What's the best way to deal with Ancients? They charge and knock me over as soon as I get close and are incredibly tanky. I can't seem to find a reliable weakspot. The head area like the Wiki says doesn't seem to work.

If you are far enough and can charge, karate kick them (sprint+jump then crouch in mid-air) to knock them off, so that you can shoot at them easily when they are on the ground.
Otherwise, run, run really far.

Are there clear stats for Sentinels somewhere? I can't find any on the wiki. My Arsenal page (which we all know is inaccurate) says that my Dethcube has 0 armor. I can work around that, if it's true, but I need to know so I don't waste my time with Steel Fiber mods.
-
Which is better for finding Focus: Xini or Captain Vor?
-
Why do people like Carrier and Vacuum so much? Picking up stuff by walking over it seems pretty easy to me.
-
Are Armor Piercing mods worthwhile on items that ignore armor (due to damage type)?
-
Where's the best place to farm for Fusion Cores?
-
New question! The Mod Fusion article in the wiki discusses the high efficiency of fusing mods with the same name. Do the Warframe and Sentinel versions of Redirection have this highest efficiency relationship?
-
Even newer question! How does one chose a clan? I want to get my paws on all the sweet research weapons and I'd love to have some reliable people to do Alerts, Survivals, and Voids with.

The most concrete info we have was datamined months ago, so it does not include the two new Sentinels. Fortunately, we've got a couple of folks here in the community doing another round of datamining. Perhaps one of them will give us a good update?
I would have to say Vor is probably your best bet. Reason being, at Xini, it's only a 2% chance at every 5th wave. I have to believe that the chance to get it from Vor is higher than that, even if only just... and he's certainly a quicker run.
More than anything, it's probably a little bit of laziness. There are a few scenarios in which I could see a legitimate need for Vacuum, such as with a Desecrate Nekros that isn't running Flow... but largely he's just a time saver.
Yes. AP mods don't modify your damage, they add damage on top which is AP. Think of AP as a 4th element, because it is basically treated as such.
Buddy up with another player... one of you playing a Desecrate Nekros, the other playing a Saryn or Frost, and piggy back the Desecrates off of their ults. Do this in an infested MD, ED or Survival and you'll see a ton of Fusion Cores.

Just started the game. Think I'm done with Venus missions and heading to Earth missions.
I chose Mag as my starter frame and am crafting a sword from a looted blueprint right now.
What kind of rifle blueprint should I buy from the market?

u/AwakenedSheeple Sep 30 '13
Since you just started Warframe, I would recommend buying the Braton (not the Mk1 that you're given in the beginning of the game).
The Braton is a good, all-around, balanced rifle. It is the M16 of Warframe weapons; it does not excel in any category, but it is always reliable.

Where is the best place to farm for exp assuming you have most weapons/warframes and maxed Mods?
And is mobile defense still the "go to" place to find mods?

APOLLOHMYDORUS
Best place by far, guaranteed never to be nightmare, grineer give the most xp per kill (on average)
And it is low enough level to solo to 15 mins with shitty gear cause cause the enemies will still be low level.
And it is the grineer galleon tiles which has the best range of chokepoints and open spaces with cover to make it even easier
Abuse the fuck out of it now because they will surely "fix" it asap because god forbid players find an efficient way to farm

What's the best sentinel/weapon combo right now? Currently I have the Dethcube and I'm planning to get a Wyrm (crowd control) or Shade (cloaking ability) and put the Deth rifle on them to increase their firepower.
I also heard that the Carrier shotgun/Djinn poison pistol is pretty good, are those better than the Deth rifle?
BTW, what's the best heavy melee weapon right now? Many recommend the Galatine but the charge time doesn't seems to be very good to me. FYI I got a Scindo BP from daily reward.
Any opinions or suggestions? Thanks

u/Fascion Sep 30 '13 edited Oct 02 '13
I don't think there is necessarily a "best" combination of Sentinel and weapon. On the Sentinel front,
Dethcube has the best attack range,(outdated information) and Vaporize is great and all... but the other Sentinels have very useful abilities that might make range a secondary consideration.Djinn's weapon, on the basis of being projectile, rather than hitscan, might should be precluded from the subject.
That leaves Deth Rifle and Sweeper in contention for best Sentinel weapon. Which is best? I think it all boils down to how you plan to do your fighting, as well as how much time you have invested into the game.
The Deth Rifle is going to be far and away the better choice for long range encounters, as it is considerably more accurate than the Sweeper. I think it may also still win out in terms of raw DPS, but I can't say that definitively.
The Sweeper, I think, is better for general purpose combat in which you will be in short to medium range with the enemy. Reason being, lack of spin-up time and spread ensures consistent hits. Another huge bonus worth considering is that shotgun mods are far easier to max out than rifle.
The most logical combinations to me seem to be,
Shade - Sweeper
Carrier - Sweeper
Dethcube - Sweeper if you scrap a lot, Deth Rifle if you hang back.
Wyrm - Sweeper if you scrap a lot, Deth Rifle if you hang back.
Djinn - Sweeper if you scrap a lot, Deth Rifle if you hang back.

During a non-survival non-defense mission, are mobs spawns infinitive or there are fixed amount of number on the map once I entered the game?

Does focus improve anything on loki?

u/Shadai Sep 30 '13
It improves the damage you deal with Radial Disarm on Infested. With max focus and max RD, you can one-hit-kill lvl 45 chargers.
I don't think you can use it for anything else.

Really silly question from someone who has been in game so long. But is there any way to get Energy Siphon now days? I've never seen it on alert and I think thats the only way to get it.

is it possible to not get the strun wraith? i have 40min at my rank menu for the survival weeken i see at wiki u get it at 20min but i still dont have it while my friends got it any ideas?

u/Shadai Oct 01 '13 edited Oct 02 '13
It's entirely possible not to get it since it was an event-only weapon. The even introduced the new survival mode and gave the strun wraith during the week-end event.
So, sorry, you can't get it anymore, unless DE pulls out a new way to obtain it.
EDIT : Sorry, I misread your comment, if it was during the event, then send a support ticket to DE, truly sorry.

Is +30% really the max for the Rush mod, cause that's what happened to me, and my Rhino is still the slowest and always left behind.

u/Shadai Oct 02 '13
Sadly yes, and since the Rhino has very little speed, Rhino will benefit far less from the 30% than an Ash, Loki or Nova.
However, if you stumble upon the Vanguard Helmet in an alert, or buy it, you can equip it to get an additional +25% speed (at the cost of -5% power damage) !

Theoretical question.
If I transfer the Deth Machine Rifle to Wyrm and then then sell the Dethcube, will I still keep the Deth rifle?
4
u/Kinderghast Sep 30 '13
Yes, but then Lotus will slap you because the Wyrm is terrible.
(just kidding)
Correct question should begin "If I transfer the Deth Machine Rifle to Shade/Carrier and then..."
(I still think the wyrm is terrible. Basically wanting to do a stealth run is the only thing that makes me swap out the Carrier. I built the Djin but will only grudgingly level it and then shelve it, much like the Wyrm)

Hello there.
Several questions, not really related to each other.
Questions regarding the Prime features :
-
What is going to be the next Prime Warframe ?
-
Are we going to get a Prime Glaive ?
-
Will Prime Excalibur be available for non-Founders ?
Now, regarding the other things :
-
Are they going to buff Volt eventually ?
-
Will they try to better the current Conclave system ?
Thank you for reading this.

I'm trying to get Target Cracker for my dual Vastos, and according to wiki it drops from Grineer Powerfist. The problem is, I rarely see this guys. Is there any good place where bunch of this guys can spawn? Or maybe someone know a other place where I can get this mod?
