Idle Animations



Idle animations are set of animations played occasionally when Warframes stand still for a short time. There are three types of animations, namely Default, Noble, and Agile (which you can change in the customization screen).

The idle animations depends on what warframes, weapon, and animations are you using. However, sometimes there are unique animations exclusive to a certain weapon loadout, usually different than every other loadouts you are using, no matter how similar they are.
