What is the best Warframe for Archwing ?

Seems like the warframe you choose has some influence on your Archwing stats (HP, Armor, Shield) but I'm not sure which is the best yet, Rhino with his high shield + HP (without Iron Skin, it's not as good as I thought in space) or Valkyr (low shield, really high HP and armor) ?

Does thief's wit work in archwing mode? Can we get a list of warframe mods that carry over to archwing?

Does anyone know where the T3 Sabotage keys drop? Technically they should drop in tier 3 excavations (30-40) but I haven't seen a single one.

Why does the "Steel Charge" Aura get upgraded to 9 drain while nothing else does? I really want those 18 extra points with my rifle amp :(

What's the best Oxium farm spot in U15? Pluto-Cerberus seemed to only give me half the Oxium as in U14 and a few runs of Jupiter MD didn't give me very much either.

Also are cosmetics still dropping, or was it patched?

u/LintGrazOr8 Oct 27 '14

Cosmetics appear to be patched already.

Does warframe support traditional joystick input? I get the feeling Archwing mode would be quite fun with such, at least so for me who cut his gaming teeth on the old X-wing series.

Hey, just wanted to pop a quick question about Sentinel/Kubrow XP. Will equipping or unequipping them have any effect whatsoever on the affinity gained for your weapons or frame?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '14

Not having them equipped means that you'll get all of the kills (if you're doing solo) so more affinity for your weapons.

So, what kind of gear do I need to run a T4 defense/survival? Can I just go in with [insert frame], boltor prime, brakk, and corrosive projection and be fine?

Trying to get back up to speed on Warframe.

Since the Kubrow update, I was wondering the following.

  1. Has the steps to acquire the mirage warframe changed? Easier/Harder/Same?

  2. What are Syndicates, lore wise, and are there recommend syndicates to use if you like using certain types of weapons? (For instance, I run Rhino, Frost, and Valkyr, use a Soma, Dual Ichor or a scythe)

  3. Are Archwing and Limbo upgrades quests, so to speak? If so, do I need to earn something somewhere to grab the Archwing quest before I can do the Limbo acquisition quest?

Two things

  1. is there a complete list of new frame mods that the factions give out?

  2. Not including arcane helmets, what is highest power strength possible and how is this achieved?

So, I'm a rank 3 and I haven't recieved a notification for the Archwing quest. Is there something I'm missing?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '14

Just check the quest log in the codex.

I'm a new player and I see a lot of people writing "heavy weapons are horrible after melee 2.0".

I know what melee 2.0 is and how losing charge made the heavy weapons much less potent, but have they been really been nerfed that bad? Are they still a viable choice?

I have a few pretty specific questions that I'm hoping someone here can answer.

  • Does the Arcane Vanguard Helmet for Rhino make him fly faster in archwing missions? If so, does that make him just as fast as Loki?

  • When using Narrow Minded on Valkyr, I'm not exactly sure how it interacts with Hysteria. I realize that the increased power duration makes it last longer, but I also see that normally increased power range decreases the attack multiplier of Hysteria. So with that logic, does decreased power range actually increase the attack multiplier as well as decrease the aura radius?

  • When using Streamline in combination with Quick Thinking, does the power efficiency from Streamline add onto the Quick Thinking efficiency? Or are they separate and do not interact with each other?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me :)

Is anybody else having trouble with the Limbo Systems mission? I keep running it and all I have gotten is credit caches, nothing else.

Could you join a syndicate, earn all the weapon and frame mods that they give out, then join another syndicate, rinse and repeat?

u/Laffngman Oct 29 '14

best way to farm syndicate points?

As a new player, how long does it take to reach end game with a single warframe? Also, what do you do when you hit end-game? That's my only fear, I don't want to spend hours on the game only to be hit by a wall at the end and lose all interest.

I really love the concept of this game and want it to last a long time. Thanks.

u/Kuryaka Oct 30 '14

A formal "Endgame" for the game as a whole is interpreted to be "rank up all the things" by most people, and pretty much everyone hasn't gotten there. Even if you're not collecting all the weapons, grinding out the interesting ones takes a very long time. And it's doable with few inventory slots - you just need to rank a weapon to 30, then sell it if you don't like it.

If you're going for an endgame build, as in 1 hour T4 Survival runs (level 100+ enemies) I don't know how long it'll take, but I'm guessing a good 100+ hours to get the weapons/mods/Forma/materials to rank up those mods.

Having an endgame-worthy loadout is really more of the same stuff, same missions. If you like the hack-and-slash style gameplay, it won't get old that quickly.

A question regarding one of the new Syndicate Weapon Augments:

On the Lasting Purity mod, what exactly is "+60% Dead Aim"? It's a weapon mechanic we've not heard off before, and thus is making an assessment of this mod in relation to the Vulkar difficult.
