yes, some event like nightwave or twitch drop can get you free slots, otherwise you gotta buy with plats

Free slots can be earned over time. The fastest way to get them whenever you want is to credit card it.

You also start with 50 Platinum, which can be spent on slots for warframes or weapons. I'd save it for slots, and save it for when your current slots are filled. Weapons tend to be easier to re-obtain, so I would worry less about those slots for now.

When you reach MR2, you'll be able to start trading. You could earn plat that way by selling things, but not everything can be sold. Typically there are Prime things that you can sell, you can earn in game by doing Void Fissures, although you should always save your first copies of anything so you can craft what you're collecting

So i am new in this game and you only get 2 warframe slots for free? which 1 is already occupied by the beginner frame

You also get 50 Platinum you can use for slots, you can get more slots by earning Platinum by trading or doing specific events, such as Nightwave, or buy Platinum with real money.

So as above you can earn slots, and you can also sell frames you don't want.

They are also cheap in platinum, and I tell my kids this is the only really vital use of platinum. It's 20 plat per slot for a warframe, and 12 to get 2 weapon slots.

Note that you start with 50 plat. So that's two more frame slots if you want it, while waiting for opportunities to get more slots or plat.

You can earn platinum in-game - if you get rare-ish mods or Prime pieces, you can sell them to other players. Check out warframe.market

And finally, you should get platinum discounts as login rewards. If you get a 50% off reward (not even the highest possible) you can get 170 plat for $6 Australian (about $4 US). That'll keep you in slots for a good long while.

Oh yeah I forgot about trading with players. I traded two mods yesterday and made about 30 platinum. So that could be used to by more warframe slots.

this is why every single time you get advice about starting out, someone mentions 'spend plat on slots only, nothing else', it's one of the very few things in this game you have to really invest in, this is classic timegating as well, which is the other thing any player will warn you about when first starting out

[BoxxyB]

you either gotta wait or pay 2 stay. thats just how it be

[TheSuit]

I unlocked most of my slots for free
Either by trade or nightwave

Also if you "Craft a warframe" and keep it in your foundry it won't take up a slot.
So keep that in mind.

I will give you one MASSIVE TIP
Don't Grind Earth - Grind Deimos instead - and unlock the Helminth

Helminth lets you "salvage" warframe and gain an ability
This is a far better option than selling a level 30 warframe for credits

I just don't understand mocking or hostile responses to a simple question.

This is why it's typically recommended to use your starting platinum on warframe and weapon slots.

when you craft an item in the foundry, dont claim it until you are going to equip it. the foundry has infinite space compared to two default inventory slots.
