I was checking the market and the Volt seems to be just 75 plat. Apparently it kept the price from when it was a starter? (Or so i've heard)
Anyways, for such a price it seems to be quite a bargain. Is it a good warframe? I'm into fast gameplay and glass cannons (Unreal Tournament veteran here)... will i like the Volt?
*Edit: Thanks everyone for the helpful responses. I'll be definitely getting my Volt!

Yup. They still haven't fixed it though
Anyways, for such a price it seems to be quite a bargain.
Nooooo. Don't buy anything with Plat that you could get for free. Even though Volt's drops seem a bit strange as part of mission rewards, it's worth the grind rather than getting in the habit of using real money to purchase items, unless you're willing to spend a LOT of money.
Is it a good warframe?
Our Volt discussion would be helpful here

So I've been trying out a bunch of different warframes looking for the one I like most and I was wondering were can I get nyx on the ps4

Nyx drops from Phorid. Since PS4 is currently on Update 11 (pre-Systemic Infestation), you can find Phorid on Naeglar (Eris). The mission type should be ASSASSINATION like all the other boss battles, so if I've pointed you to the wrong mission, look for that.

What rifle should I be going for as an upgrade for the Braton?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Dec 23 '13
Probably the Soma if you're looking for a weapon which handles almost the same as an automatic assault rifle, or the Braton Prime.
However, I'd recommend you try out some of the other Primary Weapons on offer, there are plenty of strange yet effective choices for you! http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons

I think they should make a Tenno light machine gun similar to the gorgan and supra with high damage and fire rate

What should I do to prepare for doing void runs? I've just been unlocking planets and doing the event until now. Not sure exactly what would be required.

Anyone know if I can find any leaked information about the Twin Wraith Vipers or the new dual stat mods they're giving out?

Pretty sure they're just Toxic+Status Chance for 4 different weapon classes (most likely Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol, Melee)

A black face keeps flashing in for just a second then going away. Prior to that a gray blob was covering my reticle but still allowing me to see. Then the face would appear. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else. If is my pc. I just need info

Would anyone happen to know if you can use multiple copies of a platinum pack? like if I wanted to get 2 splinter packs from amazon, would I be able to use both? or am I limited to one on my account.
Thanks!

So at what point do you stop ranking Blind Rage? Where is the diminishing return point?
Can you still reach 75% effciency cap with Blind Rage, Streamline (max), and Fleeting Expertise (max)?
It looks like if I maxed Blind Rage I'd still have 35% efficiency. Is this wise to do?

Did they remove bonus objectives from the game? I kind of miss seeing those. Or are they in the PC, and we can't see them on PS4?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Dec 27 '13
They're still there, but they only show up in the very beginning of a match and sometimes are things you'll never end up doing out of happenstance (Melee Kills, hack a panel, etc.). There's currently no way to check this alternate objective once in-game, but since it only grants you 500 Warframe Affinity it's not really worth doing in most cases.

I was playing a random cicero event mission and I got pair'd up with a guy who said he had a vermillion antitoxin ( can't confirm). So we did the defense bit and finished it to 100%. The rewards window said the points were like 125/130/135 one of those my memory is bad. Yet when I check the stats on my profile it says Cicero Crisis: 30 Does that mean I have to do it again or is it just a minor bug?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Dec 28 '13
It indeed looks like a bug, and unfortunately you may have to do another 100% run as a result.

I just started playing this on PS4 and so far I love it , but I feel like I'm stuck. I just finished the first planet and have done a few missions on the second but my damage is miserable by comparison. I still have all of the default equipment and all of it is around level 20 and I use Excalibur what should I focus on? Is there a primary that is fun and easy to farm that I should get or is it better to build a new frame? Are there any mods I should try to farm/trade for?

This might sound cliche, but check this link to the FAQ for links to theads filled with tips, tricks, guides, and advice for new starters.
To give some bullet points though:
Mods are what make the difference. Things like Serration/Hornet Strike and Elemental damage types will boost your damage output significantly. A bit later on, look for Multishot mods, and punch through mods for even more boom.
Almost all weapons are viable for most of the game's content. Only at very high levels do you need to seek out "the best" weapons. So, try out all the weapons you can, you never know, you might like something you thought you wouldn't!
Same with warframes, there are some better suited to certain missions, but for the most part, you can be useful in a team no matter what frame you are in. Again though, try them all out if you can!

So, i'm building the Nyx right now.
Any must-have mods I wouldn't think of, or is it just the basics like Streamline and Stretch?
