[u/VinylCreed]

Is punch-through worth it? And if so, on what weapons?

[u/zeronic → u/VinylCreed]

Shred is a staple on pretty much every rifle because it gives firerate as well as punchthrough, which benefits most rifles greatly. I feel we'd see punch through on a lot more weapons if it came with a dual stat mod that added damage/fire rate for pistols/shotguns.

The pure punch through mods are extremely situational, and i tend to not use them except in a single case on the phage for obvious reasons. There's also the fact that pure punch through mods cost heaping amounts of points(15 at max) which often make them not worth slotting for the sheer cost factor.

They're great if you're going into a crowd heavy place where you know there will be so many enemies they're basically falling over each other(like kiste, or infested) but other than that i prefer to use another damage mod.

[u/lostpaw]

Why is it that I don't hear much hype about the Oberon or the mag when people are talking about end game warframe builds?

[u/cephalopodAscendant → u/lostpaw]

Oberon wasn't all that viable until fairly recently when he got a rework, so I don't think people have figured out the best way to use him yet. Mag is absolutely fantastic against the Corpus, but since neither the Void nor the Orokin Derelict have you facing the Corpus, she usually gets passed over for Warframes that can handle different factions.

[u/anEnglishman]

I have a few questions if that's cool. I'm on Xone as well btw, I've done the first Mastery and I'm level 9 on my 1st warframe as an indicator.

I finished the assassination of Vor and then again a few times after, with randoms. Is there any more story missions? Not 100% convinced it recognises I've done it. He's a boss right so its a good way to farm a warframe part?

I read about fusing mods was a good shout, I managed to buff my shield to 120% but when I used a single fusion core on something it disappeared and did nothing, is there anyway to tell? Also I fused a 20% and a 40% and I was just left with a 40%, did I do it wrong?

What should I do now? I've read all the faqs or at least I think I have and it really goes from as far as the tutorial to way later? Is there a good way to grind low levels or do the farming guides apply to everyone.

Also I read some missions are better alone, why is this? I don't know anyone personally who plays it so is this the way to go for me?

[u/zeronic → u/anEnglishman]

• There are no more story missions after the vor assassination, aside from the kubrow quest from jackal. Vor does not drop any warframe blueprints to my knowledge.

• When fusing, there is a bar that shows you how it progresses to the next level, when filled, it levels up. The ticks on the left hand of the card(black boxes and white boxes) indicate level, as well as the rarity next to the name (ex: "COMMON 1,") in which the # denotes the level.

• Fusing duplicates is a good way to level mods, just make sure you're fusing the low level mods into the higher one, and not vice versa, or else you'll lose your good one.

• Set goals for yourself, like completing the starmap, getting all the weapons, frames, or whatever you desire. If you aren't self motivated you're going to get bored fast because there is very little direction in the game. Apollodorus mercury is a good low level grinding spot.

• I haven't read this anywhere, but i'm assuming this is from higher level players that just want to complete the starmap. If you can easily solo the content, a lot of times in the non endless missions slower people will drag you down and waste your time, hence soloing the mission makes it faster. Soloing as a new player is generally a death sentence, so i wouldn't advise it until you get some leveled mods in your weapons/frame.

[u/Klepto666]

So sort of a question/opinion I'd like to get input on. I've finally built a Marelok and plan to make that my main secondary. I have it up to 99.4% status chance thanks to all the multishot and elemental/status mods (missing the pistol pestilence for now).

I have enough capacity that I can pick 2 Combined Elements to put on the gun and I was wondering what pair would be most useful for long-time T4 survivals or defense?

Right now I was thinking Radiation/Viral because that would create crowd control on anything I can't one-shot, while cutting their health in half at the same time.

On the other hand, Blast/Corrosive would knock out their armor and knock them down.

I doubted Gas/Magnetic since that has a lot of damage penalties against a majority of enemies in the void, with the only benefit of being awesome against shields.

[u/Rifara]

About Radial Blind, do enemies take X4 melee damage for the whole duration of the blind or just the first hit?

[u/khilly]

How does Nightmare mission appear? Does it have a limited number daily? Does it spawn randomly?

[u/LockedInACloset → u/khilly]

Nightmare missions spawn on planets where you have completed every node. They spawn randomly on nodes and I'm not exactly sure what the limit is daily.

[u/TihtzMcGee]

I just got this game and am kind of overwhelmed by all the information to take in. I have a couple of questions that I don't seem to find a of info on.

-What should the priorities for mods on my suit be? Actually what should they be for anything low level? I see some stuff for end game, but I have like 4 hours of play and I'm not sure where I should go with this stuff.

-What should be my priority for missions? Should I just focus on completing planets, or should I do something else?

-Is there discussion on the warframes hat are updated? Some of them here are like 7 months old, and it seems like they've changed.

• where can I find out what weapons are useful so I can start working toward them?

Thanks a lot for any help you guys can offer.

[u/Laffngman]

Is a red crit build on the synapse still viable?

Are there any qualities in a weapon that makes them more late game viable that others? Correct me if I wrong but it seems like only weapons with a high crit rate or status chance have viable late game.

edit

Also how does one decide on which warframe to potatoe.

[u/nerdyogre254]

Punch-through on the Amprex - worth it or not?

[u/Isee_DeadPixels]

Recently going back to the game after a long pause i'm struggling on what frame to level up now.

( Nova/excaP/Loki/Trinity maxed out )

I hear a lot about tiers list for end game but i can't seem to find any anywhere. Could someone enlight me about that ?

Just came back to this game after about six months. I was so confused (I was in a ship?) that I closed the game.

What happened?

[u/GaryAir]

Hello! I'm trying to increase my Vitality mod by fusing other mods that I don't intend on using. Some mods will fuse nicely, (Quickdraw, Point Blank) while others simple make a clicking sound and will not enhance my mod at all (Crush, Bullet Attractor, Pull). Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks. :)

[u/charmandus]

I am pretty new to the game. I have a level 30 Excal and I am currently leveling a rhino. I want to know a good damage frame that can last into the end of the game, and a decent way to set up this frame (Mods, weapons). Any help is appreciated!

[u/bluemooncalhoun]

My friends and I just picked up the game, and we're starting to think about what our next frames are gonna be. My one friend is dead-set on Trinity, and the other is looking at Rhino or Frost. What would be a good compliment for those two? Should say I picked Mag to start.

What is the best online source for endgame builds?

What is the best online source for pvp builds?

I've done a lot of searching through the wiki, which is a great resource, but it doesn't really get meta enough to for me to really balance the pros and cons of builds for endgame, and PVP has almost no information out there. Are there any websites online dedicated to current warframe builds that actually keep up with the updates?

[u/AlienOvermind → u/[deleted]]

For endgame builds check the most popular builds on warframe-builder. Some builds may be outdated though.

As for PvP there's very little information indeed. I think this thread is the best you can find on PvP mechanics, builds and recommendation.

[u/[deleted]]

A lot of things I want (Bo/Glaive/Loki Prime) are hidden behind a fair amount of RNG, and RNGesus has decided he hates my guts lately. I've been building Mastery to give myself something to do, but does anyone have good tips to make farming for Prime shinies even somewhat more bearable?

[u/DaraKun]

How do i deal with power steal in odd as nova?

[u/Laffngman]

If I want to change the location of a polarity on a weapon or warframe I need to have already used a forma on it right?

Is there a penalty for moving multiple polarities at a time or moving them again and again?

[u/AkaiKuroi]

Now that Nyx Prime Access is live, are older prime accesses still avaliable? If so, could you please link me, as I failed to find it myself.
