Uninfluenced honest opinions about the gaming industry and its current state. Currently we focus on Warframe & other formats like: News, Updates & Game Reviews
The Kulstar is a mastery rank five secondary weapon which fires rockets that detonate upon impact and spawn three little bombs that have no targeting mechanism.
The weapon features a low-ish base critical chance of seventeen percent but with a great critical multiplier of two point three. Status chance is nineteen percent and the weapon features default blast and impact damage.
I have tried several ways to build the Kulstar and the performance was average at best, especially if you take into accounts the several drawbacks that the weapon has but if you factor-in the Riven Disposition of four out of five than you can make this one into a little monster.
This is a weapon for the Tenno that just wants to have a bit of fun with a rocket launcher and is not put-off by the weapons limitations and pitfalls. While it may not be among the top secondary weapons in the game it can certainly offer a bit of entertainment, give it a go.
The Komorex is an amalgam Sniper Rifle, a mix between Corpus and Sentient tech that you can research in your Clan's Energy Lab.
The weapon features a high status chance and decent IPS layout but a low base critical chance of only sixteen percent. You can use two sniper scopes that will provide different bonuses. The first scope level provides stability and two meters of punch-through.The second zoom level ads a three point five-meter area of effect that has a chance to proc viral and does a limited amount of damage. In the second zoom level, your fire-rate is greatly reduced but you do get an additional one hundred percent damage.
The Komorex also features a built-in ammo mutation but has a very long reload time at three seconds.
In terms of how to build the sniper rifle, you have a few options. You can take advantage of the weapons high slash damage and make it into a hybrid slasher through Hunter Munitions plus the weapon's status chance so that way you can double-dip into slash proc sources. A simpler approach would be just to build an elemental combo but considering the area of effect provides a viral proc you can just build gas or corrosive through the sixty sixty mods and basically get the best of both builds.
I am not a fan of this weapon as it lacks heavily in the usability department and the use-case scenario is rather niche just like with most of the unexciting Amalgam additions to the game. That said, the Komorex can pack one serious punch as raw power is not an issue but I simply can't recommend something I don't enjoy using. Subjective Pass.
So we got a bit of a preview for a trailer plus we will be able to get a free Nekros Prime on July 6th at 6 p.m. ET. Don't forget to link your account.
With Tennocon 2019 coming-up soon we're sure to see additional information on Railjack!
With the Gas City Rework, we also got a new puzzle to solve on the Amalthea Spy mission. It can be completed with whatever frame you want but using a cloak frame will make things easier and if you want to completely trivialize the mission go for Ivara with the Infiltrate Augment.

Warframe - I Finally Got Shell Shock! (Live Reaction)
I honestly don't remember how many runs I did for this but at the very minimum over fifty! I'm having a hard time seeing how this would be a reliable plat farm but it is very gratifying to finally see it drop for me!

The Zenith is a Login Reward primary Assault Rifle with two fire modes. A player must first accumulate at least one hundred logins in order to obtain the weapon that features "Infinite Punchthrough"
In Primary fire mode, the Zenith is a standard assault rifle with a very lower critical chance but high-status chance, good fire rate and a mediocre amount of damage.
The weapon comes to life in secondary fire mode where we get access to infinite punch through plus a marker on enemies heads that will make it easier for us the find our targets when we don't have a direct line of sight but keep in mind that some limitations apply.
The Semi fire mode also boasts a much higher critical chance of thirty-five percent and a critical multiplier of two point five which makes it a prime candidate for Hunter Munitions build. Speaking of which the weapon performs rather poorly in primary fire mode but in secondary fire mode, it can melt high-level targets if modded with a critical slash build.
I expected a lot of this weapon and for the most part, it didn't disappoint. My only gripe remains that primary fire mode that has nothing special to it. That said, the weapon can be immensely powerful given its gimmick is very effective and I'd highly encourage anyone to make use out of the secondary fire mode and if at all possible get a critical chance / critical damage riven to further augment the value of the slashes obtained through Hunter Munitions.
Fair warning, this is a login weapon! You won't be able to get it back if you chose to sell it.
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.
Well, this was not what I planned for today but sometimes good plans go up in smoke. So today we will be tackling Mastery Rank test 22 with Inaros!
The test is composed of three survival rounds with different modifiers. There are no real time constraints so your main priority will be to survive the rather significant damage the enemies deal to you. I would high suggest you go with Inaros. Enemies also seem to have a resistance to crowd control and start at level forty but will scale-up in the last round. Gear wheel will not be available so no health or energy packs.
Today we will be having a quick look at what are AMPS, where we can find them and what we should build.
For the longest time the "meta" was X23 (for Eidolon Hunting) but with the introduction of tier seven components that have shifted to X27. That's because the Certus Brace is just flat-out superior to the tier three brace. Keep in mind that the Prism remains highly subjective and you should pick whatever you enjoy playing more. In my case, I enjoy the rapid fire of the tier four!
With the Jovian Concord we also get a new game mode by the name of Disruption. It features similar aspects to defense missions but with a lot of cool new twists plus it unfolds on a new tile-set and the enemies drop new mods.
While for now, I feel that the new mods are bit niche perhaps the will see some use in the upcoming Railjack update that is set to release later this year.
All of this is part of Operation: Hostile Merges and it's a limited time event.
For now, I can confidently say that I'm having a lot of fun with the new additions such as the Wisp Warframe but I'm also a bit concerned about the longevity or replay-value Disruptions offer.
Keep in mind that you will have to complete the Natah Quest in order to get access to the new Disruption Game Mode.
Today we will be exploring Eidolon Hunting using Mirage or Mirage Prime as the main damage dealer through the use of Eclipse.
Eclipse is depended on environmental light but using a self-heat proc we can manipulate this to our advantage. A heat proc on Mirage will guarantee the damage buff for the duration of the proc.
There are many weapons that can deal self-damage among them I would recommend the Javlok or you can simply use Exodia Contagion on a Zaw and make use of the projectile.
*As of Patch 25.0 the Primary Fire of the Javlok no longer deals self-damage, simply use a charged secondary fire instead or even better The Penta or Secura Penta with Napalm Grenades.
After the heat proc you can use a number of weapons to take out Eidolon Synovia or the Eidolon itself and I'm going to be showcasing the Rubico Prime, Tombfinger and Euphona Prime.
Mirage provides a more powerful buff than Chroma's Vex Armor so that means you have a wider weapon choice and for some a Riven Mod is no longer necessary for consistent one-shots.
This way of hunting Eidolons is not as comfortable however and there is a learning curve. After a few runs, you should get the hang of it.
Build a ton much power strength on Mirage and Vitality should provide enough survivability considering we will be relying on the ninety-five percent damage reduction from eclipse. Adjust the Aura slot depending on what weapon you use and build radiation for it as per the usual. Arcane Avenger will work very well for most Eidolon Hunting weapons and they do double stack.
It's the small things that matter friends and I love these Domestik Drones!
Thank You NEOPHYTE_PRIME for the epic gifts!
The Domestik Drone is an autonomous Corpus vacuum cleaner that appears in Corpus Gas City tiles. They are able to drop the Repair Kit Mod occasionally.
Players can buy Domestik Drones as Orbiter Decoration for Platinum64100 in the Market. It is currently the only decoration that is mobile, capable of randomly wandering the inside of the Orbiter.
The Jovian Concord update introduced a couple of new sentient weapons, among which the Cyanex, a mastery rank eight secondary weapon. The main trick of the weapon are the homing projectiles that deals gas damage and will cause a toxin proc on targets. The Cyanex is also equipped with an alternative fire which unloads the magazine rapidly and deals primarily slash damage.
While the secondary fire mode was a bit of a disappointment to me the primary fire mod is awesome and the weapon does fantastically well with a Gas build or a Corrosive build.
As of Hotfix 25.0.4 The Cyanex no longer deals self-damage.
The main issue with the weapon is the abysmal critical stats that keep the weapon in check and also limits build options.
Overall this is a great weapon especially if you find yourself having trouble aiming or just want to slack a bit. That said, I don't see what would have been the harm in the weapon having a modest critical chance like fifteen percent as there is only so much status can do.
Not a bad weapon, take it into consideration but it's not a must-have.
The highest reward from the Hostile Merges event is the Glaxion Vandal which improves on the original in almost every single way.
Better base critical chance, status chance, reload speed, damage, reload speed and magazine capacity. If that was not enough we also get a small area of effect at the end of the beam. The range seems to be three meters but its full functionality eludes me and the damage it can deal seems inconsistent, especially for targets directly behind the initial one.
Other than the regular "mandatory" mods I would highly encourage the use of fire-rate with something like Vile Acceleration or Primed Shred that has the additional benefit of punch-through. This is because the magazine supports sustained high fire-rates without the worry of ammunition as the ammo capacity was also increased.
Overall the Galxion Vandal is an outstanding weapon, fully capable of shredding through high-level targets and while it falls just a bit short of the titans it does have a riven disposition of five out five. I would highly recommend this primary to just about anyone. Enjoy!
With the addition of Wisp, we also got a cool new primary weapon that seems to be a bit of a hybrid between an automatic rifle and a shotgun.
The weapon takes rifle modes but in Primary fire mod, it fires projectiles similar to the Arca Plasmor or Catchmoon with three meters worth of body punch-through. In secondary fire mode, it's your usual assault rifle affair.
The Fulmin also present great critical stats for both of the fire mods and default electricity damage which can be exploited to easily achieve a combo such as corrosive damage.
As expected, the weapon performs best with a critical slash build through the use of Hunter Munitions. You can either force the critical stats with Argon Scope and Bladed Rounds or you can try a viral approach. You can even comfortably go for a bleed build with corrosive since you will only need a single mod to get the combo and the slashes are coming from HM so proc priority is not a concern.
I love weapon design such as this, a design where both of the fire mods are viable and apply in different situations. The Fulmin packs enough power to handles mostly any content Warframe has to offer and I highly recommend the weapon. Especially if you are able to get your hands on a Riven. The weapon is competitive even without one thou.
The Jovian Concord also brings a Boss Fight that is rather simple and straight forward providing little in terms of challenge. There are some Amalgam mods to look forward to but they are niche, to say the least.
The Ropalolyst Eidolon drops all the necessary parts or blueprints to make the Wisp Warframe.
It took roughly six or seven runs to get all the components at seven minutes each so it wasn't a difficult grind. Happy Farming!
Today I have the pleasure of taking a look at the Miter, a Mastery Rank six Primary saw blade launcher. The weapon can be farmed from the dual boss team Lech Kril and Captain Vor on Exta. The farm itself is not to bad and I managed to get a full set within half a day. Your mileage may vary.
The weapon can be built in a number of different ways but I would recommend a Viral-Slash build through the use of the sixty sixty mods as this is the build that gave me the best results.
The Miter also posses it's own augment called Neutralizing Justice and while the plus one justice is always appreciated I feel that the nullifier field part is a bit underwhelming as these bubbles can be popped in a number of different ways and I don't think we need a special augment focused on that. How's about a heavy increase on the critical chance instead? Perhaps a base increase.
Another thing to note is that the shots need to be charged in order to get the full power of the weapon so some fire rate is recommended with either Speed Trigger or Vile Acceleration.
Overall I find the Miter to be a fun weapon and I'm happy I farmed it again. While the weapon is not among the top weapons in Warframe it definitely gets the job done and it possesses a Riven Mod Disposition of five out of five which means very powerful rivens. At the very least the Miter provides some color to the Rifle landscape.
Today we'll be taking a look at how to build the Akzani and the guide takes my trademark new player friendly approach. In addition to the weapon build, we will also talk about status chance and status procs, priorities, armor and vulnerabilities, the works!
The Akzani is a new player weapon coming to us at Master Rank four. It sports a high fire-rate but low damage, critical chance and status chance. It's considered a bullet sprayer and when built correctly it can offer decent results. The biggest advantage that the weapon has is the riven disposition of five out of five which means we're able to get crazy amounts of stats on them. With the optimal riven even a weapon such as the Akzani can be built into a competitive weapon.
In all honesty, the weapon will not be competing for any top spots in the secondary section as it pales in comparison to other more established weapons at higher mastery ranks. That said, it doesn't mean that you can't make something out of it if you love the weapon.
