Akmagnus Build 2018 (Guide) - Power and Usability in Harmony (Warframe Gameplay)


There is no shortage of options when it comes to Dual Pistols in Warframe, you have the very popular in the form of the Akstiletto, Akbolto and on the other side of the popularity spectrum we will find The Akmagnus.

Hey guys, hello and welcome back, my name is Ani and today we will be diving deeper into a secondary weapon that most of the time gets overlooked. With a mastery lockout of 12, the Akmagnus can be the ideal compromise between power and usability, as such, we will assume that you already know the bare minimum, but we are also going to be covering some of the basics, so if you are a veteran of the game please bear with us. Now, I will hand you over to Leyzar and the Akmagnus.



First we are checking out how the weapon handles without any sorts of Mods equipped.
I'm gonna be using maximum Fire Rate, so you can see exactly what this weapon can do. At Max Fire Rate their accuracy really isn't all that good ... but on the other side the recoil the Akmagnus possesses ... is quite manageable. So by all intents and purposes, it shouldn't really bother you that much, as long as you're not firing at full fire rate. 

Now, let's take a look at the stats, and see exactly what we're dealing with. First of all, we got an accuracy of 11.1 ... Now, normally secondary weapons can have a lot more than this, but when it comes to Dual Pistols, this is really not that bad, as a norm of course. Critical Chance is quite nice at
22% and we have a multiplier of 2.0 X, which again, is decent; Fire Rate 6.17 by default and we can amplify this even further ... but the question is ... will it be a wise idea or not? We're gonna find out a bit later.

Baza Build 2018 (Guide) - The Silent Assault Rifle


Did you ever want to take an assault rifle to a spy mission, but didn't because it makes too much noise? Today we're gonna be diving deeper into the only silent assault rifle in Warframe, The Baza.

It comes to us at a Mastery Lockout of only seven, as such, this video will take a New Player Friendly approach, and I'm gonna be covering a lot of the basics, so if you're a veteran of the game, please bear with me. And with that out of the way let's jump into the Baza Assault Rifle.

Before we slap on any mods let's check out how the weapon handles. I'm gonna be staying roughly 30 meters away from my target (this is roughly the 30 meter point) and I'm gonna start spraying. 
Please notice that there's basically no recoil to this thing and it's extremely precise as well. Fire rate is also pretty good. And as you can see (in the video) the shots were pretty much dead-on from about 30 meters away.

Now let's jump into the stats and see exactly what we're dealing with: First and foremost you see that my mod capacity is 60 out of 60. Your Baza might have only 30 out of 40. To get the 60 mod capacity you need to jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst. You can obtain this one from alerts, invasions or if you have access to the daily sortie, this is also a possible reward. More often than not you're gonna have to pay 20 plat for it. 




Now you're also gonna notice the number 8 in the middle of the screen, right next to the rank of the weapon: this means that my weapon has been format a total of 8 times, but for the weapon build I'm
gonna recommend to you guys, 5 should prove sufficient. We got an accuracy of 80,  a huge accuracy for the Baza, which will make it a worthy candidate for a very specific Mod, But we will talk about it a little bit later. About Critical Chance ... is absolutely awesome at 26% and the multiplier at 3.0x, all of these being outstanding stats;

Warframe (Gameplay) - Chains of Harrow Quest (They told me it was Scary)


Hey guys, Hello and welcome come back! As always, my name is Leyzar and today we got something a little different ... 
One of the things that I'd never really got to do in Warframe is complete certain quests, but now DE is telling me that I really should complete "The chains of Harrow", and of course, I asked my friends: "Hey, how is The Chains of Harrow"? And they told me ... it's spooky and creepy and all whatnot, and then I'm gonna love it....

So what we're gonna do is ... turn off the lights and do the Chains of Horrow quest!

All right this should be spooky enough ... shouldn't it? I'm given this thing all the chances it has at scaring me, but after Clive Barker's Undying I don't think it can scare me ... but anyway Chains of Harrow ... All right, off to a good start... that intro was really smartly done ...

Chains of Harrow is the quest-line that will reward you with the Harrow Warframe blueprint and it proved to be a very enjoyable experience. The only complaint I have is that it gets a little repetitive/tedious when gathering all of necessary emotions to "save" Rell.

Please check the video below to see the entire Gameplay and commentary.

Aksomati Build 2018 (Guide) - The Critical Barrage (Warframe Gameplay)

When a friend got a riven for this weapon I was all over him trying to snatch it from his grip (I was successful!) And thus began my experience with these outstanding pistols. Aksomati ... High Crit Chance and Crit Multiplier make this weapon into an absolute beast and while it may not be "the best" secondary weapon in the game there is no denying their raw power!

Hello guys! With  a Mastery Lockout of 9 ... these things sure can pack one serious critical punch! Please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually take a more "New Player Friendly" approach, simply because there's a lot of information here that most of the times simply get skipped over, and I feel that I should cover it, so if you're a veteran of the game please bear with me.

And with that out of the way, why don't we jump into the Aksomati. Let's take a look at how these weapon handles without any sorts of mods equipped. Now, I'm about 20 to 25 meters away from my target and I'm gonna start spraying. The accuracy is not exactly all that hot; It hits a lot of bullets outside of my cross-hair, so there is that to take into account. Another thing which I want you guys to notice is that it doesn't start off at full fire rate, it's got a bit of a spool up to it, pretty much like the Soma, because essentially these pistols are The Soma, condensed down into pistol version; 



In the next part of the guide we are gonna check the stats and talk about pros & cons, standard mod capacity, how to increase it and so on.
My weapon has been format a total of six times but for the weapon build I'm recommending you guys ... 5 should be sufficient. I only did 6 because I have a Riven and I also wanted to do a fair bit of testing.

Accuracy is 15.4 and as you saw, they're not extremely accurate. Critical chance is 24%, which is
outstanding, and the critical multiplier by default 3.0 ... and this is where the Aksomati shines: this is a 100% Crit Weapon.

Vulkar Wraith Build 2018 (Guide) - The Pride of Grineer Engineering (Warframe Gameplay)

There is no shortage of options when it comes to Sniper Rifles in Warframe. 
You have your Victus Prime, your Lanka, your Rubico ... But today we're talking about an MR7 weapon that can still pack one serious punch: The Vulkar Wraith ... a weapon that can only be obtained from Baro Ki'Teer, the Void Trader. 

With a mastery lockout of seven, this baby can still get to you through any endgame that Warframe can put out there, at least for now. Please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually take a more new player friendly approach, simply because there's a lot of information here that most of the time
simply get skipped over, and I feel that I should cover it. So veterans of the game, please, bear with me.

As usual, firstly we check out how the weapon handles without any sorts of mods, and we make a short analysis of the stats (Video below).


Now, you have a Mod capacity of 60/60. You get this one by jumping into actions and installing an Orokin Catalyst. This can be obtained from alerts, invasions,  or ... if you're lucky, from the daily sortie. Another aspect to the build is the fact that the weapon has been format a total of five times. Now, I did this for the sake of testing and because I have a Riven. You guys should be able to get away with only 4 forma. So let's slap on some Mods:

The first thing we do with any weapon is slap on flat damage, and we're gonna go with Serration, this is the Rifle Mod, +165 % extra damage; It will amplify the base Impact and Puncture.
If you guys have Prime Versions of any of the mods, then by all means, go right on ahead and use your Prime Versions. 

Do we have other options when it comes to damage? Yes we do!

Mara Detron Build 2018 (Guide) - The Pocked-Sized Shotgun (Warframe Gameplay)


Every time the Void Trader rolls into town there is a bit of excitement and anticipation to see what he brought us: Some cool mods, some cool weapons, one of those treats is the Mara Detron. 

Hello, and welcome back! As always, my name is Leyzar and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this beauty. With a mastery lock-out of nine, the Mara Detron is one potent sidearm, and today we're gonna see exactly what we need to do in order to get the most out of it.

That being said, please keep in mind that my builds and my guides usually take a more New player friendly approach, simply because there's a lot of information here that most of the time simply gets skipped over, and I feel that I should cover it. So if you're a veteran of the game, please bear with me, and with that out of the way let's jump into the Mara Detron.

As usual, firstly we check out how the weapon handles without any sorts of mods, and we make a short analysis of the stats (Video below)


My weapon has been format a total of 4 times, but for the build I'm recommending you guys, 3 forma should prove sufficient. This is a pellet based shotgun, with seven pellets by default, so all the rules of the pellet based shotguns will apply, and we'll go into that a bit later.

Let's slap on some mods: The first thing we do every single time is slap on some flat damage with Hornet Strike. 

Now, fully maxed-out Hornet Strike will give you 220 % extra damage.
You do have a couple of additional options: you can go for Magnum Force because again, on this weapon you're gonna be able to use pistol mods ...  so you don't have the same rules as per usual this being a secondary weapon. Augur pack will give you 90 % damage,  and while the set bonus is nice to have, there's simply not enough room on the bill for augur pack, at least not for now - we're gonna talk about this mod just a tad later - and we're staying away from critical chance and critical damage because it simply doesn't prove efficient.

We got our damage ... now let's take into account that status chance of ours - 42% - and as you know in order to obtain true status chance on a pellet based shotgun we need plus status effects, so let's see what we got for that status ...

Dex Furis Build 2018 (Guide) - The Blazing Bullet Storm (Warframe Gameplay)

As part of the Warframe yearly celebration we are treated to a couple of goodies. One of those goodies is a highly customized version of the standard, a Furis. 

Hello and welcome back! As always, my name is Leyzar, and today we're gonna be diving deeper into these babies! The Dex Furis used to require no mastery rank at all in order to use, but nowadays you will need Mastery Rank 10 in order to wield those puppies.

That being said, please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually take a more new player friendly approach, simply because there's a lot of  information here, that most of the time simply doesn't get covered, and I feel that I should. So if you're a veteran of the game, please bear with me.

And with that out of the way, let's jump into the Dex Furis. Firstly we start by analyzing the stats and how the weapon handles without any sort of Mods equipped. 

This one comes from the yearly celebration, that means you're gonna have a potato installed from the get-go, so you're not gonna have to upgrade with an Orokin Catalyst. However, my weapons have been formatted a total of 5 times. You're not gonna need 5 times for the build I'm recommending you, but you will still need a total of 4 forma.




When talking about Mods, the first you should do with mostly any weapon is slap on some flat damage, and it's gonna be Hornet Strike for Pistols. It will add 220 % extra damage, and if you guys got Prime Version of any of the mods that I recommend, then by all means , jump right in, and use your Prime Version. When it comes to damage we do have a couple of additional options: Magnum Force ... Now, Magnum Force is heavy caliber for pistols; It will add damage at the cost of accuracy, but as you saw, the accuracy is a little bit suffering on these pistols, so we're gonna stay away from Magnum Force.

Another option would be Augur Pact. Augur Pact is actually quite a decent mod, not taking the set bonus into account, that's 90 % extra damage, which of course will multiply your elemental damage later on, after you slap some on. But to be perfectly frank with you guys ... there is simply not enough space for this mod on the pistol. There are simply better options.
