Pick off targets by highlighting distant enemies using this Grineer rifle's advanced laser sighting system. Deadly in both single fire and automatic modes.

The Argonak is a Grineer assault rifle that highlights enemies close to the reticule when aiming as long as they are within range, increasing visibility in dark areas. It's semi-auto main fire can be quickly changed to its secondary automatic mode to shred enemies at the cost of lowering critical chance.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.

Advantages:

  • Good base damage.
    • High Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
    • Highest per-hit damage of all full-auto rifles, though outmatched by various semi/burstfire rifles (e.g. Hind, Sybaris)
  • High crit chance in semi-auto mode.
  • High status chance in full auto mode.
    • Good status chance in semi-auto mode.
  • When aiming, highlights enemies within range using weapon's energy color, increasing visibility.

Disadvantages:

  • Slower fire rate in semi-auto mode.
  • Somewhat sluggish reload speed.
  • "Jams" when switching modes or trying to fire too quickly in semi-auto mode.
  • Relatively low base magazine capacity.

Notes

  • The Argonak has two fire modes, semi-auto as it's main fire mode and fully automatic mode as it's secondary. It's main fire mode has good status chance and high critical chance, while the auto mode lowers criticals in order to boost status even more.
  • Highlights enemies in color of energy choice while actively zoomed in.
  • Pitch of shots changes on the last 8 rounds letting you know you are near empty.

Tips

  • The high criticals and good status chance of the main semi-auto mode makes it good for obtaining critical slash procs, that can quickly bleed enemies through their armor,while the full-auto mode can quickly stack slash procs to chip away at the health of the enemy.

Trivia

  • The Argonak was first revealed during Warframe Partners Shul's and InexpensiveGamer's Twitch stream on October 4th, 2017.
