I spent 50 forma during the xp weekend and caught up with all the quests, Hydron can rest for a bit :/

Edit: next weekend, I guess I'll forma Zarr and Pox, along with whatever else I don't have that explodes along with more warframes

I got that Carrier sentinel but the little fella doesn't seem to do much. Am I supposed to press a button to make him work? Or is there just not much auditory or visual feedback when he's working? I've not noticed him shoot anyone yet, but maybe I gotta be closer.

Is it worth getting Helios too?

Do I need to buy wings? Can I wear them all the time? They look badass. Which wings are best wings?

What the heck wings are you talking about? Wings for your sentinel? The Naberus arm decos? Wing shaped syandanas?
The sentinel wings are compatible with all sentinels, arm decos and syandanas are compatible with all warframes.

You also need to slot mods in to your sentinel in the arsenal, their behavior is determined by their "precept" mods which have the little sentinel-unique mod polarity. I believe Vacuum has a precept mod polarity but is always active when slotted and also the main advantage of using a sentinel-- upgrade it so you hoover up all the pick-ups within 6 meters of you or whatever. You need to slot the attack mod to have your little buddy attack, and upgrading the attack mod will increase its targeting range.

Did you put mods in him yet? Max the mod Vacuum to gobble up loot. You also need a mod to make him attack things. The mods should have been auto given to you when you finished building him.

Helios is not that useful until you get the unlimited scanner from Simaris. You're much better off with Taxon. You get him from completing an early junction.

No(t with platinum, you can buy blueprints from a clan dojo), no, only on Archwing-icon missions on the map, and the last one I cannot even tell you because I've not had the experience with more than a few.

alphabettitouretti posted:

X Prime is usually a sidegrade/slight upgrade (depending on which) on the standard X, and you don't make something Prime, you have to collect separate parts and blueprints to build it because they count as their own unique versions for completion.

Well, if there's one thing I've learned from playing this game for a few hours it's that enemies that shield other enemies and flit around in a very random fashion is still the least fun thing in any games ever.

Also I'm great at the bow in stealth, but I'm a loving rear end at it in hectic situations like defense and poo poo.

I got a kohm riven, it has 133% bullet speed and 250% damage.

The thing was quite silly before, now it's just lol, a single pellet hits for like 800 damage and it shoots up to 80 pellets per second. Extra effective range is nice too

Archwing kinda sucks, sorry bud :smith: It's a lot more fun with an Itzal or Elytron (gettable from the dojo) but there's only like 10 nodes total on the solar system that are archwing and they all give archwing-only rewards so it's not really worth the investment in building one. Its main issue is also that the control scheme is some horrible bastard child of regular Warframe controls and flight sim controls that feels super finicky and gets in the way of shooting things.

That being said it's not totally unenjoyable, and it's decently fun in general to use the archwing on the Plains of Eidolon (which requires a ridiculous amount of investment for a really small pay off.)

Twin Grakata. Build one grakata, level it, build a second grakata, stick them together with the blueprint, now you have 2 assault rifles dual-wielded as your pistol.

Carrier, while it has a good weapon in Sweeper, isn't exactly about shooting by itself. It has a mod called Ammo Case which makes you shoot more by virtue of adding +25% to your maximum ammo and converting any off-type ammo you find into ammo that you can use

You basically never have to worry about keeping topped up or running out of bullets/batteries/whatever when Carrier is around. It even works when it's dead!

Yeah, max out Ammo Case ASAP, same with Vacuum. I also fit my Carrier with the freezing Artax weapon from the Taxon for the ultimate quality of life buddy :keke:

If you're regularly using guns that chew through ammo like the Soma, Amprex, or Kohm the Ammo Case is a huge help. Otherwise just roll with what you're comfortable with.

I don't know specific price wise but I know Pyrana is supposed to be one of the better secondary shotguns so that's probably worth the most. Unfortunately its heavily slash based so that's not a great roll. Argonak is supposed to be one of the hidden gems and cold + damage is pretty solid for an unrolled. There are a number of goons who really like the latron (despite it not being that great). Dera and amphis are bad and sweeper is a sentinel weapon. You can probably get a few plat but not a ton if you spam trade chat with them asking for offers. You can also check out wftrader.com and compare prices although you can probably get better deals from spamming trade chat.

Akstiletto Prime is king of secondary DPS and it's a full auto akimbo gun pair. Regular Stiletto is in dojo Tenno lab and a decent pair of guns. Aksomati is decent and the younger brother of (regular) Soma. Akzani is also a decent dual auto guns. Like someone already said, Twin Grakata is a good bullet hose. Stubba is also good, like a single version of Twin Grakata but more accurate even if ammo could be a problem in high levels. But Stubba only drops from Ghoul Invasion I think.

Cestra, Furis, Viper and their dual versions are poo poo.

Furis has a Syndicate mod that gives it lifesteal, which makes it a useful secondary on high-armor frames. Just spray down a crowd with the mod, and gain all your health back.

The only real bad part about the Furis augment is the six-to-eight week process of having your weapon swap request approved so that you can heal yourself. Great if you can see the future, not so much if you need health now.
