Warframe announced a new Warframe during the last DevStream. His name is Baruuk and he is the complete opposite of the other Warframes.
What is the DevStream? Few events are as eagerly anticipated by Warframe fans as the regular DevStreams. In these streams, the team from Digital Extremes, along with Rebecca “Space Mum” Ford, presents the upcoming content for the coop shooter after the release of Fortuna.
This time it included, among other things, the first images of the new Warframe Baruuk, which is expected to be something completely different compared to previous frames, especially Garuda.
Peaceful Monk instead of Space Ninja
Peaceframe instead of Warframe? According to the developers, they wanted to try something new with Baruuk and bring a pacifist monk as a new frame into the game.
The Warframe is meant to embody the archetype of the “strong fighter who has renounced violence.” Baruuk is supposed to have powerful combat skills, but use them only reluctantly.
What can the new frame actually do? Baruuk looks like a warrior-monk who fights with his fists. It is possible that he, like Valkyr and Excalibur, has a special weapon mode in his skills.
Additionally, he is said to be able to absorb, reduce, and reflect damage. Thus, Baruuk is expected to be a tank who deals less damage but takes more hits. He is supposed to leave enemies in peace until he has had enough. Once that happens, he should react vigorously and deal a lot of punishment.
Therefore, you will likely need to find a delicate balance between taking hits and dealing damage with Baruuk, which is expected to be a completely new gameplay experience.
Man-Buns are now Canon! For Baruuk’s art style, the designer is said to have been inspired by the clothing of Sudanese tribes. The frame thus wears many fabric strips and wraps.
Additionally, he has a kind of bun on his helmet, known as a “Man-Bun.” These are now canon, noted Rebecca Ford.
When will Baruuk be released? The new Warframe is expected to be released this year during Christmas. More information about the Warframe and his skills will follow soon.
