Warframe Classes and Gear

Typical of most MMORPG,  class types consist of damage, stealth, tank, and support based roles. Each frame comes with a minimum of four unique active abilities and one passive ability. Each warframe is a separate class of its own, giving players the ability to choose from over 40 different character types. With over 400 in-game weapons, players have a tremendous amount of freedom on how they customize their gameplay. Some of the possible styles are sniper, stealth, gunner, healer, support, tank, or Meele focused combat.

There are two types of gear in warframe, basic and prime. The basic frames and weapons are gathers by farming them from planet based assassination missions, completing quests, purchasing using faction standing, open-world bounties, or buying them outright using platinum, warframes premium currency. Primes gear is obtaining by collecting and opening relics to get the parts to assemble frames and weapons.

Warframe Leveling and Upgrading

Leveling in warframe is uniques to MMOs. With each frame, or weapon you able to level up to a max level of 30. At level 30, you obtain mastery with a given warframe or weapon.  As you level, you will gain mod points that will allow you to apply mods. Mods add abilities, enhance stats, and strengthen items. Each mod requires a given amount of points to use, also referred to as drain. There are three ways to improve your gear:

•  First, you can double your mod points by adding a reactor to your warframe or a catalyst to your weapons.
• The second way is to rank up your mods by using endo, this increases the strength of your mod but raises points or drain that the mods need to be applied.
• The third way to improve your gear is by using forma.  After reaching max level 30, you are still able to increase the strength of an item by applying forma.  Forma allows you to polarize or change the polarity of a selected mod slot. Appling forma will reduce the amount of drain of a mod by 50% based on the chosen polarity. When you apply forma to a frame or weapon, it sets it back to level 0 or unranked. The item then has to be leveled back to mastery rank 30. Forma can be applied as many times as necessary to allow players to use higher mods, further strengthing the frame or weapon.

This unique way of upgrading characters and weapon allows the player to customize items stats, and abilities. In a sense, this is like having the ability to customizing and create Epic characters and weapons.
