Warframe developer Digital Extremes has released the free shooter's 13th update on PlayStation 4. Dark Sectors introduces a new Warframe type, additional content and exclusive PS4 features.

In a press release sent to VG247 today, Digital Extremes confirmed that Warframe is the second-most downloaded app on PS4, and spooled off the following patch notes for the update:

PS4 Exclusives

  • Custom controller scheme for PS Vita Remote Play feature, Exclusive PS4 color picker to customize your Warframe and the vitally important performance optimizations!

NEW WARFRAME

  • Rising from the ocean depths, HYDROID harnesses the power of water with a devastating effect.

HYDROID 's powers include:

  • Tempest Barrage - Calls down a barrage of liquid fury
  • Undertow - Become a water trap and drown unsuspecting enemies
  • Tidal Surge - Crash through enemies in a ferocious wall of water
  • Tentacle Swarm - Summon a watery creature from the deep to wreak total havoc

  • Your melee weapons have never been so powerful and your Warframe never so agile! Fully equip your melee weapon, add Combo Chaining, Equip State and Stance Mods and realize an entirely new melee system for your Warframe. Block attacks, combine moves, become more ninja!

DARK SECTORS

  • End game is in the lost outposts of the Solar System. Ready your Clan and build Solar Rails to lay claim to these Dark Sectors on the Star Map. Collect Tribute, a form of transit fare, from everyone who uses your rail but stay alert, Tenno -- other Clans can try to overtake your Sector.

NEW WEAPONS -

  • ATTICA - Quickly fire off a volley of deadly bolts with the Attica Repeating Crossbow.
  • NAMI SKYLA - Like the surge and crash of storm waves, a master of the Nami Cutlass and Skyla Dagger turns these two separate weapons into one fluid attack.

NEW PRIME WEAPON

MELEE WEAPON ATTACHMENTS
