Uninfluenced honest opinions about the gaming industry and its current state. Currently we focus on Warframe & other formats like: News, Updates & Game Reviews
Today we will be taking a look at how do some players feel about the new Nightwave system, this was based on the poll we had about a week ago and you can find it here :
Lever-Action Semi Rifles were never really my thing but when Baro brought the Prisma Grinlok I thought I'd give it a shot!
The weapon offers a decent base critical chance of twenty-one percent and an outstanding critical multiplier of two point nine plus a sky-high status chance of thirty-seven percent. The full IPS range is found on the weapon with Slash edging-out the impact and puncture.
So far so good but the main drawback to the weapon lies in what it is. Another strong point of the weapon would its precision and the Grinlok exclusive mod Deadly Sequence that offers two hundred percent critical chance.
The Prisma Grinlok performed very well in testing being capable of one-shot high-level targets with the right build and a small bit of luck. I fully recommend a build centered around slash through the sixty sixty mods making a viral elemental combo and Hunter Munitions. With a build such as this, the weapon double-dips into slash sources.
This is not my style of primary and I can't say I enjoy using this type of rifles but there is no denying that the Prisma Grinlok is a powerful weapon and from my point of view the best lever-action semi rifle to date. If you're the type of player that enjoys those precision one-shots than you will have a blast with this weapon.
With the Buried Debts event we also get the Thermia Fractures grind that awards us the new Opticor Vandal. Normally Vandal weapons are direct upgrades to their normal counterparts but in this case, we are looking at more of a side-grade.
The weapon has received buffs to fire rate, charge time, critical chance, critical multiplier, reload speed and magazine capacity but also received a massive sixty percent base damage nerf.
Considering all of this many players are wondering if this is an actual upgrade or not. From a DPS perspective, it is an upgrade but it comes at the cost of personality since what made the Opticor infamous was the huge amount of damage it can deal with a single shot. Perhaps the damage cut was a bit overzealous or we are missing something.
At the very least we now have an option to the weapon. You can either stick with the normal version of the Opticor and its iconic one-shot damage or you can choose the Vandal for its agility, both weapons having the same mastery rank fourteen lockout which further confirms the idea of a side-grade rather than an upgrade.
Availability for the weapon is also iffy' since so far it can only be obtained during the Buried Debts / Thermia Fractures event but at least it comes with an Orokin Catalyst Installed by default.
Taking a more objective look at the weapon, it does pack one serious punch and it's fully capable of demolishing high-level targets. In tests, a Hunter Munitions base build has performed slightly better and now is more viable since the Opticor Vandal has a slightly higher Critical Chance.
What can I say? It's definitely not what I expected and perhaps that's a good thing but somehow I'm still conflicted about the idea of a Vandal weapon being a side-grade. Perhaps if I had not used the normal version before the Vandal I would have thought differently but as things stand now I want to see a base damage increase on the Opticor Vandal. It needs to be an Opticor.
Among the weapons we can purchase from the Arbiters of Hexis we find The Telos Akbolto. It differs greatly from the standard version with its status chance being increased to twenty-nine percent at the expense of critical chance which is low at only thirteen percent. Perhaps the best part of this weapon is the fact that it has an innate "Truth" effect which will release a twenty-five-meter radius explosion dealing gas damage upon gaining roughly two thousand affinity.
While testing the weapon I could not shake the feeling that a weapon such as this doesn't carter very well to its status chance strength and while it did decently well I'm going to recommend looking into the prime version if you enjoy a weapon in this style.
Riven disposition for the Akbolto family is fairly low as-well at only two out of five but from my perspective, they are still worth getting within reasonable prices.
Overall it's a decent secondary weapon but no more than that. In a game where you have a ton of options to powerful weapons, mediocrity gets left by the roadside. The Telos Akbolto needs something, something more but I can't say for certain what without making it similar to the other available options. Usually, syndicate weapons sit in-between Prime version and normal versions and this is the case with the Telos Akbolto as-well.
With such a wide variety of weapons to chose from it can be difficult to know what's worth investing in and what's not.
Today we're going to talk about my top 10 primary weapons in Warframe
All of the weapons on the list stand-out from the crowd in one way or another as in Warframe things are often more complicated than XYZ is better than ABC.
Warframe is a free-to-play cooperative third-person shooter video game developed and published by Digital Extremes. Originally released for PC Microsoft Windows in March 2013, it was later ported to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Spy missions can prove a bit problematic. Especially if they decide to show up in your Sortie and you don't know the tricks.
Today I'll show the optimal way to complete the Uranus Spy mission named Rosalind. I'd recommend you go for a Loki Warframe but the mission can be completed easily on any frame as long as you know exactly what you need to do. Even the Archwing sections become a breeze with just a few practice runs.
