When is Gauss Prime coming to Warframe?

It’s been a few months since we have had a new Prime frame join the roster in Warframe. Every three or so months, a new one comes in rotation, meaning Grendel Prime’s spotlight is coming to an end. Don’t worry, he won’t be vaulted. Since we all know that Gauss Prime is next, when is he coming to Warframe? 

When is Gauss Prime coming to Warframe?

It has been revealed that the ultra-fast, “speedy boi” of Warframe is coming out on January 17, 2024. This comes just as the Grendel Prime Access packs retire on that day.

What’s different about Gauss Prime?

Typically, with Primed Warframes, they have slightly better base stats. From what we know, Gauss Prime is going to have a higher Energy, Health, Shield, and Sprint Speed value. Here are comparisons below from base to Prime:

• Energy: 175 -> 225
• Health: 270 -> 370
• Shield: 455 -> 650
• Sprint Speed: 1.4 -> 1.5

These numbers are quite steep, all things considered. With the recent adjustments to shield gating, he should be able to be more viable in the endgame. Pair that with having more energy, Gauss Prime should be able to cast more abilities, helping him in the long run.

As it stands right now, Gauss isn’t the greatest frame to take into high-level endurance runs as he relies mostly on mobility and some gimmicks. Though he does place fairly low on our tier list, don’t let that deter you from playing him if you like his play style.
