Exciting Updates In Warframe: Limbo Prime And New Weapons

```html

June has been one heck of a month for Warframe. Not only did we receive the long-awaited Umbra Excalibur, which was nicely wrapped around compelling story missions, but we also picked up a brand new Prime update that should have a number of players happy. Limbo as a Warframe came out just under four years ago (44 months to be exact), and he wasn’t the most popular because his abilities could be detrimental to a team if not done properly. Fortunately, he had gotten better last year, and it only seems fit that he should be the next on the list to receive a Prime. Based on the scheduling, it could have easily been Chroma or Mesa, or someone a little further down the pipeline, but considering those two are already overly appealing, it might be better to give Limbo some love. We’ve taken a look at how this update holds up, and what stands out above all else.

Starting with the Warframe itself, last year’s rework did a number on Limbo. Because of this, Limbo has become a strong contender for one of the best Warframes to play as, but it comes at the cost of a higher difficulty curve. There are frames such as Ember or Rhino where their skillset is pretty straightforward in what they do, and fairly easy to play as. Limbo, on the other hand, requires a little bit more skill to properly utilize. The whole idea with Limbo is that he is able to move and send others between dimensions through a Rift.

You’re able to trap enemies within the Cataclysm bubble, not unlike Frost’s defensive bubble, and nullify damage attacks from outside. This pairs amazingly well with Limbo’s second ability, which essentially freezes everyone inside the bubble. However, they’re no longer able to take damage outside of the existing damage-over-time and melee. The first and third abilities are a little trickier to work with. Banish literally sends enemies to the other dimension, which can cause some confusion for other teammates who are unfamiliar with how Limbo works, and Rift Surge attaches itself to those inside the Rift, essentially helping suck in more attackers whenever someone is killed.

It’s all about managing your Rift and which dimension you’re in. You can even shift in and out of dimensions by rolling (or in Limbo’s case, it’s more of a dash), which leaves behind a portal for teammates to use. He’s a very unique character to play as and works surprisingly well for both solo and cooperative play. While playing solo, you can enter a safe zone where all damage is void, which helps in sticky situations. Cooperatively, you can freeze enemies in place and even allow your friends to enter the rift – great for activities such as defense or excavation.

Limbo is incredibly fun to play as if you get him down, one that does require some work, but you’ll be rewarded in doing so. Outside of how he plays, Limbo Prime comes with a higher shield capacity, which if you’re skilled enough, you probably won’t even need all that much. It also comes with an increase of armor and your energy pool. Additionally, it provides an extra two polarities, ensuring you won’t need to Forma him too many times.

Like every Prime update, there comes not only an enhanced Warframe but also a side of new weapons, and this update is a doozy. Alongside the agile Limbo comes the devastating Pyrana Prime, which packs one heck of a punch in a small package, and Destreza Prime, allowing for nimbler battles.

Pyrana Prime is arguably one of the best sidearms in the game. If there’s a good combo out there, it has to be a short-ranged weapon, such as the Tigris shotgun, alongside an automatic rifle or submachine gun, such as the Akstiletto. That combo worked amazing for myself until I recently switched to the Supra Vandal assault rifle, which makes the Pyrana Prime the perfect sidearm. Not only does it have a widespread of so many pellets, but it’s essentially an automatic, as holding down the left mouse button will blow through a horde of enemies in a matter of seconds.

Like many other Prime weapons, there are some advantages and disadvantages when compared to its standard version. The biggest, and really only two disadvantages to the Pyrana Prime, are that it deals less damage and has a slower fire rate. This is fortunately made up with a higher accuracy, crit chance/multiplier, magazine size, and status chance. In addition, the reload speed is 20% quicker, and most importantly, the damage fallout is much wider, with a larger spread. It also comes in the all too familiar black and white color scheme, along with the gold trim. When using an assault rifle, this immediately gets assigned to the secondary slot.
