Digital Extremes has released 66 base Warframes since the closed beta in 2012, with a new one arriving with most big updates. Below is every base frame in release order with the update that added it. Prime and Umbra versions aren't listed separately.

Most are free to farmMost frames are farmed as three component blueprints plus a main blueprint and built in the Foundry.
