It works, but it's pretty bad. I put enough mods into it to get it to like 30-35% and when it procs it forces your dude to flail his weapon around like an idiot for a while. And it can continue to proc making the animation even longer.

Basically once the auto-block activates, it will keep blocking until there's nothing to block. Manual blocking works the same way. You can cancel it with a melee attack I think, but randomly getting stuck in block animation in the middle of doing cool ninja poo poo is annoying.

Ok so I recall hearing all about the Gorgon being a gun that was awesome, got removed from the market and then got hit by nerfbats but was still awesome. Is this still the case? I ask this because the bp just fell into my lap as daily reward.

Is there anything to go to after using the Soma? This thing is seriously too great and overshadows every other weapon in the game. I'm on PS4 so no Penta and beyond

Eh. It's okay, I guess. Soma is better in every way.

The Synapse does a few thousand more DPS when maxed, but it's got a much more limited range. The Ignis is significantly lower single-target DPS, but it's got a hilariously massive aoe and can somewhat pierce walls, so it's pretty cool for when you want to point vaguely towards a thing and have it stop being a problem.

How do I get the game to remember that I changed the mods on an item? 9 times out of 10 I will change something, go do a mission, and check and see that its exactly as it was before I made a change.

It's really obnoxious.

That bug's been around for a while now. They keep saying they've fixed it in patch notes, but it's never quite completely fixed. Basically, you just have to roll the dice and hope.

It's not so much that it's not awesome but every main weapon is inferior to the Soma and the Soma is very similar to the Gorgon.

Soma fires faster, has ten more rounds in it's magazine and reloads 1.2 seconds faster, 10 base damage vs the Goron's 25 but crucially has 30% crit, 300% base crit damage and 2V polarity slots. That's the highest crit chance and base crit damage for any rifle in the game except the Synapse which has 20M range limit, 1/3 lower crit damage and inferior electric damage type.

So the Drakgoon with a Nova's molecular prime is loving hilariously over the top.

I don't even bother to aim when fighting anymore. I just orient my character in the general direction of a group of enemies, hit molecular prime, then click three times and listen to the screams of horror as everything explodes.

I need to see if there's a punch through mod for shotguns. Slotting a catalyst in the thing and that will probably do horrific stuff.

There is, though it's exceptionally rare. Can't remember what it's called off the top of my head, and it costs as much as the rifle penetration mod.

It's called Seeking Force and like the pistol and rifle punch through mods it costs 10 points at base level which is a load of poo poo. It also only drops off of Grineer Powerfists so good luck getting it I guess.

See if your clan has the Synapse or Ignis researched up.

* The Synapse, in the Dojo Bio Lab, is basically a clone of the Soma that has an artificially short range (20m max), and only deals Electric damage. However, it has an even higher crit rate than Soma, so a crit-oriented build will end up doing more damage than the Soma. Also, it has a continuous trigger, so no spool-up like the Soma. It's good on its own against Corpus, and throwing in a poison damage mod to make it Corrosive makes it effective against Grineer as well.

* The Ignis, in the Dojo Chem Lab, is interesting -- it's a flamethrower that deals continuous damage in a 20m-long cone. The damage is a bit low, so it's poor against bosses; however, it ignores all cover, and hits everyone in the cone at the same time, so it's FANTASTIC for taking out big groups of enemies moving in a swarm. It's basically the ultimate anti-Infested weapon. (Also pairs very well with a Vauban using Vortex.)

Once PS4 starts catching up with the PC, get the Penta and Drakgoon.

e: You mentioned having the Soma, which means you're at least mastery 6. If you're 8 or above, you might consider building the Embolist as well, which is basically the Ignis except in pistol form and doing Toxin damage.

Drakgoon has innate punch-through on charge attacks. Just throw in a Shotgun Spazz, it will increase your DPS, lets you shoot off charge attacks as fast as regular attacks, and is way easier to get.

It lets you change a polarity slot on a gun or frame, so you can potentially get cards to use less points up.

Polarities reduce the cost of a card by half rounded up. On the aura slot it increases the aura bonus by double.

Yep, find new stuff to level; alternately, if you've found a weapon that you REALLY like, but don't have enough room for all the mods you want, then use a Forma to change one of the mod slot's polarities (at the cost of resetting it to lv1) and level it back up.

And, honestly: if you have enough room for all the mods you want, then your mods aren't high level enough. :)

On a side note, I finally got a Stormbringer mod tonight in a Tier 1 Void Capture. Thank god.

Uh, he's not immune to CC. Rhino can knock him over with both charge and stomp.

Really, Rhino makes all Capture missions trivial. Use Iron Skin to ignore all the fire coming in, charge the target once to knock them over, then two-shot them with Drakgoon or Hek. Once they're down, clear the rest of the room, then X them.
