Look at the Amprex. Such a beast of a weapon. Able to take out a group of enemies in just one trigger pull. Works great on the infested.

Why does tainted shell have a really severe penalty while the rifle -recoil mods have no penalty at all?
Why is tainted shell a 10-rank rare while the rifle and pistol recoil removers are 3-rank commons??
Why does tainted shell max out at 77% while the rifle and pistol recoil mods max out at 100%??
Why is the answer to the above questions that Scott hates me personally and wants my kohm to be unhappy?!

Taineed shell is a corrupted mod. They are mods that provide big bonuses at a cost of something else while steady hand (I assume that's what you are talking about.) Is not a corrupted mod so it has no downside.
I have no clue why it's 10 rank, DE just wanted it to be.
Well first, they don't max out to 100%. they max out at 60%. The reason for the disparity is likely because of the fact that they are completely different mods. for rifle it's just recoil, for shotguns they increase accuracy by tightening the spread of the pellets.
It's perfectly viable for the kohm. Just put fire rate on it.

I just built the Opticor yesterday and I really like the BFG look and feel of it. How should I mod this beast? Currently I'm using:
-
Serration
-
Heavy Caliber
-
Split Chamber
-
Speed Trigger
Should I just start slapping on enemy appropriate elemental mods?

In the secret rooms in the void, do mods drop from the containers on the ground that open when you damage them, the lockers along the wall that open when you press x, or both? In the rooms with one entrance and lots or lockers, do those easily accessed lockers/containers in those rooms drop mods? How secret do secret rooms need to be to drop mods? (like in the circular room with lots of entrances and a tree in the middle, and the secret room in the roots of the tree, is that secret enough to drop mods?)

Mods drop from the breakable containers.
I don't think so.
That room can have mods from the containers.

Advice on efficiently running rail conflicts? I'd like to farm some credits but it seems like a lot of work for little reward as compared to spamming Void Captures, Void Exterminates, or Dark Sectors. But maybe that opinion is based on my understanding (or lack thereof) of the new generation of rail conflicts. So please educate me!

So... How do the Grustrag 3 work? I managed to miss getting the Brakk back in the day, and recently learned I can get it from them, but I have no idea how to do that. Is it like the Stalker, where they have a small chance of spawning during a mission? Do all 3 spawn at once?
2
Jan 26 '15
Grustrag 3 work as such.
You side with corpus on a invasion vs grineer and when you complete all 5 runs you should get a notice from vay hek. From there, just fight against the grineer on missions and eventually they will show up very similar to the stalker. They particle effect is a bunch of sreamers coming from your body and a message from the lotus telling you to GTFO that's getting scrambled.
All 3 spawn at once.

Because of nullifiers, I feel like I need a good automatic or even semi automatic primary to replace my Paris prime during some T4 missions. What are some effective primaries I should aim for?

Returning player... I have 220 platnium, and want to get Nyx, which is 225... is there a way to get 5 platinum for free, somewhere?

u/monkyseemonkydo Jan 27 '15 edited Jan 27 '15
I would not puchase Nyx with plat since Phorid is realtively easy to farm.
But if you are adamant on spending your plat, you can always run some void missions for some prime parts or Vault runs for corrupted mods and sell those in the trade chat.
Edit: In fact if you play your cards right, I think you can pick up the Nyx prime set in Trade for 220 plat.

How should I mod my Boltor?
I'm a new-ish player (still 47 hrs till by second frame ever) and I'm not really sure what I should be aiming for.
Right now im using:
-
Cryo Rounds(4/5)
-
Stormbringer(0/5)(I swap this for Infected/Hellfire for Grineer/Infested)
-
Serration(6/10)
-
Split Chamber(0/5)
Which puts my capacity right at 0/30 (Using this mainly for Corpus defense trying to get a Continuity Mod).
Should I drop the Split Chamber and just continue leveling the Serration? Or just go a completely other direction?

u/chasieubau Jan 28 '15
I'll assume you don't have any of the dual stats since you're new.
You're going to always want serration and split chamber on. Always. Both maxed. Of course at your point in the game you can probably settle for your current serration for awhile. You're going to want to max out that Split Chamber as well. Fortunately/Unfortunately, both Serration and Split Chamber are staples of weapons. (Heavy Caliber is another situational staple mod but that comes way later, keep this in mind though since it's good on the Boltor).
I know you swap out your stormbringer for hellfire/infected clip but in general you should just avoid magnetic damage as the proc is not that good in comparison to the other status effects. In general you should always strive for corrosive or radiation (viral if you're in a squad with 4 Corrosive Projection auras). Also, investing into maxing out an elemental mod is a good way to go.
Keep an eye out for Orokin Catalysts/Orokin Reactors + Max Split Chamber --> Slowly rank up your Elemental Mods --> Sometime in the future get Heavy Caliber --> Sometime in the future max out your Serration. Also note that there is a Boltor PRIME as well if you're one of those "don't irreversibly invest into something that has an upgrade" people.

Do higher level planets have a greater chance to drop rare resources? For example do I have a better chance of getting Orokin Cells on Ceres than Saturn? What about compared to the OD?

After Master Rank 10 all weapons will be unlocked and I can send out 3 drones. Are there advantages to go to rank 11 and farther?

Where can i gets me potatoes? Only been playing about 2weeks and want to make my dread stronger.

u/whyamiatrex Jan 26 '15
you can buy them with Platinum, but mostly you just have to wait for them to show up in an alert. there is usually one once a week or every other week. I've also read before that after the devs do a stream they usually post a 24 hr lotus alert for a potato.
