Going on the advice I've gotten recently for getting the last few MR ranks I'm trying to vary my loadouts every so often and just remodded a weapon I enjoy but rarely use: The Javlok

I know it's not great but I enjoy it. I figured it'd be fun to hear what everyone's pet weapons are. What weapons, if any, do you keep around that aren't powerful but you enjoy them?

Yeah, understanding how mods interact gets progressively more important as you go. I can explain how to make your weapons better, at least, quickly:

Each 'category' of damage is multiplicative to other categories while all mods within a category are additive to each-other. The categories are Base (ex Serration), Elemental (ex Stormbringer), Multi-Shot (ex Split Chamber), Critical (ex Point Strike & Vital Sense), and Faction (ex Bane of Grineer).

So, you could get the Arsenal to show you high numbers slapping all your elemental mods on a gun but it won't be as effective as using 1-2 of each category. So, make the combo element that hurts whichever faction you're fighting and use the appropriate Bane mod and you should cut through Sedna like you're back on Earth.

But there's more; There's several types of special mods that are only gotten from a few places:

  • Nightmare Mods: They give two positive effects. Nightmare mods tend to cost less mod cap and give less of the effect but getting two effects from one mod tends to be worthwhile (so long as both effects are good). They're only acquired from Nightmare Mode Alerts that show up in places you've already unlocked.
  • Corrupted Mods: Give a positive effect and a negative effect. The positive effect tends to be larger than you could get on a normal mod when maxxed out and for some weapons or warframes the negative has no or almost no impact (ex less fire rate on a gun with 1 shot magazine, you reload rather than be slowed by fire rate). You get these buy opening the Dragon Vaults on Deimos missions which will require Dragon Keys.
  • Galvanized Mods: Give a positive effect and a conditional positive effect (ex more crit chance for a few seconds after getting a headshot) these are extremely powerful mods but you can only get them from the Arbitration shop on relays, which uses Vitus Essence from the Arbitration gamemode as it's currency. You need to do every node on the star chart to unlock it.

You can use these various special mods to squeeze even more power out of your gear, but you'll likely need Forma to make best use of it all. And Orokin Catalysts.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to work through my remaining MR fodder. I've picked a few things off my remaining unmastered list and started trying to acquire them... only problem is these things have proven unexpectedly difficult/annoying to get. So, is there a resource somewhere to allow for quick differentiation based on ease of acquisition?

I've got few enough things on the list I could probably fit the set of all weapons I haven't mastered yet into 3-4 screenshots if that'd help.

Edit: Was asked for the screenshots:

Took a bit more than I thought. While I was at it also took a few of the other things that give MR:

I have Tatsu Prime & Citrine building but otherwise I think the screenshots show a pretty accurate listing of what I still need to put effort into.

Just finished maxing out my Railjack Build and recalled that it at least appeared to be that Railjack was an underappreciated game mode.

So, does anyone like it now? How've you built your railjack? Do you use Lavos when doing Railjack or manufacture energy as-needed?

Is there a way to stop the mad ramblings of Liches while I'm hunting them?

It's sometimes entertaining but there's too many Lich personalities that are just grating, and I've most definitely got one of those now while I'm just trying to get a new weapon to wring the MR from.

Hello everyone,

Just did a few missions on the Zariman and remembered a post from here or back on the old subreddit talking about some people still never using Operator mode. So I figured it'd be interesting to hear what people think about it and how much they've invested into it:

  • Do you use Operator/Drifter mode any more than absolutely necessary?
    • If so do you prefer the Drifter or Operator?
  • How much effort have you put into your Amp(s)?
    • Have you built several with significantly different behaviors? [Ex one a flamethrower, one a grenade launcher etc]
  • Do you use Operator &/or Amp Arcanes?
    • If so which ones?
    • If so have you raised them to maximum rank?
  • What Focus School do you main?
    • Is it the school you started with?
    • How far into it are you?
  • Have you used other schools?
    • If so have you unbound anything from them?
  • What would you say your primary method of getting Focus is?
    • Do you like that method?
  • Compared to your main Warframe how effective is Operator Mode for you?
    • Compared to an average Warframe how effective is Operator Mode for you?
  • Is there any stand out utility of the mode for you?
  • What would you say your general opinion of the mode is?

Besides Viral Damage and status chance, obviously. I've been slowly wringing all the MR out of my favorite primer, my Kuva Nukor, and I've gotten to the point where I'm not sure if my mod selections are quite worth the slot... and I've got plenty of capacity to work with.

This is my current build. To me the point is that it applies max stacks of Viral ASAP, as an added bonus it's Kuva element is Radiation which prevents buffing enemies from doing much of anything. As is unless I'm on SP the Nukor can and will kill most enemies quite efficiently.

So, what do you do with a Viral Primer once it primes Viral with all the gusto is can?

Edit: Taking all the suggestions here's what I've got:

This is looking pretty awesome now.

Just finished building the Hespar and slapped a build from Overframe on it... I didn't use to have a favorite melee weapon beyond what looked nicest strapped to my hip. I didn't really use melee much. Hespar w Galeforce Down is now my favorite. Love the wide swings and quick forward advance letting me carve through hordes with minimal effort.

Might just have to put together a loadout using all my favorite things now since there's enough to fill all slots.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 9 points 2 months ago

All the more reason to have primary base on a freighter.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Shedu if fits my style nicely... maybe not always aesthetically but my gameplay style. It's a launcher, firing explosives but it does so at pinpoint accuracy so you can readily get headshots.

Feels so nice to use. Feels so painful to get though.

So, a friend of mine and I just went two for two on frustrating experiences:

SP Interception is just frustrating for the two of us. We struggle to clear all the gits from the capture points between their high health and constantly streaming in. In general we can each take and hold a point then potentially hold a third long enough to gain the lead. However, the Acolyte then spawns in and annoys us long enough to lose the lead, mostly through trolling with their abilities.

I have a Kuva Lich and my friend has a Sister of Parvos as our On Call Crewmen but neither of us have put any work into optimizing them, they're both just more-or-less the first thing we spared rather than killed. I also summon Kahl and his support units while my friend calls Ancient Healers (they prefer a different Air Support).

I know my Lich isn't optimal, it uses one of the less impressive Kuva variant guns, the Quartakk, and only has one power that's noticeably helpful: their version of Hollowed Ground. Their SoP Crewman is similarly unimpressive but I don't recall the specifics. Both of us need better help. So, what should we be looking for in terms of the best support for SP missions?

Just killed my current Lich and got the Kuva Nukor, and now I'm wondering how it will compare to the Tenet Cycron for Priming. This is their comparison on the equip screen:

Anyone have experience with both weapons? Which would you say is generally better for the job? Of note: I don't do collision overload and rarely melee in general.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I tried it a long time ago, it's a decent 2d fighting minigame. If you like fighting games and have someone to play it with it may be worth grabbing... if Tropper's glitch has been fixed I've never experienced it.

Just finished the Steel Path and got all the Bobbles!

Arranged them as an homage to the pre-Orbiter mission select screen. The Deimos bobble isn't clearly visible but it's there between Mars and Phobos. The Zariman Bobble is unfortunately out of frame on my Pedestal Prime.

In my experience;

The best grinds are those that you're either grinding multiple things at once. For example: Doing a mission that gives parts for something you want while also doing it as a Void Rift so you collect Relics (ideally also for Prime items you want). You would also, ideally, be leveling weapons simultaneously to these grinds to be grinding three things at once but as you go it gets harder and harder to have new weapons to grind.

There are a few grinds that are still very worthwhile even when they're not multi-grinds. Getting to max rank with Fortuna is one of them. Efficient grinding of Focus for the Operator (once you get it, and the Zariman) is another.

Dante: No Grind? (dormi.zone)
submitted 5 months ago by Halasham@dormi.zone to c/warframe@dormi.zone

Am I lucky for once in my life or is Dante a really eazy grind? I just got half of Dante and ~130 pity points in one run then finished off the pps on a single C rotation. So with less than an hour of work I've got the new frame under construction.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Hm, now I wonder how a finely tuned fighter compares to a S-Class Sentinel ship in terms of combat ability.

Experiencing some oddness, testing if I can post.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 4 points 6 months ago

The #1 thing you'll need: A willingness to build in ways that you likely aren't already. That's about it. You may need to get new/different mods to do so or want particular weapons or frames but really you can turn most things into SP builds of varying effectiveness. If you're willing to stack all the multipliers and use precisely what the enemy is weakest to you can cut down most enemies reasonably well... missions that require you do to more than murder are still hard though.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 4 points 9 months ago

Haven't gotten around to trying it out much yet. Is it really that impactful?

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 6 points 9 months ago

Fishonochi is very... chatty on the statue intercom. I might have to move him into Dagoth's room.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it can happen. (Un)Fortunately they can't equip them to make themselves more interesting.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 4 points 1 year ago

My Warframe posts are staying here. Would be amusing if the sub was turned into just a meta-sub discussing the pre-blackout sub... in the same vein as the new John Oliver fan clubs.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I was kind-of hoping that any reopening of the sub would be for knowledge categorization and collection to be brought here.
