June has been one heck of a month for Warframe. Not only did we receive the long awaited Umbra Excalibur, which was nicely wrapped around compelling story missions, but we also picked up a brand new Prime update that should have a number of players happy. Limbo as a Warframe Updates|https://warframebase.com/ came out just under four years ago (44 months to be exact), and he wasn’t the most popular because his abilities could be detrimental to a team if not done properly. Fortunately, he had gotten better last year, and it only seems fit that he should be the next on the list to receive a Prime. Based on the scheduling, it could have easily been Chroma or Mesa, or someone a little further down the pipeline, but considering those two are already overly appealing, it might be better to give Limbo some love. We’ve taken a look at how this update holds up, and what stands out above all else.

In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O'Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a "slot machine lever" that allowed gamers - for the price of about $0.67 - to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game's fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea - until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat

Like every Prime update, there comes not only an enhanced Warframe, but a side of new weapons, and this update is a doozy. Alongside the agile Limbo comes the devastating Pyrana Prime, which packs one heck of a punch in a small package, and Destreza Prime, allowing for nimbler battles.

While Warframe still has microtransactions, the game has been widely praised for keeping things in balance: the online environment certainly isn't 'pay to win', and purchases within the game don't come remotely as close to gambling as the infamous slot machine lever incident mentioned above. Now some 5 years after its initial release, Warframe is still getting updates from the developers as the community continues to dedicate plenty of hours into the space-based shoo

The real selling point of Warframe is the addictive four-play co-op mode. The focus on community and clan-building in the game makes it a perfect candidate to take full advantage of the social connectivity and community features offered by the PS4. Players can expect to see Digital Extreme harness the power of those new tools to really push the social aspect of the third-person shooter. The new community tools will also play nicely with Warframe Nexus , the game's companion app, that will offer second screen functionality. The app will allow players to perform in-game tasks and receive alerts from the game, while away from their consoles. Users can also use the app to schedule play sessions with co-op budd

Earth is inhabited by the Grineer, the first enemies the player encounters in the game. In fact, Earth is the first planet in the game, and players need to be at least level 1-6 to beat the mission. Odds are if you’re grinding Xini at Level 30, you’ll be blitzing this mission whether you want to or

Digital Extremes plans to make great use of the PS4 hardware not just with a 1080p silky smooth frame rate, but also through the Dual Shock 4 's touch pad. They wouldn't say how exactly they plan to use it, but the touch pad will apparently play a big role in the gamep

Shortly after shifting to a free-to-play model , DCUO saw an uptick in its player base, once again proving that MMOs can still find success without a subscription fee. As far as we know, DCUO on the PS4 will also be free-to-play with support for in-game purcha

I really enjoyed the Zephyr Prime update three months ago as it really complimented the Plains of Eidolon content, and Tiberon Prime remains one of the better rifles in the game. That’s not to mention the Tibor Prime Armor is some of the best looking cosmetic armor for your Operator. Regardless, I think I enjoy the Limbo Prime update a bit more. Limbo has never been my favorite Warframe to play as, but he still provides a very different and unique experience that requires a bit more skill than your average frame. He’s essentially a better looking, and more durable Limbo that is capable in both solo and groups (provided you know how to play him properly). The best part of this update, though, is the weaponry. The Pyrana Prime is now my go-to sidearm, at least when the main weapon isn’t a shotgun, and the Destreza Prime, while it won’t clear rooms like the Galatine Prime or Atterax, it has some great single target power. The animated Rift Walker Prime Sigil is also a nice bonus, although Oblivia Prime Syandana isn’t anything too flashy. Regardless, Limbo Prime is a solid addition that should not be overlooked, and hopefully will boost the frame’s popularity a bit more.
