A new frame is coming toWarframewith the game’s upcoming1999expansion: Cyte-09. Cyte-09 will beWarframe’s59th frame and the latest after Koumei, but until recently, not much has been known about him. But that’s changing as developer Digital Extremes releases more information.
We don’t know exactly whenWarframe: 1999is coming, although it’s set for December, but there is a lot to look forward to, like Cyte-09, theTechnocyte Coda, new weapons, new modes, new areas, and more. Keep reading to learn everything we know aboutWarframe’snext frame, Cyte-09.
What are Cyte-09’s abilities in Warframe?
The concept for Cyte-09 is a stealthy sniper Warframe, and that’s been known for a while, but we’ve only learned recently what his abilities actually do, which is as follows:
The big question when it comes to Cyte-09 is how his exalted sniper rifle will work. It’s unclear not only how powerful it will be but also exactly what its mechanics are and how they might synergize with Cyte-09’s other abilities. We don’t have these answers yet, butWarframe: 1999isn’t too far off.
What does the Warframe community think about Cyte-09?
In general, spirits are high. Many community members are excited to see another stealth frame get added to the game, the prospect of an exalted sniper rifle many find fresh and interesting, and Cyte-09’s kit seems to appeal to manyWarframefans. However, some do have concerns.
Considering theWarframemeta is so strongly focused on AoE damage potential, particularly when it comes to weapons, some worry that a sniper rifle might not be able to keep up in higher-level content. Some already anticipate replacing Cyte-09’s sniper rifle ability with something else.
Others wonder how ‘bullets ricocheting off weak points to seek out other weak points’ will work in the context of Cyte-09’s overall kit and if that ricochet power will be enough to take down tough enemies with ease or not. Of course, this is all speculation in the here and now.
