Uninfluenced honest opinions about the gaming industry and its current state. Currently we focus on Warframe & other formats like: News, Updates & Game Reviews
In Warframe we are treated to all sorts of weapons. Some stronger, some weaker and the Seer would definitively qualify for the second category. That said, it doesn't mean that with a lot of resources and some time you can't make this weapon into something half-decent. For the most part it should be treated as a mastery fodder weapon as there are a lot of superior secondary weapons that you can sink your resources into.
Critical chance and multiplier are abysmal, the status chance is decent at thirteen percent and the base damage is not that bad but it's an equal spread between Impact, Puncture, and Slash. You can try to make it this weapon into a status slasher but the results are discouraging the say the least.
So who is this gun for? I'd say for veteran players of Warframe that seek a challenge but that's pretty much it. Solid pass on this one unless you're simply curious.
Tennocon 2019 revealed a lot of goodies that will be released sometime in the future but for now, we get to enjoy a new series of Nightwave called The Emissary and it features a lot of new interesting rewards including some intriguing cosmetics and weapon augments:
What can I say, my friends? You asked for a Kraken build and here it is. The weapon objectively speaking is weak and should only be treated as either a meme or a challenge.
If you're new-er to the game than look somewhere else and give the Atomos a spin, it will be more than worth it.
That said, any weapon can be made to deal damage and if you factor-in every power-up at our disposal than even the Kraken can take out higher level targets. This only highlights the flexibility we enjoy in Warframe.
It looks like Atlas might not be the next prime frame as some leaks surfaced depicting Wukong Prime, Zhuge Prime, and the Ninkondi Prime!
I would bear in mind that this is not 100% confirmed by DE but Rebecca did hint a wukong being the next prime frame during an interview.
As with all leaks, I would take it with a pound of salt as we should get the official confirmation by Tennocon 2019.
Warframe is a free-to-play cooperative third-person shooter video game developed and published by Digital Extremes. Originally released for PC Microsoft Windows in March 2013, it was later ported to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
The Spectra was never really a sought-after weapon but with the introduction of the Vandal variant, we see a radical change in performance as the weapon packs a much greater wallop! We're looking at increased damage, critical chance and status chance, magazine size, max ammo capacity, and faster reload speed.
You can build the Spectra Vandal in a number of different ways. You can go for a standard elemental approach or you can take advantage of the weapon's high slash damage and of the fact that it only has two elements by default which means triggering slash will be less difficult.
You can also make use out of the Sequence Burn augment for a huge range increase of twenty meters plus the sequence syndicate effect.
Everything considered the Spectra Vandal is a huge improvement over the original and let's not forget that it comes with a Riven disposition of five out five. This one is an easy recommendation, Enjoy!
Today we will be diving deeper into the Drakgoon, a mastery rank five shotgun. I will be highlighting a lot of the modding principles in Warframe as this is meant to be a guide for new-er players.
The weapon shoots bouncy balls that will travel for two seconds before disappearing and they also lose some speed on a ricochet. Fully charging a shot will grant additional damage, status chance, and accuracy.
The Drakgoon sports a base status chance of twenty-three percent so it can reach the magical one hundred through the use of the four sixty-sixty mods and Motus Setup or a Riven mod. Sadly Nano-Applicator does not provide enough. The Critical chance of the weapon is very low at seven point five percent so if we want the weapon to crit we will have to rely on bonus additive effects such as Arcane Avenger, Kavat buff, Harrow's buff, etc.
After all the tests and possible builds, the Drakgoon will be the most efficient with a status setup. Problem is the requirement of a Riven Mod with at least ninety-five percent status chance but ideally one hundred and fifty-five so we can bypass not only Motus Setup but one of the sixty-sixty mods and have better control over our proc priority.
The Drakgoon may not be one of the most powerful shotguns in the game but with the right build and buffs, it can get to crazy levels of damage. If you're just-starting-out in Warframe I would save my resources for other weapons and return to this one when you have everything you need to build it right. There are plenty of other more powerful shotguns in the game that don't require such niche setups but if you love the weapon there are ways to get it to perform.
Among the void trader's inventory, we find a lot of goodies such as some of the best weapons in Warframe but on the other side of the popularity spectrum we see the Prisma Angstrum. Just because a weapon is not very popular doesn't mean it cant pack a punch and this secondary weapon can send enemies flying but it does have a series of disadvantages as well.
We're looking at a high critical multi of two point two but a low base critical chance of only eighteen percent. The status chance is a bit in the air on this one as it will be determined by how many rockets you chose to fire as in, how much you decide to charge the weapon.
One of the drawbacks of the weapon is the accuracy of the rockets especially in combination with multishot and a full charge. This makes going for the feet mandatory as going for head-shots can result in most of the missiles completely missing the target.
I must admit that I did enjoy my time with the weapon as blowing enemies-up with these mini-missiles can be subjective good fun but the usability quirks keep it from being an overall good experience. While the Prisma Angstrum can deal a serious amount of damage it's definitely not among the top secondary weapons and in my honest opinion, you can skip this one entirely.
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.
