Could I get a invite to the PC clan?

Did this update make sniper rifles decent or are they still rather worthless in the long run? I still have a lanka sitting around taking up space.

You might luck out once or twice and get some Neural Sensors, saving yourself some boring farming

Otherwise, not really

Lephantis is a pretty nice target for those. He drops both neurodes and orokin cells, so it's a two-for-one deal.

Boom.

Farming Kubrow on Earth ain't a bad way to do it either, especially with a Nekros. Kubrow and Kubrow dens have a really good chance of dropping neurodes (I've gotten 4 on a quick exterminate run before). This also gives you a chance at Kubrow mods, which are annoying as hell to get.

Or lengthy ODDs, preferably with a Nekros, for the same reason plus it's an endless mode.

Lephantis is the boss of the Orokin Derelicts. To fight him you have to get derelict mission keys and then I think you have to craft keys out of nav coordinates you get in those missions if my memory is correct.

Yes, of course. They can be used to lightly supplement materials you don't have. You should make 50% more than your maximum capacity (if you can use two, build 3) and rotate them out so they have time to repair.

In my case I can keep four out so I've got 3 regular extractors running on Mercury, Venus and Uranus to gather polymer bundles (the only resource I ever find myself lacking) and a distilling extractor running on Saturn because one day I swear I will actually get an Orokin Cell (hahah, no I won't).

For the most part, they're wastes of time, but the amount of investment it takes to get them off the ground and running is so low that you might as well. I think in all the time I've been putting them out there, I've gotten a rare material twice. Still, getting 6 neural sensors or orokin cells for about 5 seconds' work is worth it when it happens.

Distilling extractors have a slightly higher chance of getting rare resources. Note, that includes the research material. But it takes twice as long. If you can log on first thing in the morning for 5 minutes, when you get home, and before sleep, you do better with Titans because you don't get more resources with either one, and you can send titans out more often.

Zellyn

Yeah, apparently it changes it from a 2% chance to a 5% chance, but I don't need any other resource so I might as well waste one of my four slots trying to get something worthwhile.

Kogake and Obex both have a slide attack that ragdolls and launches dudes off to who knows where. The game often gives up and kills them rather than trying to figure out where they've landed.

Kestrel's throw attack also ragdolls enemies.

A boss on the ODA node, Orokin Derelict Assassination. To create a key that gives you access to derelict nodes, you need to buy the blueprint from the market and have nav coordinates. ODA keys, however, needs golem nav coordinates that only drop from void missions. They also take an hour to cook instead of the minute for the rest of the derelict keys.

All of this means that it's pretty laborious to get at them. When you're a bit more leveled up, running void missions and what not, you'll have no problem making them.

If you want to run an ODA, your best bet is to just ask in chat. "Hey I'm new but want to run ODA for the neurodes/cells/nekros parts" and you'll be running up in no time. Also, derelict runs are high level missions so as a lower level dude it is also really useful to hang back and soak up all that sweet sweet xp.

Man I really want to go back in time and do a derelict run with goons as an unleveled dude. It has got to be real cool seeing those dudes murdering the poo poo out of endless waves of strong rear end enemies.

Unless the mutation mods stopped working then it's not really important (and the fix is disproportionately complex due to the way mod compatibility and ammo compatibility (don't) interact)

I'll hear your stories when we come back, alright?
So, since the latest hotfix, at random times (as far as I can tell), for random durations, the game won't let me use my mouse to rotate my camera angle horizontally while in missions or on the dumb ship. It's incredibly goddamn frustrating, and my mouse works just fine everywhere else, including menus, out of game, you name it. :de:

I do wish they'd change it to be more of a cone effect, I guess maybe like a reverse pull with less range but more force (since you're punching a motherfuckers SOUL). Make it play the rattle me bones music too.

If you have a 360 controller or similar plugged in, make sure that it's nothing is leaning on the sticks (or just unplug it). Mine does this occasionally because it's old and the sticks are loose enough that they occasionally wander outside of the deadzone just enough to mess with things.

No because it doesn't actually get better quantities than standards, so you actually get less of everything. lol

Prime Distillings on the other hand are objectively the best. The BP is still seemingly exclusive to the last prime access though. But few in-game loot experiences can parallel popping open a doubleshot of x12 Neural Sensors, I tell you what

This. If you aren't unemployed or a lunatic, they net you more of the hard stuff to come by. I use two distillers, on Ceres and Saturn, full time, and now also two titans on Venus and Uranus because I somehow ran out of polymer bundles.

I guess newer people consider neurodes and neural sensors the bottleneck, but I got approximately ten zillion back in the old "Warframe = Cyath" days... the hard part for me is always having enough ocells to build prime stuff.

They buffed the mk-1 braton as well (it's still bad). The Skana's been a perfectly serviceable weapon for early-game ever since melee 2.0 as well. It's been slow going, but the early game has been getting better lately.

Vor also drops a Cronos BP, which is cheap enough for a newbie to build.
