LO3: Body copy of double page spread (Warframe)

Warframe has had a recent update with the addition of a new warframe known as Atlas along with a new quest to acquire the parts for him and newly added equipment. Not too long after, a workshop integration with Steam titled ‘TennoGen’ will allow the rather large community of Warframe to create content and possibly have it added to the game as new content.

 Atlas is a warframe that has control over the earth and uses it for both offensive and defensive purposes. Each of his powers allow him to go from defence to offense; Landslide allows Atlas to rush to enemies from a distance, hitting them with the force of a literal landslide and the power of the punch increases further and further with usage over time. Tectonics allows him to create a wall of rock to defend against gunfire and incoming danger before being able to reform the wall into a boulder of death, rolling towards the enemy and exploding, dealing radial damage. Petrify allows Atlas to slow down his enemies eventually turning them into stone.

Whilst in this state, enemies are more susceptible to damage and they are pretty much immobile during this. Finally, Rumblers allows Atlas to summon two golems made from the earth to fight alongside him. These golems will be able to survive most dangers but if they were to perish, in a last ditch attempt, they will explode and deal damage within a radius. Alternatively, they can be disabled manually, still exploding during the processes, damaging enemies they were near by.

The Jordas Precept quest concerns Ordis, the players sentient companion, which finds a fellow Cephalon (Ordis’s kind) which had its ship taken over by an infestation. The quest follows several missions eventually leading towards the Cephalon in question. The missions will go from the ground on foot in to the vacuum of space with the archwing.

 New Archwing expansions such as the mobile defence missions, defending against waves of enemies in certain locations and archwing defence; defend a single point of interest. Along with the new additions of the archwing missions, a new boss was added to fight in space. It is known as the J-3 Golem, a hulking infestation that appears after completing the Jordas Precept Quest. With a new boss usually means new enemies have been added, to which there has been; mainly Corpus based.

With new enemies means new ways to fight them off: Tekko, iron fists and are Atlas’ signature weapons; Convectrix, a weapon that shoots 2 converging lasers towards a target; Sonicor, a weapon that creates a wave of sonic energy and blasts away enemies; Phaedra, an automatic rifle fitted on to the archwing and finally Kaszas, a scythe enlarged and made specifically for the archwing.

Along with the new weapons, don’t forget to jump in to missions with new customisation items. Two syandanas (Cape-like attachments) have been added which are Igaro Syandana and Opulas Robe. The Igaro Syandana is a pair of Ceresean butterfly wings that represents agility and the Opulas Robe, the cape that Corpus elites wear that displays privilege amongst the Corpus. Ships have new customisation options too: players must craft a Landing Craft Segment (The blueprints are available in the market) to gain access to the Mantis and Liset landing crafts.
