Second Time Legendary Core - Live Reaction (Warframe Gameplay)

What can I say ... we got lucky again! Some players go through Warframe never seeing a Legendary Core drop for Sortie, let alone to get two so I did hit the jackpot!

Latron Wraith Build 2019 (Guide) - The Red Donkey (Warframe Gameplay)

Testing the Latron Wraith felt like using Windows 98 again. It can be good, sure but it has so many usability issues. The recoil kicks like a mule, the magazine size is small the reload is two point for seconds.

As far as the build options are concerned, I would recommend focusing on the Bleed Build through Hunter munitions since this is the build that offered the best results in testing. If you put Point Strike and Argon Scope together than the weapon achieves one hundred percent critical chance which means that all of the bullets will have the thirty percent chance from Hunter Munitions. The Latron Wraith also sports a very good critical multiplier at two point eight default which further helps a critical base build.
It's also worth keeping in mind that the Wraith has the highest critical chance out of the entire Latron family at twenty six percent.




The weapon can be fairly powerful for a Mastery Rank Seven weapon but it's simply uncomfortable to use. If you are the "sharpshooter" type then you might have a more enjoyable experience with the Latron Wraith but for my own to cents I'd give this one a pass.

Akstiletto Prime VS Prisma Twin Gremlins (Comparison) - Usability Meets Power (Warframe Gameplay)

We are looking at two of the most powerful secondary weapons in the game and either will yield good results in most circumstances. While I'd personally recommend you get both there are some differences between the weapons that could make one be the better build for you.

The biggest difference would the fact that the Prisma Twin Gremlins are projectile based so they will be more difficult to aim than the Akstiletto Prime which is hit-scan.
Critical chance weights in the favor of the twins and the status chance will be superior on the primes. It should also be mentioned that because of the increased fire rate and magazine size ammo can be an issue on the twins so you might have to use Carrier with ammo case.

Test results between the two weapons were similar but overall I find the Twins to be the more powerful weapon but they fall short of the Stilettos in terms of usability. Test were done using a corrosive build and a slash based build with Primed mods included.
Riven disposition also plays a potent role as the disposition is five out of five for the twins and only one out of five for the primes.

Overall it really comes down to the user but you will not be disappointed by either of these outstanding secondary weapons. I'd recommend you build both as they are more than worth it.

Warframe (Fortuna) - Are Macros Ok ? (Rapid Fire, Slide Attack)

I hope this serves to clarify the allowance in Macros in Warframe as it is a bit of a grey area.
Mashing one button fast or slapping two commands together for the ease of use seems to be just fine but if you want to be one hundred percent sure then you can do what I did. Take a screenshot of the macro and launch a support ticket to Digital Extremes and ask them about it (it only takes a minute or two to make a ticket)
Use only legitimate gaming software from known vendors as obscure software can cause you trouble.

Vaykor Marelok Build 2018 (Guide) - Steel Meridian's Pride (Warframe Gameplay)

There are so many secondary options in Warframe it can be hard to pick a favorite. Among the one that stand out is the Vaykor Marelok. The weapon deals a truck of damage and has a fantastic status chance of thirty five percent but sports a lower critical multiplier of only one point five. The list of drawbacks continue with the rough recoil, low riven disposition and an absurd amount of impact damage. Even with all of these issues the weapon the Vaykor Marelok can pack one hell of a punch when build correctly.
You can go for a straight elemental build or you can attempt a slash build through the use of Maim, of course a negative impact riven would do wonders for the weapon. The idea behind it is to get the impact out of the running for procs.



Overall the Vaykor Marelok is a very strong secondary weapon but has some usability issues as-well, some of these can be easily addressed with mods but others are bit more difficult to get around.

Plinx Build 2019 (Guide) - The Critical Limitation (Warframe Gameplay)

When I first tried-out the Plinx it felt a bit underwhelming but the more I played with it the more I understood what kind of player would enjoy such a secondary weapon.

It comes to us at a lower Mastery Rank Requirement of only six and it features abysmal status chance but a very high critical chance of thirty two percent with a fantastic critical multiplier of three point zero. The weapon also boasts a very good accuracy rating and in combination with its critical style it will benefit the "sharpshooter" type of player.
Given the base stats on the weapon the Build itself becomes very simple as I would encourage a heavy emphasis on critical chance and critical damage when prioritizing what stats to look for a in a riven mod.


The test results were decent at best and I would not call the Plinx an endgame weapon but for the low mastery rank it does a good enough job until you manage to get your hands on something with a bit more power.

Exergis Build 2019 (Guide) - The Runner-Up (Warframe Gameplay)

With the Exergis I finally saw the opportunity to dethrone the Legendary Tigris and while the weapon did perform very well it was still second best.
The shotgun possess a very high status chance of thirty six percent which means we can build to the magical one hundred percent before multishot effects by using only three sixty sixty mods. The downside being that the critical chance is very low and only eight percent and the critical multiplier is the lowest of all primary weapons standing at one point four. While the default radiation damage is large the higher proc value is slash which means it's a prime candidate for a viral setup.
The biggest downside to the weapon would be the magazine of only one which means reloading after every shot but at least the default reload speed is quick at one point six second which in turn can be augmented with Chilling Reload or Seeking Fury to add even more punch through to the default zero point five.
Another advantage of the Exergis would be the high accuracy and good damage fall-off for a shotgun but on the other hand we are looking at a low default pellet count of only three.


Overall this is a strong shotgun for players around Mastery Rank eight and I enjoyed using the weapon as it looks and sounds fantastic. That said, later down the line you will be able to build a more powerful shotgun that plays mostly the same as the Exergis.

Akjagara Prime Build 2019 (Guide) - The Bleeding Edge (Warframe Gameplay)

Testing and building the Akjagara Prime was a complete blast and I loved every minute of it. Being honest, I never payed that much attention to the regular version of the Akjagara but this weapon is simply amazing!
It can be build a few different ways being viable with a straight elemental build but I feel the weapon shines a bit more with a viral setup to better leverage the high amount of default slash on the weapon, which also means that we don't need to use maim in order to manipulate the status procs and thus freeing up a mod slot.
The Akjagara Prime received a massive upgrade from the regular version. Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, Status Chance, Damage, Magazine Size, Accuracy, Reload speed, all received better values with the minor exception of fire rate which can be patched with Lethal Torrent.
What puts this secondary over the top is sky high riven disposition of five out of five in an episode that looks very similar to the Tiberon Prime release we got to enjoy a while back.


There's really not much more to say other than get and enjoy this absolute powerhouse of a weapon! Highly Recommend!

Harpak Build 2018 (Guide) - The Whale Gun (Warframe Gameplay)

There are some weapons that are left forgotten and dusty somewhere in our arsenal, the Harpak is one such weapon. Featuring two fire modes and mediocre stats, the Harpak is a burst rifle with a Harpoon alt fire that can serve to crowd control important targets.
While the critical chance of twenty percent may not be stellar the critical multiplier of two point three is very nice so bonus critical additive after effect such as Arcane Avenger or Kavat buff will work very well for the weapon.
The weapon works fairly well with an elemental base build and a slash build through Hunter Munitions provided you can get the critical chance to a decent level. Adding Point Strike and Argon Scope to the weapon will result in a seventy seven percent critical chance and with Arcane avenger we can go to one hundred and seven percent. If we choose to go for a critical approach then Vital sense and Bladed rounds will bring the critical multi to about sever point eight which is more than respectable.
While I'm subjectively not a fan of Hunter Munitions base builds there is no denying that the Harpak functions a bit better with a build such as this.




To wrap everything up, the Harpak is a solid primary weapon in a sea of "solid" weapons which is probably the reason it doesn't get that much attention. It's not bad, it's not fantastic either but you do get a riven disposition of five out of five that can push the weapon out of the mediocrity pool.

Nagantaka Build 2018 (Guide) - Blood Queen's Crossbow (Warframe Gameplay)

Nagantaka Build 2018 (Guide) - Blood Queen's Crossbow (Warframe Gameplay)
When I first saw that Garuda will come with a Crossbow, The Nagantaka I was super excited as I love bows and x-bows!
After a fair bit of testing it quickly became obvious that this weapon wants to slash sporting a huge amount of slash and very high base status chance of thirty nine percent. The rest was mostly obvious with the sixty-sixty mods forming viral damage and further increasing that status chance so we get more slashes on our targets.
The results is a weapon that hits and slashes like a truck but lacks in the usability department. The projectile travel time is a bit lower then I would have liked it to be and there is also a slight arching to deal with as-well.


Most of the times I found myself using the burst fire which felt a lot more satisfying and you also get the benefit of a faster reload as-well.
All in all considered the Nagantaka is an outstanding slasher fully capable of destroying targets through bleeds but it asks a bit of the player as-well. Aiming aside, you will have to juggle between Semi and Burst fire modes depending on the situation but to me that constant shift between the two is a lot of fun and can be very rewarding. Recommend.

Akvasto Prime (Build) - The Double Six Shooters (Warframe Gameplay)

Akvasto Prime (Build) - The Double Six Shooters (Warframe Gameplay)
Warframe fans have been asking for the Akvasto Prime for a while not but I'm not sure if this is exactly what they wished for. The Akvasto Prime is a minor iteration on the Vasto Prime and I would call it a side-grade at best rather than an upgrade.
The weapon sports the same critical chance, critical multiplier, status chance and exact same damage values and layout so the build will be mostly similar as with the Vasto Prime with one major exception, Recoil. Not only did the magazine size increase to double but it feels like the recoil is doubled as-well making that increased fire rate hardly usable unless we sacrifice a mod slot for Steady Hands which will make the weapon a lot more manageable.


To make a long story short, the Akvasto Prime is a side-grade from the Vasto Prime with a larger magazine, better fire rate but also increased recoil and reload time. Builds will be the same, stat priority will be the same and overall it's mostly the same weapon. A subjective added benefit would be the cool factor of dual wielding guns, whatever floats your boat.

Battacor Build 2018 (Guide) - Sentient Power Harvested (Warfame Gameplay)

Battacor Build 2018 (Guide) - Sentient Power Harvested (Warfame Gameplay)
With Fortuna we get access to a batch of new weapons, among them The Battacor, a mastery rank ten primary weapon with a unique automatic burst trigger.
The weapon features very high critical chance for both auto-burst and charge-shot fire modes and high base critical multipliers. The status chance is decent for primary mode at eighteen percent but very low for charge shot at eight percent. The charge shot deals a truck worth of damage and all of it being pure radiation, while the primary fire has its damage split between magnetic and puncture damage.





The Battacor performed very well with both an elemental build and a critical slash build based on Hunter Munitions but overall I feel the slash build works a bit better.
While the secondary fire mode looks like a beam weapon it functions like any other projectile or hit-scan weapon so we can get multiple projectiles fired through the use of multishot but negative accuracy effects such as Heavy Caliber have a rather large impact on the usability of the weapon.
The biggest impact outside of critical chance / damage was fire rate with Vile Acceleration or Speed Trigger, which will allow us to get faster kills and thus more charge shots.

The two major negatives would be the low base fire rate and it being a projectile based weapon which can make it a bit more difficult to land precise shots but the projectile travel speed is not bad at all.

Overall the Battacor is a welcomed addition to the weapon roster sporting a new trigger, interesting charge mechanic and a truck worth of damage. Highly Recommend.

Sonicor Build 2018 (Guide) - New Player Modding Tutorial (Warframe Gameplay)

Sonicor Build 2018 (Guide) - New Player Modding Tutorial (Warframe Gameplay)

Among the weapons who are very friendly towards new players we find the Sonicor and I thought this would be another great opportunity to do a basic weapon modding guide while tackling the Sonicor.
Weapon mechanics are covered but a larger emphasis is put on general weapon modding, status chance, status procs, resistances, vulnerabilities, the works.
As for the Sonicor itself it's an outstanding crowd control secondary weapon that will come in very useful in may situations but falls off when it comes to the damage department. While the weapon is capable of taking out easier targets such as the Corpus or Infested, it struggles with the heavily armored targets of the Grineer faction.

The Sonicor is a weapon that I highly recommend to any player starting-out in Warframe and even latter in the game the crowd control aspects don't lose their value.

Buzlok Build 2018 (Guide) - Regular & Eidolon Hunt Builds (Warframe Gameplay)


I have avoided the Buzlok for a while now but today it finally gets its turn. The weapon performed very well in all tests across the board including Eidolon Hunting which left me surprised. I had heard tales of the Buzlok's capabilities and now I get to enjoy them myself!
The weapon boasts a great critical multiplier of two point five and a decent critical chance of twenty three percent but it also receives a hefty fifty percent critical chance increase (bonus additive after like Arcane Avenger) if we use the homing beacon functionality. Couple that with a solid base status chance of twenty one percent and the Riven disposition of five out of five we got all the makings of a great weapon.



I have tested the weapon with elemental builds, slash builds through Hunter Munitions and I also put it up against Eidolon targets using 957 Chroma. In every way the Buzlok did great but the weapon does have some drawbacks. It's projectile based and in ordinary missions you don't really have the time to first use your beacon then take-out the target. This feature becomes a lot more useful in Eidolon hunts where you can get the prep time before the shields drop. While the Buzlok can successfully hunt Eidolons it can't stand against our sniper rifles (in terms of damage) but it can provide a helping hand to those who have difficulty aiming.

Overall the Buzlok is everything I hoped it would be and I'll gladly recommend this weapon to just about anyone.

Paris Prime Build 2018 (Guide) - Noob Bow No More (Warframe Gameplay)

Around Mastery Rank Ten I didn't know much about mechanics, critical chance, elemental damage, I was mostly just cruising through the game and having a wonderful time (How I miss those days)
The Paris Prime came and went for me like a breeze as I was enjoying my time with shotguns to much to drop them.

The weapon features a very high critical chance of forty five percent and a decent critical multiplier of two point zero. Status chance is decent as-well at twenty percent and base damage is heavily weighted into puncture damage with slash not being able to catch-up even with Fanged Fusillade.


Build wise it's a rather simple affair, the weapon performing very well with a Hunter Munitions Critical Chance build and under-performing with elemental builds. Viral would be a good match for such a build but even with the dual stat mods the consistency of Viral Procs leave a lot to be desired. Argon Scope and Bladed Rounds would make a much better pair if they are available to you.

Overall the Paris Prime is a powerful weapon with some stiff competition and the same drawbacks that plague most bows in the game. Recommend.
