Digital Extremes turned the Warframe community on its head with its expansive open world of the Plains of Eidolon, which arrived earlier this year. That said, the developer isn’t nearly complacent enough to rest on its laurels, and a new Warframe update has been announced that implements an unexpected but very welcome feature into the free-to-play game, along with the usual assortment of arsenal updates and other assorted content. Arguably the most impactful aspect of the Warframe update is the introduction of ‘Ghouls’ and subsequently, Ghoul Purge Bounties. A small teaser trailer can be seen below:

Ghouls are an offshoot of regular Grineer enemies, all of which excel in close combat. There will initially be four different types of Ghouls, all of which are designed to diversify the combat that is found on the Plains of Eidolon. Here is the breakdown of each Ghoul:

New Enemies

• The Rictus Ghoul wields a deadly, rideable buzz saw capable of shredding enemies.
• The Auger Ghoul is armed with dual drills for arms, enabling it to dig down into the earth in one spot, disappear, and surface in another for a surprise attack.
• The Devourer Ghoul is an overfed beast with a lengthy tongue and spiked hands, ready to shred enemies to bits.
• The Expired Ghoul is rigged with explosives and told to charge any Tenno it sees.

Of course, when new enemies arise, so too do new weapons become available. Digital Extremes is throwing four new weapons our way to help take down the Ghouls, ranging from a heavy shotgun to a machine pistol that acts as a secondary weapon.

New Weapons

• Corinth – Blast your foes away with the Corinth. This heavy shotgun is powerful and most effective at close range.
• Gunsen – Slice the throats of unsuspecting enemies with the elegant Gunsen. This steel-bladed, fan-like weapon can be charged to deal extra Slash damage.
• Quartakk – Ensure you hit your mark every time with this four barrel Quartakk.
• Stubba – Quickly unload on your enemies with the Stubba. The Grineer favor this automatic secondary weapon due to its compact size and fire rate.

Rounding out the latest Warframe update is the rather unexpected addition of Personal Quarters. Tenno can unlock the new room on the Liset and fill it with poseable Warframes, companion toys and beds, wallpaper, fish tanks, and more. Last but not least, a new cosmetic armor called ‘Maggor Armor’ is now available for purchase. Warframe is free-to-play for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
