Quatz Build 2019 (Guide) - The Combo Shot (Warframe Gameplay)

I'm always getting excited when I see new weapons in Warframe and today I have the pleasure of showcasing what the Quatz can do.
The weapon features two fire mods, one from the hip which is automatic and burst similar to the Quartak in scope mode. You can use auto while aiming down sights but you need to zoom-in while firing from the hip.
The two fire modes have different stats, the auto leans more on stratus and the burst on critical chance plus critical damage and in combination with how the weapon functions we can use a mix between the two. Starting from the hip than zooming on the targets head, interrupt fire for a second then continue into burst mode. The way I see things this provides an interesting way of applying either more status or crit to your targets.


The Quatz also has an interesting gimmick. If you allow the magazine to fully empty the reload animation will generate an area of effect electricity pulse which will crowd control targets. It can be very useful to not allow targets to interrupt your reload and get easy head-shots but it would have been more efficient if the pulse would have occurred more towards the start of the animation rather than its end.

Overall I like this secondary weapon as its gimmick does carry some weight and the two fire modes blend nicely together. Riven Mods right now for the Quatz are very expensive but if you want to get the most out of it than the investment is worth it as the weapon can pack a serious punch. Recommend.

Zhuge Prime Build 2019 (Guide) - The Crossbow King (Warframe Gameplay)

The Wukong Prime patch brought us another Prime Crossbow in the form of the Zhuge. It offers a built-in Thunderbolt but on a delay and superior critical stats at the cost of five percent status chance. The weapon also sports superior fire rate and a larger magazine plus a very interesting reload speed mechanic if we fully unload the magazine.
While the crossbow has slightly less base damage the explosions mean we can leverage two sources of procs on a target. The range of the explosions being three meters and the detonation is on a one-second delay which can results in self-damage if you're not careful, especially in a run and gun scenario. A consequence of this mechanic seems to be the non-functionality of Thunderbolt which was a fan favorite on the Zhuge.
Another thing to keep in mind is that (at the time of recording) the weapon does not break Ivara's cloak even thou the Crossbow is specified as being alarming.


The Build can take a couple of forms, outside of the mandatory mods you can go for a standard elemental approach or you can leverage Hunter Munitions plus the weapon's high base slash damage for a double-dip slash build. No matter which way you chose to go the weapon performs very well.

While the Zhuge Prime is a bit quirky and not the most comfortable weapon to use it's certainly a performer and I consider it the best crossbow we can use at the current time so it gets a full recommendation.

Wukong Prime Iron Staff Build - Condition Overload w/ Crit (Warframe Gameplay)

I'm a bit new to Warframe and Melee builds but with the Introduction of Wukong Prime I thought it's worth a shot. Today I will showcase and explain my way to Wukong Prime and his Exalted weapon, the Iron Staff Prime.

The Warframe build focuses heavily on Primal Fury and trying to get the most out of the staff. From my point of view, this is done by leveraging not only Condition Overload but also a healthy dose of Critical Chance and Critical Damage resulting in a grade A hybrid setup.

The Iron Staff takes very well to a pure Condition Overload build but the issues is critical chance considering the mods we have available and the base stats of the weapon and the fact that we can't use Blood Rush. The critical chance can be obtained from outside sources which makes room on the staff for everything else we need including critical damage. Primal Rage, Arcane Avenger and the Gladiator Set come together nicely to offer us a good amount of critical chance and the last piece of the puzzle is solved by the Naramon talent Power Spike which ensures our combo multiplier.
Everything comes together nicely to offer what I believe to be impressive results.

This may not be the safest build or the comfiest but this is the one I enjoyed the most and I recommend you guys give it a spin. Suitability for me has not been a concern but then again is for a more active gameplay style when one actually plays the game and makes use out of all of Wukong's abilities.

Aklex Prime vs Akvasto Prime - The Gunslinger's Choice (Warframe Gameplay)

Today we will be taking a look at some of the most powerful Ak secondary weapons in Warframe. The Aklex Prime and the Akvasto Prime in a head to head battle.

Both weapons posses similar stats but the Aklex Prime has superior damage, critical chance and status chance. The Akvasto Prime has better usability through it's reload speed, recoil and it's a bit more flexible in the build department.
The Akvasto Prime comes with two default Madurai polarities and a riven disposition of four out of five. The Aklex prime has no default polarities and comes with a riven disposition of two out of five being the more popular weapon.
The choice boils down to raw power or control as both weapons can pack a serious punch so it's left to the player to make a judgment call. I would argue that both secondary weapons are worth the full build as long as resources allow and if not then hopefully, this duel helped you chose a favorite.

Warframe (Guide) - Dog Days Tactical Alert

Today we'll be looking at everything you need to know about the brand new tactical alert or event "Dog Days". This one has a beach/summer theme to it and we're able to grind some very interesting rewards such as Beach Color Pallet, Dog Days captura scene and Roller Floofs that interact with our companions in the orbiter.

All players will use the Soaktron as a weapon and the goal is to get more take-downs than the Grineer. The weapon cannot be modified and Warframe mods do not apply outside of set bonuses such as vigilante and the Rifle Amp aura grants its benefit.

The final mission will grant fifty pearls and you can farm to your heart's content to get all the rewards that can be found at Nakak - Cetus. Happy Farming!


Looks like DE was receptive to feedback and as of patch 25.5.4 each kill in the final mission will yield a pearl and we still get the 50 for completing the mission.
