Weapons are used by Warframes, Archwings, Sentinels, and enemies to cause damage. Weapons can be leveled up for more mod capacity to apply more mods and increase capability. There are three main weapon types used by Warframes: Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons. Sentinels also have a single weapon that is leveled up independently called Robotic weapons.
Most weapons can be obtained by crafting them in the Foundry with a blueprint and resources/components. Weapon blueprints can be obtained as a reward from Quest or limited-time events, or bought from vendors like the Market. Some weapons can be bought pre-built using Platinum from the Market or Ducats from Baro Ki'Teer. Each weapon's respective article on the wiki will provide details on where to obtain their respective blueprints; clicking on a particular weapon in the Market will also provide farming locations, albeit less detailed.
Usage
Weapons in WARFRAME obtain Affinity (experience points) when used in combat. When enough Affinity has been obtained, the weapon rank increases, up to a maximum rank of 30 (except the Paracesis, Kuva Weapons, and Tenet Weapons). Ranking up weapons grants 100 Mastery Points per rank (for a total of 3,000 Mastery Points) to the player. Mastery Points are only awarded once per rank, per weapon; once a rank has been completed, doing it again with another copy of the weapon or using a Forma to reset the weapon's rank gives no extra Mastery Points. Different variants of the weapon, such as MK1, Prime, Wraith among others, each have their own Mastery Points. Some weapons, mainly pistols, have dual-wielded versions, but these are for all purposes distinct weapons and also have their own Mastery Points.
A weapon's Mod capacity is equal to the higher of either the weapon's rank or the player's Mastery Rank. An Orokin Catalyst can be installed to double the weapon's capacity, for a new maximum of 60. All weapons have 8 Mod slots, and melee weapons have an additional Stance slot, which can be used to further expand the capacity.
A new player will have the choice of 6 different weapons in the Awakening tutorial, 2 from each weapon slot. Players can choose between the Braton and Paris as their primary, the Lato and Kunai as their secondary, and the Skana and Bo as their melee.
