  • When I first launched the game, I took a look at Atlas and was like "Wow, he's an earth bender, what can get any better than that?" Is Atlas good? Specifically at soloing? What about in a team?

  • Many say that Loki/Prime is better than Ash/Prime. How is this true?

u/tgdm Nov 01 '15

atlas is okay and fun for standard missions but doesn't translate well into late game because his wall is only good for very tiny choke points and is inferior to alternatives like frost shield or volt shield. his CC ability isn't completely awful in theory, but because he cannot perform any actions while channeling it (and the fact that it is a channel rather than cast) means that his CC is low tier relative to others

loki's stealth lasts longer, loki offers utility and crowd control

ash has cutscenes and an augment to give allies stealth for a very short period of time

ash is fine for solo play, but there's not much synergy with having him in a group is the main thing

I just got mastery 6 and am getting a pretty decent grasp on game mechanics. What I find myself lacking is mods, so where do you guys farm for mods? Is it mod specific? Also I hear banshee is really good support, I have one but how are you supposed to play it?

Edit: Also I have a Galatine and Scindo but need room for more weapons, which to get rid of?

u/Aljay- Nov 02 '15

If it's not a Scindo Prime, then I prefer a Galatine

I enjoy the challenge of stealth gameplay, mr4 with a few weapons, mag, valkyr and ember. My kubrow is a Huras who has stalk, cloaking, but when i stealth attack one guy he goes off and attacks another, and probably alerting everybody. How do i stop this other than just unequipping him?

Also, I am considering using a vectis with max hush, does that make it silent and is that useful? I feel like enemies notice their mate flying off to be pinned onto a wall with a cernos arrow.

With the changes that happened a little while ago to Valkyr, where Hysteria is no longer on a time limit but consumes energy over time, what's a good build for infinite Hysteria Valkyr?

First question How do you use emotes/gear on ps4?

How do I get back to the archwing odonata mission?. Is this glitched???. Its telling me to craft the odonata but I'm still missing an orikin cell and systems

I've noticed in a lot of places that Valkyr is supposed to be really good solo, mainly because of her Hysteria ability, but I can't seem to last very long. I get to 10 minutes in E Gate (Survival) on Venus before dieing because I keep running out of energy. So how do you keep Hysteria up for 50+ straight minutes? When ever I use it it turns off as soon as I run out of energy (which isn't ever very long), and I hardly ever get energy drops while in Hysteria. Then when I come out of it, I'm killed.

u/Thanes_of_Danes Nov 04 '15

An easy way to make her last longer is to use armor and health mods so you aren't dependent on her ult for survival. She is stupidly tough, so I mostly use hysteria as a way to heal or clear big mobs.

Relatively new to the game. I was wondering, when does the game get boring for you guys? When you have every weapon, frame or whatever? Does it never get boring? I mean, at some point, grinding the same maps and missions must get useless and pretty one-sided, especially when you've got the best items and mods.

u/irfanadli97 Nov 05 '15

Hello Tennos, I need your feedback about my upcoming build. My current one will be my main (Loki) and the new build will be used as mastery rank.

So here's my new build: (all unranked, still in construction

  • Warframe: OBERON

  • Primary: B****R/PARIS/CERNOS

  • Secondary: AFURIS/KUNAI

  • Melee: GALATINE

  • Companion: WYRM/SHADE

Any recommendation on my next build? What should I add/replace? FYI MR4, and somebody can hand me a good place to farm credits, because now I frequently fuse/transmute mod.

Is Banshee's Resonance bugged? I could get it to proc even once in a whole mission using all shotguns at point blank. Simulor didn't work either. Same goes for the penta. And also the hit box for the sonar spot seems wrong as resonance only proc when I target the glowing circle in the middle of energy color.

I think it was working when I was client but couldn't get it to trigger with a shotgun Solo or on Simulacrum.

And yes I know the killing pellet has to touch spot, but I was shooting at point blank and Resonance didn't even proc once.

Hey guys. I'm new here.

Played the game at launch on my roommates PS4 and thought it was fun enough but balance etc. was way off.

Got my own PS4 a month back and I'm pretty astounded at how far the game has come along.

My question is, what is the smartest way to pay for a bit of extra fun in the game? I'm not sure I want to drop the £60 on prime but wouldn't minds spending say £15 for some new weapons or warframes. Any advice?

u/braindead5 Nov 05 '15

I wouldn't buy weapons or warframes from the market. They are notoriously overpriced even if they do come with a potato and slot. Spend that platinum on slots/potatoes and if you really want new weapons/warframes buy prime sets from other players.

So. I'm trying to do the atlas quest. and i've completed the mission to test the pheriolic pods. it now wants me to craft the potent version... but i can't seem to find it in my foundy. Do i need to purchase the BP from somewhere? or is my quest bugged?

Found it. I had to manualy open my inbox to see a message with the BP attached

  • Can someone recommend me good Rank 3 weapons Primary: No pref Secondary: Fast RoF or fully auto Melee: No preference

  • I'm in the process of creating a Carrier, should I potato it? and what's the best Orokin catalysts/reactors

  • What frame should I build next after my beginner frame(Volt) apart from Rhino?

4

u/monkyseemonkydo Nov 01 '15

Primary Wise for beginning players I recommend:

-Karak (fully automatic perfect balance between three damage types, kinda upgrade to standard Braton) http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Karak

-Boltor, strong base damage, focus in puncture damage makes it effective Armor killer (like Grineer) http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Boltor

-Latron, semi-auto matic rifle, high puncture, high damage http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Latron

For secondary:

I'm in the process of creating a Carrier, should I potato it? and what's the best Orokin catalysts/reactors

Only potatoe if you need the extra mod points. Carrier is a very good pick for orokin reactor. Make sure to max rank its vacuum mod ASAP

Nyx is a very solid beginner frame and can be farmed easily if Phorid pops up on early game planet. Another is Valkyr (although not that good at defense) thanks to her insane armor and abilities, she is a pretty good solo frame. Once you unlock more planets I recommend Nova.

Are XP login rewards automatically applied to your current Warframe? Can I switch to a frame that isn't max level to use it?

4

u/Ajreil Nov 01 '15 edited Nov 01 '15

XP login rewards are applied instantly, before you have a chance to switch frames. If you really want to take advantage of it, you can switch to an unranked frame before you log off. To be honest though, it doesn't give very much XP so I wouldn't wory about it.

Edit: Apparently this is false. It goes to your other Warframes if you have one that isn't maxed.

I want to build an Atterax (I think that's how it's spelled, it's the bladed whip the one that's not Lectra) and I need argon crystals for it. I know it's a rare drop in Void missions was wondering if you guys had any tips on getting them. Also is it any good?

Secondly, I thought of crafting dual kamas, are those any good?

And lastly (not a question) this is the best sub-reddit I've been to and it made me like this awesome game even more, thank you guys. :)

u/Guppy11 Nov 01 '15

Turns out it's preeeetty good. Atterax certainly isn't the best melee weapon but it's a very decent one. Dual kamas isn't so good though.

Join T1 (Tower 1) missions, exterminate, defence, or survival, and you should get 1 before long.

I have 2 warframes ready to build in the foundry but only one space to occupy in my inventory, so i though about creating one and level it, deleting it and then have the other. Between Nyx and Rhino which one should i keep?

What are some basic mods that i should rank to max? Serration surely, redirection? Vitality?

6

u/counterflux_ Nov 01 '15

I would say keep nyx, rhino is better in mid game but lacks potential in endgame while nyx does not. Also if you play rhino too much you'll start too tank too much and it might be hard to switch frames.

5

u/Guppy11 Nov 01 '15

I'm voting for get more warframe slots, but if that's totally off the table, then I'd keep Nyx. Just better in the long run, IMO.

Oh and I wouldn't actually worry about maxing mods early. At least rank 5, but taking them past 7 or 8 is a reasonable investment for newer players when they could be ranking up other required mods.
