Akjagara Prime Build 2019 (Guide) - The Bleeding Edge (Warframe Gameplay)

Testing and building the Akjagara Prime was a complete blast and I loved every minute of it. Being honest, I never payed that much attention to the regular version of the Akjagara but this weapon is simply amazing!
It can be build a few different ways being viable with a straight elemental build but I feel the weapon shines a bit more with a viral setup to better leverage the high amount of default slash on the weapon, which also means that we don't need to use maim in order to manipulate the status procs and thus freeing up a mod slot.
The Akjagara Prime received a massive upgrade from the regular version. Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, Status Chance, Damage, Magazine Size, Accuracy, Reload speed, all received better values with the minor exception of fire rate which can be patched with Lethal Torrent.
What puts this secondary over the top is sky high riven disposition of five out of five in an episode that looks very similar to the Tiberon Prime release we got to enjoy a while back.


There's really not much more to say other than get and enjoy this absolute powerhouse of a weapon! Highly Recommend!

Harpak Build 2018 (Guide) - The Whale Gun (Warframe Gameplay)

There are some weapons that are left forgotten and dusty somewhere in our arsenal, the Harpak is one such weapon. Featuring two fire modes and mediocre stats, the Harpak is a burst rifle with a Harpoon alt fire that can serve to crowd control important targets.
While the critical chance of twenty percent may not be stellar the critical multiplier of two point three is very nice so bonus critical additive after effect such as Arcane Avenger or Kavat buff will work very well for the weapon.
The weapon works fairly well with an elemental base build and a slash build through Hunter Munitions provided you can get the critical chance to a decent level. Adding Point Strike and Argon Scope to the weapon will result in a seventy seven percent critical chance and with Arcane avenger we can go to one hundred and seven percent. If we choose to go for a critical approach then Vital sense and Bladed rounds will bring the critical multi to about sever point eight which is more than respectable.
While I'm subjectively not a fan of Hunter Munitions base builds there is no denying that the Harpak functions a bit better with a build such as this.




To wrap everything up, the Harpak is a solid primary weapon in a sea of "solid" weapons which is probably the reason it doesn't get that much attention. It's not bad, it's not fantastic either but you do get a riven disposition of five out of five that can push the weapon out of the mediocrity pool.

Nagantaka Build 2018 (Guide) - Blood Queen's Crossbow (Warframe Gameplay)

Nagantaka Build 2018 (Guide) - Blood Queen's Crossbow (Warframe Gameplay)
When I first saw that Garuda will come with a Crossbow, The Nagantaka I was super excited as I love bows and x-bows!
After a fair bit of testing it quickly became obvious that this weapon wants to slash sporting a huge amount of slash and very high base status chance of thirty nine percent. The rest was mostly obvious with the sixty-sixty mods forming viral damage and further increasing that status chance so we get more slashes on our targets.
The results is a weapon that hits and slashes like a truck but lacks in the usability department. The projectile travel time is a bit lower then I would have liked it to be and there is also a slight arching to deal with as-well.


Most of the times I found myself using the burst fire which felt a lot more satisfying and you also get the benefit of a faster reload as-well.
All in all considered the Nagantaka is an outstanding slasher fully capable of destroying targets through bleeds but it asks a bit of the player as-well. Aiming aside, you will have to juggle between Semi and Burst fire modes depending on the situation but to me that constant shift between the two is a lot of fun and can be very rewarding. Recommend.

Akvasto Prime (Build) - The Double Six Shooters (Warframe Gameplay)

Akvasto Prime (Build) - The Double Six Shooters (Warframe Gameplay)
Warframe fans have been asking for the Akvasto Prime for a while not but I'm not sure if this is exactly what they wished for. The Akvasto Prime is a minor iteration on the Vasto Prime and I would call it a side-grade at best rather than an upgrade.
The weapon sports the same critical chance, critical multiplier, status chance and exact same damage values and layout so the build will be mostly similar as with the Vasto Prime with one major exception, Recoil. Not only did the magazine size increase to double but it feels like the recoil is doubled as-well making that increased fire rate hardly usable unless we sacrifice a mod slot for Steady Hands which will make the weapon a lot more manageable.


To make a long story short, the Akvasto Prime is a side-grade from the Vasto Prime with a larger magazine, better fire rate but also increased recoil and reload time. Builds will be the same, stat priority will be the same and overall it's mostly the same weapon. A subjective added benefit would be the cool factor of dual wielding guns, whatever floats your boat.

Battacor Build 2018 (Guide) - Sentient Power Harvested (Warfame Gameplay)

Battacor Build 2018 (Guide) - Sentient Power Harvested (Warfame Gameplay)
With Fortuna we get access to a batch of new weapons, among them The Battacor, a mastery rank ten primary weapon with a unique automatic burst trigger.
The weapon features very high critical chance for both auto-burst and charge-shot fire modes and high base critical multipliers. The status chance is decent for primary mode at eighteen percent but very low for charge shot at eight percent. The charge shot deals a truck worth of damage and all of it being pure radiation, while the primary fire has its damage split between magnetic and puncture damage.





The Battacor performed very well with both an elemental build and a critical slash build based on Hunter Munitions but overall I feel the slash build works a bit better.
While the secondary fire mode looks like a beam weapon it functions like any other projectile or hit-scan weapon so we can get multiple projectiles fired through the use of multishot but negative accuracy effects such as Heavy Caliber have a rather large impact on the usability of the weapon.
The biggest impact outside of critical chance / damage was fire rate with Vile Acceleration or Speed Trigger, which will allow us to get faster kills and thus more charge shots.

The two major negatives would be the low base fire rate and it being a projectile based weapon which can make it a bit more difficult to land precise shots but the projectile travel speed is not bad at all.

Overall the Battacor is a welcomed addition to the weapon roster sporting a new trigger, interesting charge mechanic and a truck worth of damage. Highly Recommend.
