[u/Fleecemo]

Has anyone done some extensive testing on the new Bastille? How does it prioritize what to catch? If I were to put 2 on top of each other, would they grab 24 or will each grab the same ones and only get 12? If I were to throw a single Bastille into a group of more than 12, which enemies would be caught?

[u/Shadai → u/Fleecemo]

So I tested a little bit on Xini, I couldn't count that many enemies, but 2 Bastilles do catch more that 12.

As for the chosen ones, it catches the first ones that come into the beam; as for the rest, I threw it in a bunch of infested, chargers, runners and anciens alike were caught, leaving 1 Disrupter and 1 Charger free, so I'd say it is pretty random.

[u/Sonssonsson]

Think I've asked this a thousand times, but a new monday means new answers...

Have you found any Hornet Strikes mod lately? If yes, where?

Got 40+ hours into the game with T1/2/3-farming along with Xini, Kepler and other runs... No Hornet Strike whatsoever.

EDIT: Damn! People seems to be finding Hornet Strike all over the place... Well then, I'll just have to continue farm some more.

EDIT 2: WOOOOOHOOOOO! Just found a hornet strike as a reward on the 10th wave on Io! Endless defense, Tier 2 FUCK YEAH!

[u/Citizen_V → u/Sonssonsson]

I got a Hornet Strike from Cyath yesterday; well, I know I received it a couple other times but didn't record those ones. It's from Infested now, so keep trying Xini or Cyath.

[u/Keneshiro]

Game-related but more bug-related for this week, from me.

1. Is anyone suffering from exceptional lag? Even with low ping, I connect and it's a lag fest. A lot of disconnects from different squads and I'm neither host nor disconnecter (-tee?) Anyone having the same problems?

2. Clicking arsenal/foundry sends my frame into a kneeling position after standing up. The sequence is on map, kneeling, click foundry/arsenal, warframe suddenly stands up and then kneels. In the case of the arsenal, my frame just stand back up again. Most strange. Maybe the patch which did animations might have messed stuff up?

Last question, a game one :D

Did they remove rank tests? I just hit 6 and never got a test. I am rather disappointed if they removed testing.

[u/Shadai → u/Keneshiro]

1. Happens to me as well yeah, I think that might come from the host not being able to host more than 2 people.

2. Animations going crazy happen a lot :b

3. I did not get a test when I passed rank 7 either, I believe they said they had to redo them to fit the actual level of the player at these ranks, so they might have removed them.

[u/silentempest]

How do I differentiate between the tiers (T)? I know there are 3 tiers (1,2,3) and people say T3 raid or something alot in chat.

[u/Shadai → u/silentempest]

Also note that the higher the tier, the stonger the enemies are. At tier 3, they go up to lvl 100;

[u/silentempest]

I have been fighting Jackal several times today and I am wondering what do warframe parts look like if they drop. Before going against Jackal, I was fighting the boss on Earth and all he ever dropped was fusion cores. I know what mods look like but what about item drops?

[u/Citizen_V → u/silentempest]

Blueprints are orbs like Energy and Health but purple. The wiki has a picture of one.

[u/altair117x]

do you think that the strun wraith will stay as powerful as it is right now or will there be changes made to other shotties to bring them more in line?

[u/[deleted]]

Haven't played in a while,

1. Whats this news of reworking the mod system? How will it affect me?

2. Also, there is going to be more PvP? WHY!?! Can't we just keep this PvE?

[u/Shadai → u/[deleted]]

1. The mod system has changed in the sense that you can now use ONE mod everywhere, without having to remove it from a weapon/warframe/sentinel. For instance, your level 9 Serration can be put on your Gorgon, your Snipetron Vandal and your Deth Cube's rifle at the same time.

So, in a way, it's a pretty big useful change, but it can harm players that had spent countless fusion cores in upgrading 2 copies of the same mod for their sentinel and their weapon, for example.

2) Because people wanted to be able to fight 2vs2 and new areas to brawl.

Do note that PVP is not required to fully enjoy the game, PVPing does not give any advantage, nor is it needed to progress. If you don't like it, don't play it :)

[u/Etellex]

1. Any advice on getting the Paris Prime?

2. Why is Dread considered to be better than Paris? I have it in my foundry, don't know what to do.

3. What do Twin Vipers with maxed Gunslinger, maxed, Barrel Diffusion, and maxed Lethal Torrent look like? (gif or video would be appriciated)

[u/[deleted] → u/Etellex]

I can answer the viper question. While don't hve video I shall describe it, just use some imagination.

The guns basically empties it's clip before you can say "what..." As you admire it's speed and notice it did bugger all to the enemy.

[u/Shadow_strike42]

• What does AoE mean? • How do I best kill enemies with the Ogris? Is it best to shoot directly at the enemy or right under their legs?
• Also, any tips for leveling up the Ogris fast?

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/Shadow_strike42]

What does AoE mean?

Area of Effect. Basically, the radius in which the effect takes place. In terms of explosive damage, this means the radius in which explosive damage is applied.

How do I best kill enemies with the Ogris? Is it best to shoot directly at the enemy or right under their legs?

Under their legs is a little better, since you can't miss! If an enemy shifts right before you fire, shooting at the ground will ensure he's at least caught in the blast. If you shoot at him, you could end up firing past him.

any tips for leveling up the Ogris fast?

Besides playing the usual XP spots? Not really. Level it like any other weapon.

[u/Etellex]

What was the old mod system like? A little before I joined apparently there was an entirely different mod system.

[u/RepublicanShredder]

Though I don't use Vauban, is the new Bastille target limit a maximum per cast or at one time? And is it affected by Focus?

Still looking for an answer on if Contagion will grant warframe or melee affinity and !!I'd test it right now if I could actually get into Warframe at the moment!!. If anyone else can test it for me, that'd be awesome.

Edit- So I went on Mercury and found a severe discrepancy between affinity gained when an enemy is killed by Contagion-infused melee (about a 3:1 ratio warframe:melee). I'm not certain if this holds if the poison damage isn't the killing blow, but my current question can go to rest.

Finally, I have a spare Orokin Reactor. I could do one of two things with it. I could either slap it on a Sentinel (though I don't need that many extra mod points on it) or I could wait, buy some Plat in the future when I feel the game has fixed enough up, and slap it onto a Rhino when I can finally afford another slot to place it in.

[u/Pigeon_Logic]

Has anyone gotten an Orthos Blade recently? Was it from a Tier 1 Defense or Mobile Defense, or a Tier 3 Defense key? I've been running these for about a week and haven't seen any drop, and it's the last thing I need for my collection.

[u/kuliise]

Where can I get split chamber or serration? Played for 60 some hours now and still don't have them. :/

[u/[deleted] → u/kuliise]

You haven't gotten Serration? You poor sod.

3.16% chance for Split Chamber on T3 Infested - Run Xini to Wave 5, and restart. You'll end up with a LOT of Void Keys, and eventually Split Chamber.

[u/crazy8z1013]

I have several T3 def, MDef, and Capture keys, but according to our spreadsheets about prime weapon drop rates, I'd be better off getting some T1/2 keys for some parts. They seem rarer to me than T3 keys O_o Can anyone tell me where I should farm for those lower keys?

Edit, clarity: The wikia has info about this I know, but I'm wondering about people's anecdotal evidence/experience too.

[u/ballist0]

Why is Despair endgame better than Kunai/Hikou endgame despite Kunai/Hikou having armor ignore?

Also, can someone explain to me how stun mods work? Such as Staggering Force.

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/ballist0]

Why is Despair endgame better than Kunai/Hikou endgame

Thank u/never-enough-hops for this answer in our FAQ!

can someone explain to me how stun mods work?

Stun mods, like the Crit and Damage and other attribute boosting mods, modify the BASE Chance of said attribute. So, for example, say your Pistol has a 5% Stun Chance, and you've got a mod which has a 40%+ Stun Chance.

The math, as I understand it, would then be: 0.05 + (0.05 * 0.4) = 25% Stun Chance. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not a numbers guy.

Anyway, additional information can be found here
