Since last night, Xbox One and Playstation 4 players of the online shooter Warframe can finally hunt for a fiery companion – Nezha. We show you what else the update includes.
If January hasn’t been warm enough for you so far, Warframe has exactly what you need to get you and your console revved up. With nearly 12 GB in size for the ‘Ring of Fire’ update, some consoles (or internet connections) might be sweating a bit.
This large amount of data that you need to download once is not solely due to the new content. Rather, it optimizes Warframe’s storage, which according to developer Digital Extremes will allow for smaller updates in the future and bring faster loading times.
New Warframe ‘Nezha’
If you have been sitting on hot coals waiting to finally get back into the game, you can jump right into the sweat-inducing missions to get the parts of the new Warframe Nezha.
Overview of Nezha’s Abilities:
- Firewalker: Players ignite their path, burning enemies and purifying allies.
- Flaming Chakra: They throw a ring of fire that burns enemies and triggers a wave of healing upon their death. Re-activation teleports them to the location of the flames.
- Defensive Halo: Players create a protective ring of fire that stuns enemies who venture too close.
- Holy Spears: They impale nearby enemies with spears that burst from the ground.
New Weapons
In addition to this fiery companion, you can get your hands on new weapons. These include:
- Shaku: With this lightning-fast nunchaku, enemies won’t know what hit them.
- Sydon: A massive Grineer trident for maximum devastation.
- Destreza: The long-awaited Tenno rapier that turns their combat skills into an art form.
With this, you can stylishly heat up your enemies.
New Customization Options
If you also want to look good, you can look forward to some new appearances, such as the Deluxe Skin ‘Knave’ for the tricky Loki. With the Nari and Vali skin, you can turn your Dual Kamas into a sword and dagger combo. Additionally, there’s a new hull for the Scimitar landing craft.
However, these two changes are only included in the large Loki Deluxe Skin package and are not available separately.
This is rounded off by three new nature-inspired Syandanas and the alternative helmet ‘Loxley’ for the huntress Ivara, all in the tradition of Robin Hood.
By the way: If the heat of anger gets to your head, since Nezha’s parts are only available as rewards from the missions, here’s a cool drink for you; his components are tradable. So, if you get something extra, just use the chat to find someone to trade with.
