Hystrix Build 2018 (Guide) - The Quill Shooter (Warframe Gameplay)

With the addition of Khora we got a new secondary weapon in the form of the Hystrix. A very interesting automatic pistol that shoots quills and swappable elemental damage with a guaranteed status proc on top.

Hello guys, my name is Leyzar, and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 7 Secondary Weapon - The Hystrix. I'm gonna be covering something cheap and affordable, something anybody can build, but of course we also have the classic endgame set up for a Riven. Please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually follow a more "New Player Friendly" approach, so if you're a veteran of the game, and already know most of this stuff, then please bear with me.

With that out of the way, let's jump into the Hystrix Build. We will begin, as  per the usual, by checking out how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and for that I'm just gonna take a couple of free shots - a full spray of 16 bullets in the wall, or better said, quills - and you will see that the accuracy isn't really there ... I mean it's not terrible, and the recoil is definitely manageable, but the weapon unfortunately has a rather mediocre accuracy. Now, you're not firing bullets, you are firing these little quills, which have projectile travel time, so you will have to leave your targets just a little bit, but no fall-off at all, so you won't need to aim above them, just leave a little bit.

Now, in order to change your fire mode you will click alternative fire, and you can cycle through Fire

quill, Electric quill, Ice quill and of course, Poison quill, depending on your own circumstances.

We will be checking the stats, to see exactly what we are dealing with (Video)

Mod Capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Hystrix only has 30 out of 30, then jump into actions and plug in a Orokin Catalyst.

Conclusion:

Overall a solid and versatile secondary weapon with a lot more punch than its low mastery rank requirement would suggest.
