Last Week:Excalibur

(Let me know if the link has any issues, haven't linked anything on Lemmy before)

Last week had positive reception overall, so this week we're following up with a fast favorite

This is Volt, a versatile warrior. Volt's arsenal is powerful and electrifying. Handle with care, Tenno.

PASSIVE Grounded movement generates an electrical charge building up 1000 Damage per meter that is unleashed with the next attack.

1ST ABILITY Shock-Shoot a bolt of lightning at an enemy

2ND ABILITY Speed-Harness electrifying power to grant yourself and allies extra speed

3RD ABILITY Electric Shield-Summon a barrier that empowers projectiles shot through it, can be picked up

4TH ABILITY Discharge-Emit a high powered blast that electrocutes all enemies in a radius, becoming vulnerable

Progenitor Element-Electricity

Subsumed Ability-Shock

Tactical Ability-Speed

Volt is one of the 3 starter warframes alongside Excalibur and next weeks planned frame. His parts if not chosen can be obtained from the Tenno lab in your clan dojo, or bought from Teshin fully built after reaching Typhoon rank in Conclave for 60,000 standing.

Volt received a prime model in 2015, though now vaulted Baro Ki'teer will occasionally bring relics containing Volt Prime parts.

Volt is the first frame to receive 5 augment mods, 2 being Conclave exclusive

Volt has had 3 changes to his drop locations, originally dropping from the J3 Golem fight in the old days before being moved to Survival rewards, to his current resting spot in the clan labs.

It is possible to stack strength high enough that his speed can crash a mission, though not recommended

I remember when Volt's 4 used to chain off of electronic devices in the tileset like the lights on the ceilings. It would blow them all out making the whole nearby tileset dark! Kinda sad we don't have that sort of interactivity in out modern tilesets.

I did not either know or remember that, that is really cool and I hope they do bring something like that back in new maps

It wasn't a massive change, the tileset didn't go pitch black, just a little bit darker than the already dark look that old Warframe had. For those curious just how different things looked, I have this old screenshot from October 2013. You can even see some of the Corpus light fixtures that would be affected by the ability.

EDIT - Found this old video from 2013 that shows some of the effects that it had on the environment, you can see the electronics blow out and spark after it's cast.

It'd be really cool if they added this effect in new tilesets but for all warframes - do enough random aoe damage to nearby components and it dims the lights for a while, so it's not all that work just for one volt. It really adds a lot to atmosphere and overall feeling of destruction!

That is so damn cool!
