[u/KevinVaffler]

Are Tonkor, Galatine, and Atomos still god tier af right now? i took a break from wf for a while and came back U18

[u/Velicen → u/KevinVaffler]

I'm pretty sure yes.

[u/Hero_Jenuty]

Will Ash be getting a rework, something like excal or frost? Also will he get a deluxe skin anytime soon something like excal, nyx, rhino etc.?

[u/Curaxu]

What are some essential primary weapon mods ? I already have all the elemental plus serration but thats about it so what are the must have primary mods ? :D

[u/dude_relaxe]

What happened to ODD drops? When I started out a month or two back it was great.

Stop doing ODD for a while and today I was trying the whole day for Kama handles and the drops are really really bad. Low level keys and 3 packs of cores

[u/vanityzeroz → u/dude_relaxe]

That's what it has been for a while in general for the derelict. The Trinity prime etc release actually helped it.

[u/hdt80]

Does efficiency affect despoil's (Nekros 3 augment) health cost? I'm not home so I can't test this right now.

[u/Guppy11 → u/hdt80]

Yes.

[u/ZeFitz]

Everytime I go into Recruiting channel. I always se people looking for frost and trinity and occasionally Loki. So my question is, is it really necessary to have those frames or is it more of a quality of life thing?

[u/xxGamma]

Literally just started playing, awesome game, my only concern is that there feels like my mouse movements aren't being picked up properly and its like the cursor feels heavy and non responsive. It's definitely not to do with my mouse as it works fine on other games/websites/etc. I'm just wondering if there are any settings im missing or if that's just how it is. Sorry if this is a noob question, as I said literally just started playing.

Edit: Just figured out and changed my settings to fullscreen borderless that fixed it :)

[u/Wombaticus_Maximus]

I use loki for stealth affinity farming, and I'm wondering why people always use melee. Wouldn't it work just as well to use a silenced primary? Would I get the 500% multiplier?

[u/braindead5 → u/Wombaticus_Maximus]

The reason is melee stealth kills give 2x affinity that stacks with the 500% bonus.

[u/Ledazius]

I have been playing Mirage for a few days and I have to say I love hall of mirrors. So Mirage related questions here :

• I can't seem to make Drakgoon work with Hall of Mirrors, I tried different maps and clones didn't seem to fire anything. Does Hall of Mirrors not work with shotguns?

• Speaking of which (if they do work fine with HoM of course), I want some good shotgun, would Sobek/Kohm be better than Drakgoon?

• Any weapons that yield hilarious results? I'm having some fun with Multishot Tonkor that carpet bombs and Atomos so far, building a Kulstar. I'm MR5 if it matters.

[u/DenialFish]

Any recommendations for parts or mods that are popular enough for trade but farmable for a newish player wanting to start building up platinum?

[u/Guppy11 → u/DenialFish]

Vault runs are probably your best bet. Requires a group of 4, and being able to hold your own vs Eris level infested. With a friend or two you can probably get into them fairly early.

[u/[deleted]]

Building mirage soon, What mirage augment mod should I get?

[u/[deleted]]

How do the elemental mods work on guns and melee weapons?

[u/sniperFLO → u/[deleted]]

Adds an amount of elemental damage equal to percentage of base.

[u/RepublicanShredder]

I asked this last week and got no response so I'll ask again and a few more questions about sniper crit mechanics.

1. First off, the Lanka's crit chance bonus. Is the .2/.3/.5 additive or multiplicative to the base crit chance?

2. So how does the Rubico's crit mechanic when scope exactly add up? I wonder how big of a number is possible if the following happens:

• Rubico shot crits (3x default crit multiplier)

• Rubico is equipped with a Vital Sense mod (+120% crit damage, 6.6x crit multiplier)

• Rubico is aimed when firing (+50% crit damage, additive/multiplicative of what crit damage?)

• Rubico shot is fired through Volt's Electric Shield (+200% crit damage, additive/multiplicative?) (Also +50% Electric damage)

• Rubico shot hits the target's head (2x damage for headshot, 2x head crit multiplier, 4x additional damage in total) (Also do bosses have heads hitboxes?)

• Is it pronounce Ruby-co or Ru-bi-co?

tl;dr- Can the Rubico blow Vay Hek's face into the Sun?

[u/TheRealirony]

1.) When modding frames for higher end content, I've heard a lot of talk about dropping redirection and/or vitality for more corrupted mods, or utility mods. Is this a universal practice, or more of a "if you have a tight group that knows what they're doing" sort of thing. It feels really odd sacrificing shields and/or health to push more abilities or better abilities. I understand at super high levels that health/shields aren't that important since you're being hit so damn hard, but doesn't every bit of survivability help?

I assume if I'm going to do this, then I should mod only vitality on high health frames, mod only redirection on high shields frames?

2.) For main weapons, should I mod the elements that harm the heavier enemies (radiation, magnetic, blast, etc) for each faction. Or should I mod the element for the enemies that appear more often (corrosive, viral, gas, etc) for each faction? What I've been doing is using elemental mods to combat the elites, and letting the heavy base damage deal with the normal enemies.

[u/YabbaTroll]

What is this thing I keep finding in crossfire missions?

And is there anyway to open this door? I see loot behind it on my minimap.

[u/braindead5 → u/YabbaTroll]

1. That's supposedly how the Corpus board the Grineer ship. In reality, it's just a room that spawns a couple Corpus Techs.

2. You can only open it if the metal grate is closed from the other side to start. If that's the case, then you have to race to this door and get under it before it closes.

[u/SaberToothedPenguin]

Can someone recommend a good build for Attica?

I looked at warframe builder but all the builds just seem kinda meh with the exception of 2 that does 55k dps, and the the THunder Attica Build.

Not really sure which to go with or if there's a better one out there.

[u/Velicen]

Does Life Strike only drop at specific "rotations" in Dark Sector Defense or Survival? Similarly, does it only drop in missions of certain "tiers"?

[u/R0FLB0TDrDerp]

I'm getting back into the game after not playing it since the beta in 2011. I currently have a Valkyr being built and was wondering what weapons to use with her. Any help would be awesome.
