What are some good shotguns? I've enjoyed the Strun but I want to really go into the 'shoot the entire screen dead' territory.

The Kohm instantly became my go-to gun and stayed my favourite until I got to about MR13 and built the Arca Plasmor. I still use it for missions with lots of infested mooks. If you can build it, make it a priority. (Also, build Hek as soon as you hit MR4, just be prepared to spend a lot of time reloading it.)

Hek is very, very good for an mr4 gun, you may still be using it in engame missions.

You'll want to see if you can get carried through some Earth / Mercury / Venus / Mars nightmare missions until you get chilling reload, which almost halves your reload time. It also adds cold damage, which you can pair with a +heat mod to add blast damage.

The real warcrime shotgun is the arca plasmor at MR10, which is more of a radioactive fireball launcher than a shotgun.

Tigris is also good at mr7, double barrelled shotgun. Corith is very pretty but probably outclassed by the strun wraith, drakgoon is odd but also fun (rebounding flak cannon with an index mod that makes the pellets ricochet).

If that happens, you need to be the one who quits. Get through the portal to the next round, then drop to the dashboard and close the game down. When you log back in, you should have an in-game mail with your items in it.

I realise this will make things worse for the other players, but gently caress it you'll have your neuroptics.

I learned something last night: You can just not go through the portal to the next wave and you will exit with all XP, focus, and rewards. No need for shenanigans!

You can, it just cuts the bullshit if you get host migration or connection problems on the very next round.

I remember reading on the main thread that to get (for example) the reward for round 4, you need to go through the portal at the end of round 4 and then not extract at the end of 5. You get the rewards for 4 but not 5 in that case.

I might have misunderstood though. Requires further testing, I just remember hearing people pretty much pulling out the network cable as soon as they went through the portal in order to keep the neuroptics.

I just wish there was something we could do with all the duplicate captura scenes.

Hello Goons! I've recently started playing this incredibly dense thing and am fumbling through the first few hours. I'd be interested in joining the clan for PS4 players and perhaps team up for Tenno shenanigans. Is there a particular place I go to sign-up, like a Discord?

Edit: I also got one of those 75% discounts as my daily reward. Is there a recommendation on what I should use that on?

Don't be afraid to just type poo poo into the alliance chat. Hell invite alliance people to chat parties. I'll talk about the game with people even if I'm playing something else (because I'm definitely playing something else most of the time, letting new warframe stuff pile up so I have lots of stuff to do). I'll even help do stuff.

On this note, I reiterate to definitely use the alliance tab to new guys. It's pretty much a goon alliance.

Guilds join together under an alliance. It's a guild of guilds.

Lots of MMOs do it so that you can visit the other guilds in the alliance and benefit from them having upgraded everything if your guild hasn't. There might be more to it with Warframe.

Essentially Alliance just casts to all connected guilds, not just the one you're signed up to.

So I started this up and spent my initial 150 premium currency on consmetic poo poo, but then it turns out you have to buy inventory slots!? The collector in me is extremely nonplussed. Is there a way to unlock more via gameplay or is this the point where I fork over for plat?

It’s one of the few things you need to fork over plat for, sadly.

Technically you can get a (very) few of them by getting quest reward weapons and frames, then selling said weapons and frames for credits, but that is generally a very bad idea. The good news is, it is pretty easy to make enough plat to keep yourself rolling in inventory slots by selling junk prime parts when Baro comes around.

Bobby Deluxe

Slots only cost about 20 plat, and you can earn that selling rare mods from alerts / nightmare on trade. Console trading is not generally as good as PC but it's still possible to make enough to buy plenty of slots.

Oh Jesus yes that's annoying. Especially when the map moves relative to your cirsor, so you can't srlect any of the planets around the edge of the map, at least not without loving about with the hypersensitive zoom.

Same here, although mostly because I was using Amprex with combustion beam on infested maps. That thing is obscene and should not be allowed.

This is also with the resolution turned down to 720p, since I don't want to turn my spare bedroom into an oven in this heat.

So I was thinking of just buying that Nyx prime bundle to bypass the grind since she's one of my favorite frames to play as. I went to see how much the Limbo prime pack was to get an idea and at that price I think I'll slog through relics instead.

Azzanadra

The vault packs are way less, usually it’s around $60 for the combo pack when they’re unvaulting two frame packs.

That said with plains bounties dropping whatever the most recent relics are buying the primes outright is probably a bad idea anyway.

I only bought the Limbo pack because priming the most hated frame is funny as hell.

I've got a 75% off coupon on PS4, can these be straight up sold on trade, or is it a multiple step process?

I'm a little annoyed because if I was on PC I could use this to get the Rhino Prime pack 75% off, right? If there's any way of doing that on console then I'll absolutely go for it, but I'm not sure you can.

My understanding is that coupons on console are for a single purchase from the market. They cannot be sold or traded.

On PC they're for a single platinum purchase. Only plat. You cannot use them on Prime Access or unvault packs like Rhino. They also cannot be traded or sold (although you can trade the plat, of course).

Well that makes me feel better about it anyway. I'll probably buy a normal frame and then grind for rhino.

This game is really cool and I'm glad I saw this new thread pop up because I just got into this like a week ago as a Destiny 2 refugee and felt kind of daunted by that huge thread from before. Only a few days away from getting my first Prime frame and I should probably send an invite to one of these PS4 clans! Thanks for the new thread!
