Warframe drop rates

Digital Extremes publishes Warframe's full drop tables on its own site, generated from its internal data. Prime parts come from Void Relics, and every standard relic holds six rewards: three higher-chance items, two lower-chance items and one rare. We use the Axi A1 Relic as the worked example, but the same split applies to the standard relics in the table.

What the rates mean in practice

An Intact relic gives its rare item 2% of the time, so on average you would crack 1 ÷ 0.02 = 50 relics to get it. Refining the relic with Void Traces raises that chance to 4% (Exceptional), 6% (Flawless) and 10% (Radiant), cutting the average to 25, about 17 and 10 relics. There is no disclosed guarantee, so each opening is independent.

Many players open relics in a squad of four, where each player can pick from the rewards the whole squad rolled. That improves the odds for the group without changing the rate on any single relic. Note that the publisher's table labels the 10% Radiant chance "Uncommon"; we record it as written.

Relics themselves are earned by playing, not bought, so the rates describe time rather than money. Platinum, the paid currency, is used for items, cosmetics and trading.

How it plays

Warframe is a free-to-play online action game played from a third-person view. You wear a Warframe, a bio-metal suit with its own set of Abilities, and fight hordes of enemies from warring factions across an interplanetary system, following the guidance of the Lotus. You start with one of three Warframes and can earn or unlock more than 60, each with different powers.

Missions can be played alone or in a squad with friends, with in-game matchmaking, and some Abilities heal allies or redirect enemy fire. On the ground you move with parkour, and the game also has open-world landscapes and ship-to-ship battles in your own customisable spacecraft. The story runs across five expansions and more than 30 quests.

Between missions you craft hundreds of weapons, plus vehicles and Companions, level them up and try out combinations to suit your playstyle. Cross-platform play is supported.

What it costs

On the PlayStation Store UK, Platinum runs from £3.69 for 75 to £109.99 for 3,450. Platinum is not sold as a Steam add-on.
