50 free Warframe trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Warframe has been running since 2013, and in that time it has grown from a small co-op shooter about space ninjas into one of the deepest free-to-play games around. Its story hides a famous twist, its arsenal runs to hundreds of weapons, and its players have a slang all of their own. This quiz covers the whole game: the frames and their abilities, the guns, bows and swords players build, the factions and characters of the story, the open worlds and their towns, and the studio history behind it all. There are questions on the Ostron language, the Stolen Dreams quest and fan favourites such as the dragon frame and the necromancer. It starts gently, with questions any new Tenno could answer, and ends with deep cuts that should stretch veterans with thousands of hours logged. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you will pick up some lore even when you miss.
