What's the generally best archwing/aw weapon and mod set so I can set it and never think about aw again?

Build Itzal, use whatever weapon. Don't overthink too hard about farming mods. It's super irrelevant content.

How do people still hold on to this synergy? It was removed ages ago

People hold onto it because it's still true. Mesa benefits from the fire rate bonus of the Toxocysts, it's just that she loses it mid-Peacemaker when it wears off now. But Mesa's so utterly broken you won't ever need more than 5 seconds in Peacemaker anyway, so it works just fine.

It's real weird to me that it doesn't behave like energy conversion and exalted blade. Or was that the change?

Did people really build around using gunkata for 5 second bursts?

I guess the change does affect my peacemaker base gun as well, my poor little pandero's crit chance :(

For archwing: get an itzal from the clan dojo, buy/trade fluctis parts from the syndicates and other people. Ask in clan chat if people have some spare archwing mods to give. This will probably be enough.

Consider getting an elytron as well.

Weapon changes are cool and good and I can't wait until they are put in. Akmagnus missing 3% crit and status compare to single Magnus is weird though.

Apparently another batch of frame changes coming. This is a gameplay preview of the new Atlas. Keep in mind he also heals off killing petrified enemies now, and gains bonus armor if he’s full health.

That's something of a situational change, since armor only applies to health.

I won't say useless, but situational.

They said the bonus armor was going to be a decay-over-time buff to your armor value, which doesn't sound bad by half (depending on how long you get to keep the buff)

It's still one of the better guns for Mesa, and if you're carrying it for Peacebringer shenanigans then it only cares about the mods in the gun and not the gun's stats.

It's not a huge deal, but... MR is just a stupid metric for this purpose. It would have been better to tie it to 'planet unlocks' or something.

Yeah I'm not saying it's the most elegant solution in the world, but there seems to be some doom and gloom about what this means to new players.

The buffed the shittiest guns that are low MR, and you can still get hek at 4(iirc) and I certainly didn't use anything else until Pluto or so.

Hell im MR21 and hek is still one of my top 3 most used guns and I haven't touched it since I got the SM variant.

It's worth pointing out that turning the Sobek into a 100% status shotgun is going to be about as easy as modding Hek for new players with the new patch.

I like that you can deploy and collect extractors via the Warframe app, but I really wish you could do more stuff that way--most of all I'd like mandachord integration. Feels like such a missed opportunity.

pretty sure the app predates Octavia, and hasn't really been updated since it was made.

it is really good but could use a few qol features to catch back up to the game

Those do look sweet. I’m probably close enough to MR9 that the change won’t really matter tho

Also: the bow draw rate changes look awesome. I already loved fooling around with my Dread, and it’s about to chop dudes in half twice as fast.

which does

quote:

Acid Shells is a Sobek-exclusive mod that causes enemies killed by the Sobek to explode, dealing a flat amount of Corrosive b Corrosive damage plus a percentage of the enemy's maximum health in an area of effect.

or perhaps you want another sobek-exclusive mod, one from steel meridian, which does

quote:

The Shattering Justice mod is a Weapon Augment Mod that adds status chance and Justice specifically for the Sobek. It increases status chance by 5 and Justice by 0.25 per rank, at a maximum of 20 and 1 at rank 3, respectively.

While the Sobek is the active weapon, Justice causes affinity gained by Sobek to fill a special meter. Once 2,000 affinity is acquired, the weapon discharges a radial explosion dealing 1,000 Blast b Blast damage to enemies around the player, restores 25% of maximum Health, and temporarily increases the maximum Armor by 25% of the Warframe's base Armor.

the status from that is a flat +20% to the weapon's value, by the way. not multiplicative.

anyways the sobek is good

Vanilla sobek is underwhelming, but between acid shells and it's favorable riven disposition it's definitely my favorite shotgun.... though Corinth makes a pretty good case, too. The slow reload was its main downfall, so it's just getting that much better.
