Is A Proto Skin A Deluxe Skin?

by
Proto Excalibur and Proto Volt

In 2017, Volt got a deluxe skin called Proto Volt. Honestly, I wasn’t that big a fan of it. While most deluxe skins tend to go for a completely different look at a Warframe, the Proto Volt skin is just… Volt. Volt but unfinished. Back then, I wrote an article about it, saying how it was mostly alright. At the end of the article however, I asked whether Proto Skins counted as deluxe skins or not. There were three Proto Skins. Well, four if you include the Glaive skin. When it comes to Warframes though, we had the two Dark… [Continue Reading]

The Three Best Void Fissure Missions You Should Always Try to Do

by
Baro Ki'Teer in a busy Strata Relay.

Not gonna lie, I open a lot of relics. To the point that I get low on Axi relics. Void fissures are a great, rather mindless pass time for me. Not only am I getting some sort of loot out of all these relics, but I can also get Forma or occasionally things that sell for a lot of plat. You don’t even need to join pre-made squads, you can often get random gold parts just by chance. That being said, not all Void Fissures are made equally. Some are way better or worse than others. Today, we’re going to… [Continue Reading]

The On Call Crew Command Could be Better

by
A Steel Meridian On Call Crew Member, a Volt and a Wisp Specter

After much grinding, I have finally unlocked Rank 9 Command. This unlocks the On Call ability, allowing me to summon one of my Railjack crew to help me in normal missions. It’s a nice idea to tie in Railjack and normal missions a little bit further. But, honestly, after playing around with it, I find it lacking. First off though, I’m an idiot. Smarter people than I managed to unlock all 9 ranks of the Command Intrinsic almost instantly. On the other hand, I had to grind my way back up from zero. You see, we actually got ALL our… [Continue Reading]

The Power of a Ship of AI Crew Mates

by
My current Railjack Crew.

When the Railjack Retrofitted update come out, the first thing I did was throw some mods on my Railjack and do one mission. Not wanting to waste time, I just did a quick mission on Earth. Once I had one single Intrinsic, I went and unlocked the Command Intrinsic, then headed to Fortuna. Ticker had a crowd around her, and for good reason. The lovely chap had crew for us to hire. My first choice was obvious. There were a couple of people from each Syndicate, but one stood out to me. A Perrin Sequence guy called Serv Nob. How… [Continue Reading]

A Fancy Yellow Invitation

by
Rakk Stugg, the electric Kuva Lich

Rakk Stugg grunted as he slammed his fist into the ever-growing pile of smashed alarm clocks. Much to his annoyance though, the beeping was still playing. After smashing his armoured gauntlet into the crunchy heap a couple more times, Rakk realized that, just maybe, the beeping sound was coming from somewhere else in the small, cramped crewship. Pulling himself out of his old, shitty sleeping pod, Rakk inspected the room, making sure everything was in its old, crappy place. The old Grineer pipes, the rusty wall panels, the clunky, anti-degeneration equipment, it all reminded him of the old days. Before… [Continue Reading]

These New Corpus Railjack Missions Feel Rather Weird…

by
A Railjack flying through the Void

With Corpus Railjack, we got a bunch of new Railjack missions. Unfortunately, these aren’t just Railjack missions. They’re part Railjack, part normal Warframe. Weirdly, these are curious combination of the two. There’s definitely some good and bad things about them. In fact, I’ve already talked about the defense mission before. But I feel like we kinda need to talk about all of these. It’s definitely not all negative. Just… confusing. These missions do kinda feel like taxi rides. Every new Corpus Railjack mission works in pretty much the same way. You destroy something to get access to the Corpus ship… [Continue Reading]

Railjack Corpus Ship Defense is just the Worst

by
The new Corpus ship look

There’s a lot to go through in the Railjack Retrofitted update, but something is bothering me. Sure, a lot of Corpus Railjack is half Railjack, half normal mission. I can kinda put up with that a little. However, there is one thing that is really irking me, and it’s defense missions. The problem is Railjack Defense. It’s just so bad. It’s normal Corpus defense but worse. Okay, first off, I need to explain why Corpus Ship Defense is bad. I’ve actually discussed Corpus Defense in the past, mostly with the death of Io. That one single defense mission on Jupiter… [Continue Reading]

An MR4 Volt’s Little Adventure

by
A Little Tiny MR4 Volt

The other night, I was playing Warframe. It was way past my bedtime, but I was in voice chat on one of the discord servers I frequent. Things were good, I was doing fissures. Two of the people I was chatting with jumped into Warframe too. One of them wanted to farm Khora. The other one had nothing better to do and neither did I. So we headed to Sanctuary Onslaught. What happened next was a little… too wholesome. For once, this is about a Volt that isn’t me. Okay, sure, I was playing Volt at the time, but this… [Continue Reading]

Rest in Peace, Oberon Parts for Credits

by
Oberon's a very nice paladin sort of character. A protector and a smiter.

The one time I’m busy and preoccupied with other stuff, a Warframe update hits. This one has been worked on for a while, and is basically completely and utterly reworking Railjack. Not only do we get the Corpus stuff we were originally teased with, but we’re getting a lot of “QOL” stuff too. However, the thing I want to address is another, related change in the Railjack Refitted update. Oberon parts no longer drop from Eximus Enemies. This is a pretty mind-blowing change. For someone old like me, it’s going to be insane, no longer having a cache of Oberon… [Continue Reading]

Rest in Peace, Gian Point

by
The Anomaly Cephalon Cy wants you to check out.

Well done, Tenno, we have managed to kill an entire node. With the new Railjack update, it seems that Gian Point has been removed. An entire node has been deleted, because people were using it too much. Somehow, despite their numbers, the Grineer are giving up. As of writing, I don’t know if they’re flat out deleting it or not. But wow, this is… an interesting path. “Wait, what IS Gian Point?” Gian Point is (or was) a mission in the Veil Proxima. It’s a Railjack Skirmish mission with a simple task: Destroy enemy ships and crew ships. It has… [Continue Reading]
