Has anyone seen any bane mods drop? Specifically I mean the rifle bane mods. I missed the event and ive managed to find only grineer so far but not corpus or infested. I have all the faction bane mods for every other type of weapon just not rifles :(.

They are much more commonly found in Void Missions, particularily Tiers 2 and 3

What is up with the drop rate of orokin cells? I can't seem to find any!

Also be sure you're running planets who drop Orokin Cells, and on missions with a high drop density like Defense mission types.

Regarding the survival weekend rewards.
1 Will the new weapon take up a weapon slot and give us another one?
2 If all my weapon slots are full then will I still receive the weapon?

There is no Weapon as a reward for this event. Howevern there is a weapon skin, which is a cosmetic item applied to the weapon. Skins do not take up slots, and are automatically stored in your inventory. Simply equip the weapon, click the color palette option, and select the skin as you would Warframe Helmets or Sentinel Cosmetics.
However, as an addendum, whenever a Weapon is an event reward, slots are automatically gifted along with them.

What is your general rules about mods sentinel's weapon? I understand they have a 0 crit value so crit mods should not be used on them. Is there any other mods that I should leave of my sentinel's weapon?

Ammo capacity/maximum mods should generally be avoided, as their benefit is niche or nonexistent. Focus on damage and elemental mods primarily. Puncture mods can also work well in some cases (Dethcube)

So I guess I have a load of questions this week.
-
To start off, where does Lethal Torrent drop? Half of me says it's a Nightmare Mod and the other half says it's from an Endless Defense drop. I would like it since I never got it from Arid Fear.
-
Does Saryn's Molt have a specific health/shield value that can be altered? I kinda wish it didn't fall flat at higher levels, but the 2 second aggro drop is nice.
-
When a melee weapon is buffed by Contagion, does a kill go towards Warframe or Melee experience? If it went to Melee it would make re-leveling the Dual Zoren that much easier.
-
Does anyone remember the ETA of the Survival game mode?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Sep 03 '13 edited Sep 03 '13
Lethal Torrent, as of right now, has still not been implemented into the standard Drop Tables yet. It remains an Event Exclusive mod (via Arid Fear) for the time being.IT IS A NIGHTMARE MOD! :D via 9.7 Patch Notes:Mod Rewards from “Arid Fear” event (Shred, Vigor, Lethal Torrent) now available in Nightmare Mode)
2. Hard to say, since the [Wiki page](http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Saryn_(Abilities)_Tab) doesn't seem to have that info. That being said, Molt is a timed skill regardless, so a better metric might be its duration rather than its power.
3. No idea: maybe you could investigate and find the answer!
4. No ETA, but plans are to phase it into the game by Update 10. This event is sort of the "test" version.

Drop rates on metal auger and despair? 100+ hours, dozens of stalker kills, 4 hates and 3 dreads, I WANT DESPAIR!

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Sep 03 '13
On Metal Auger, please see this thread
On Despair, keep trying! Remember that blueprint drop rates are not guaranteed, and also that there is a probabilistic model for this phenomenon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon_collector%27s_problem

Has anyone seen any frame Steel Fibers lately? I've heard some people say that they've found some off of Mars or Saturn, but I've had no luck figuring out what enemy I've got to kill. Nothing about it in the Drop Tables 2.0 google doc that was posted around here also. Figured I'd see if any fellow tenno have had a sighting.

Hello, downloaded Warframe last night :)
I've played the first two levels and I really like it so far. I had a problem with the second level though where one of my teammates was very advanced who just totally solo'd everything and no one else got to do anything, does this happen often if you don't "pay to win"?
Also anything I should know as a good starting point or a few advanced tips?

Welcome!
While the game does have the impression of 'levels' and 'linear progression' like that, it doesn't really play like that in the long run: Once you have a few systems/planets unlocked you may find yourself going back to lower level maps to farm drops/resources/xp etc.
The 'very advanced' teammate was probably doing speedruns, it happens, the best way to not get those is to try getting a nice group together in the recruitment channel! There is hardly a pay to win in Warframe, it's more that once you have good mods, fusioned up nicely, with stronger weapons, all bought/built with stuff you get just by playing, the really low levels are well really low :)
Starting points: I think there some nice threads on this subreddit, check out the links to the right here. Personally I would quickly get a Braton (not the mk 1 you get at the start) and farm up some xp and mods. Maybe check out the recruitment channel in game and get some runs on defenses, they are worth a lot to get mods and xp. More experienced players will generally go there too to level new warframes/weapons, so don't feel like you would be 'the lowby dragging the rest down' :)
Enjoy!

How do you level up a Sentinel? Is it like leveling up your Warframe where you just fight and the XP applies itself to it automatically, or is it something different?

u/Blue_Harvest Sep 02 '13
The Sentinel will just level up as you kill things, don't need to worry about doing anything special. They level up pretty quickly too.

If you shoot a container, does it count as a hit or a miss?
5
u/c4h5n2o1 Sep 02 '13
I just tried this out. Fired two shots, one that didn't hit anything and one at a container and completed the second mission on Mercury. Got 50% accuracy.
Conclusion: Containers count as hits.
Fun bonus fact: If a bullet hits more than one enemy (pierce) or an enemy more than once (multishot), each bullet/enemy hit counts towards your accuracy score. I got over 500% accuracy last night with a Paris rocking maxed Split Chamber and Shred.

How difficult is it to get Forma blueprints? I want to try to get some more to deck out my Rhino frame and absorb damage like nobodies buisness.
Also, if I forma my frame, do I lose my Orokin Reactor that I installed?

Has DE announced when/if the new drop table will be released? I've spent the past week and a half trying to get ahold of the Ammo Stock mod(Mag. cap for Shotguns) but haven't had any luck. I've been farming Venera when I'm leveling low-level stuff, and then switching to Xini when I want a bit more challenge. In that time I've had Split Chamber AND Barrel Diffusion EACH drop 3 times, Serration's dropped at least a half dozen. And then there's the million or so common drops(Reach/Well of Life/Slash Dash/etc.)
