Hek Build 2024 (Guide) - Mega New Player Modding Tutorial (Warframe Gameplay HDR)

This guide is aimed at new players looking to learn how Warframe works. Several topics will be tackled such as mechanics, modding, synergies, functionality, multipliers etc. The goal is to teach newer players the aspects of weapon modding (and not only) that the game either doesn't explain or does a poor job at it. To this effect we will go step by step in understanding how the weapon functions, what the stat screen sections mean, what effects do mods have, from physical, to elemental, to multipliers, etc. We will also be touching on where/how to farm key mods that are "meta" or necessary in a lot of builds. You will learn the fundamentals in how to mod any weapon. Not just the Hek, as the point is for you to understand how to make your own builds for any ranged weapon. If a specific topic is to long to incorporate in this guide you will find direct links to those guides tackled separately. As for the Hek, new player builds will be showcased as-well as an endgame setup that can take out high level Steel Path targets. While the Hek is capable of Steel Path it's not exactly the ideal endgame weapon. Where it shines is in early Mastery Ranks as it's a great weapon for starting players with a MR Lockout of only 5 and can be easily obtained from the market for 25.000 credits. To this, a tenno must take into account the materials needed to craft, the cost of a catalyst and a couple of forma. If possible, the Kuva Hek is a much more powerful weapon that can be obtained at lower mastery ranks but you will need to be carried through it. If you have friends that can help out, go for it. The modding principles outlined in this guide apply to it as-well as they apply to the vast majority of Warframe weapons.
