Fluctus Build 2019 (Guide) - The Power of an Arch-Gun (Warframe Gameplay)

With the Introduction of Profit Taker we are finally able to use Arch-Guns on the ground in normal everyday missions! The process is a bit laborious at first and it does requiter a small investment in the form of  Garvimag which will allow your Arch-Gun to be used as a heavy weapon. From my point of view the it's totally worth it as it can be a lot of fun and it breaths some life in weapons we'd otherwise probably never touch outside of their mastery points value.

As for the Fluctus, it performs fantastically well as it can maw down hordes of enemies thanks to its impressive Area of Effect capabilities. The build itself is rather simple and straight forward since when it comes to Arch-Guns we don't have that many mods to chose from but we should also keep in mind the current ammunition limitations of heavy weapons.
It's also worth keeping in mind that these weapons have two modes, one for Archwing and one called "Atmosphere" mode which is what we will be using outside of Archwing missions. All stats can differ greatly from mode to mode. The Fluctus gets a boost in Critical Chance, Status Chance and base damage as-well in Atmosphere mode.



Currently there are no riven mods for Arch-Guns but the developer has stated that they plan to add them to game. When exactly is anybody's guess.

While the weapon CAN be build at Mastery Rank Wwo you can't really use it in normal missions until you unlock profit taker from Fortuna which in turn requires you to be max standing with Solaris United.

As an Archwing weapon I didn't really care to much about the Fluctus but as a regular mission weapon I absolutely love it and I highly recommend it as it can pack one hell of a AoE Punch!

Second Time Legendary Core - Live Reaction (Warframe Gameplay)

What can I say ... we got lucky again! Some players go through Warframe never seeing a Legendary Core drop for Sortie, let alone to get two so I did hit the jackpot!

Latron Wraith Build 2019 (Guide) - The Red Donkey (Warframe Gameplay)

Testing the Latron Wraith felt like using Windows 98 again. It can be good, sure but it has so many usability issues. The recoil kicks like a mule, the magazine size is small the reload is two point for seconds.

As far as the build options are concerned, I would recommend focusing on the Bleed Build through Hunter munitions since this is the build that offered the best results in testing. If you put Point Strike and Argon Scope together than the weapon achieves one hundred percent critical chance which means that all of the bullets will have the thirty percent chance from Hunter Munitions. The Latron Wraith also sports a very good critical multiplier at two point eight default which further helps a critical base build.
It's also worth keeping in mind that the Wraith has the highest critical chance out of the entire Latron family at twenty six percent.




The weapon can be fairly powerful for a Mastery Rank Seven weapon but it's simply uncomfortable to use. If you are the "sharpshooter" type then you might have a more enjoyable experience with the Latron Wraith but for my own to cents I'd give this one a pass.

Akstiletto Prime VS Prisma Twin Gremlins (Comparison) - Usability Meets Power (Warframe Gameplay)

We are looking at two of the most powerful secondary weapons in the game and either will yield good results in most circumstances. While I'd personally recommend you get both there are some differences between the weapons that could make one be the better build for you.

The biggest difference would the fact that the Prisma Twin Gremlins are projectile based so they will be more difficult to aim than the Akstiletto Prime which is hit-scan.
Critical chance weights in the favor of the twins and the status chance will be superior on the primes. It should also be mentioned that because of the increased fire rate and magazine size ammo can be an issue on the twins so you might have to use Carrier with ammo case.

Test results between the two weapons were similar but overall I find the Twins to be the more powerful weapon but they fall short of the Stilettos in terms of usability. Test were done using a corrosive build and a slash based build with Primed mods included.
Riven disposition also plays a potent role as the disposition is five out of five for the twins and only one out of five for the primes.

Overall it really comes down to the user but you will not be disappointed by either of these outstanding secondary weapons. I'd recommend you build both as they are more than worth it.

Warframe (Fortuna) - Are Macros Ok ? (Rapid Fire, Slide Attack)

I hope this serves to clarify the allowance in Macros in Warframe as it is a bit of a grey area.
Mashing one button fast or slapping two commands together for the ease of use seems to be just fine but if you want to be one hundred percent sure then you can do what I did. Take a screenshot of the macro and launch a support ticket to Digital Extremes and ask them about it (it only takes a minute or two to make a ticket)
Use only legitimate gaming software from known vendors as obscure software can cause you trouble.

Vaykor Marelok Build 2018 (Guide) - Steel Meridian's Pride (Warframe Gameplay)

There are so many secondary options in Warframe it can be hard to pick a favorite. Among the one that stand out is the Vaykor Marelok. The weapon deals a truck of damage and has a fantastic status chance of thirty five percent but sports a lower critical multiplier of only one point five. The list of drawbacks continue with the rough recoil, low riven disposition and an absurd amount of impact damage. Even with all of these issues the weapon the Vaykor Marelok can pack one hell of a punch when build correctly.
You can go for a straight elemental build or you can attempt a slash build through the use of Maim, of course a negative impact riven would do wonders for the weapon. The idea behind it is to get the impact out of the running for procs.



Overall the Vaykor Marelok is a very strong secondary weapon but has some usability issues as-well, some of these can be easily addressed with mods but others are bit more difficult to get around.

Plinx Build 2019 (Guide) - The Critical Limitation (Warframe Gameplay)

When I first tried-out the Plinx it felt a bit underwhelming but the more I played with it the more I understood what kind of player would enjoy such a secondary weapon.

It comes to us at a lower Mastery Rank Requirement of only six and it features abysmal status chance but a very high critical chance of thirty two percent with a fantastic critical multiplier of three point zero. The weapon also boasts a very good accuracy rating and in combination with its critical style it will benefit the "sharpshooter" type of player.
Given the base stats on the weapon the Build itself becomes very simple as I would encourage a heavy emphasis on critical chance and critical damage when prioritizing what stats to look for a in a riven mod.


The test results were decent at best and I would not call the Plinx an endgame weapon but for the low mastery rank it does a good enough job until you manage to get your hands on something with a bit more power.
