Digital Extremes has confirmed the new content players can expect to see in Warframe’s next update, which is called Saint of Altra. The main highlight is the brand new Gauss Warframe, the 41st model to be added to the free to play title. The Gauss suit focuses on harnessing kinetic energy for offensive and defensive modes, so it’s always worth moving. Gauss can be put together for free if players can get the parts while playing Warframe. Gauss’ abilities include:
MACH RUSH: Burst into a hyper-sprint to run across water, traverse across large areas faster, bowl over enemies and re-charge his Speed Gauge. Crashing into solid objects generates a powerful shockwave.KINETIC PLATING: Generate armor plating that converts a portion of absorbed Kinetic Damage into Energy. Also protects Gauss from being staggered or knocked down. Damage Resistance is relative to battery level.THERMAL SUNDER: Siphon kinetic energy from the area, charging the battery and inflicting Cold Status on nearby enemies. Press and hold to reverse the process, draining the battery and inflicting Heat Status on nearby enemies.REDLINE: Push Gauss’ battery beyond the redline, supercharging his Abilities and setting Fire Rate, Attack Speed, Reload Speed, and Holster Rate into overdrive. When past the redline, bolts of arcing electricity dance periodically from Gauss, exploding en masse when the ability is deactivated.PASSIVE: Never stop moving. Keeping Gauss in motion generates an electrical current that charges his Speed Gauge, helping Shields recharge up to 80% faster, and decreasing recharge delay up to 80%.
In addition to Gauss Warframe’s Disrupted mode has expanded throughout the Origin system with locations of Disrupted nodes being the Grineer Settlement on Mars, Corpus Outpost at Laomedeia, Grineer Galleon at Kelpie, Grineer Galleon on Uranus, Grineer Kuva Fortress, and Lua at Apollo. The mode has added even tougher enemies but as a result players can expect some decent rewards as well. There are also Sorties, Syndicate Alerts and Void Fissures mission types in which players will face factions like the Grineer, Corpus, and Infested. Riven mod slots have increased from 90 to 120. The Harrow Deluxe set adds a new skin, armour set, and skins for spearguns, while the Shawzin Hero emote lets your character be a bit musical. Finally, there’s the Infested Dojo decoration set to be had too.
The Saint of Altra update launches this week on PC with console releases to follow within the month.
