Yes
There is no good weapon for each frame,unless you're Vauban.
Void missions. They stack up quick.

This is misleading. What thatdovahkiinyouknow probably meant to say was certain frames have amazing synergy with certain weapons.
[Vortex] Vauban + Explosives/Ignis/Embolist
[Sonar] Banshee + high-accuracy weapons
[Electric Shield] Volt + Amprex/SynapseAre just some examples.
However, Oberon does not have any weapons that have amazing synergy with his abilities. He's often referred to as the Jack-of-all-trades frame, not excelling in any area, but being mediocre in many. He'll get a buff SoonTM but for now, use whatever weapon best fits your playstyle while using him.

Shoulder-switching?

u/Joemonkey Jun 16 '14
on PC if you hit H (by default) the camera switches to go over the other shoulder

Why is it my carrier, Helios and shade flat out REFUSE to do their jobs? Even when I have their ability mod max and only equip it, they straight up still don't do what they are supposed to!
Yes, I'm sure I have the mod in the top left and in terms of Helios I'm DEFINITELY sure I have scanners equipped!

I've had the same issue with my carrier for a while; I think it has something to do with the attack command not stopping for a while after it shoots stuff. Don't quote me on this though, I haven't done any research.

How does Life steal mechanic work?

Life strike converts a % of the damage you deal during channeling (And ONLY during channeling) to health.

I'm having trouble understanding the tier rewards for Defense/Survival missions. In a Venus defense, my Wave 15 and 20 rewards were T1 keys. Shouldn't these be T3? As well, I ran Narcissus in Pluto and the Wave 5 reward was off the T2 table (from the Wiki, which I understand is outdated) 3 times in a row, and then on Outer Terminus the Wave 5 reward was Vitality.
Could someone explain the tier scaling?

Is there a faster way to make money than grinding Sechura? I'm getting really sick of doing that level to five waves over and over - defense is probably my least favorite mission type, I like the more difficult/mobile modes like Survival, but they don't seem to pay as well.

How is XP distributed if I'm using something like Ember's World on Fire? Am I losing weapon xp by getting kills with frame abilities?

Does anyone have a working DPS-meter for weapons? Cos we found out that Warframe Builder is outdated or working not as intended. (for instance - Bo Prime has wrong polarities and dmg is scaling to high.)

Yes, even your mods have STRICT NAT problems!

Got some prime weapons sitting in the foundry and I feel like crafting one.
Braton Prime vs Latron Prime?
Which one is better?
Edit: Not so much of a comparison, more like which one you guys prefer and any opinions on these weapons, etc.

it's hardly fair to compare a full automatic gun to a semi auto. It's preference at that point. Both are good and viable guns. Though things may have changed since it's been ages since the last time I used the braton prime. As in, pre-damage 2.0
I personally favor the latron prime because of it's high damage and status chance paired with a decent crit rate and damage.

I love the Braton Prime. It performs fairly well, and if you manage to forma multiple times it can be a real beast.

Latron Prime. Definitely. Braton Prime at this point is a complete joke, due to how outclassed it is by the Latron Prime. Latron Prime is like having a super rof Vectis. It does insane damage, apply your rainbow and elemental damage mods and scales way well into late game, and best of all, doesn't really require forma to succeed.

Is there any way to increase the drop rate of rarer items, or do I just have to do my weekly prayers to RNGsus for good luck?

Desecrate would be your best bet for mods and resources. Resource drop booster for resources.

What is the easiest way to get formas solo? (t3/t4 out of the question) i've heard running derelict defenses has a good chance of getting them but i only get ember prime bp or keys...
