Warframe @ HAKOO
Free-to-play co-op looter shooter. Space ninjas, crazy movement, a thousand hours of loot — and the HAKOO squad to run it with.
🚀 Getting Started
1Pick your starter frame
The tutorial offers Excalibur, Mag or Volt. Excalibur is the safest all-rounder for a first playthrough; Volt is great if you like speed. Don't stress the choice — you can earn all of them later.
2Follow the quests
The main quest line (Vor's Prize → The Second Dream and beyond) teaches the systems and unlocks the big features. When in doubt about what to do next: open the codex and continue the next quest.
3Mods beat levels
Your power comes from mods, not from weapon or frame level. Rank up core mods (Serration, Vitality, Redirection, Pressure Point) early — they carry you through the whole star chart.
4Spend platinum wisely
Platinum (the premium currency) is best spent on warframe and weapon slots, not on gear. Almost everything can be earned in-game, and you can trade prime parts with other players for platinum.
5Run with the clan
Warframe is much better in a squad. Jump into the HAKOO Discord, ask for a taxi to a node you haven't unlocked, and get access to the clan dojo for research weapons and trading.
📖 Game Systems
Mods & capacity
Mods are cards you slot into frames and weapons. Every item has mod capacity equal to its level (max 30), and every mod costs capacity.
- Rank up mods with Endo and credits — a maxed damage mod is the single biggest upgrade in the game.
- Matching a mod's polarity to a slot halves its cost; an Orokin Reactor/Catalyst ("potato") doubles total capacity.
- Forma lets you add or change slot polarities on a maxed item (resets it to rank 0 — endgame stuff, ignore it at first).
Damage types
Weapons deal physical damage (Impact, Puncture, Slash) and can be modded with elements. Combining two basic elements on a weapon merges them into a stronger combined element:
- Rules of thumb: Corrosive vs armored Grineer, Toxin or Magnetic vs Corpus shields, Heat or Gas vs Infested.
- Viral + Slash is the meta combo against tough, armored enemies later on.
- Slash procs deal bleed damage that ignores armor — that's why Slash weapons scale so well.
Star chart progression
The solar system is a chain of planets connected by Junctions — mini boss gates with task lists. Clearing junctions unlocks quests, game modes and crafting resources.
- Priority: keep pushing junctions until you finish The Second Dream — the game opens up massively after it.
- Farm frame blueprints from bosses along the way (Rhino from the Jackal on Venus is the classic first stop).
- Mastery Rank (MR) rises by levelling new gear and gates better weapons — level everything once, even the junk.
- Endgame: complete the whole chart to unlock the Steel Path, a hard-mode replay with better rewards.
🛠 Recommended Builds beginner-friendly picks
🛠 Try the interactive Builder → Drop mods onto Mag, Excalibur or Volt and watch the stats and ability damage update live — then share your build or save it to the clan showcase. ⚔ Try the Counter-picker → Fighting Grineer at Steel Path? Pick a faction and a mission level and get the damage types, frames, weapons and mods to bring — filtered to your Mastery Rank.The best first frame: tanky enough, great crowd control with Radial Blind, and Exalted Blade melts everything on the early star chart. Hard to build wrong.
The classic first farmed frame. Iron Skin makes you nearly unkillable while you learn the game, and Roar buffs the whole squad's damage. Carries you to late game.
A shotgun that deletes bosses and heavy units well past the star chart. Cheap to build, and the clan-research Vaykor Hek is a straight upgrade later.
A reliable automatic rifle with strong Puncture damage for armored Grineer. Easy to craft early and a smooth ride until you find your favourite prime weapons.
A hand cannon that hits like a sniper. Perfect boss-killer sidearm while your primary handles the crowds — and Lex Prime stays relevant for hundreds of hours.
