The Rubico Prime improves on the original in almost every single aspect. We get a higher critical chance of thirty eight percent, better reload speed and better fire rate, also a four percent damage increase. Now, that might not sound like a lot but considering the Rubico was already an awesome weapon the buffs make a bit of a difference. Perhaps the most important aspect is that you can get a ninety five percent critical chance just with point strike alone.
I have tested the weapon in various situations since its release but the most important one of all would be Eidolon Hunts since this is currently the primary use for Sniper Rifles. The Rubico Prime performs admirably well and is fully capable of tearing through an Eidolon in matter of seconds (give the appropriate setup) so it gets my seal of approval. It would have been hard for me not to like the weapon considering how much I enjoyed the original.
The Rubico Prime also performs very well in ordinary day to day mission, able to one or two shot high level enemies. The only issue is that it's a sniper so it will be a slow clear in comparison to other more popular AoE weapons.
Just like the Standard version before it, The Rubico Prime is fantastic primary weapon and I highly recommend it. The only downside I see is the high price on riven mods but then again we can't have our cake and eat it to.
Going into the Argonak I was not expecting much but the weapon can prove competitive when built correctly. Sadly for more a corrosive based build doesn't work as-well as I would have hoped and a critical build through Hunter Munitions outdoes it.
The gimmick of the weapon is its laser sight that will outline enemies in the weapon's energy color, making them a lot more visible. This can be very useful during dense fog missions or during nighttime on Cetus.
With all of this and the Argonak is still not a very popular weapon yet still has a riven disposition of three out of five. There are many awesome assault rifles in the game that compete with the Argonak which leads to this weapon being a bit overlooked. It's not a weak weapon by any stretch but it's not particularly powerful either.
Getting your first Prime Weapon can be a very special experience. I remember getting the Lex Prime together with the Braton Prime and thinking ... "OH MY GOD, I have such an amazing setup now! I'm gonna be able to tear through everything!" ... and while I wasn't able to tear through everything, the Lex Prime did not disappoint.
Hey guys, hello and welcome back. As always my name is Leyzar and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 8 Secondary Weapon - The Lex Prime. I'm gonna be covering a cheap
build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course we also have a suited up setup with more expensive mods. That being said though, please keep in mind that my builds and guides follow a "New Player Friendly" approach, simply because there's a lot of info here, and I want anybody watching to understand how the weapon functions, and how it should be built, so if you're a veteran of the game and already know this stuff, you can skip ahead, or have a bit of patience.
And with that out of the way, let's jump into the Lex Prime. Let's begin by having a look at how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and for that I'm simply gonna be taking a couple of free shots. The Lex Prime is a pinpoint-accurate weapon. A lot of players prefer it simply because of this high accuracy, and it packs one hell of a punch as well, but as you can see (vid), the recoil is quite large on this one, so you gotta wait for it to stabilize, in order to hit the exact same point (of course this is with mod not included). Other than that you have eight shots in a clip, and you also get about two seconds worth of reload, and that's pretty much it.
Let's jump into stats, to see precisely what we're dealing with.
Mod capacity is gonna be 60 out of 60. If your Prime Lex has 30 out of 30 then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst.(check the video for more info). My weapon has been formatted a total of four times, but for the weapon build I'm recommending you guys, 3 forma is more than sufficient. The accuracy of the Lex Prime is 16.0. Now, for a pistol this is pretty standard, however the Lex Prime once again is known for its fabled accuracy. Back then however, there wasn't an Arca Scisco, so if you're interested in a super accurate secondary weapon, check out the Arca Scisco. (build can be found here: https://leyzargamingviews.blogspot.com/2018/08/arca-scisco-build-2018-guide-warframe.html)
Please check the link below to watch the full build / guide for the Lex Prime.
The weapon doesn't offer a lot of build diversity, and the build its pretty straight forward. The only real option we have is if we go for the ninety mods, or the dual stat mods, and of course the option slot, usually I gravitate towards Steady Hands just to make the weapon a bit more usable.
The Lex Prime packs one serious punch, but it does suffer from usability issues. High recoil, small magazine size, lengthy reload time and a riven disposition of only one out of five.
Objectively speaking, the weapon is good, and I would recommend it for players around mastery rank eight, but higher up the ladder you will find more powerful secondary weapons.
Chroma Prime got released together with the Gram and Rubico Prime and outside of how gorgeous they look I wanted to see exactly what this combo was capable of doing when it comes to an Eidolon Hunt.
Hey guys, hello and welcome back! As always, my name is Leyzar and today we're going on a hunt for Eidolon with Chroma Prime and of course, the Rubico Prime! They came out a couple of hours ago, and of course I fully built both of them, so as you can see we will try this one .... One...two shots....three shots from the Rubico Prime to take out one of the joints of the Eidolon.
As you can see (video) I do have the 957 % buff from Chroma, and that's it ... I'm not running any Madurai Void Strike or anything like that, I just want to run Chroma together with the Rubico Prime so you can see exactly what this combo is capable of.
Now I also have a Riven ... yes, it's quite a nice Riven and I will showcase the Build at the end of the video, but first let's fight the Eidolon.
The results where pretty much what I expected with the Rubico Prime being a significant increase over the standard version. It's nothing huge or game changing but it is a worthwhile build that will require you to forma three times in case you don't have a riven, four if you do. If you don't have a riven then you can replace it with Wildfire as the extra heat will get added to the radiation damage and the extra magazine capacity will come-in useful with rapid-firing the Sniper.

With the arrival of the Plague Star event I decided to give the Atlas Warframe a try and I was pleasantly surprised of the gameplay and effectiveness of this frame. After a fair bit of testing and research I understood how he works and what effects him, it really depends on what exactly you want from the Warframe. My option is more of a balance setup that ca make use of all his abilities but primary focus remains on punches. The Build is power hungry but that can be fixed with Arcane Energize R3 or if you don't have that one look towards Hunter Adrenaline or Rage.
Overall I enjoy the Plague Star event and I believe that Atlas is a bit overlooked, give him a go as he is very strong and can be tons of fun!
If you want to talk about Crossbows in Warframe then there are two contenders, a crit version and a status version. The Zhuge being the latter of the two.
The weapon posses the highest base damage of all fully automatic weapons and it also boasts a huge base status chance of thirty five percent and a critical chance of twenty percent. It was clear from the get go that this weapon would be able to shred targets.
The build options are rather straight forward. You can go for an elemental setup with something like Corrosive damage or you can take the Hunter Munitions approach and try to get the weapon to a solid critical chance. Both builds performed admirably well but my vote goes to the elemental setup as I'm tired of Hunter Munitions on everything. The cheapest build would be through HM and a viral elemental combo using the ninety mods and it does provide good results.
The Zhuge is a strong weapon, one capable of taking-on high level enemies regardless of faction but it has some rather stiff competition from the Attica. As always, the choice is yours.
When the first part for the Brakk dropped for me I got super excited, thinking that I got a hold of something really special, and of course I asked my friends: "Hey man, what is this all about?". They explained that I'm gonna need all of these parts that only drop from the Grustrag Three, and I thought ... "Oh my god I'm gonna get this legendary weapon!" Was it worth the wait? Well ... we're about to find out!
Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this secondary weapon - The Brakk. As per usual, we're gonna be covering a standard build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course, we also have the classic endgame set up with a Riven.
Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Brakk only has 30 out of 30 then jump into actions and plug in an or Orokin Catalyst. The Orokin Catalyst can be found from alerts, invasions, or you can get it from the daily sortie, or you have the option of paying 20 Plat for it.
My weapon has been format a total of 5 times but this was done for the purpose of testing. For the weapon build I'm gonna be recommending you guys, 2-3 forma should do it.
First of all we are checking how the weapon behaves without any mods equipped. (video) and take a look at the stats, following with recommended mods and the actual builds.
Please check the link below to view the full Build / Guide Video:
The weapon has a lot critical chance and low base status chance and since it's a shotgun it makes it very hard to get a real benefit from Status or Crit and sadly in Warframe that usually spells a weak weapon with rather limited build options.
I cannot call the Brakk an endgame weapon and considering the process of obtaining the weapon I believe it deserves either a buff or an easier way to acquire it. As it stands now The Brakk is little more then mastery fodder.
