Warframe harrow update: new xbox one and ps4 patch launch coming today

The Warframe Harrow expansion is already available on PC and will now be making its way to PS4 and Xbox One. The support team at Digital Extremes confirmed the news earlier this week,

although no set time has been confirmed. However, while the PS4 launch will be a relatively normal update, The Chains of Harrow expansion launch on Xbox One will include a serious download.

Essentially, the new Warframe patch will require for the game to be re-downloaded on Xbox One, this is due to Digital Extremes making some serious changes behind the scenes. “The Chains of

Harrow update will be a remaster build,” a message from the Extremes support team explains. “What makes this build so special, you ask? Well, we did a little summer cleaning and removed old

game assets that are no longer in use to free up hard disc space (~21 GB disc space vs. ~46 GB disc space).  “We also rearranged all existing assets into optimal locations to speed up load

times.  “What does this mean for you guys? To bring you all these awesome optimizations, the Chains of Harrow update will require Warframe to be re-downloaded.  “The good news is that half

the size means half the download time, and for all of you new to Warframe on XB1 this means the download will be speedy!  “And for all you existing XB1 players, the update will simply

download in the background.” As mentioned above, not only will the new Warframe update include new content, it will also see the game provide faster load times. The official Chains of Harrow

expansion description paints a new horror-setting for players to explore, teasing: “With Chains of Harrow, Warframe players (AKA Tenno) will descend into a haunting new quest.  “In response

to a disturbing transmission from Palladino, the Red Veil Clan’s spiritual medium, Tenno are compelled to investigate a dark, mysteriously abandoned Steel Meridian spacecraft found adrift.

  “Inside the vessel, lights flicker and emergency lights strobe, revealing bodies of dead crew members. All is quiet except for whispers heard echoing throughout the lifeless craft.  “What

does it all mean? Players must uncover the terrifying reality of what happened onboard, how the Red Veil might play a part in it, and more.” HARROW PATCH NOTES: "Chains of Harrow is

loaded with additional content -- from new enemies and weapons to new cosmetics, Captura tiles, an Octavia Instrument Pack, and more." * Play as Harrow: Harness the power of the Void to

bolster allies’ defenses and amplify their lethality with Lotus’ newest Warrior, Harrow, using four deadly abilities: * Condemn – Cast a wave of energy that chains them where they stand.

Each enemy held reinforces Harrow’s shields. * Penance – Sacrifice shields to boost reload, and fire rate while converting damage inflicted on enemies into health for Harrow and nearby

allies. * Thurible – Channel Harrow’s energy into the Thurible to generate a buff. The more energy channeled, the longer the buff will last. Once finished, kill enemies to bestow nearby

allies with bursts of energy. Headshots produce extra energy. * Covenant – Protect nearby allies with an energy force that absorbs all damage and converts it to a Critical Chance bonus for

all those under the Covenant. Headshots are amplified even further. * Take the Quest: A disturbing transmission from Red Veil's spiritual medium leads to an abandoned Steel Meridian

vessel adrift on the outskirts of Earth. Inside, strange whispers echo throughout the lifeless vessel. What force unleashed this evil and how can it be stopped? (The Chains of Harrow Quest

will appear in the Codex for those who have completed The War Within and unlocked Mot in the Void.) * Earth Remastered: Experience Earth like never before with the beautifully remastered

Earth environments. Clash with Grineer amidst luscious vegetation and envelope your Warframe in the naturalistic lighting and a remastered soundscape. Visit any of the Earth Terrain Missions

to experience this stunning overhaul. * New Grineer Enemy: Nox is a new enemy that is part of the Elite Chem Strike Unit. Nox wields a toxin-filled heavy gun that shoots blobs of toxic goo

that attach themselves to targets before exploding. Take out these gruesome enemies by shooting their glass helmets and exposing their deteriorating skin. Beware of their final moments, as

they explode into a lethal cloud. * New Weapons: * Knell (pistol): Ring the death knell. Every headshot from this scoped pistol increases Critical Chance for a short period. * Scourge

(spear): Blast targets with corrosive plasma projectiles, or toss the scepter to inflict nearby enemies with an energy field that amplifies their brain waves to attract bullets. * New

Syandana: A “priestly” addition, the Nave Syandana completes Harrow’s iconic look.
