This update aims to satisfy fans while addressing concerns over weapon access in Duviri.

Oraxia’s spider vibes sound like a perfect fit for Warframe’s weird-and-wonderful aesthetic—can’t wait to see how her abilities shake up the meta. Also, Valkyr’s rework has me hoping she’ll finally get the love she deserves after all these years. (Keeps it light, taps into excitement for the new frame and rework, and avoids repeating existing phrasing.)

Spider-themed Warframes Finally, Digital Extremes is letting us live out our creepy-crawly power fantasies—Oraxia better have some slick web-slinging animations. Also, Valkyr’s rework is long overdue; here’s hoping she claws her way back into the meta (Keeps it casual, adds a bit of hype, and nods to gameplay details without rehashing the article’s phrasing.)
