Warframe (Updated Guide) - Eidolon Hunter Mirage Better Than Ever (Tutorial & Gameplay Demo)

Ever since the Old Blood Patch we've been having trouble with using Mirage Prime in Eidolon hunts but thankfully these issues have been resolved in Hotfix 26.0.7.


We can now use again self heat Procs to get our damage on but we also have a better option in the form of self electricity Procs. If you want to go hunting with a primary weapon I would suggest you use the Sancti Castanas as a electricity proc weapon as it is very consistent. As for what primary weapon to use you have a bunch of great options. Rubico Prime, Vectis Prime, Lanka, Chakkhurr, Daikyu etc. Using Mirage you can get yourself consistent one-shots on Eidolon Sinovia without as much trouble as before and without a the requirement of a Riven Mod.

Mara Detron VS Kuva Brakk (Comparison) - The Best Pocket Shotgun (Warframe Gameplay)

For the longest while I have recommended the Mara Detron as being one of the best secondary weapons in the game. With the introduction of the Kuva Brakk the status-quo has changed in a big way.



The Kuva Brakk revitalized the Brakk and now is one of the few weapons in Warframe that can offer both true one hundred percent status chance with only three of the sixty sixty mods plus a healthy dose of critical chance and critical damage. Something that the Mara Detron lacks. While the Detron has issues on the critical side it makes-up for it through it's high two hundred and eight base Radiation damage. The Kuva Brakk can't reach such high amounts even with a perfect sixty percent roll. Do try to bear in mind that I recommend using a Toxin Progenitor such as Saryn for your Kuva Brakk. While the duel between the two was very interesting the outcome was clear. The Kuva Brakk is clearly the superior weapon. Especially considering that both weapons have Riven Mod disposition of three out of five. This does not mean that the old Mara Detron is bad weapon and I would highly encourage you to give both a try!

Warframe (Gameplay) - Sentient Ship & Erra Quest Live Reaction (Spoilers)

I finally reached the Veil and now I can start farming the Sentient ship! With this comes the Erra quest which is next step lore-wise for Warframe.



At the end of the Erra quest you do get the Shedu blueprint but you will still have the farm all the necessary components. I love the design of the sentient ship tile-set and I hope we get to see it a lot more! As for the quest itself it was enjoyable but it left me wanting more so hopefully the "New War" update will come sooner rather than later.

Kuva Quartakk Build 2020 (Guide) - The Quad Blaster (Warframe Gameplay)

I always admired the Quartakk but truth be told I never thought it was strong enough considering all the competition the weapon faced. Enter the Kuva Quartakk which improves on the original in almost every single way.

We got more base damage and critical chance plus an alternative automatic fire mode with a base status chance of thirty three percent. After some testing it became apparent that the weapon is a lot stronger when used in Semi mode as it has a much larger critical chance and the base damage is the same. This means we can better leverage that overpowered mode Hunter Munitions and get some much needed slashes on our targets. The weapon did very well with a cheap build based on Viral damage and slashes, needing only three shots to take out a high level Corrupted Heavy Gunner. Riven Mod disposition sits at three out of five for the Kuva Quartakk just like all the new Kuva weapons. The Developer is thinking about introducing this individual riven disposition system on all weapon in Warframe. Overall the Kuva Quartakk is a solid improvement over the original but I can't help of feel that the automatic mode is a bit gimpy and does not help the weapon that much. A plus would be the fact that you can use that automatic fire mode to combo with the Semi mode. Strip some armor off your target with the highers status chance automatic mode and finish it off with a semi blast with more critical chance. The Kuva Quartakk is a decent weapon that should serve you well but it's definitely not everybody's coup of tea.

Quellor Build 2020 (Guide) - The Dax Workhorse (Warframe Gameplay)

The Quellor is presented to us as being the Workhrose of the Dax that served aboard Railjacks. It has a standard automatic assault rifle mode and a very strong secondary fire mode which will consume seventy five ammo and release a powerful blast.




The Stats differ greatly between the two fire modes with the Primary favoring status chance and the secondary favoring critical chance. As for a build the hybrid setup is a good balance for both fire mods but you will have to make a choice on what you want to prioritize on Riven Mods. I would recommend using at least one fire rate mod such as Vile Acceleration which helps greatly both fire modes. Another solid idea for the build is to populate the weapon Exilus mod slot with some extra projectile flight speed which will mitigate one of the weak points of the secondary fire mode, that being the super low fall-off. The handling of the weapon is solid and I can only really complain about the incredibly high reload time of four second. I don't see any reason why such an absurd reload time is needed. A workhorse is not supposed to be the best but it is supposed to be reliable and to be totally honest I'm not impressed. The Quellor is not bad by any stretch of the imagination and I like the design and animations. I just wished they would have gave it something a bit more special. Decent, not great. Which does sound like something you would say about a workhorse.

Warframe (Gameplay) - Empyrean Railjack First Missions Live on PC (Spoilers)

With the game awards we finally got the release of Empyrean and with it a ton of content. The main focus of the update is the Railjack and space ship battles together with your crew. There are multiple roles you can fill in your squad or you can simply do whatever you want. Fly the ship, man the guns, deploy and board enemy ship by taking out their reactors. Fix damage that is done to your Railjack and craft consumables in real-time such as ammo or repair mats.



The Railjack is also fully Customizable. You can use skin, set colors, even plaster Glyphs across the hull. Upgrade various parts and features like defense, offence and maneuverability and also develop your own skills at controlling and using your Railjack. For now this is just the tip of the iceberg and there's plenty farm and upgrade before we see what a fully tricked-out Railjack can do. As a first impression, I am enjoying Railjack and I did have fun playing the update with my friends but ( In typical Digital Extremes fashion) there are tons upon tons of bugs and glitches to deal with and they can get annoying so bear that one in mind. If history is any indication it will take at least a few weeks before the content is fully playable. As a bit of a side note, I'm also very disappointed in the way that Empyrean was promoted but that's a topic for another time and I'll bear that one in mind.

Aksomati Prime Build 2020 (Guide) - The Enhanced Bombardment (Warframe Gameplay)

Many secondary weapons get released in Warframe so it's easy for some to get lost in the crowd. The Aksomati was a secondary weapon that I always appreciated but it could not compete with the more powerful available options. Enter the Aksomati Prime which hopefully will change that.



The Prime variant received a slightly higher magazine of eighty, slightly better fire-rate, ten percent extra damage and the biggest buff of all an extra ten percent status chance for a total of eighteen (up for eight). As you can see, much like the Baza Prime, the Aksomati Prime was a very cautious buff on the part of the developer. Why exactly that is I'm not sure but maybe they didn't want to release something to strong before going on vacation and leaving an overpowered weapon run rampant. The Weapon performs well with an elemental setup decent at best with a slash based setup and yes, it does outperform the normal Aksomati by a significant margin. Let's be clear, this is not a weak weapon by any stretch of the imagination but it's not exactly a front runner either. If you are looking for a good bullet hose style of secondary than the Aksomati Prime is a strong option provided the build is correct. Riven Disposition three out of five which is individual nowadays and I would recommend you get at least one hundred percent critical chance than look for Multishot, critical damage and/or damage on your Riven Mod.
