WARFRAME LORE: What ARE Warframes?... 

I legit wanna see DE release animes of warframe lores, not the tenno but the warframes themselves. Like what happened to Mirage, how Gara beat the sentient, what went down with Limbo, Revenant's original look before becoming eidolon-ish warframe, how nidus became nidus, what and how does wisp is able to harness the Sun, and alot more i swear. And also the idea of introducing the first tenno to pilot the warframes would be marvelous too.

I love how messed up the umbra quest line was the fact it showed that the frames could be used as torture was terrifying and revealed so much about how they come to be that they didn’t need to just be corpses

Margulis was executed for protecting the tenno and when the tenno found out what the orokin did.... They stormed the towers and left the walls covered in a crimson red. Damn I love the lore of this game. Sad that they barely give any indication of how to locate it 🤣

I would really love for DE to make an adaptation of Warframe. Back to when the tenno first emerged. Just like how genshin now is getting an anime for the archon war over 2000 years before the game started.

4:04 or even jailers, who then learnt the forbidden art of alchemy from a prisoner, melted them with a cedo and turned them into a snake, and killed all the other orokin in the room using alchemical vials. Man I love Lavos and his whacky ahh lore.

So all warframes were ''humans'' ?

Clean Lore breakdown and time friendly.

Blacky does have his own glyph so use his code mhblacky in the market to get the glyph and equip it to show him some love

Honestly I would love it if they made a game that focused solely on the old war and how the teno came to be.

This was beautifully done. Instant follow homie!

Well that explains the disturbing nature behind umbra's.

Question: are ALL warframes former people, or just the prime variants? Are normal frames simply modeled after the primes without the human subject?

Yeah, sooner or later we're going to have to address the fact that Ordis appears to have kidnapped a lot of people for us.😢

This game needs a Anime or a series of the history and lore

Without a doubt, Excalibur is my favorite Warframe. He just is. There is no why.

LOL Exposure to radiation gives you the super power of Cancer.

Now second video i already watched the german video so i can type while listening xD Idk what i commented on the german vid but i guess u forgot too so thats no problem xD Anyways i like the art style it looks nice :) And well yea...I think for some warframe is just a grind game but for me...i think sometimes its not only a grind game sometimes but ...more of a story game i dont knw how the devs do it but they always catch me with their updates sometimes im not sure what catches me more or what keeps me with this game more The story or the content i love how deep the story actually is in this game and some players just play it to be able to play the new content (like zamarin or veilbreaker) (ik ik i sound very cliche and like a fan boy rn but thats how it is xD) Ik this may sound kinda...stupid xD but i played 'the sacrifice' like 7ish times and like 4 of these playtroughs were because of story i just love the quest (and well i hate ballas xD but i love him for making umbra...xd) dam this comment got kinda off topic... but i general u never mention it but huge shout out to DE for the story and stuff alright...see u on the next video xD noo i forgot to say nice video 🥲 btw also nice summary dont think u missed anything keep it up :)

Look forward to more Warframe lore vids

i liked it but you did get allot of stuff won't , but it was close enough and it is a rarer format so ... anyway i think you should do more id really love that !

Warframe has amazing lore and I'm glad DE are doing stuff with it now. We need more lore on the MIGHTY SEER

This channel is so good

Great video keep going

More of these to explain the entire story in this style

Nothing shocking about it at all if you actually paid any attention to the story as you play.

Warframes are cadavers. There, there you go! You're literally piloting around what used to be a person.

They win bruh Edit; Anime main characters have limitless friend ship and get stronger abilitys

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz make more lore videossssss plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 😢😢

...roots_DARK SECTOR??? _technocyte virus?

SOFTWARE (What they REALLY are.)

Dude just play the dark secter its Warframe before all what we see now the lotus symbols are on the for legged robots and even you the player becomes Excalibur Warframe

Kahl>

👍

my favorite Warframe lore is still Chroma's, built to counter the Warframes and actually succeeded in that, but it was too ravenous and escaped then hid in a cave in a mountain in a different planet, eventually the tenno would send Warframes to retrieve the rogue robot but all of them never came back, it was only when Chroma emerged from the cave wearing a pelt of all the slain Warframes and using their powers as it's own that the dragon makes it presence known in the star chart. Badass.

Kids these days have it easy learning the lore.

My clan mates on Discord were constantly asking for an explanation of what a warframe truly is, thx i will use this video to explain to them lol

I got a glimpse of this since I just completed the second dream quest, but it all makes sense. Lotus (before becoming lotus) came to protect us after the orokin started weaponising transference. The orphans found out and wanted to get justice on the orokin and the lotus protected us, before her eventual execution because she decided to protect the Tenno rather than sticking with the orokin

DEs been starving us for Lore you doing Gods work my friend

I always appreciate some WF lore. Do you plan to go through the entire main story line?

Well done, love the format, love the delivery and artwork. Good job would definitely watch more.

Thanks for this. Now I got a clear understanding of what the in-game story doesn't explain so well, although I got the general idea some pieces and bits were not so clear.

Tenno >skin walker

More lore videos please. Great video.

Concise. Better than the 2 hour long videos that go down rabbit holes. Good job!

Umbra is the only warframe with a human inside

Never before have I seen a game with lore I was more capable of enjoying but with an art style that makes me hate the ENTIRE GAME as a result more than warframe. I WANT TO LIKE THIS GAME SO BADDDDDDDDD, but the fact that literally everything in this fucking game either looks like a bug, a tree, or a fucking box, and everyone I've met agrees with me, but is insanely mad that I pointed it out. I just wanna play as like, a fucking dude, I don't wanna play as a beetle-headed, 27-appendages-a-limb, CREATURE, I literally just wanna be a fucking dude, and I'm just so fucking over it.

Imagine if DE make something similar to Animatrix and made animated shorts narrating the many stories of every warframe Origin. It would be cool as hell

Wait...I thought everyone knew this already like yrs ago

im confused i thought it came from the game before and how at the end the character gets the og Excalibur suit

The title of this video all I can hear is that line from Soylent green.

i feel like i watched a nature documentary

What about the story with the three Orokin children that played a "Halloween" prank by putting themselves in the bodies of the dead that they twisted around?

I love the part in warfare where lotus said. “Erm.. I guess you are the warframe now!”

You got a couple of things wrong bud....at first warframes were not known as warframes....they were referred to as simply technocyte golems... it wasn't until the tenno started to control them via transference that they were dubbed warframes

*** Yes, However (Semi-Spoilers): ….. … . The Warframes we pilot as a Tenno from the Tenno-Man-Zero space ship via Void Transference, are NOT * the * original Warframes. They are mere synthetic robotic replicas based off of blueprints of the originals that we recreated in our Orbiter ship. As far as we know, most of the original Warframes that were once people have been killed and destroyed during the War Against the Orokin Empire and the Old War with the Sentients. So far, the only three (3) exceptions to this we know of and meet are: 1) Excalibur Umbra, 2) The Stalker, and 3) Jade. Those three are THE original versions of themselves with human-infested transformed bodies and sentience.

Great lore, i want moree...

If I didn't know any better I'd say warframes are avatars to the tenno

More lore please. Great video.

This sounds like an intro explaining the lore when you first download a game especially the end

They really did use their game "dark Sector" for inspiration for Warframe. The main characters' name in that game was Hayden TENNO. He got infected by some sort of zombie virus and became kinda like a warframe. The weapon he used was the glaive. later in the game he found and used a piece of armor that looked like Excalibur. (See Excalibur's and the glavie's proto skins!)

Thats the longest 4 minute video i have ever seen

More lore video I need a channel talking about warframe lore 😢

Amazing lore, you should upload some more lores.

very good, short and informative

De should hire this guy

Great content mate! Because of your videos I got back to warframe recently. Learned more from your channel that I learned from my 1000 hours in it.. when there were no relics but keys for origin vaults. It will be great to have this type of lore videos continued. Thank you! All the best😊

Even if it's no longer officially canon, Warframe takes HEAVY inspiration from the company's original game Dark Sector, in which a mysterious techno-organic virus was spreading unchecked through an eastern european nation that turned people into feral biometalic zombies that developed psychic and energy-controlling powers the longer they survive. They possess a genetic drive to infect and convert all other life that they can, and even twist the motivations of still-conscious infected subjects. The MC gets infected but manages to halt the conversion process before it warps his mind too much. His name? Hayden Tenno. The Excalibur warframe suit is visually identical to a prototype powered exosuit Hayden discovered before the final mission. Of course, such a process would be pretty hard to replicate efficiently, so the Orokin eventually discovered how to give the Void-touched children of the Zariman mental control of these seemingly uncontrollable, cannibalistic, ever-evolving Technocyte monstrosities to create the perfect super-powered soldier/assassin, the Tenno class. Also, the Sentients were explicitly stated to originate from beyond the stars. The INFESTED, however, were engineered (canon) from the Technocyte virus and combined with adaptive nanite tech (best guess from evidence) to attempt to combat the Sentients, which backfired spectacularly (canon). All that being said, I haven't played consistently for years, no this might have been retconned/rewritten since.

So... Warframes are what happens to Tenno in Dark Sector is what I understand. An infection transforms the bodies of it's hosts into weapons of extreme power at the cost of most if not all sense of self. Ya know, everyone likes to say that Dark Sector isn't cannon to Warframe Lore, but the similatities are too damn noticeable to be "Just a coincidence, just inspiration."

Simply explain,they were us but cloned and got superpower and incredibly regeneration likes wolverine and deadpool plus their skin were made from ferrite alloy,the material were very rare by now

so many people still cope that Warframes are just robots even after The Sacrifice and has been explained in the quest, thank god this video exists to all clueless people

i remember i was there when the empire was gone and the tenno resurge before the lore update warfraame feels diferent now , a .. child? controling a voided carcas of an torture experiment ; remember when warframe was....

Wait dis doesn’t add up the orokin wasn’t at war they sent the ship to the void to find other planted to call home using the using the void and with the ship only holding so much they decided to make self repairing robots to make life easier but the void turn the adults feral and the robot became sentient which saw the orokin as the problem to the solar system.

Played dark sector when I was but a wee lad now as a MAN playing Warframe and it's confusing as hell

Need more of lore vids please

hello I got a mod that don't exist. name: Sybaris Magandra

The Orokin stated in their records that original warframes went mad. Yet both Umbra quest, and Lavarian contradict this. It seems that most of them, at some point simply defied Orokin. Seeing how corrupt and ruthles they were, and with the power bestowed by Helminth, they could sucessfuly oppose them. Others though died as heroes protecting what they hold dear, either Empire or people they deem weak or treated unjusty.

can you make a tutorial on how to deal way more damage simplified? i am middle game and I kinda suck towards steel path lil help? currently I can mod any weapon to obliterate lvl 60`s so yea thx!

You forgot to mention that so called Tenno gone rouge and obliterated all of the Orokin. Anyway, great video. Stylish, strait to the point, not boring. Like.

Forgive me for asking dumb questions, but I'm struggling a bit to fully understand it all. The original warframes were born of 'normal' mortal people? But from a cutscene with that scientist dude from early on this game's history, he said that when he opened a warframe once, it was hollow. Or something like that. So what exactly is the breakdown here? The warframes we play as in-game, are those hollow copies, shells of their former originals that we use, or are we literally recreating the originals? I think I like them being suits more than what it actually is. I don't know. I was just watching a lore video for Voruna and her lore feels like her existence wouldn't line-up with the earlier warframe creation. So in Voruna's case, was she a sentient being with a suit who is later recreated for the player, or did she just become a tool during her fusion with her wolves? It's confusing to me.

I do not want to be mean , this will be my opinion based on what I saw in the old war and the 20 minute demo gameplay video of the duviri paradox It shows how the tenno appeared after our character makes a deal to save everybody , thus killing other versions of him and getting his void power Or something like that , and the duviri paradox shows that perfectly , as the void interacts with the drifter throughout the entire 20 minute demo

This is really good...

i can speak german, allso i speak german! Ich wusste Garnichts das das er so gut Englisch kann. Ich kann nur schulenglisch und das auch nur notgedrungen. to english, i dont was his can so gut to speak english,i can only School engish and that too only necessarily.

help pls

Thanks for this. The game doesn't explain the current time line to understand why the solar system is the way it is. Even Earth is not recognizable. I think the devs would have been better off creating a different solar system, than leave us in the dark wondering how many millenia has passed to get to where you are in the game.

Yo it's been over 10 years and we still don't have a Warframe cinematic movie. You could even do a live at application if it's done So long Netflix doesn't get

Perfection

more!

You explaned that way better than the game

Well done. Dropped you a sub

Like it very much! Thanks

Were most of Warframes custom-made or most of Tenno controled stock Excalibur, Volt, Mag and Loki models equiped with Braton Prime?

Do more of these please!!

tenno is human, warframe is suit, simple as that lol

Back before I left (I came back last year) I did a lot if theory crafting. I even predicted operators and even partially predicted the origin of the frames themselves. I didn't know for sure that they were all infected, nor did I predict the cobbled together ones.

I always felt like the Warframes were created from the Parents of the Tenno. Like the Prime versions are the Warframs created from the Dax, but the mass produced frames were from the parents,. The connection to the children, and them being altered by the void like the Tenno. Also based of something Rebecca said during a Dev Stream when they were showing off Cetus for the first time. She goes to the Quill Cave, and says "No Parents allowed". I'm 85% sure it was Parents and not Adults that she said.
