Warframe, a free-to-play third-person shooter from Digital Extremes, is currently available on four platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. If you own at least one of them, you can experience one of the best F2P shooters done right on the video game market today.

Because Warframe is a free to play game, players can spend real money to purchase items in a curated market from the developers or trade with other real players, allowing players to skip grinding certain items. This also extends to cosmetics people can purchase, but one instance of this was so egregious it was removed from the game. Jun 02, 2014 The answer is: Yes, it is possible. You can get platinum by selling rare modes/blueprints to other players (most of the top demanded maxed mods go for 200p+). Yes, very much so. The ONLY thing you can get in this game spending money that you can't get other wise is cosmetics that don't involve helmets. If you have PS+, I'd say spend 8 dollars on the Renown Pack so you can get 170 platinum for a discounted price, then proceed to spend it on a color pack of your choosing, 4 warframe slots, and 2. Best & Worst Ways To Spend Platinum. Since Platinum is the only ingame currency in Warframe that can be bought with real money, spending it if you only have a small amount is somewhat tricky.

Rhino: Best Beginner Warframe

Getting an early game right is important for your late game as well. That is why acquiring the best possible warframe at the beginning is a must. Rhino is currently the best beginner warframe you can get, and here's how you can do it:

Team up with other players
Go to Venus planet
Go to Fossa mission location
Make your way through the mission
Fight Jackal boss
Shoot his legs first, then focus on body
Pick up Rhino warframe blueprints

Rhino is renowned for its power more than its speed, so it serves the role of the tank. You can modify Rhino and turn it into a super-tank. If that's what you're looking for, then here are the best mods for that kind of build:

Vitality
Steel Fiber
Fast Deflection
Rush
Streamline
Stretch

Sentinel: Hovering companion
MOA: Terrain companion
Kubrow: Canine companion
Kavat: Feline companion

Sentinels and MOAs are mechanical companions that require no maintenance, while Kubrows and Kavats need constant care, but they are more durable than Sentinels and MOAs.

Sentinel blueprints can be bought at the Market for 75 Platinum. If you don't have the money yet, then you can do following missions that grant Sentinel blueprints as rewards:

Venus Junction on Earth
The Business on Fortuna, Venus
Clan Dojo Research

MOAs are exclusive to Solaris United faction. You can get access to Solaris United by completing the Vox Solaris solo mission on Fortuna. Then, address the Legs merchant at Solaris United for MOA blueprints.

Purchase Kavat Incubator Upgrade Segment for 175 Platinum at the market

How to Get Credits and Platinum

So you've probably figured out that you will need to spend a lot of money in Warframe. After buying all the upgrades for your warframe, weapons and companions you may find yourself out of credits. Fortunately, there are a few ways how you can farm for credits without paying real money.

Farm Credits at Index

Index on Neptune is by far the best place to farm for credits in Warframe. Before entering the arena each team member has to invest a certain sum for a corresponding profit.

Below you will find a complete breakdown of the investment-return ratio on the Index arena:

Risk	Investment	Return	Profit	Requirement
Low	30,000	105,000	75,000	50
Medium	40,000	175,000	135,000	75
High	50,000	250,000	200,000	100

As you see, even with the lowest possible risk you get 75,000 credits of profit. Of course, to be able to earn them you need to be able to score at least 50 points in the combat.

Farm Credits at Pluto

On planet Pluto you can quickly make cash through an excavation mission Hieracon. All you need to do is defend the extractor and keep its power up. As a result you will earn 20,000 credits under five minutes, which is a lot.

Alternatively, you could opt for a Dark Sector defense mission Sechura that will require you to withstand waves of enemies, which will also grant you 20,000 credits in just five minutes.

Farm Platinum by Trading

In the course of missions you will pick up a huge number of various items, such as mods, relics, parts, sets, arcanes, augments, rivens, lenses, etc. All these items can be sold at the Market for Platinum.

Create an account at the Warframe Market and list all your items for reasonable prices. Soon you will start receiving offerings. In this simple way you will earn enough Platinum for all your needs.

Combat Tips and Tricks

Finally, when you have equipped yourself with the best warframe and weapons, and acquired all the necessary skills for making money, you now need to make sure that you will survive the combat in Warframe.

In order to stay alive when facing enemies you need to know their weak spots. Here are tips on how to detect and deal with the most dangerous enemies in the game:

Heavy Gunner:
- Reveals itself by the sound of a winding up machine gun
