Before you buy a Warframe account
Six things to check, from the email and two-factor setup to what cross save and Steam binding lock in, taken from Digital Extremes’ own pages and the Warframe Wiki.
Checklist
What to check
- 1
Get full access
Full access means the account email, login and password, so you can secure the account yourself. TennoGuard two-factor on PC is email-based, and an email change can only be made while you still have access to the old address; otherwise it goes through support. Without the email, the account is not really yours.
- 2
Check how it logs in on PC
Steam binding cannot be undone, and Epic binding works the same way. An account bound to the seller’s Steam needs that Steam account too; an unbound (standalone) account lets you bind your own.

Check the platform and cross save state
Cross save linking is permanent, and after linking only the Primary Account’s progress and inventory are used. Platinum is shared between PC, PlayStation and Xbox, but Switch Platinum stays on Switch.

Verify Mastery Rank and items in game
Ask for screenshots or a call: the profile with MR or Legendary rank, the Arsenal and Foundry, the Platinum balance and the daily trade limit, which equals the MR.

Value what cannot be traded
Founders items, Archon Shards, Orokin Catalysts and Reactors and most Ephemeras cannot be traded, so they prove the account’s own history. Rivens, Arcanes and Platinum can be traded, so they can also be traded away before the sale.

Ask what Platinum is personal
Starter and giveaway Platinum cannot be traded. A large balance is only useful to you if it can be spent on what you want.
Red flags
When to walk away
- No email access, or a seller who will “keep it for safety”.
- An account bound to a Steam or Epic account that is not part of the sale.
- Mastery Rank or Founders claims without an in-game profile screenshot.
- Platinum on Switch advertised for a PC buyer.
- Rivens and Arcanes listed in the title but missing from the inventory screenshots.
How we verify and what we promise
Every Warframe account we list is checked by hand: we sign in, compare the Mastery Rank, Prime collection, Platinum and listed items with the title, and note how the account logs in on PC. Delivery is in a private support chat, with help moving the email to yours and setting up two-factor authentication.
Our warranty is lifetime and covers recall or recovery by a previous owner. If that happens, you get a replacement or a full refund, your choice. Full terms: warranty.

Answers
Buying a Warframe account: FAQ
What does “Steam unlinked” mean?
Our reading: the account was never bound to a Steam account through Account Binding, which is optional and cannot be undone. The buyer can then bind it to their own Steam account.
Can I move a bought Warframe account to my console?
Through cross save linking, which is permanent: only the Primary Account’s progress is kept. Platinum is shared between PC, PlayStation and Xbox; purchases made on Steam stay on PC.
How does METAMMO check a Warframe account?
By hand before listing: we sign in, compare the Mastery Rank, Prime Warframes, Platinum and listed items with the title and check how the account logs in. Delivery includes help changing the email and setting up two-factor authentication.
What does the METAMMO warranty cover?
If a previous owner ever recalls or recovers the account, the original buyer gets a replacement or a full refund, your choice, for the life of the account. Losses from sharing your login are not covered.
