The Second Dream update for Warframe is out soon

Warframe

Warframe has grown significantly over the past year or two, and it’s about to get even bigger. The Second Dream update is nearly here, and it will bring with it a whole slew of additional content to the third person space ninja shooter/slicer.

Here’s the basic premise for the newest patch:

An agent of vengeance haunts you. Ancient enemies conspire to take action, determined to cut out the heart of the Tenno leadership once and for all. Exposed from their veil of secrecy, the Lotus’ warriors may pay a terrible price. It’s time you discover your true self, Tenno.

According to an article over on PC Gamer, Digital Extremes, the developers of Warframe, claim that ‘The Second Dream’ is the largest and most ambitious update to date. Much of the content is still shrouded in mystery, but one thing that’s certain is the Ivara – a new archer frame. Here’s an overview of what she can do:

• Her first power can cycle between four different bolt types, each one able to do its own unique Ability.
• Her bolts can currently create:
– An AoE stealth zone.
– An AoE sleep effect.
– Up to four ziplines.
– An AoE lure to group enemies.
• Any players can use the stealth zone and ziplines that Ivara creates.
• Her second Ability lets her guide individual projectile she fires — including bullets, rockets, Tonkor grenades and the Glaive.
• Her third Ability cloaks Ivara, bringing her movement to a crawl and allowing her to pickpocket enemies. This Ability also gives Ivara a bonus to damage on headshot attacks.
• Her fourth lets her use a special bow to unleash a fan of arrows at enemies.
• Ivara will be obtainable through Spy vaults.

She sounds rad! My true love will always be the Volt frame though.

Ivara

Other general changes coming with the update include the following:

• Mag Prime PBR has been completed, and looks slick!
• A new Sword Stance is being added.
• Players can now change their Arsenal within the Simulacrum.
• Clan Warlords will be able to downsize their Clans. This feature will have a cooldown.
• The Updated Login Reward Update will include new weapons, and exclusive Prime Mods.
• Sentients will have an appearance in The Second Dream.

It’s been a long, long time since I played Warframe. If you haven’t tried it out yet, you really are missing out. It’s easily one of the best free-to-play games out in the wild at the moment, and it keeps getting better and better.

            Now that all my damn status rifle mods are only in spy 2.0 , I will have to go farm it a bit. But High Voltage mod takes preference farm to finish up my Ignis.

            Hive missions are a pain, sometimes those nodes are REALLY well hidden. I need to do a few too to farm the shotgun electric mod.

            “TEAM PLAYER”
            A definition by Ottokie:
            – Disregarding everything and everyone, use OP gun to take all the kills, logging off after one or two missions, eats late at night, running everywhere except where is needed

    I reinstalled this yesterday, I was really impressed with the changes (since about a year ago).

    The new movement system is lovely, more content etc.

    Still as complicated as hell, took me a while to ride that learning curve.

    I’m definitely gonna push this one for co-op awesomeness. Now to convince some slappers….

      Movement system is cool, especially with Zephyr. Floaty float float float.

          If you haven’t played archwing in a while that’s also changed. You’ve got some momentum now, so you don’t just stop dead like you used to.

      There’s a PVP mode, but it’s mostly SP or co-op PVE so latency isn’t much of a problem. Now & again you get a bad host that messes stuff up but it’s quite manageable even then.
