Warframe's movement is its identity: bullet jumping, aim gliding, sliding and casting abilities mid-air. It also has some of the friendliest control options on any platform, which makes it a great game to learn the SWORL on. The community has two profiles to start from.

Layout 1: Silkylynx

This profile leans on Warframe's Activate Selected Ability key for tap/hold abilities you spam. The bottom row holds modal actions (Context Action, Swap, Cycle Ability, Sprint) while the top row holds the fast, acute actions: Alt Fire/Heavy Melee, Fire, Melee and Aim. Crouch/Slide and Jump sit opposite each other because their timing relative to each other matters so much. The Ability Menu is on D-pad up for quick Transference.

Tip: turn on Fire semi-automatic weapons as automatic and Context action also reloads to cut down on inputs.

Layout 2: just_benj

Built with three goals: Crouch and Jump near each other (Crouch + Jump = bullet jump), Aim and Fire near each other, and Aim + Jump easy to press together for aim gliding. Abilities are Ability Menu + face button, and tapping the Ability Menu button alone recasts your last ability. Melee sits beside Fire for quick melee, and the rightmost buttons are left open for Marker, Gear or Map.

Pre-release concept

Before the SWORL shipped, community member Hxnta x Huntxr also mocked up a Warframe concept, included below for inspiration.

Download the Warframe SWORL profile

Warframe (Silkylynx): Download sworl-warframe-silkylynx.json

{"board":"SWORL","profile":1,"buttons":[8,1,2,0,4,5,6,7,3,9,10,11,12,13]}

Warframe Alt (just_benj): Download sworl-warframe-alt.json

{"board":"SWORL","profile":2,"buttons":[13,7,8,12,4,5,6,1,3,2,11,9,10,0]}

How to import a SWORL layout

1. Download the .json file above, or copy the code into a text file and save it with a .json extension.
2. Open the file in a text editor and change the "profile" value to the slot you want, minus one (Profile 1 = 0, Profile 5 = 4), so you don't overwrite an existing profile.
3. Open the SWORL configurator, connect your SWORL and import the file.
