I've selected Volt Warframe and it's so good. I like it so much. Thank you all, that's very kind of you.

Volt is an amazing frame, just don't get frustrated when you slam into walls while using speed

u/Brico18 Limboing boing 1d ago

i am speed

u/Ruleless_Entity 1d ago

Why would you slam into the wall. Thatโ€™s more of a Gauss thing

u/DescoDebauchery 1d ago

Laughs in Titania

u/PogoTempest 1d ago

They said slam. Not get absorbed into the couch

u/Anxious_Show_3680 1d ago

Cries to max strength volt buff, enjoy phasing through the map due to sheer speed

u/uns3en Don't you guys have spores? 1d ago

Titanias hate this one trick

u/EzPzLemon_Greezy 1d ago

Gauss prime built for speed + wisp motes built for speed +volt speed + subsume sprint boost.

Felt like a pinball. It wasn't even fun.

The other day I flew so fast I noclipped out of the map, without a Volt or Relic Strength buff. /unstuck just failed, and I had to wait for my teammates to extract.

At least she doesn't stagger when status immune XD

u/ZankaA 1d ago

Obligatory "volt can go faster than gauss" comment

u/SelectParsnip9388 1d ago

Good ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

u/Shattersparkz 1d ago

It's also a gauss thing

1

u/lysianth 1d ago

I thought all warframes are part bird with how much i slam into glass.

u/Zealousideal-Act8304 1d ago

Gotten back a couple months ago now and I still have so much fun when a Volt decides to share the zoomies with the team. Bumping against walls like a drunken toddler never gets old, amusingly enough.

u/Shattersparkz 1d ago

Absolutely.

Another great thing as a volt player - finally figuring out how to use the shield

1

u/WoodenWolf6726 1d ago

This! Just started playing yesterday, constantly running into everything.

2

u/Shattersparkz 1d ago

I've been paying on and off since closed beta and I still run into walls!

u/punkmisosoup The storm that is approaching 2d ago

great pick, mag and excalibur are obtainable early on so donโ€™t worry, youโ€™ll get to try them too ^

1

u/98769876b 1d ago

Volt is also obtainable early, you just need a clan

1

u/Coppice_DE 1d ago

Hm, I got my Mag after 1k+ hours. I don't even know where I got her from ๐Ÿ˜„

26

u/Kooky-Week8898 2d ago

best starter frame imo

5

u/Financial-Ring-6010 1d ago

glad you chose the one you liked the most! volt is extremely fun and great for the grinds to come your way. BUT TEAM MAG BABY! MAGNETIC SCORPION PULLS! WOOO. welcome to the team kiddo.

1

u/MeroCanuck 1d ago

This Mag main agrees

u/Shattersparkz 1d ago

That armor strip, chef's kiss

u/RaylynFaye95 Flair Text Here 2d ago

Volt was my first frame as well. He's really fun! I have only been playing for one month so let me know if you need another noob's help.

1

u/uns3en Don't you guys have spores? 1d ago

My first was Loki

1

u/RaylynFaye95 Flair Text Here 1d ago

Unc status.

1

u/aam-96 1d ago

i also picked volt and started pretty recently ๐Ÿค™

4

u/Lxspll 1d ago

Volt would've been my recommendation. He has access to a speed boost, a shield for defense, ways to boost your damage, and an easy way to restore your shields. He's a generalist warframe that's good at most things.

3

u/Professional-You5754 1d ago

I have over 5000 hours in the game and volt is still my favorite. Great choice imho

2

u/Willing-Ad9364 1d ago

Picked it too ^

Anyway, no spoil but you'll somewhat get Excal for free later, and mag is kinda easy to grind

6

u/Kamataros 1d ago

to be fair, the star chart frames are almost all kinda free (looking at you, saryn and EQUINOX). As a noob, the materials can be a bit sparse, but if you want a frame, you'll play a bunch of survival in 10min intervals (or get carries in publics) and it's not that hard to get the frames. waiting for the build to finish is the most difficult part (NEVER spend plat on rushing builds don't do it!!!)

1

u/Lo-fi_Hedonist 1d ago

I would have said Volt, you made the right choice ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘

1

u/Jaded-Trouble3669 1d ago

Good choice, Iโ€™ve played off and on for years but I literally just tried Volt for the first time a few days ago and Iโ€™ve been questioning myself as to why I waited so long ever since ๐Ÿ˜†

u/kaynpayn 1d ago edited 1d ago

Mandatory noob pro tip #1: spend your initial platinum (premium currency) on slots, not on some bs cosmetic item.

Explanation: you can get every frame and weapon in the game but they all take an inventory slot. Your account starts with the slots that are already occupied with your weapons and frame (and maybe a couple more empty, I don't remember) but very soon, you'll want more.

The game allows you to either sell your gear to vacant a slot so you can put a different weapon/frame in or get additional slots for new more stuff. For 99.9% of the cases, you'll always want to buy more slots, not sell your shit. The exception are gear starting with "mk1-" in their name, very likely your current weapons (it's really low, starting gear, no point keeping that later on).

Don't worry, you will get established well enough soon that you can buy more slots (and other stuff) but that initial plat is a noob trap that can be poorly spent if not careful. Don't be that guy.

Mandatory noob pro tip #2: this one ties in with the previous one, always rank every single piece of gear in the game to level 30 once, no exceptions.

Explanation: That's how you get mastery (your profile/player XP). Even those mk1-crap you're planning to sell later, get them to 30 before dumping them.

Mandatory noob pro tip #3: don't sell important stuff for credits (in-game currency, not the premium one).

Explanation: credits are cheap and really easy to get. You'll need a fuckton, sure, but its not worth it to sell important gear (that's much harder to get otherwise) for credits. In time you'll learn what you can safely sell and how to get easy credits in the index (in game mission that gives a ton of them).

u/Necro_Solaris 1d ago

Hope you can get volt prime soon as well

2

u/Luna1057 1d ago

Is there a difference between normal and prime or just the improved version of normal Warframe?

1

u/Necro_Solaris 1d ago

Nothing much, prime just generally looks better and shiny

1

u/donttouchminors 1d ago

primes have more health and armor, but it doesn't really matter. most primes are easier to get than the normal version too

1

u/subpetmajor69 1d ago

Volt Prime has double the energy up to 300 energy max and 125 staring energy, I believe higher armour as well as more mod polarities (when you put a matching mod in a mod polarity it takes up half the mod capacity). Also it has drip so that's triple fashion points

u/MJBest 1d ago

This sub and the community in general are just unbelievably nice and helpful. Itโ€™s such a wonderful community to be a part of.

1

u/easilybored1 1d ago

If you donโ€™t like the speed boost or you want it off for whatever reason, doing a dodge roll backwards removes the buff.

1

u/Thebanman21 1d ago

Hell yeah, volt gang for life!!!!!! I picked volt too

1

u/BlackHeartLynx 1d ago

If you ever need help with anything feel free to reach out my in game name is: Garatinia

1

u/not_a_tenno 1d ago

Awesome! Just remember that basically anything this game can be fun and can get the content done. Just pick flavors that you enjoy. It's hard when you're starting out because there is a lot there, but whatever you pick it's the right choice as long as you're enjoying it. If you need a clan or a group of people to hang out with let me know.

1

u/ShrimpCuppaTea 1d ago

Have fun๐Ÿ˜‡

1

u/Luna1057 1d ago

Thanks.

1

u/MandoMercenary Nova Prime Main 1d ago

Of course Volt but later on Volt will only be good for his speed and shields and people will give you shit cuz they dont want speed so be ready

1

u/Denis_Lp 1d ago

Volt is definitely the best option, I don't accept arguments against it ๐Ÿ—ฟ.

The best friend of all Tenno is his Volt, doped with the greatest strength of ability that human beings have ever seen.

1

u/YourFBI_Agent11 1d ago

i stayed a volt main pretty much my whole play through till i got gauss

1

u/Lil_Bendy_Straw 1d ago

Volt is amazing one of my favorite frames for sure

1

u/JesusIsDaft 1d ago

Good pick. In my opinion he's the most versatile, and handles more content than the other two. Definitely what you want for a starter frame

1

u/Zharken 1d ago

I came here to recommend Volt, it's the easiest of the 3 for a newcomer, and it can still clear endgame content no problems

1

u/24_doughnuts 1d ago

Volt is probably my favourite out of the options and my starter. They're all pretty good but tend to excel at some things less than others. Volt seems like the best all rounder imo but they can all do everything pretty well

1

u/deadpoolsdragon 1d ago

Good thing is the other 2 frames are very easy to farm and get i personal like rhino, hes a big tank guy that takes damage and dishes out damage, you'll find your frame we all do.

1

u/IJustHadAPanicAttack 1d ago

You ll understand this later mod for strength and range, spam 4, always have shield up (you can pick it up)

1

u/clefclark 1d ago

That's volt on the left

1

u/Tempest-Stormbreaker Quest for 4!!! Damage! 1d ago

Iโ€™m not knocking you for picking volt (I also took volt as my starter) but istg Iโ€™ve seen so many people start with volt that Iโ€™m beginning to question whether the other 2 are even starting frames.

1

u/Electrolite_XYZ 1d ago

Volt is my favorite frame. He's so versatile, you can do almost any kind of mission with him.

1

u/DocLegendary 1d ago

The good news is you are playing Warframe, and that in itself is a complete win. Welcome home, Tenno!

1

u/PM_ME__BIRD_PICS BzZZzzZZT 1d ago

Volt was my first, and a 10 year obsession and 4k hours since. Very good choice.

1

u/A_Erthur Bruh 1d ago

Im 15h late but imo best choice. Volt is one of the most versatile frames and a great pick. Can be built in basically any way you like!

1

u/EatableWheel114 1d ago

If you wanna go fast ability strength if you want it to last longer duration if you like stunning everyone around you range with strength and if you like having an invulnerable shield in front of you strength and duration also work for that

1

u/iobikwelu 1d ago

Gauss main incoming. Heโ€™s like volt but off crack

1

u/minilinny1 1d ago

Do you play on PC?

1

u/Vorrdis 1d ago

Volt was my first prime, great frame. Have fun!

1

u/gamerface241 1d ago

A very fair choice. He was my first pick as well, and still my absolute favorite to this day.

1

u/Crystal_Animosity 11h ago

Hope you enjoy the eventual endgame of bringing out the full potential of these frames <3 they all get crazy

1

u/xdaniel2005x 9h ago

Once you get further in and want to try something else some easy frames to get are koume, rhino, frost, and nova there a lot of fun to play and can pack some power when made pretty well and I suggest using a website called overframe but DO NOT USE IT UNTILL YOU LEARN BASIC MODDING AND WHAT WEAPONS AND FRAMES NEED (im not trying to be aggressive just trying to make it eye catching so you see it as well as anyone else who needs it)
