Acrid Build 2018 (Guide) - The Retired Legend (Warframe Gameplay)

I heard many stories of how the Acrid was the best weapon in the game and how it could tear down everything and then as it with most overpowered weapons it got nerfed into the ground.
Having heard this I got curious to see if this old dog could be salvaged and while it many not be strong, I wouldn't call it garbage either.
The weapon doesn't have any outstanding stats except the fact that we get a guaranteed toxin proc with each landed shot in addition to whatever other statuses we build on the weapon which will proc through the weapons status chance (Ten percent by default)



The Acrid may have been great once but sadly that is not the case today. Only real use I see for the weapon now is the "Paint-Ball Gun" feel and perhaps the nostalgia, after all it's not like we have to use the "best gun" in Warframe.

Fusilai Build 2018 (Guide) - Gara's Silent Touch (Warframe Gameplay)

So far throwing weapons have left me a bit unimpressed. But I am determined to find one that I enjoy using and so I gave the Fusilai a try. The weapon does carry a bit of a punch and presents decent critical stats considering it's only Master Rank Seven.
After some testing I found the best approach is the use the weapon's innate high slash in combination with the base twenty-nine percent status chance with a viral elemental combo. While the Fusilai doesn't fire a lot of projectiles with just two sixty mods we can reach a very good status chance per projectile.

The weapon also features an alternative fire, releasing three glass daggers at once, I found this firing mode to be overall inefficient and clunky but it does have a much higher status chance at the cost of critical chance.

Overall the Fusilai can pack on serious punch (for a throwing weapon) but the quest for "my" throwing weapon still continues.

Arbitration Missions - The New Endo Farm (Warframe Gameplay)

Arbitration Missions - The New Endo Farm (Warframe Gameplay)

We got brand new game mode and with it a much more reliable way of farming Endo. That's not all, we also got a few new mods and you can check the drop tables over on the Wiki.

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Arbitrations

I'm going to be running through my thoughts on the new game mode but long story short I like and I'm happy we get a better Endo farm. It could be better with some special rewards to signify achievements and I would also like to see more flexibility from the random buffs but even so the game mode is solid. Remember that you will have to complete the star chart before gaining access to Arbitration missions.

Secura Penta Build 2018 (Guide) - Fire in the Hole (Warframe Gameplay)

I have not played with a lot of grenade launchers in Warframe simply because they are few and far between, but the Secura Penta caught my attention with its unique Tether Grenades mod.

I tried everything I could think of to get the weapon to an "endgame" state and the only thing that kinda did the trick is guaranteeing its critical chance through the use of Point Strike in combination with a riven or Argon Scope. Hunter Munitions and Viral damage offered poor results because of the low amount of hits the weapon can apply and how slow the process is overall. Status base build fell flat for mostly the reason and the only somewhat impressive approach was through the biggest amount of raw damage in combination with critical chance and critical damage.
The star of the show without a doubt is the Penta only mod called Tether Grenades which makes the weapon a lot more reliable and a lot more fun to use. If you plan on playing with the weapon I would highly suggest you give this mod a try.



Overall the Secura Penta is not a bad weapon and it can pack a serious wallop but it's being kept on a tight leash by the five maximum active grenade cap. There is also something to be said about the entertainment value, who doesn't like to send enemies flying ? Just keep in mind that sometimes you will also send yourself flying.
