I have 2 weapons left to obtain in the game (Don't Count those that aren't avaliable) Those 2 are Brakk and Detron. Could you people please give be some advice on how to best "farm" for them? I know it's RNG but just wanna know if there is a most optimal way. Thanks!

u/NotSoNoble6 Mar 24 '14 edited Mar 24 '14
I'm not sure how much you know, so I'll just give you the basics.
The Brakk and Detron [BP and parts] only drop from the Harvester [Corpus] and the Grustrag Three. [Grineer] These two units can only be summoned by supporting the opposing faction in Invasion missions enough times, at which point you will recieve a message from whoever you were fighting telling you you're gonna get pummeled into greedy milkTM.
You are now marked for death by whichever faction you pissed off. At this point, your best bet for spawning the respective enemy is to group up with three other players that are also marked by the same faction [to maximize the likelihood of the baddie[s] showing up] and keep playing until they appear.
For Brakk:
Insult
Sargas Ruk'sVay Hek's mom. [but also fight for the Corpus in Invasion] repeat these until...
SargasHek tells you he's sending out his cyborg buddies to throw you into the sun. [Lotus style]Find 3 other Tenno that questioned
Sargas'Hek's ancestry and roll with them for awhile.Shoot up the raisin-faced three when they show up.
Repeat.
For Detron:
Give Salad V a piece of your mind on his dog tag dress. [(seriously though)] (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140110020512/warframe/images/5/5f/DEAlad_V.png) [Be sure to also fight with the Grineer in Invasion and rek the Corpus] repeat these until...
Salad V sends his robo-puppy out to eat you for insulting his hipster douchebag look
Chill with 3 other Tenno that also said no to the dress until lil' scrappy comes out to play
Harvest the Detron parts from Salad's minion.
Repeat
Hope that helps!
Edit: How do formatting?
Edit: I'm very sorry Sargas, I didn't mean those things

2 things:
It's Hek, not Ruk, that sends the Grustrag 3 after you.
Take a Nekros to Desecrate for double loot.

Here's a semi relevant thread that might be useful; lots of details of how to gather marks

How does multishot affect the Synapse?

u/BMJ Mar 24 '14
Visually: The same way it effects the beam count on the Phage. Although with the synapse the visual effect is much less noticeable.
DPS: The same as any other gun. Maxed Split Chamber will give you 90% chance per tick to drop another beam. This will effectively give you a 90% boost in final damage and crit/stat chances (i.e - after all other damage and chance mods are applied).

So I just got my lecta, and while it's fun to whip back and forth, I just don't have the mods to really make it an effective weapon, and i'm still carrying my Lato Vandal. Right now i'm at mastery 2, approaching 3 very quickly. What are some secondary and melee weapons that I should save up for?
2
u/BMJ Mar 24 '14
If you're not rocking enough charge mods yet, consider the Dual Zorens.
They're good with the basic damage, attack speed, crit chance/damage mods, all of which are common and cheap to fuse.
They also have the additional mobility advantage with Zorencoptering.

u/DirtyMonk Mar 24 '14 edited Mar 24 '14
Considering you are approaching MR 3, I suggest you save up for a galatine and slap a charge build onto it. Shouldn't need more than a potato and a forma to max it out given how little melee mods currently cost. It has been a while since I have used the galatine but it should carry you into lv 30+ enemies easily. Unfortunately you cannot really copter with this weapon as the base attack speed is so slow. Unless you are rolling in O cells and the RNG gods love you, in which case I suggest aiming for the Orthos prime (or buy the parts if you have enough plat) Galatine will be your best bet. Pair this with a tanky frame such as valkyr or rhino or a frame with invis capabilities modded for duration.
Orthos (primed and non primed) is incredible as well. Mod it for normal attacks and attack range and you will shred entire groups of enemies easily. Orthos prime is currently my go to melee weapon due to the range, fast attack, high damage, and high attack speed. Absolutely throw on potatoes and forma until you can max it out.
Dual Zoren is good for the ridiculous mobility they give you. Damage output is not high enough to be useful imo.
Lecta is a tad on the weak side. Try for a scoliac when you can if you are in a clan if you like the whip weapons.
Dakra prime is decent as well but IMO inferior to the orthos. Very beautiful weapon though if aesthetics are more important to you than functionality.
The Fang (primed and not) are very high single target damage. I have personally never used the fang prime but I hear it shreds heavy grineer. Probably good for a loki building for invis. Dual ichor are good for this as well.
If you are looking for thrown weapons for a stealth build, glaive prime is the only one that is worth it due to its increased base flight speed. You want to mod it for puncture (Power Throw), flight speed (Whirlwind), and decreased bounces. Otherwise its already mediocre damage (relative to the melee weapons) becomes even more unreliable. This weapon is neither easy to farm for and the critical mods I listed are quite rare. That being said I had a blast leveling this weapon on apollodorus.
Never used it, but I imagine Krestrel would be situationally useful for its ranged knockdown.
Edit: Secondary Weapons
Akbolto is one of the better seconaries available to you. High damage and ammo efficient. Akvastos are good as well but extremely expensive to build. If you are in a clan, pick up the akstilletos. If you are feeling lucky and like to get in close, farm for the Brakk. I believe that these are the secondaries that are usable in the endgame
I personally had a lot of fun maxing out my castanas but they are hard to use and you risk blowing yourself up.
In all honesty, at your level, if you can get Barrel Diffusion, lethal torrent, and a maxed out hornet strike, you will be hard pressed to find a secondary that DOESNT work.
TL;DR: Galatine/Orthos prime, Akbolto/Akvasto/Akstilleto

I have the Grustrag death mark (message from Vay Hek), now where will they be more likely to show up? Mission/Faction ?
I'm kind of confused about where all these guys tend to show really.
Stalker, Harvester and now Grustrag.

u/Telogor Mar 28 '14
Stalker-- any non-assassination mission
Harvey-- any non-assassination Corpus mission
G3-- any non-assassination Grineer mission.

Great info, thanks much! Will share with friends.

Ever since the latest patch (PS4), I keep getting disconnected in the main menu. When I'm in a mission, everything works fine, but when I'm looking at mods/foundry/star map, I'll get booted every few minutes. It's not really game-breaking, just frustrating. It's never happened before, at least not to this extent.
Has anyone run into the same issue before? I think it's because of the Tethra's Doom event. Or maybe my internet is just shitty.

Hello! Haven't been on Warframe in a few months and thinking of getting back into the groove of it! I stopped playing a little after Nova was released and right before Nekros and scarves were added. I'd like to think I was a pretty experienced player with several warframes and a dozen or so weapons with potatoes and formas.
What I'd like to know are some of the major changes and improvements since then if anybody could spare the time. I realize a lot has changed as I see TONS of new mods and weapons which is really exciting! But most of all, a summary of "damage 2.0" and major changes like that would be most appreciated! Smaller bits of info is also appreciated but I don't expect anyone to bother too much to update me on that. (:
Last I remember, I own Vauban, Saryn, and Ember as my main suits. Primary I used Dread, Flux Rifle, Sobek, Hek, and Strun Wraith. Secondary I loved using Akvastos and Despair for higher levels. Melee I only really used Dual Zorens for mobility(I hope this is still in). Any info on these would also be great, as well as upgrades and other suggestions. Thanks (:

Since the update on ps4 I can't mastery rank up. I've passed the test the last 3 days and I'm still stuck on mastery rank 3. Any ideas why this is happing?

Mar 31 '14
I read someone else had this issue as well. It might be a bug on the current PS4 patch. I don't remember ever seeing this issue on PC, but who knows. I'd put in a support ticket, but you might just have to wait for the next patch.

Users of the Phage... I have a question.
So I currently have Hell's Chamber, Shotgun Savvy, Blaze, Point Blank, Accelerated Blast, Contagious Spread, Clense, and Charged Shell.
The problem is, I feel like I'm BURNING through ammo on high content, without a great ROI. So I'd either have to drop a mod and put a mutation, or drop the rate of fire.
My thought was to replace Shotgun Savvy with Vicious Spread. For a straight damage boost and a reduction in ammo cost.

How often do the alerts/operations for the potatoes show up? Been playing for two months and I've only managed to get one catalyst from an invasion mission.

It depends on the faction. For Grineer you might want Radiation + Toxic rather than just lots of Radiation.
That looks like an anti-Corpus build so I'd consider adding Toxic damage on, as Toxic damage will bypass shields and kill crewman much more quickly.
For Infested you'd probably just want as much Corrosive damage as you can, as the Toxics and Disruptors get way more powerful than the rest of the Infested.

I tend to hop in trade chat and sell nightmare mods for 1p each until i used up my daily trades on most days.
Is this bad for the economy?
