warframe.

Warframe Incarnon Weapons: Unlock requirements and details

The unique fluid metal look of Incarnon weapons comes from their transformation by the Void itself. You will no doubt recognise their striking visual design from the internal architecture of the Void-twisted Zariman, and this also reflects their changeable nature.

Each Incarnon weapon has multiple stages of evolution, which must be unlocked with particular achievements, similar to unlocking Rivens, though thankfully a little more consistent than Riven unlocks. The early levels often have easy requirements, while the unique Incarnon weapons have tougher Tier III Evolution challenges linked to missions on the Zariman or the Sanctum Anatomica.

You can purchase the blueprint for your first Incarnon, the Laetum, through Cavalero on the Zariman after unlocking the Holdfasts during the Angels of the Zariman plotline. The blueprint costs 3000 standing, but can be obtained from standing level 0 with the Holdfasts. T

The Laetum is a strong starting Incarnon weapon, with a chunky semi-automatic pistol as its basic form that deals radiation damage with an overall above-average statline. As you achieve headshots with it during missions, the central reticule fills up and you can use the alt fire to transform it into a dangerous automatic rifle. With an easy first evolution to unlock, the Laetum is a great introduction to the Incarnon system and remains one of the best Incarnon weapons.

Additional Incarnon weapon evolutions in Warframe

Every Incarnon evolution after the first allows players to choose a different bonus to weapon stats like damage and reload speed, or particular effects such as providing Overshields when particular conditions are met. These evolutions can be changed at any time, allowing players to tinker with different builds to get the best effect.

You can gain additional unique Incarnon weapons from Cavalero or the Sanctum Anatomica (following Whispers in the Walls and the Deadlock Protocol), and you can transform your existing weapons into Incarnon versions with an Incarnon Genesis upgrade, gained from the Steel Path Circuit. The ordinary Circuit rewards players with Warframe pieces, but the Steel Path Circuit offers two options for Incarnon Genesis upgrades each week.

These come from a battle-pass-style reward path. They're on a similar weekly rotation to the Warframe pieces in the ordinary Circuit, so if there isn't an option you like right now, you could always wait for it to reset. If you are aiming for a particular Incarnon Genesis weapon, you can also predict when it will next come up. That said, Incarnon forms often significantly change how a weapon feels to play, meaning that it's a good opportunity to revisit weapons in your arsenal that have lain untouched for some time.

While some resources in Warframe can be difficult to acquire and utilize a very specific farming method, other resources are easy to come by. In trade, you need a lot of them to be able to craft what you want. One such resource shows up quite commonly but is used in many different recipes. Here's how to get Fish Oil in Warframe.

Where to farm Fish Oil in Warframe

Fish Oil is acquired by catching any fish from the Plains of Eidolon and skinning it. These fish can be skinned at Fisher Hai-Luk for free through the Cut Fish dialogue option, and you can cut as many fish as you can catch. Alongside Fish Oil, you'll get several other resources for other recipes such as Amps, Zaws, frame components, and more.

The amount of Fish Oil you'll get from a fish will depend on the fish you catch and its size. For example, a small Sharrac will grant two Fish Oil, while a large Sharrac will grant four. With this inconsistency in mind, the best fish for Fish Oil is the Murkray, rewarding seven, eight, and nine Fish Oil for small, medium, and large respectively. Murkray can be acquired from Ocean hotspots, through which you must use Murkray Bait also purchased from Fisher Hai-Luk. While looking for Murkray, be sure to catch any other fish you see so you can get their Fish Oil as well.

What is Fish Oil used for?

Fish Oil is primarily used in Grips and Braces for both Zaws and Amps respectively. Alongside them, you'll need some for Twilight Bait, Grendel's Systems, and the Archwing Launcher segment. If you want to build one of everything, you'll need a total of 660 Fish Oil. For every bit of Twilight Bait you craft, add 10 to that counter.

Warframe's Duviri region is a land full of secrets and mystery. Aside from completing its main objective and claiming those resources, exploring can prove quite lucrative, with plenty more to collect and build. One such weapon can be found in Duviri but is a bit difficult to obtain. Here's how to get the Cinta bow in Warframe.

Where to get the Cinta in Warframe

The Cinta's blueprint and its component blueprints is found by solving Enigma puzzles within Duviri. These are small pillars with various symbols on them, often accompanied by Paragrimms sitting on top of them. These puzzles involve shooting various containers to acquire the three symbols listed on the pillars. They can be either solo or require another player's teamwork to complete.

Once you get all three symbols aligned, the pillar will open and drop an array of loot. Among these will be a chance for the Cinta blueprint to drop, alongside the Grip, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, and String blueprints. Each blueprint has an equal 20% chance to drop.

Once you have all the blueprints, you'll need the following to craft each of the four component parts:

• Cinta Grip Blueprint
  • 40x Kovnik
  • 6x Maw Fang
  • 50x Lamentus
  • 80x Aggristone

• Cinta Upper Limb Blueprint
  • 40x Yao Shrub
  • 60x Dracroot
  • 50x Lamentus
  • 80x Aggristone

• Cinta Lower Limb Blueprint
  • 40x Eevani
  • 100x Ariette Scale
  • 50x Lamentus
  • 20x Silphsela

• Cinta String Blueprint
  • 40x Connla Sprout
  • 20x Tasoma Extract
  • 50x Lamentus
  • 70x Saggen Pearl

Each of these components takes 12 hours to craft, while the main blueprint will add 12 hours for a total of 24 hours if you start building each component simultaneously. Once all that time passes, however, the Cinta will finally be yours.

Is the Cinta worth using?

The Cinta is a bow capable of firing "perfect shots"; releasing the shot right before fully charging it deals bonus damage. This will make the projectile much larger, and inflict more damage over a wider area. This is similar to the Nataruk, another bow that is acquired through a late-game main story quest. While this means the Cinta is quite strong, it is outclassed by the Nataruk thanks to the latter being a powerhouse. If you don't have the Nataruk yet, it's a great alternative.

Jade Shadows is the next known update coming to Warframe, revisiting the Stalker, introducing the new frame, and significant reworks in the game’s mechanics. In the 180th DevStream, we had a good look into what’s to come in the update.

Warframe Jade Shadows release date

The Jade Shadows update will be coming to Warframe on June 18 on all platforms. It’ll be in the style of a typical update where we get a quest, a new frame, a new game mode, new weapons, balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, and several tweaks.

What to expect in Jade Shadows

While this may be a traditional Warframe update, Jade Shadows will be a cinematic quest that will last roughly up to 25 minutes. It’ll focus on what happens to The Stalker post-New War while introducing Jade.

Because of this, you will have to progress through the game’s questline up until the completion of The New War. The dev team at Digital Extremes also requests that players be mindful of spoilers when this is released, so it’ll be important for upcoming expansions.

Status rework

One of the bigger tweaks coming in this update has to be the rework to the Blast, Cold, and Magnetic status effects. Right now, the elements pertaining to Toxin and its combinations reign supreme along with Fire. The aforementioned procs are to be reworked in a way that brings them up to snuff.

It’s too soon to tell if this will flip the meta entirely, but it does already sound like it’s making every elemental combination viable in the endgame. 

Warframe Jade Shadows new game mode

Along with the quest and status rework, there will be a new game mode coming to Warframe called “Ascension”. It seems to be a multiple-phase game mode where you first defend an objective, then go into an elevator and escort an objective with you.

From this elevator part, you have to power the mechanism up with batteries while avoiding a bunch of hazards and hard-hitting enemies. Should you fall or mess up, you must climb back up and maintain the energy of the elevator going upward. 

The final part seems to borrow from the mechanics of the Hijack mode where you then have to escort a moving payload and prevent it from being destroyed. 

So, in short, this game mode will require players to be very mobile, utilizing all the movement techniques in Warframe. At the same time, they have to sport a decent build that can take down tough enemies. 

There will also be an event tied to this mode as the update comes out called Belly of the Beast. Rewards include Arcane Enhancements from previous events and more. 

Additional things coming with Jade Shadows

There will be huge UI improvements coming to Jade Shadows like missions depicting enemy resistance and weaknesses. You’ll also be able to edit your loadout while at the Star Chart menu for a more streamlined mission approach. 

Many more improvements to the new user experience will be made that will benefit veterans too. Such things include damage numbers and how they’re displayed, polarity matching, fast travel menus, and more.

Finally, we’ll be getting new Augment mods for Protea, Qorvex, Dagath, and Sevagoth. There’s so much to unpack for fans of the upcoming frame and those who will be affected by the status reworks.

A game doesn’t have to be newly released for it to require some guidance to get through, as this week’s batch of tips will prove. From the OG Final Fantasy 7 to Metal Gear Solid 2, there’s some older games that people have been recently dipping into that may require some support to get through. Thats’ what we’re here…

Warframe feels like it has been around forever. And yet despite being 11 years into its run as a live-service game, it still has a thriving fanbase, thanks to a crucial combination of community goodwill and a game that’s legitimately fun to play and is always getting cool, new stuff. But for those considering jumping…

Today, Airship Syndicate announced the return of its online action-RPG Wayfinder, albeit with a few key differences. Though the game was pulled from Steam while its previous publisher, Digital Extremes (Warframe), was transferring the rights to developer Airship, it is set to land on the storefront again on June 11…

When it comes to most resources in Warframe, it's a straightforward deal. You get the resources you need, then use them to craft what you want. However, not all resources are so simple. Some contribute toward things that could lead you to craft what you want. One such resource is integral for the Prime gear-grinding loop of the mid-late game. Here's how to farm Aya in Warframe.

Where to farm Aya in Warframe

Aya is earned through either completing Bounty stages or through Void missions. Void missions are arguably the worst of the two options since these can take longer and give fewer chances at Aya. Instead, you should focus on Bounties across Cetus, Fortuna, the Necralisk, and the Sanctum Anatomica. Each Bounty has a chance to include Aya, so you may need to check a few vendors before a Bounty has Aya as a possible reward.

When choosing a good Bounty, you should select the lowest level Bounty that includes Aya as a possible reward. All Aya rewards from Bounties give one Aya, so there's no benefit to completing higher-level Bounties unless you want another reward. Once you have one in mind, simply farm it endlessly until you have as much Aya as you want.

What is Aya used for?

Aya is used at Varzia's shop in Maroo's Bazaar (found on Mars) to purchase Void Relics. These Relics are different from the usual ones you get as mission rewards since they contain the Prime parts of frames, weapons, and other gear that have been temporarily unvaulted.

For example, the previous Prime Resurgence event saw Inaros Prime, Ash Prime, Carrier Prime, along with various weapons and cosmetics become part of these Void Relics. You should get as many of these Relics as you can and open them since there's no telling when they will return.

If you wanted to write a book about all resources in Warframe and how to get them, you probably could. This game has an encyclopedia of resources and ways to get them, though it isn't too overbearing since each resource has a distinct purpose that isn't useful across the entire game, but rather in one aspect. One such resource has limited uses but can be tough to acquire. Here's how to get and use Seriglass Shards in Warframe.

Where to get Seriglass Shards in Warframe

Seriglass Shards are acquired by speaking with Grandmother in the Necralisk. When interacting with her, check out her Oddities through the conversation options and you should see Seriglass Shards listed. Each Seriglass Shard costs 20 Grandmother Tokens, which are acquired either through trading other family Tokens with Grandmother, finding them randomly, or through trading Deimos resources through the Mend the Family dialogue option with Grandmother. Provided you're interacting with Deimos regularly, you should be able to get enough Grandmother Tokens to purchase a Seriglass Shard.

If you don't immediately need a Seriglass Shard, Grandmother Tokens can also be used to purchase an assortment of decorations from her shop. They can also be traded in for 1,500 Standing with the Entrati Syndicate.

What are Seriglass Shards used for?

Seriglass Shards have two uses, Entrati Standing and several weapons. The Quassus, Trumna, and Sepulcrum blueprints each require one Seriglass Shard to craft. Additionally, the final rank of Family with the Entrati requires a Seriglass Shard. This totals four Seriglass Shards, or 80 Grandmother Tokens to purchase everything on offer. That will take a lot of time, but you should get most Grandmother Tokens you need through working toward max rank with the Entrati Syndicate.

Temporal Erosion is an interesting Augment Mod for Protea in Warframe. You hear "armor strip" and think this could be the thing to turn the time-defying gadgeteer into the meta. 

In any case, here is what you need to know about her Temporal Erosion mod and if it’s worth using in your builds in Warframe.

How to get Temporal Erosion in Warframe

To get the Temporal Erosion mod in Warframe, you must reach the final rank in either the Arbiters of Hexis or the Perrin Sequence Syndicates. The mod will cost 25,000 Standing and will come unranked.

The reason why you have to progress to the maximum level in those respective Syndicates is because Warframe Augment Mods become available at that rank. This applies to the four other pledge-able ones in the game too (ex. Steel Meridian, Red Veil, New Loka, Cephalon Suda).

If you are in neither of the Syndicates where this mod is purchasable, you can seek out other players via the Trade chat who are. Typically, a Warframe Augment mod from the Syndicate vendors costs about 15 Platinum.

With the boost in Protea’s popularity given her recent release of the Prime version, people might bump up prices. In any case, look for 10 to 15 for an Unranked version of this mod. Don’t get scammed.

Is Temporal Erosion worth it?

In some small cases, Temporal Erosion could be worth it. However, in our Protea Prime build, you can do just fine without the added armor strip. 

The reason for that is her Blaze Artillery does Heat damage. This damage type already strips armor and is strong across all enemy factions in the game. Her Grenade Fan ability does Slash damage, so you have two of the strongest damage types in the game in one Warframe.

Protea’s Temporal Anchor is a bit of a niche ability in the game and doesn’t last too long, even with proper modding. So you’re creating a heavily energy-dependent build just to get a few extra stacks of armor strip.

That said, Temporal Erosion does have its uses, but as you reach higher levels in the game, energy upkeep will be the difference between life and death. You’re better off leaving that free slot for something more practical.

Trying to make a build for anything in Warframe can be a daunting prospect. You need to find eight separate mods that synergize well with a specific purpose, level those mods up, Forma various slots so you can fit these mods, and find an Arcane that suits that build well. That build may not even do well after all that time and effort.

One of the new weapons added with Protea Prime's release is a good weapon to make a build for, provided you like the feel of the original variant. Here's the best build for Okina Prime in Warframe.

The best mod setup for Okina Prime in Warframe

The Okina Prime is best known for its high Attack Speed and Crit Chance values without factoring in mods, so we're looking for mods that further enhance both stats. This turns the Okina Prime into a dual-dagger powerhouse, dealing tons of damage in a flurry of attacks to overwhelm your opponent. The best mods for this setup are as follows:

• Spinning Needle (Stance)
• Blood Rush
• Gladiator Vice
• Quickening
• Primed Fever Strike
• Organ Shatter
• Weeping Wounds
• Condition Overload
• Berserker Fury

This leaves the Exilus slot unused, though you'll be required to use a few more Forma on these blades to get something interesting slotted in. You can do that if you enjoy min-maxing, but it's unnecessary. You can also swap out Organ Shatter for a Riven mod if you dabble in that sort of thing.

As for the Arcane, I suggest you slot in either Melee Crescendo or Melee Duplicate based on personal preference. Melee Crescendo ups that initial Combo Counter, letting you dish out even more Crits with that heightened Critical Chance off your mods. Melee Duplicate, on the other hand, is more DPS. Who doesn't want more DPS?

The release of new Prime frames in Warframe is always a big moment for players. Not only is it a new way to get Mastery, but it's a fun rush as you scrounge up any relics you can to give yourself a shot at getting parts for the new frame and weapons. The normal way to get these relics is to farm them from missions, though there's another way that can be a bit faster. Here's where you can buy Relic Packs in Warframe.

Where to purchase Relic Packs in Warframe

Relic Packs are available as part of the offerings of any of the six Syndicates, going for a rate of one Relic Pack for every 20,000 Standing. That means if you have the max Standing with a Syndicate, you can get six Relic Packs for a total of 18 Relics. The offerings of each Syndicate are found by accessing the appropriate console at the front left of your Orbiter's cockpit and selecting your highest-ranking Syndicate.

If you have excess Standing with any of the major open-world factions (found in Cetus, Fortuna, and the Necralisk), then you can interact with the mining vendor at that location to purchase Relic Packs for 20,000 Standing.

There's one final way to get Relic Packs, though not through Standing. By completing all nodes on the star chart and unlocking The Steel Path, you can interact with Teshin at any relay and look at his Steel Path Honors shop to purchase 25 Relic Packs a week, going at 15 Steel Essence per pack. This resets every Sunday at 5 p.m. PT, making it a good way to get a ton of relics should you play Steel Path regularly.

Are Relic Packs worth getting?

Whether you should buy these Relic Packs depends entirely on your patience. It is possible to farm specific relics from various missions, though you depend on RNG more heavily than Relic Packs. These are more efficient, though you could snag a ton of junk relics if luck isn't on your side. If you have a ton of Standing or Steel Essence collecting dust, then knock yourself out.

(Information on Steam’s top games were gathered for this article from Steam Charts)

A couple of weeks ago I went through eight of the most popular Steam games at the time, and linked which Logical Increments PC build tier is needed to play that game at a specific performance level. Well, that proved to be a popular article, so I’m here to round out the list with more of Steam’s most successful titles (and maybe a couple trending ones)!

I strongly recommend also checking out the previous list, and even the much older list I made with similar goals way back in January 2020.

Something that surprised me as I went through the list last month was how closely linked 1440p resolution at 120 frames per second (1440p120) and 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (4K60) were. I guess it’s not too much of a surprise since 4K is more-or-less double the amount of pixels in 1440p, but I still found it intriguing that you could sometimes get away with a system that was one tier lower at 4K60 than the 1440p120 ones. In a way, it makes sense: lower frame rates tend to be more stable than higher frame rates, and your processor isn’t having to work as hard since only half the amount of frames are being generated.

And, as you’ll now see, that trend continues here!

Criteria:

As I mentioned in the previous article, Logical Increments keeps its primary tier list consistently updated, showing you the cost of building systems geared towards particular performance milestones. From the humble ‘Destitute’ system to the jaw-dropping ‘Monstrous’ setup, it shows what is attainable at each price point, offers a roadmap for some upgrading, and generally makes it convenient to knit together a balanced system with top-notch parts.

With that list in hand, we can match each of the most popular games on Steam right now with a Logical Increments tier. In this piece, I cross-referenced eight of the most played Steam games with our tier list to see what is required to hit 60 frames per second at 1080p (referenced as 1080p60), 120 frames per second at 1440p (referenced as 1440p120), and 60 frames per second at 4K (referenced as 4k60).

Back in the old 2020 version of this exercise, I stuck to certain non-negotiables for a system to land in a specific category. In this article and last month’s article, though, I made a few changes:

• The lion’s share of the time, we’re talking 99% or more, it had to cruise within 10% of the minimum frames per second or higher at the chosen resolution. So, I care more about the ‘minimum’ than the ‘average’ frames per second.
• It had to strut with at least very high graphical settings.

What should you do with this information? Find the games you play most often, or at least the games that interest you. Look at the resolution and frames per second you’re interested in, and (assuming you’re not bursting your budget), get the suggested tier for a satisfying, pleasant experience. You won’t have any regrets, as these systems have been vetted to ensure a proper balance of performance and price.

Now, let’s get on with what you came here for! On with the games!

Games:

Naraka: Bladepoint

We covered PUBG, Apex, and Warzone last month, and this is yetanother free-to-play battle royale game. I guess those are pretty popular at the moment? Anyway, this game differs from many others in that it features a melee-based combat system inspired by martial arts. There have been a few comparisons to Apex Legends, but it still stands out with a style that, according to former Rock Paper Shotgun writer Matt Cox, is a game where “fighting game aficionados will feel right at home” with its mix of combos and rock-paper-scissors-style combat. Cox summarizes, “charged attacks beat normal attacks, parries beat charged attacks, and normal attacks beat parries”. But what do you need to run the game? Well, according to its Steam page, it “requires ‘Windows Memory integrity and VBS enablement’ to be disabled.” That’s unusual. But, hey, it’s still popular.

Grand Theft Auto V

Explore the world of Los Santos and Blaine County! …Again! Team up with friends, do missions, go crazy! This game was released on Steam in April 2015, and it has maintained a high level of popularity throughout that time. It’s just a fun multiplayer game with friends. Nothing too stressful, nothing too competitive. So, what do you need to enjoy this level of mayhem? Considering how old the game is, I don’t think you need much. Heck, the minimum requirements include an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 with a 9800 GT or HD 4870! One thing to consider throughout all of this is that MSAA is crazily hardware-intensive, so if you want to play with that enabled, jump up two tiers from my recommendations.

Battlefield V

Ah, another ‘V’. This first-person shooter interestingly reached its peak popularity for the year on the 27th of November. I wonder how much Modern Warfare 3 influenced that. Anyway, for a game that came out a few years ago, the graphics still hold up nicely and it’s just an all-round fun experience. For the most part anyway.

War Thunder

Even though it came out around 10 years ago in August 2013, War Thunder has been steadily rising in popularity. In fact, its most popular day was around late March or early May of this year. How crazy is that? As a military MMO, this game pays high attention to detail and focuses on realism and authenticity—at least as much as a game can be, whilst still being accessible. Still, it’s got plenty of planes, tanks, and ships.

Football Manager 2024

Well, this is a peculiar one. It doesn’t really need graphics power unless you want to watch your team run around in 3D—but even then the graphics are nothing amazing. Really, this is like a glorified spreadsheet, though I will say it’s become a little simpler and more friendly towards beginners than it used to be.

Warframe

Set sometime in the fairly distant future, Warframe has you team up with other crazy metal ninjas and slice and dice your way through thousands (if not tens of thousands) of enemies that are powerless to stop your onslaught. You can also breed pets, that will help you slice and dicce you way through thousands (if not tens of thousands) of enemies. Grind, collect loot, build more powerful weapons, get more powerful classes (which are also known as frames), and relax as you’ve sliced and diced your way through a million or so enemies and they keep coming back for more.

Tevi

I don’t know too much about this game, as it’s just been released within a day or so of me writing this (which probably accounts for it making its way into this list, by riding a wave of release traffic). But, according to its Steam page, it is self-described as a “bullet hell metroidvania.” Neat! Based on its art style and recommended specifications, I doubt it really requires anything significant considering it’s a 2D game.

Conclusion:

There we go, another list of Steam games completed! I find it a little interesting that the most popular games are mostly older games. I guess those of us suffering from the high prices of the newest and most powerful PC parts this year can be grateful that such popular titles are so easy to run (or maybe I’ve got the causation reversed there).

With rare exceptions such as Baldur’s Gate 3, the games I’ve covered in this article and the previous one are mostly several years old, if not older. Maybe there have only been a few really legendary multiplayer releases in the past few years. If true, that would go to show that a game with solid mechanics and a healthy multiplayer scene really can trump the latest and greatest tech.
