Digital ExtremesThere’s a lot of content you can enjoy for free in Warframe but if you want to unlock some specific Warframes or simply speed up the crafting process Platinum is an important currency to have. Here’s exactly how to get Platinum in Warframe.
Digital Extremes Sci-Fi shooter Warframe has been immensely popular since its launch in 2013 and it’s only had more and more content over the years for new and old players alike to enjoy including exciting open-world areas to explore, and a lot of new Warframes to use.
While you can get a lot in the game at no extra cost, Platinum is a currency that certainly comes in handy so here’s everything you need to know about how you can get more Platinum in the game, and what exactly it can be used for.
How to get Platinum in Warframe
Almost everything in Warframe can be earned through gameplay, but Platinum is often used to acquire new materials, and items, or speed up crafting.
While you can open your wallet and buy Platinum from your platform storefront of choice, there are a few ways to earn it for free.
For one, Warframe has an impressive player trading system that means players can pay you Platinum for gear and items you may not want. That makes it extra important to harvest all you can during missions.
There are two sites to help players start trades, and neither are affiliated with Digital Extremes – so tread carefully. You can use Warframe.Market, or the very similar Riven.Market. Both are pretty simple to use, and while you won’t see a huge windfall unless you’re selling particularly rare items, it’s a nice way to meet other players.
Sadly, you won’t get those rare items anytime soon when starting out, but developer Digital Extremes occasionally hands Platinum out during promotional events.
If you’re a Prime Gaming subscriber, you can grab rewards through Amazon, too. These include cosmetics, as well as Platinum bundles and resource boosters.
Ultimately, though, the best way to get Platinum (and support Digital Extremes) is to buy it from the storefront. While you can buy Platinum on its own, you’ll get better value the more you spend, usually with bonus mods or materials. Just be careful not to spend too much.
