Some weapons got buffed, some got nerfed and sentinel weapons will be removed from the riven drop chance pool so I would get one for each before the prices get to high.
I have always had a weak spot when it came to the Gorgons and while the Wraith Gorgon is not my favorite in the series it can still pack a punch.
The weapon features a low base critical chance of fifteen percent with a critical multiplier of one point nine but a good status chance of twenty one percent. Couple this with the high fire rate and ninety magazine capacity and we get a weapon that can apply tons of status effects to targets.
The Build is pretty straight forward with High Voltage being the only potential pricey mod but that can be replaced with Stormbringer in case you don't have the time or the plat.
I also tested various mod combinations to see how much I can get out of Hunter Munitions but at the end of the day a elemental setup such as corrosive will yield betters results.
One of the pluses to the Gorgon Wraith is the riven disposition of four out of five which means that you could potentially remove all the impact the weapon has and that would make it a lot more powerful. Riven mods are optional from my point of view but if you want to get the best damage out of a weapon look into damage / multishot rivens and if you can get minus impact that would be epic!
Overall the Gorgon Wraith is a good primary weapon fully capable of annihilating any target but it pales in comparison to other higher MR assault rifles such as the Tiberon Prime or the Supra Vandal or its big brother the Prisma Gorgon.
My quest for a secondary throwing weapon has come to a close with the Spira Prime. So far from all that I have tested this one has performed the best and I do enjoy using it.
The weapon features a high base critical chance of thirty percent and a high critical multiplier of three point zero but a rather low status chance of only fourteen percent.
I'd recommend a critical base build with both pistol gambit and Hydraulic Crosshairs to get the guaranteed critical with each and every shot and the usual corrosive elemental combo, but this one should be adjusted depending on the encounter.
The main negative of the Spira Prime (aside from being a throwing weapon) is that it has a riven disposition of only one out of five and we could also take into account that currently the weapon is vaulted and getting a full set can prove to be pricey.
While I do love the Spira Prime and consider it one of the best secondary throwing weapon in the game I can't help but feel that this weapon type needs a bit of a buff to bring them more in-line with what many other secondary weapons are capable of or give them a better unique advantage or reason to be used. Being silent is simply not enough.
This is our second fashion frame contest and we decided on a Halloween thematic! We had a blast doing it and we will do it again when the opportunity presents itself.
Congratulations to all our participants and special thanks to my community members that worked hard to make this happen!
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.
