Why sell potato'd weapons when you can turn split chamber etc. into plat to buy slots with?

You know, I really should ask around regarding mods that are actually worth plat. I've got a Hell's Chamber duplicate I could max out.

Fake edit: I guess you could consider maxxing Serration over and over to be a credits to plat conversion. :v:

I've been thinking of selling mods on the PS4 but have no idea which are desirable and how much they're worth. I come across tons of duplicate good mods while farming other things. I normally just straight up give them to goons as, like I said before, I don't know which are wanted or how much to ask for them. Again, I'm on the PS4.

2 is mandatory for any build.
4 is standard because it's arguably the best room clearer in the game.
3 amplifies damage and is optional depending on your build.
1 is to be ignored.

E: Rhino is really versatile and you have a wide breadth of range<---->power settings when building him assuming you have access to Corrupted mods. I personally prefer a max range build since the stun on his 4 is more than sufficient to let you pick off what the ult doesn't kill outright.

Meanwhile I like a full efficiency build, as it makes the duration on the stomp something really low, thus allowing you to use it more often. Which you can, because it's cheap! If you can, get the +speed hat, as it makes him a lot less suck in getting from place to place. That, along with Maglev and a full rush and you'll beat lokis, novas and zorencopters to the objective. :v:

Yeah. Try to get the Vanguard helm, and just put on whatever power-boosting mods you want. I personally ran with his Charge, Skin, and Stomp, I've never really bothered with Roar. Charge is only there to have a 'screw it I'm done parkouring today' button when needed, and could easily be dropped for something else.
Max out Power Strength to get the most out of Iron Skin, by the way. The HP it gives you is dependent on its own rank and on your Power Strength.

IT'S ME, BURROWS!

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG, BURROWS!
You got three loadout variants, put them to good use!

Just some things to keep in mind:
Iron Skin lasts until it's broken.
IIRC, Stomp stun ignores duration mods, but Charge and Roar do not.
Maxing an aspect of a power requires Corrupted mods, which will hit another aspect - maxing efficiency (hard cap at 75%) hits duration, maxing range hits strength, etc.
What a two foot Charge loses in effectiveness and usefulness, it gains in comedy value.

I use a starched but unforma'ed Roar-less max efficiency Rhino that shuffle-charges towards extraction.
Denzine's Raptor wrangler Rhino used both Stomp and Roar, but I'm not sure if the technique has changed at all.

Rhino simply gives you so much to work with.

So the Wiki is accurate then?

Says if I go power efficiency it doesn't affect the stomp, but it can affect the rhino charge.

The stun on Stomp is unaffected by power duration mods.

Roar for weapon +damage, Stomp to keep him from entering his invuln phase until he's dead.

They may or may not have fixed that second part.

Hold on now, Provoked is the only non-ability warframe mod that boosts weapon damage and combined with Undying Will it oh my god am I actually even thinking about this.

Anyway, intruder is still the worst mod now and forever.

e: Disregard that, it's actually Rebound which actively makes the modded weapon worse.

True, but you could get Vipers or Gremlins and do the same thing, with slightly better ammo usage, and actually probably more damage. So yeah, they're pointless.

Yeah, I have seen those. I'm also very slowly maxing my Reflex Guard so I can combine that, Reflection, and Retribution into a hilariously stupid gimmick build.

Something like Grakata/Karak < Boltor < Tetra, with the caveat that Boltor and Tetra aren't hitscan.

I've seen some stuff that would really make you say "like what?"
Yeah, I'm leveling the Afuris right now and they are for sure one of the worst secondaries in the game, luckily after them I'm done with all of the bad secondaries.

I also just finished building my zephyr, and tailwind is fun as heck if you slot a ton of power duration, I'll probably end up slotting narrow minded just so I can use fleeting expertise without feeling bad. It does feel like the super jump part of it should make the charge free if you use it right after, because having both parts cost energy is pretty lame and most people will probably just end up jumping regularly so they don't have to do it. I've been wondering it since I saw what her polarities were on the wiki, but why does DE put defensive polarities on aura slots, none of the mods are worth slotting for anything besides the mod power. I mean, some time down the road, sure, maybe there will be defensive polarity auras that aren't hot garbage, but by then anyone who would have cared will have already forma'd it into a tactical slot.

I guess DE really gets my goat with the polarities they put on things (or fail to put on things in the case of most weapons) most of the time. I get that it's a free-to-play model, but when it's polarities that you need it's really just a grind, and there's no way to even throw money at the game to get it done more easily.

It's pretty fun but honestly I'm not using it. It would be somewhat better to use Quick Return with Whirlwind (and Power Throw) so that you toss the thing out, it goes through a bunch of dudes, and comes right back to you.

I actually don't have either Quick Return or Rebound on my Glaive Prime because I was down to the last of the slots after I put all the charge damage and charge speed mods on and so I chose Fury because I demand maximum coptering ability from my melee :v:

Actually the vipers and gremlins both have less dps. Vipers are ~10k, and the Gremlins are sitting at ~8k. edit: unless you meant the event-only vipers, which are just a smidge under 17k.

Akbolto, on the other hand, have ~18k. Yes, that much more than the Soma.

Then there's Brakk at 30k. It's kinda insane.
