Greetings iOS Tenno,
Today marks the official launch of Warframe on iOS devices!
Whether you are a newcomer to Warframe, or a long-term Tenno looking to take advantage of Cross Platform Save, we hope you enjoy what Warframe has to offer on iPhones and iPads!
For more information on the iOS version of Warframe, visit our FAQ in Announcements. For a touch screen controls explainer, visit our Mobile Touch Control Guide.
MOBILE EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
-
Automated Attacks: In order to support Warframe’s fast, mobility-based gameplay on mobile devices, several features have been automated by default. Automated attacks can be disabled in the settings if the player prefers manual attacks.
- Automated Shooting: moving the crosshair onto a target will make Primary and Secondary weapons fire automatically.
- Automated Melee: positioning your character beside an enemy makes your character melee attack the target automatically.
-
Note: automated attacks are disabled when the character is crouching to allow stealth attacks to be performed without interruption.
-
Sensor Ring: The relatively smaller screens present on mobile devices can make it challenging to keep track of important surroundings. A sensor ring provides directional indicators for out of frame objects to improve world space awareness.
- Sensor Ring indicators have 3 different sizes for near, middle, and far objects.
- Non-hostile objects are represented with a white colour.
-
Hostiles are represented with a red color.
-
Bullet Jump Button: Tap and release the dedicated virtual button to Bullet Jump.
- While holding the Bullet Jump button, you can aim your jump by adjusting the camera on the right side of the screen.
- Release the Bullet Jump button to execute the maneuver.
TOUCH CONTROLS
Movement & Camera:
The screen area is divided down the middle. The left side is used to move the character, and the right side is used to move the camera.
-
Move character: touch anywhere on the left side of the screen to activate a virtual joystick. Continuing to hold and drag in any direction will move the character in that direction. Running and walking is dictated by the distance of your thumb from the starting place.
- Move camera: touch anywhere on the right side of the screen to activate camera movement. Continuing to hold and drag in any direction will move the camera in the desired direction.
Virtual Buttons:
Virtual buttons unlock as you progress through the game and their functionality becomes relevant. Some of these are context sensitive and will only be shown if there is something that can be done by tapping them in that instance.
For a complete breakdown of the mobile exclusive virtual buttons, visit our Touch Control Guide.
CROSS PLATFORM SAVE
Upon creating an account on iOS, you can visit the Account Management page on warframe.com to link your Warframe Mobile account to your Cross Platform Save account. Cross Platform Save setup instructions can be found in the Account Management Page.
TENNOGEN
Warframe’s first iOS build arrives with 9 fan-favourite TennoGen items available in the in-game Market!
- Jotunheim Syandana
- Volt Arrester Helmet
- Gauss Agito Skin
- Zenoriu Mask
- Sildarg Syandana
- Tsujinasa Syandana
- Sari Syandana
- Icarius Syandana
- Repala Syandana
Depending on a player's Cross Platform Save setup, these items may be accessible without the need to purchase upon Linking Mobile to their Cross Platform Save Account:
- If you can access the above TennoGen on both PC and existing linked non-PC Platform(s), you can access them on Mobile too.
- If you can access the above TennoGen only on Non-PC Platforms, you can access them on Mobile too.
- If you can access the above TennoGen only on PC, you cannot access them on Mobile.
As stated in the 'TennoGen and Cross Platform Save' article from November 2023, TennoGen purchased on PC can only be used on PC.
Due to existing license agreements, previously released TennoGen items cannot appear on Mobile without new license agreements that cover this new Platform. It is our goal to work with TennoGen artists to build out a library of TennoGen items on Mobile over time, as well as ensuring all future TennoGen releasing on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch also come to Mobile simultaneously.
STARTER WEAPON PACK
Outfit your Arsenal with a powerful Primary Weapon and Max Rank Mod! The Starter Weapon Pack is the best value to enhance your Warframe experience.
- Aeolak Primary Weapon (Max Rank): Versatile and strangely familiar, the Aeolak at Max Rank can meet the needs of any Mission you encounter in the Origin System.
- Maxed Serration (Max Rank): Upgrade your Rifle’s Damage output with a Max Rank Serration Mod to cut through the thickest Grineer armor or most advanced Corpus shielding.
