Warframe's movement system is fluid and dynamic. Mastering it is essential for survival and efficiency. Here are the core controls (default PC keybinds):
- WASD: Movement
- Spacebar: Jump / Double Jump / Bullet Jump (crouch + jump)
- Shift: Sprint
- Ctrl: Crouch / Slide (sprint + crouch)
- E: Melee Attack
- Left Click: Primary Fire
- Right Click: Aim Down Sights / Secondary Fire (if dual-wielding)
- F: Switch Weapon
- 1, 2, 3, 4: Activate Warframe Abilities
- 5: Activate Operator Mode (unlocked later)
- Z: Context Action (open doors, revive allies, pick up items)
Key Movement Techniques:
- Bullet Jump: Crouch + Jump. Propels you forward or upward at high speed. Can be chained.
- Slide: Sprint + Crouch. Useful for dodging and traversing tight spaces.
- Wall Latch/Run: Jump onto a wall and hold aim to latch, or hold forward to run along it.
- Aim Glide: Jump and hold Aim Down Sights in mid-air to slow your descent and aim precisely.
Practice these movements in the tutorial and early missions. They are fundamental to Warframe's gameplay.
