Hirudo, the healing claws
Greetings! Here is another beast of a weapon, that not only i like to use and keep using constantly, but a real unique one.
Clarify: Hirudo has realtively low damage (on paper anyways), however most of it is in puncture with the life-after-crit seemingly as it's mediocre passive. This was my first thought with it too...then started using it.
Now i feel unsafe any time i go with anything else :D
Everything maxed, of course:
- Primed pressure point
- Primed fury
- Berserker
- Organ shatter
- Body count
- Blood rush
- Fever strike
- North wind
Stance whichever you like, however i recommend using the matching polarity for more mod capacity.
Why viral next to the obvious? I just found it useful for most fights, since even though your status chance is relatively low, you se…
Ember: I Burn
So, after reading many a blog here since i started playing, i decided to finally do one of my own. Today, we're going to be talking about Ember, because in general, and as of late for me, people seem to be discounting her viability in high level content.
So, here's my build. A bit resource intensive for newer players, but thats to be expected of an optimized build.
I use Ember Prime, but the prime version isn't necessary. The polarities should also be fine, since normal Ember start with 2 dashes.
First of all, you want max efficiency, you're going to be using her 2 a lot and want keep the energy drain of her 4 to a minimum. (Edit: You can use a R4 Fleeting instead to increase your duration at only a minimal loss of energy drain on WoF) To bu…
Trinity the Team Support
Have you ever wondered, what the heck is EV? Why they demand that 'EV' frequently? I write this Blog as a GUide on how to build the said 'EV' which is also known as Energy Vampire Trinity. Besides that, I'll also include other builds for her for a wider use for her. If you are inclined to Supporting Class, you'll most probably love Trinity!

When this is casted on an enemy, he will be lifted airborne, glowing in green, and his Health is temporarily restored and multiplied by 10 temporarily. Any damage inflicted on that poor soul will heal you for a certain percentage, depending on your Strength.

Chromatic excalibur, the Grey Jedi path.
- 1 Introduction
- 1.1 Written in patch: 21.7.1
- 2 Modding
- 3 Arcanes
- 4 Explanation
- 5 Conclusion
Greetings! This is my second blog made since my electric chroma one. I'd like to share a build with you that not only brings me hours of fun, but is generally a half-hidden build, since excal is a pure starter frame, so nobody expects it to be endgame viable to this point.
Let me prove you wrong.
Ok, this is a different beast to crack, but you'll understand.
- Corrosive projection aura
- handspring exilus
- vitality
- redirecton
- primed flow
- primed continuity
- intensify
- fleeting expertise (5/6, we only need 50%)
- streamline (5/6, we are at cap)
- chromatic blade
- Arcane strike
- Arcane grace
To be fair, both arcanes are quality of life additions.

Rhino - The Frame for the Heavy Duties
Rhino is one of the earliest Frames that is obtainable by assassinating the Jackal. The heaviest of the Frames (literally, you can't be blown up by the air vents in the Void Secret Room Challenge), I find him viable for some specific use. Plus, his abilities are pretty much straight forward and are easy to be utilized.

Greetings! I wanted to share my favorite loadout to use for literally any situation, if i don't know what to expect, expect the worst, or just generally want to have fun.
Enjoy!
To start this one, i feel like i should mention that ever since chroma came out, he has been my main and favorite frame. I tried many styles and combinations (i have been the ice chroma with huge power str and heat with hp buffs) however, none fit me quite as the electric. I'll explain further down the road.
All the following mods are maxed, just to avoid confusion
- corrosive projection aura (provides more damage that steel charge, simulacrum-tested)

Loki - General Guide and Build
Have you ever wanted to play a slow, calming, and silent game play after all the hype and excitement any day can offer you? Well then, Loki is one of the choice for a Stealth game play. Almost like in game, Loki's origins and role in Norse mythology, which some have described, as that of a trickster god. Your role is to wreak havoc, and be as mischievous as you can while dealing damage and saving your own skin! And of course maybe your squad mates, too. Why not some fun and tease around them?

Light & Dark
Hi , so this is a fictional story about Prime , Regular & Umbra Warframe , Enjoy !!
A millenia ago we expanded into the unmonitored, unknown universe far more faster than the human history, but within this huge amount of progress come with the cost of humanity now ruled with dictatorship yet still with justice & morale called the Orokin Empire
Our vision was with the hope of establishing an outer colony for our dying homeplanet before it's too late, but our dreams crumbled when the Sentients attacked, it nearly ended the orokin empire but when we all ( Tenno ) defeated the sentients we'd realized that we are far more powerful than we'd ever imagine, we also realize that we can topple this great yet evil empire for good
We started the attack,…
Sortie Host Migration Anger Management.
First you are in a nice looking Sortie.
Spy:Radiation Hazard
Rescue:Enemy Physical Enhancement

Nuff said, but in all seriousness you are not the Host, so first mission Host Migration when THE HOST triggers the alarm in your Vault making you go panic like you are about to die! So you try and hack the vault but you don't enter the hacking animation because of a Host Migration you return and the Lotus says you failed.

You try again and suceed finally you win yey!
Then you do the other mission (Sarcastic yey). It's going okay I guess until you reach the prison you and the other guy are their you open the door and everybody rushes in the Prison, you go through the SNEAKY way the one wh…
Nezha's Water Park
A while ago, I posted Dreaming Before the War, which was about a dream I had about warframe. Commenters seemed to enjoy it, and I agreed that I would post another if one ever came. Luckily enough, one came.. it could have been better, but it's what I got, so..
In this dream, Warframe managed to grow so much as a franchise that they actually made their own theme park. I would compare it to Disney World, but that would be an insult to its size and immersive design. I went into the the park as I would go into any game, in Public mode, wearing Nezha. Yes, when you're in the park, you're wearing a warframe, weapons and all.
I enter, a screen ahead of me shows a trial screen, and the names of the fellow Tenno who are entering with me. These were s…
Harrow - A Guide
Harrow is a new frame that was introduced during the Update: Chains of Harrow. It was a long waited frame by the community, which later received quite an amount of mixed and surprised reviews, about how hard it is to acquire him and how complicated this frame can be.
This guide is more to a general idea on how to use him during several situations. I'll try to keep this guide easy to understand. Of course, any suggestion is welcomed and comment section is always open for more ideas and thoughts.

Universal Nekros Settings
Nekros is a well known frame. Without any doubt, once people mention "need Nekros etc" it will always refer to a maximized Desecrate build. In this humble blog, I would like to share my set up for Nekros: polarities to forma and the mods we require. Let's jump straight to the build.

Volt 101: A Guide to Volt
Welcome to Volt 101! In this guide we'll discuss what makes Volt (Prime) such a great Warframe. We'll take a look at his abilities, augments, synergies, builds, and overall viability.
Now that we know a bit more about Volt's abilities we can look into his Augments.
Let's talk about Volt's synergies between not only his own abilities but with the abilities of other Warframes and weapons as well.
So what are synergies? Synergies are the ways in which different abilities interact with one another to create a new effect.
Finally, the moment you probably skipped to: Builds
The big question here is, how should you build your Volt/Prime? There are many different build options for him, which is part of what makes Volt a fun frame: Speed builds, Sanctua…
Unofficial Damage Tutorials
Howdy! On the off chance you reading this consider yourself to be fairly new to the game, or just never really bothered to understand the damage system in Warframe, you are in luck! I have done an entire series of short, straight to the point videos on each damage type in the game individually, to the best of my knowledge, and are currently on the Damage 2.0 main page as well as every single damage type page.
While others in the past have done great reviews, discussions, and tutorials on the damage types in Warframe, it's often all damage types at once, or the videos are really long for what it is. Except for the first few, they all follow a logical progression and visual scheme, as well as them all being 2 minutes or less in length. While …
Dreaming Before the War
Hey Guys!
I've been grinding a lot due to my excitement for Tennocon. My mental involvement in the game has come to such an extent that I've been dreaming about the game, my mind making up the lore that fills in the blanks between now and the war. A friend told me to post about this, so here it is. In my dream..
I wake up and it's already 3 in the afternoon.
Shit! I'm late! I log into Warframe after activating the promo code for Digital Access pass and see that Baro is on the Pluto relay. I know that I won't have enough ducats for everything he has to offer, so I don't go to buy from him just yet. Looking just to the right of the front console, I see notifications for Tennocon, and I also see that there is a new mission available for 3 days t…
How to guesstimate upcoming prime releases, vaults and unvaults
If you want the tl;dr version, scroll down at the bottom for the full spreadsheet summary screenshot ;)
All you need to make a guess, just like I do, is at the bottom of that page here on the wiki => Warframes
Also all my sources come from this wiki and announcements made on the official website and the official forum.
Not a single information on this page is sourced by datamining. Please do not consider these as "official release dates".
The rules are simple :
0. "Any frame is eligible to be primed" Every warframe should have its prime version at some point in the future. Unless they have a sudden change of plan or something else entirely, we cannot know what they prepare for the future of Warframe. Or maybe watching Steve's twitch stream every S…
Sorties for Dummies
I will preface this post by mentioning that sorties cannot be accessed until you've finished The War Within Quest, so I guess there may be minor unintentional spoilers in here.
So, you've come a long way in your journey through warframe. Thinking about doing sorties, but haven't found much help from your friends or online resources? Hopefully this can be a one-stop guide to help cover all the basics of what to expect when going into sorties.
I found myself often giving advice to my friends, so I thought I'd just condense all my little tips into a post. But as the information piled up, I found myself with an intimidating wall of text, so I thought a blog post might be the best platform for this. Keep in mind all of these tips and strategies …
Suggestion : distinguish vaulted relics in prime locations
This issue has now been resolved, thanks Finner for the fix ;)
When people want to check where they can farm specific primes, they can't do it via that specific prime page anymore. These "locations" are kind of obsolete, misinform new players and lengthen the time it takes to get precise information. Kind of the opposite of a wiki's role.
Let's take the Braton Prime for instance (image on the right)
As you can see there's plenty of relics to farm this from, but unfortunately most of these relics are actually Vaulted.
It would be really usefull if we had a little something to know which relics are vaulted and which aren't, like a little asterisk+line at the bottom or the word "(vaulted)" next to each vaulted relic.
Now the issue is I don't know …
Devstream 91 new mods
Here are the mods showed during Devstream 91
They ere not be the released version so their stats may change
Stokpilled Blight : 2% seems weird since Slip magazine is 30% but it may change.
Entropy Detonation : remind me of vulcan blitz but it need channeled ground attack so maybe a gimmick ?
Avenging Truth : may be nice but S&A need more imo to be good but we'll see when it's released.
Voltage Sequence : sounds like a gimmick to me but the radiation aoe from sequence may be enougth.
Neutralizing Justice : i don't use the miter a lot so i don't know but 1shoting nullifier bubble looks like a great utility addition for the miter.
The last one is basically firestorm for pistol so it's cool.
'what are your thought about those mods ?'

Sortie Fix?
So, I've been reading up on people complaining about the Sorties recently.
While I am glad that the sorties have now been changed so I don't permanently get Nezha gear, and I know that they are working on it, there is always that feeling in my heart whenever I get a lens or booster, the feeling of "why do I even bother?"
Let me just quickly get my opinions on lenses and boosters out of the way first.
I no longer have a need for lenses, and unless they are Naramon or Zenurik, they aren't worth anything at all.
Secondly, I detest boosters illogically. While I agree that they are useful, it is the only Warframe reward that I have seen you require to actually play the game more to make use of it. I don't like the idea of starting down that road.
So…

Countermeasures 1.0
Introduction
Welcome to Countermeasures!
I have used the warframe wiki to find damage output information for my Tenno to use against enemies of all faction types. There came a point that I wanted to know what types of damage my enemies were dealing to my Tenno, as a faction, and as higher class enemies. I noticed very quickly that I needed to jump between multiple pages to find information on just one faction, from physical to elemental damage, to the rules governing alarm triggered enemies (Prosecutor, Bursa, Juggernaut Sentient) damage and armor types. So I poured over those pages (Damage (and all subcategories for physical and elemental types), Factions (each individual Grineer, Corpus, Infested, and Corrupted enemy page) and gathered …
How I Trin, 2017 edition
I've been wanting to write an article for a while on my current Trinity builds, but I have been too lazy. I was finally jarred into action by this article on Reddit, which contained so many god-awful builds that I just had to jump in with my own (god-awful :)) builds.
Like many, I was originally disconcerted by the changes made to Trinity last year, but I didn't join with many of the others who took up pitchforks to storm the DE offices. The usage of self-damaging Bless builds at the time was definitely unhealthy for the game as a whole and I agree that the changes needed to be made. However, since my main build at the time was Bless, I found myself a bit lost for a while, until I settled down on a new main build, which I'll discuss below.

Banshee Introduction for players farming the Prime
Hey everybody
In light of Banshee Prime being released, as a Banshee main I thought I would write up a quick article on her various skills, augments and play-styles. I know that not everyone's play-style will correspond to Banshee, but if after reading this article anyone is tempted to give her a go, I will feel my mission is accomplished.
Banshee play-style:
The best way to describe Banshee would be 'utility cc frame'. She provides crowd control and damage amplification to the team at the cost of being very squishy. Banshee is best suited for late game play, as her damage amplifcation is largely unnecessary before enemies hit level 100+, although it is of course always welcome to any squad. She shines best in constructed team comps as oppos…
Some More Riven Mod Videos/Random Stuff
I havn't made a blog post in over two months and blogs have been pretty far between lately, so i thought i would shake up the blogs section a bit with some fun content i have made on my Youtube channel, as well as describing some of the videos.

Stealth and it's current state
Before you start reading the following wall of text below, I apologize in advance for any misinformation and information that I may have missed.
With that said, stealth in Warframe has undergone several changes, for both good and bad. This however, will mostly point out my problems with the current mechanics of sneaking around the solar system. Here are those problems:
- Freshly Spawned Stealth Penalty; Back when the AI was still quite oblivious to corpses and enemies dying right next to them and Focus was still new, there exists an alternative method to farm a large amount of affinity with little time spent other than Draco's Interception. That method was to run Exterminate missions with Invis-Frames (Ash, Ivara, Loki) and a killing weapon of…
Sorties not Sorted
These damn sorties... Been running off and on for 2 weeks now since RL happens... stupid work and family... I am so tired of holding out both hands at the end of the run, waiting for a glistening purple riven and as RNGesus descends his 8 bit cloud in a beam of channelled light from the DEHeavens... he squats down and takes a giant steaming 24 hour credit booster in my outstretched hands...
I am not one for ragequitting, much, but I was very tempted. If it werent for work today I probably wouldn't have quit at all and just kept going, maybe farming Kavat genetics again, think im at 7 of 10, Wasn't super invested since I didn't have enough slots, but then I was graced with a couple of Rivens I didn't need in the first week so I got enough pl…
Crossroads
Warframe is currently standing on some fascinating crossroads. A lot of people feel bored or furstrated about the game or annoyed at how others feel. I decided to make this post to bring back some hope as the game is approaching a very interesting changes even though it's currently dealing with a lot of issues as well.
Due to the powercreep overtaking warframe the nature of the game shifted a lot and the multitude of new systems and workarounds brought us to a situation where after years of providing solid content warframe earned the need to posses a beta title, which is quite surprising and somewhat worrying, but I think it's just a cocoon we're waiting to spawn our wings out of. What we need is to make the choice of a clear design directi…
Archwing
Now I understand a lot of people groaned just reading that name, and that's what I wanted to talk about. DE have made numerous attempts at "fixing archwing, but most people still find it boring, or just to hard to control. I am one of these people, that's why I think DE should overhaul archwing altogether, it's such an overlooked game mode, I mean the idea is there, just the execution is... Poor. Any ideas on what could be done to revive this lost game mode???
A New Kind of Melee Build
Ever since the Shadow Debt event, there is no doubt that melee has jumped from being arguably the worst way of dealing damage with weapons to being one of the best. In the few months after that event, multiple new builds have sprung up for melee weapons that make them some of the highest scaling weapons in the game. Recently, one specific build that differs greatly from the norm (it uses no elemental mods) has sprung up that makes one very specific type of weapon extremely powerful.
Here's the build on the Atterax. Disclaimer: the build is VERY expensive.
https://goo.gl/VPuAPN
Now, at face value, this build seems trash. There's essentially only one damage mod in it. However, all that means is that the upfront damage is very small. The genera…
Active once again
After months of not playing Warframe, I've finally decided to start playing it again. This means that not only will I be active in Warframe (PS4 version btw), but I'll also be on the wiki frequently. I was desperate for a real challenge after blitzing through Destiny for days on end, so coming back to Warframe was on the horizon for a long time. Expect to see me on here regularly from now on.

EMP - Endgame Melee Pyromancer
Build working in Update 19.5 PC (23/12/2016)
Build working in Update 19.5.7.1 (13/01/2017)
Ember is mostly known for her WoF, which is annoying and not end-game viable.
I started looking for a way to make her not only good against high-level enemies but, most importantly, fun to play.
The setup is similar to others that might have been suggested by others already, but the performance is on a whole other level thanks to the particular combination of equipment and abilities I focused on.
The build revolves and is made viable by a melee weapon which has been buffed in a previous update, so let's start from there.
Twin Basolk.
After the buff and the new nightmare mods, they can reach 100% status with just 2 dual elementals + drifting contact.

The Alt-Fight
In comparison to many of you, I am still a noob, a fledgling, a puppy among wolves. Still, I love talking with you. When I was introduced to this game, I quickly noticed that people often cling to their choice of frames and tools. At first, I thought that Frost Prime would be my "main". I was a bit stubborn in thinking that Frost, Dread, and Redeemer was the best combination in the game, and that nothing could be better. After realizing that I haven't even unlocked half of the frames, my dedication took a staggering impact.
I hated Limbo, now I love it. I hated Loki, now I love it. I hated Trinity, now I love it. The way I play is drastically different to the way I used to, and it makes me want a new game within this game. According to the …
(Updated Dec 17) Darthmufin's Riven Mods: Videos And Discussion
Here i will be posting the riven mods that i have gotten so far (barring the first one which was a crap mod for the Vulklok) along with their videos i have made for them.
(Note: As of December 17th, some of this may be outdated)
First off, my opinions on Riven Mods in general. Initially, i hated the idea for the most part, mostly because of how much RNG was involved. Besides the first mod you get from the quest (which can be a mod for sentinel weapons, unfortunately) Riven mods are currently only awarded from Sortie missions as a possible reward. After doing 3 so far and not getting a single one, i think it's fair to add that to the first issue i have with the mods.
Second, the weapon that the mod is for is randomized, meaning chances are if …
SPOILERS new mod thing is bad.
If you played the game for any longer period of time you probably noticed that the surface micro transaction model of warframe isn't great. Aside from cosmetics, there's no point to buy anything that affects the way you play the game, as most of what warframe has to offer is the carrot on a stick chase for the new shiny thing.
When I saw the riven mods I was a bit baffled. I mean, DE reads feedback. I don't expect them to not be aware that people are just getting sick of constant rng. Many people sooner or later drop out because warframe is just too demanding of their time. So they know what Riven mods are and they know what type of response is going to come from them.
When designing a weapon or a power for a game, you have to look at a few …
war Within Bread Crumbs
So over the past few days we have been receiving multiple bits of information on the War Within. Recently a whole lot of information has gotten out on Twitter and other forms of soocial media. Obviously we can all see what some of the fan channels know and what they have been telling us but it is limited for obvious reasons. We've seen the new tileset, mission types, and a few new weapons and attatchments.
However there is a lot of other content that we've seen through devstreams and other sources that we have not seen and may not see until a later update. I want to share what we know so far based on what bread crumbs have been fed to us so far.

Pets of Prey
I like Kubrows and Kavats, but it seems like there is little diversity in companions, as opposed to the sentinals. The species are certainly different, but you still only have the choice between one or the other. There could be more kinds of companions to bring around, like birds, or like little aliens, and that got me thinking.
Imagine being able to have an infested themed companion! It wouldn't just be putting infested armor on your already existing pets, it would be an entirely new pet. I already have a fun idea for what it could be and how to require it.
You're in an invasion, when you hear the Phorid screaming in the distance. You dash into its lair and appear on the other side of the room with a dead Phorid lying on the ground, mangled…
The Political System (Pun Intended)
I've been enjoying trying to figure out the Grineer and Corpus bosses political affiliations since I began the game.
So far, it seems to me that most of the games bosses lean toward the authoritarian areas, and libertarian characters seem to be characters allied or sympathetic to the Tenno (like Darvo or Teshin).
I really can't wait for The War Within, because I am really expecting a bit more political development in the system. Could the Grineer and Corpus actually work together to fight for something in their mutual interest? Could someone like Sargas Ruk become a vigilante for the sake of fighting a more personal battle with Alad V? These are the things that come into mind when I imagine the possibilities of the characters in the future.

A Stalker, A System
I haven't seen an assassin in a week, despite playing for hours daily.
I have a Stalker, Zanuka, The Grustrag Three, and three syndicate Death Platoons who say they're gonna fight me, but none at all have shown up. I see the good in having their spawn rates low obviously; not everyone wants to fight a corpus machine made of mangled warframe or a trio of mutated and crazy grineer every five minutes. I think I know a semi-reasonable way that DE could make them a bit easier to come by which allows the player to have some amount of control.
Obviously, when a tenno is hopping planet to planet, it would be hard for an assassin to hone in and get to us quickly.
Currently, our vengeful little friends have a set spawning rate like stalkers 1.5%+ (0.5 …
Ideas
I've only been playing this game for two months, and I am certainly pleased with the experience.
I was trying to think of some things that be added to the game, and I thought of some things.
Sometimes, I really need to use a specter while I'm doing excavation or devense missions, and I noticed that they never really go to a place that I want them to be. I figured it might be really helpful to be able to actually direct the specters to stand at a specific spot, instead of just leading them to a general area and have them stay. Also, especially in excavation, it could be supremely useful to have a specter pick up an item for us. Imagine going solo on an excavation and directing your specter to pick up power cores from the ground for you while …
Using 1000 Forma
I never thought that I would hit 1k forma used, since I was just forma'ing items that were unique or that I liked. I came to realise how close I was when I made a notepad file a few months back with all my items in it, just because I was bored. I think I had 750-800'ish forma used at the time, so I thought I could aim for 1k forma since I was so close anyways.
Here are the current stats:
- Total Forma Used: 1010-ish
- Warframes: 120
- Primaries: 363
- Secondaries: 243
- Melee: 206
- Companions: 34
- Sentinel Weapons: 28
- Archwings: 5
- Archwing Primaries: 11
- Arching Melee: 9
- Here are my items.
Now my next milestone is maxing out every item in my inventory, maybe I'll even max out many of the same "family" items that I skipped. (e.g. Gorgon, since I have Prisma/Wraith)
I…
Tips To Prevent Or Delay Warframe Burnout
I have been playing warframe since a week after they hit open beta, So almost 3 years at this point. I have 1,238,190 Mastery (Rank 22) with 2,764 Hours in game as of me writing this. Despite being high rank and pretty invested into the game, anyone who views my profile in game (superbot34) will notice that the "most used" gear is also the most mediocre or even average, and the stuff that tends to be called the "best" stuff is normally the stuff i use the least.
So how in the world can i enjoy myself if i'm not going up against the same level 150 grineer while using the best weapons in the game? Simple! I find ways to make each mission a bit more fun, by several means that i will explain here, and hopefully prevent or extend the point to wh…
Comment Clutter
There seems to be an inordinate amount of comments coming from 'A Lone Tenno'.
I have even seen a comment from 'A Group of Lone Tennos'. I'm not sure what that is, I forgot to click on it, but it was clickable.
Do you agree that comment posting should require a login id?
It is relatively simple to get a login ID with wikia. I don't see how this should be a problem for anyone. I don't have to log in again as it is persistent.
Perhaps people would either not clutter up the threads/pages with irrelevant comments or they would think twice about what they do post. It is hard enough to try to follow comments on pages without 'A Lone Tenno' cluttering things up.
Is there a way of doing a poll? I don't see it.
I suppose if you agree, then say so be…
The Vacuum Within
So, it's finally here. The first update since I started Warframe where I genuinely feel as though DE made a mistake. The Vacuum Within is, in my view, an ill-thought bandaid to a genuine player issue.
The problem arose because the majority of players used Carrier and its 12m Vacuum exclusively. Other than a few difficult missions (where I use DethCube with Sweeper) I have only ever used Carrier because Vacuum is so immensely useful and because otherwise I would have to choose between missing out on drops or slowing down my gameplay and staring at the floor. It's not a matter of 'git gud' or 'being a casual' as people on the forums seem to imply - I just don't like the pace of the game for me when I don't have carrier equipped.
DE had several…
Devs, Please.
I was introduced to this game about a month ago by user Iceburn250.
In my time playing, I've had a lovely time trying, failing, winning, and discovering.
There are a few things that I figured I might point out, in case this hasn't been brought to the dev teams attenition.
1- During invasion missions, I've heard Grineer yelling "Tenno skoom!" when I was fighting on their side. It seems strange to have what is effectively a team mate calling me scum while I'm saving their life. It isn't really a problem, just something I thought was weird.
2- After The Silver Grove update came out, I heard Ordis say "Did you fuse your mods, operator? Did they.. anger you in some way". Since the update added endo, we don't really "fuse" them now right? It seems l…
Unorthodox Builds And Combinations
For over a year, perhaps even 2 year at this point, i stopped caring about pushing guns and warframes to their limits and only going for the highest possible content, while using weapons i didn't really liked but i had to use as they were capable of clearing the enemies i was forcing myself to fight. I instead started going back to weapons i forgot about like the kraken, realizing that with just the right flick of the mouse i could get both shots to land on the head at decent ranges and the sound felt satisfying when i killed them with said headshot. I hear the "crunch" and i feel physically satisfied.
That rarely happens with most weapons i use in warframe. Even how fast a weapon fires can affect if it feels satisfying for me to use. For e…
The Interception war concludes
Alright,I know you guys have made several points and perspectives on the Interception mode.
- 1 Equipment
- 2 Faction
- 3 Ancient Retribution mod
- 4 And that's that
In case you were wondering what gear I have,here they are:
Warframes:Valkyr
Primary weapons:Tigris,Hind,Paris Prime
Secondary weapons:Azima,Aksomati,Seer(this one made the Earth Interception mission ridiculously easy)
Melee:Broken-War
So,erm, the Seer must have been the key.
Becuz that was how I managed to whack all 4 points.
BUT, the point here is, can one solo Tenno complete an Interception mission, WHATEVER GEAR THEY HAVE?
When it comes to maps,Grineer missions are the choice.
But the Corpus? They may have the enviroment to their advantage.
But what they DON'T have is their forces.
See,most of their …
New relic grind?
Ok, was just making some fissure runs and then it dawned on me! Don't know if it's already confirmed or not, but when they let us keep the relics containing vaulted parts (Mag Prime + Weapons) does that mean that they will make new relics for every new prime stuff they add?
If that's the case, then we are going to have soooooo many different relics (provided you did not use all relics containing freshly vaulted parts) and we will end up having like 30 different relics for every aera... ascending trend.
But my biggest "problem" with that would be the fact that i can't instantly start farming new prime parts they just introduced because the first step will be to go and grind those frigging relics. That will cost so much more time, even further…
Quality of the weapons in Warframe.
So, I recently started Warframe back during the start of Saryn Prime Access. Due to the Nikana Prime looking cool as shit to me, I decided to buy it. After playing for 6 months and spending a dick load of time screaming for stuff in trading, I got my hands are a pretty good number of weapons. Then I notice something.
I found out that the new weapons are getting way too powerful in contrast to the older weapons, especially in raw numbers. Also, with the upcoming release of the Gelatine Prime (might have spelt wrong) and the Tigris Prime, they are hinted to have really bizzarely high numbers, if what is shown in all these videos are true. My question is this, if the trent of releasing stronger and stronger weapons continues, will it reach a p…
