Velocitus Build 2019 (Guide) - The New Eidolon Destroyer (Warframe Gameplay)

Eidolon hunting can be a bit tricky and the weapons that perform great are not all that many. In addition to the usual snipers, we now can also choose to go for the Velocitus, thanks to the changes made in the Profit-Taker patch.

In order to use the Velocitus in Eidolon Hunts, you will have to install a Gravimag after you install the Orokin Catalyst. The Archgun Deployer can be obtained from doing the Initial Profit-Taker Quest down of Fortuna. Max standing with Solaris United is necessary.

The weapon boasts sky-high base damage but sadly it's magnetic damage. In addition, we also have a high base critical chance of thirty percent with a base critical multi of three points zero. Similarly to the Lanka, each shot can be charged-up and "held" until the optimal release time. The travel speed of the projectile is extremely high, making most shots appear to be hit-scan.

This is not the type of weapon that you take into regular missions but rather when you want a very high amount of damage with a single shot, such as Eidolon Hunts or Doing Profit Taker on Fortuna. The builds are rather simple and straight forward with Chroma being the exception where we renounce damage mods for more elemental damage. This is because of how Vex Armor functions.

I came into this review with high hopes for another Eidolon Terminator and I was not disappointed. The weapon is fully capable of annihilating the giant sentients with relative ease even without a Riven mod. Speaking of which, the Velocitus holds a current riven disposition of three out of five which is the highest out of the current Meta Eidolon Hunting weapons and for the time being it's also the cheapest riven as-well. If you are looking for the ideal Riven stats than I would prioritize Critical Chance, Multishot and Critical Damage above everything else.

Since the weapon functions similarly to the Lanka and essentially fills the same role I decided to pin the two against each other. The results were rather clear. The Velocitus can go toe-to-toe with the Lanka and ever surpass it as long as the sniper specific combo multiplier doesn't come into play. Then again, a one-shot is a one-shot which makes combo multiplier an unnecessary hassle. It's rather difficult to properly compare a primary weapon to an arch-gun since they take different mods but one thing is certain. The Velocitus is great Eidolon Hunting weapon and I fully recommend it.
