Corruption can be 200% (multiplicative iirc) warframe strength, which you can snapshot with some frames, like Chroma.

carrier is very useful if you want to use ammo hogs without constantly burning ammo restores. eventually, the cost of mass-producing pizzas of all types becomes trivial and you can ditch carrier. carrier has no particular benefit over any other sentinel while using ammo-efficient guns.

ammo mutation mods aside from carrier aren't recommended, because you have to give up your precious mod space for one that doesn't even make your gun hurt gooder.

What are peoples though on strain mods btw? I have a nidus/helminth/lesion cosplay setup with all the strain mods, but incant really tell if it does anything other than spawn some maggots...

I like them because they are neat thematically and I love my huge spaghetti hound. Seriously her head touches the top of the animal factory to begin with, and the cysts make her grow even more. The crit damage buff from the set is actually quite good for Khora in particular since it affects her whip. The uptime is kind of misleading if you go by the description though. It makes it sound like it will build up to 8 stacks, and then immediately reset, but what it actually does is build up to 8 over 24 seconds, stay there for 25 seconds, then spawn larvae and start over. The Warframe mod is the ultimate tax though. I can't imagine how it could be any more inconsequential. Also, in infestation missions randoms will constantly shoot at the dog and the larvae which is maybe worth it by itself.

Atomos modding - better with Seeker for punch-through, or Ruinous Extension for range? Or maybe just another 60/60?

I would use this:


Note that it should require significantly fewer forma without the Primed mods. If you don't have Jolt, just toss on another 90% mod, they're better DPS below level 80-100 or so anyways.

Because at MR 2/3/4 you simply do not understand how that translates to mission/enemy level when you're looking at the star map picking a mission to do. Until you just learn that it doesn't mean anything and your MR5 doing sorties in a tank Rhino and pimped out Hek.

I just want to quote this for anyone thinking of trying out the game, and history. We say this all the time and here is a goon fresh to the game saying the same thing. That's how you tenno. Start up the game, get confused, belly flop into the confusion, make some gear that feels super good in a week or three and plow through 'end game' content, learn you have 80% or 90% of the game left to discover and play through.

Cool, thanks I'll give it a spin.
Got Jolt, but I'm still a ways off primed mods. I'm probably going to wait until I have a gently caress load of endo (and credits) before getting some, but that's going to take a while

I'm out of ducats after getting the Supra. Well, I could sell a couple more things, but they're parts that I might use, so I'll just wait it out.
If I get a 75% thing any time soon again I might get some with plat though.

The infinite ammo comes from a randomly applied buff to one of your weapons (or warframe) upon collecting 10 reactant in a relic cracking mission. Warframes get a ton of power strength, melees get super cheap channeling (lol), and guns get infinite ammo for the duration.

That wasn't a riven. When you do a fissure mission (the ones where you crack relics) you're trying to collect 10 reactant. When you hit 10 reactant you get a random buff to either one of your weapons or your frame:

quote:

Upon collecting 10 Reactants, the player receives a buff to one of their equipped gear which gets corrupted for an amount of time based on the tier of the Void Fissure (time = 30sec × tier). The buffed gear will emit lighting bolts and gets a corrupted texture effect.

Corrupted Warframes receive a 2x multiplier to Ability Strength and Ability Range.
This affects the total value, meaning with a maxed Intensify for 130% Ability Strength will turn into 260% while the buff is active.
Primary and secondary weapons receive unlimited ammunition and no longer need to reload.
Melee weapons' Channeling costs are reduced to 1 point of Energy per enemy hit.

All of the full auto stuff is great with the weapon buff. But like Tulip points out the stuff with really low ammo and long reloads can be really silly sometimes, since you never have to begin reloading. Exergis and Tigris, Pox, the Amprex and Atomos, etc. All great fun, highly recommended.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I think it depends on which weapon because the Twin Grakatas or Prisma Twin Gremlins get way less time than the usual weapons.

Rivens don't give weird bonuses like infinite ammo or w/e, affixes that radically change how a gun works are almost exclusively the domain of augment mods. Rivens are pretty much just bigger numbers and a handful of quality-of-life functions like punch-through.

Yeah it's so true, I'm MR 21 and I have 1200+ hours in this game and I'm constantly learning new things, like this umbral Garuda build I just found that uses Magus Lockdown of all things to annihilate packs

the plus side of this game not documenting anything is that there's always stuff to learn

How the gently caress does Profit taker work, I just got obliterated by homing missiles until my teammates couldn't rez me. And yes I was trying to dodge the missiles.

What weapons and loadouts should I be going for for fighting 100s, I see people just destroy them, but my Arca Plasmor just two shots things, I don't have any primed mods yet (Baro has been unkind on the PS4). I also need some help with survivability, Usually I run Gara, but I've been trying to get back into Saryn.


Looking forward to the next few days, got Garuda and Atlas brewing in the foundry. Once I level some trash weapons for MR (looking at you Akbronco), I have a few weapons to pull off of there too.

Bringing a tanky frame is the safe bet, if only until you understand the fight. If you don't know what you're doing, just keep clearing trash + kill police beacons.
The front of the Profittaker has the current weakness telegraphed, only that element will be able to damage her shield until 1) someone uses void damage so it cycles to the next random element or 2) you've done X% damage (thresholds seem 20% but could be wrong).

Shield breaks -> legs become vulnerable -> all 4 legs down -> body becomes vulnerable -> she poops out 4/6 shield generators into the air which you have to destroy to reset her invulnerability. Repeat until dead.

I prefer Arca Plasmor running with Shotgun Spazz and Blast + Corrosive (and innate Radiation). Catchmoon for Impact/Gas/Cold and Redeemer for Viral/Heat. Though the latter is only really viable on Mirage and Chroma I'd say, maybe Rhino too.
That leaves fairly basic elements, Slash/Puncture/Toxic/Electric/Magnetic. Basically any pubby can do Slash/Puncture for you, skip the other 3 if you don't see shields getting damaged.

Most people run Inaros/Rhino/Chroma there. Personally I use Chroma, I pub them often too and I'd say at least 75% use those 3 frames, with Chroma and then Inaros being the most popular. Inaros/Rhino require way fewer mods to get tanky as gently caress though. Nezha's also good there I believe, though you don't see him often.
