Didn't they reduce the Archwing bounce a couple updates ago?

They definitely did, but I didn't see it in the patch notes. Seems like both less bounce and less damage from running into walls now.

Willing to bet High Tier (L20+) Spy 2.0's with 3 data extractions. I doubt it makes a difference between 20 and 40.

I don't think the number of extractions matters, besides giving you more rolls on the table.

edit: so far I've picked up two rifle fire/status mods, a pistol cold/status, a couple cores, and all sorts of miscellaneous rare mods.

edit2: and like a bajillion power throws.

Yeah, it got mentioned in one of the patches within the last 2 weeks or so. Meleeing into a wall on Uranus Interception is no longer a death sentence (unless the wall sucks you in and kills you of course).

I remember those bugs. Some are indeed quite batshit (then again computers are loving voodoo. I just saw my facebook, somebody mentioned their program fixed itself by renaming a function) but you'll notice the results are generally nonsensical.
New drop tables are everything but nonsense. They had to be deliberate.

Thank you to all the goons who suggested the Kohm, and especially to the one who linked a good build for it. It's completely ridiculous, easily my favorite non-stealth gun so far. I haven't even needed a Shotgun Ammo Mutation mod yet, since I haven't used it in any endless missions. The only disappointment is that I don't reach full spool in most missions, since the fights are so spread out!

What's funny about the Kohm is how fun/good it is (recent nerf/etc debate aside) compared to other shotguns. Even unspooled, a single shot from it generally feels more effective than the other entry-level shotguns I tried (Hek, Bronco, etc).

But then it does so many other things:
-Single Shot better than many of the competitors
-Innate punch-thru
-Giant ammo pool
-Giant magazine (First time I loaded into a mission on it I almost wondered if that number being over 200 was a bug or maybe it was # of pellets or something).
-No (damage) drop-off from range
-Pretty good spread (unless fully spooled) at midrange

It just shows you how poo poo most of the shotguns are. (I don't have the mod for Hek so can't say, but that magazine is horrid)

Man you haven't lived yet, then. Endless missions are just nice for finding a giant group and then your screen looks more like an excel spreadsheet than a game. Just a wall of numbers. Delicious, delicious numbers.

I'm a simple man. I like pretty, dark-haired women and breakfast food.
I've really kind of hit a brick wall at the Jupiter missions. I feel like my survivability is in the toilet esp. when dealing with Corpus shotgunners just cutting through me. Am I just Volt'ing wrong or is this a common place to be at with him since his armor is so low? I'm working on farming a Rhino but I really really enjoy playing Volt...I just feel like I'm doing it wrong. I crafted the dual heat swords and that has helped some...I really kind of enjoy playing volt now as a more melee/powers oriented frame but his lack of being able to take a lot of damage puts me in a bad place on the Corpus missions on Jupiter. I pretty much can't do anything solo at those levels.

What's the next best gun up from the bratton? I've almost gotten mine to 30. For reference I'm like a level 28 Volt. I was considering either the Hind and then I read somewhere that the Karak is like the next best gun to step to after you've outgrown the Bratton. I bought a Strun thinking it would kind of supplement my close quarter playstyle but I really hate that gun. Tips?

Armor doesn't effect shields and you should be able to do most star map missions without really losing all your shields.

You also have your 3 shield thing to not take damage from shots.

Pick the Karak. Skip the Hind, especially given how many neurodes it takes and how lovely the actual weapon is.

And it sounds like you're soloing. Try not to do that. Play with people, this game is not balanced for single player.

1: Don't play solo, the game is not designed around solo play at all.

2: Offense beats defense, if you're dying easily, the best solution is to kill things quicker. If you don't have a serration yet, beg for one in clan chat or farm one up and start dumping fusion cores into it. As for guns, karak and hind are both good, shotguns and sniper rifles are (in general) very bad, though there are exceptions. The key is to find a gun that feels good to you that still does decent damage.

If you're soloing stuff that's at or above your level range you're gonna have a bad time unless you have ludicrous equipment and tons of practice in. Having said that...

Get as much energy and power range as you can. Power range seems to affect the chained bolts from Volt's number 1, meaning that you'll be able to snipe from like, halfway across the map and have the residual bolts arc for miles. The range plus the short stun will enable you to fry entire crowds.

My problem with grouping is kind of twofold. 1) Not a ton of people running stuff at the current level I'm at. 2) Playing on PS4 and the goon clan seems pretty dead so I'll have to find something more active maybe.

Right now I'm trying to buff up my shield mod but I'm not potato'd so it's a little tight atm. I have all the other good power synergy mods for range and damage. I'm kind of on the fence of whether or not I want to potato Volt. I'd like to give Rhino a whirl once I build him to see if I'm gonna like using him as a farmer and then maybe go for an Ash for fun because I like that melee/special power playstyle.

Just think: after you get that last mod, you can then work on filling all the dots on each mod by grinding the enemies that haven't dropped that mod for you yet.

This is why I wish Warframe had a Utility mod slot on all their stuff, one where only "useless" mods would fit in. Like I wanna use stuff like Maglev or Handstand, but I never will because it takes up a precious slot that could be used for more duration or damage.
Ditto for guns. Tracking shot sounds cool, but I'd never use it because there are so many better options available.
