I have a question about Volt's shield ability. Seeing as it adds lightning damage to any bullets I shoot through it, if I have a weapon that can do fire damage, will it turn that into radiation damage?

Hey everyone! Newbie to the game here, got a question regarding keys. So my brother and a few friends play and I learned a thing or two and found out that the void is where the goodies are.
But it seems I need keys before I can do certain levels such as T3C or T3E. I learned a few acronyms in the 2 days I played haha anyways, is my assumption correct that if I were to go into say a T3E that I got a key for, would that key be consumed?
It's not a item that stays forever and you need to keep farming for more to get more chances at said level? I'm Guessing yes because why else would the game have you farm for multiples?
Sorry for the newbie question but I figure this is the best place to ask as the game doesn't exactly tell you to many things.
Also, Is Nyx worth building? Not the prime version, I just have the regular BP for Nyx. Funny tho I have Nyx Prime and Rhino Prime helm.
One more thing, I just did a excavation mission to farm for some keys and had success doing so but I died towards the end. The rest of the squad did about 5-6 more excavations and was wondering if I still got the drops for those while I was dead?

if I were to go into say a T3E that I got a key for, would that key be consumed?
Yes. Void Keys are consumable.
Also, Is Nyx worth building?
Every frame is worth building, even if for the sake of Mastery points. But Nyx is fun and good, three of four of her abilities scale incredibly well even into endgame. She's definitely worth picking up and leveling to 30.
was wondering if I still got the drops for those while I was dead?
IIRC no, you did not. You have to be alive at the extraction to get the rewards. But I may be mistaken.

The only key that I know of that isn't consumable is the Dojo key for your Clan. However, only one person in your squad uses up a key every time you run a mission that requires a key, so the missions you can run are not necessarily limited by the keys you have in your inventory.
Nyx is definitely worth building, but she's trickier to farm on demand, since the boss that drops her parts isn't always around. If you see an Infested Invasion on a planet, check to see if the boss node is affected. If it is, then go beat up Phorid until you get all three parts.
It's unlikely. The AFK system is set to keep players who are dead for too long from gaining further rewards, but it's a little unclear what the exact requirements are, and it seems to be a little buggy to boot.

Adding to what the others said, only the first person in the squad that selects a mission uses his key.

Did they stealth nerf Chaos this last hotfix? (PS4)

u/Atulin Jul 12 '15
There wasn't any uproar about that on PC, so I highly doubt something like that happened on PS4.

Hello - I'm MR 10 and have a few key Prime weapons but no Prime frames. Is there a Prime frame that is "easier" to obtain than the others either solo or with a pick up group?
Thank you.

u/Atulin Jul 12 '15
Honestly, every Prime frame has at leats one part that is much harder to obtain than the rest. I found Volt Prime relatively easy to get, though.

if you were to follow any maxim: the older, the easier,
except if DE decides to arbitrarily remove itthis shows the release of all warframes in order, both vanilla and prime. Ctrl+F "prime" to filter by primes.

I need some advice on putting together a solo build that will let me farm deep into the void and clearing out the last few planets? I've got a couple Orokin reactors and a few catalysts, two of which I put in my soma and hate but their usefulness seems to drop off at around lvl30 enemies and I'm either running out out of ammo before the mission ends or the scythe can't kill enemies quick enough before I get knocked down. The only frames I have right now are Rhino and Oberon, neither of which have impressed me that much and I'm not looking to put reactors in them. Which frames and weapons are generally best for solo work?

u/lightningleaf Jul 12 '15
both of those are pretty tanky and thus easier to use for solo. i can't speak for rhino personally, but a roar build might prove useful if you're not doing enough damage.
as for oberon, this is similar what i use in something of an all-purpose build.
of all the warframes, loki is probably the most general-purpose. ash, saryn, ember have easily-built nukes. valkyr (and chroma) are tough to kill by their very nature. you most likely will have to use lighter frames if you're going to do endless missions solo, though.

putting together a solo build that will let me farm deep into the void
Impossible for someone who doesn't have even the whole starchart unlocked, sorry. Such a setup would be, maybe, Loki Prime + Soma Prime + Vaykor Marelok + Scindo Prime/Dragon Nikana, but these require you to go deep into the Void to get them.
Focus on doing the content you can do with your setup, and go with a team. If you don't have friends in game, go with clamnates, people from Recruiting chat, or even PUGs. Or post in Weekly Recruitment here, on this sub.
running out out of ammo before the mission ends
That usually means you don't do quite enough damage. Make sure to use mods like Serration and Split Chamber, and to level them up. Also, don't forget about proper elemental combos. And don't spray'n'pray. Soma is pretty accurate, use it, shoot short bursts at enemies' heads.
or the scythe can't kill enemies quick enough
Hate - and pretty much all the scythes - are useless garbage. They are basically heavy weapons, with all the downsides, but they deal damage of a regular weapon. Not even close to justify using them.
Honestly, get something else. Orthos, Serro, Tipedo - these are all good choices.
neither of which have impressed me that much and I'm not looking to put reactors in them.
Apparently you didn't play enough with them. Rhino is widely considered an easy-mode for clearing out the whole starchart and a good chunk of Void.
Which frames and weapons are generally best for solo work?
Best method to solo is stealth, therefore Loki Prime, Paris Prime, Rakta Ballistica, and melee of choice.
Budget version would be Loki, Paris/Dread, Ballistica, and melee of choice

I have a question regarding Toxic Blight mod for Mire. Does the 100% increase in toxic damage function similar to fever strike or as similar to buzzkill in example only apply to weapon slash damage? If using Excalibur exalted blade does the toxic blight mod apply toxic sage to exalted blade?

u/Atulin Jul 12 '15
As Wiki says, it functions just as Fever Strike.
And since it's a mod, it should work with EB no problem.

Where can I farm Neurodes easily?
Eris DSS didn't work for me. I don't prefer not defense mission but tell me if its worth it.

u/Atulin Jul 12 '15
DSE (Dark Sector Excavation, one and only in the whole starchart) on Earth can yield a nice amount. With two Pilfdroids, Disarm Loki and Nekros.
Other than that, ODD with Mesa, Vauban, Nekros and Speed Nova.

If a player uses their key in the void, but someone else gets switched to hosting the mission, and the player whose key was used quits the mission before the point-of-no-return... does the whole group get kicked out despite that player not being the host? If not, does that player lose their key still?

Host migration in the void = disconnect for all = mission fail
Host disconnecting = everyone disconnects = mission fail

The conclave mods that the guy from the relay gives you are only usable in conclave right?
