The only thing you specifically need for Exploiter is to be tanky, Rhino will do. You can matchmake for it via the bounty from Eudico in the back room, though you may need to be max rank in Fortuna to get that, I am unsure.

I'm most often Rhino Prime, so this should work out. :thumbsup:

Profit Taker requires you to go through a series of missions that unlocks the use of archguns on the ground. Having a not poo poo archgun (that is, not the starting one) is good, don’t put a gravimag in the starting one lol get a good one, don’t be lazy.

Uh-oh. :ohdear:

Otherwise being tanky again is good, a Chroma can solo it. You do need to be max rank in Fortuna and it has matchmaking via the bounty.

I should learn how to play Chroma. I have the Prime version, after all, and people seem to talk about it as one of the more major-league frames. Like, one-shotting eidolons and so forth.

Thanks for the info. :tipshat:

ProfitTaker has match making, if you have access to heists.

Exploiter doesn't have proper queueing so you'll need to form a group for it in clan or recruiting.
E: oh okay maybe it has matchmaking now

The Profit-Taker fight is more difficult and, even though this got nerfed, has a ton of knockdown. You need an archgun you can use of the ground to attempt it. While this fight is hectic and you'll be moving around a bunch for different phases, but it's no where near as chaotic as eidolons and you have a decent chance of a pubbie chroma both annihilating all damage phases and doubling credits for the fight.

Exploiter is a lot easier and mostly just involves learning what to do, how the fight works, rather than involving any dps checks or survival tactics. Best advice here is to simply have a quick frame that isn't total paper and an accurate hitscan weapon with moderate range.

e2: Chroma and Mirage are THE buff gun damage frames. Imo Chroma is less interesting but he's more survivable and his buff is more consistent. If a team needs a huge damage buff for a damage phase then there's going to be at least one Chroma around, other options are entertaining gimmicks like taking out eidolons with Ivara or a Sarpa.

When I unlocked a ProfitTaker a while (~2-3 weeks) back, the matchmaking populated quickly enough but you'd still need to be prepared to functionally solo it. Which, at least for me, means always bring Chroma.

Multiple times other people weren't doing anything to the shield or the legs at all and in the end stage, i.e. the DPS check there were some instances of being hosed because people ragequitted and the only people with damage had their archguns on cooldown.

yeah thats pretty good


Chroma is the most user friendly solution to one of the few problems that rewards very tight optimization for very late game players.

Specifically: doing shitloads of damage to enemies that are immune to powers. Mirage can get higher numbers but her main survival mechanism has a big hole for large AOE and surprise Eidolons and Orb Moms do buckets of AOE, so Chroma is a lot more usable.

So...last night I was shooting the poo poo with a rando in Cetus and the subject of the large chunk of meat at the docks came up. She said that it was the most disturbing thing in the game. Well, I said, "Why is that? Cetus is a fishing village so this is probably where they get a lot of food from so it's probably a big whale or fish.

She then told me about The Unum. They worship and eat a living Orokin flesh tower!

Also the usual video game rumor/bullshit about it possibly being a randomized, endless dungeon in the future.

I somehow missed that in the Lore videos.

Yup. The tower also has Kuva as its blood and you can drink it. If you're important enough, the kuva lets the tower talk to you telepathically. Either assigning tasks to you, warning you of dangers or just telling you which bits of it is cool to cut off.
It's sold in Cetus as a beverage. Crack open a nice, cool bottle of technorganic supercomputer blood with the boys.

Updates from a noob: Played way too much last couple of days. Game has me hooked.

Really enjoying the combat loop in Warframe even if the map tiles seem to be repeating a lot so far.

Got the 3 Rhino blueprints in 6 Jackal runs which seems lucky to me, so good on that, building that ATM. Focusing on keeping stealth multipliers up whenever I can and hitting headshots.

Made it to Mars so far and following the Archwing questline after finishing both the Sanya/Glass Shard questline, and the Once Awake quest, which now has an egg incubating.

Love the movement in combat, tbh. Bullet jumping everywhere while trying to hit sick trickshots with the bow really speaks to the former Tribes player in me.

Should I be exploring every map and cracking open every supply drum and opening every supply container? Or should I just be breezing through to the objectives and extracting?

I've been dying a fair amount every mission and losing affinity to the revives.

Thanks again to all the kind Goons who posted their tips for new players! It could be collated to go into the OP.

Unambiguous: rush it. There are reasons to take things slow, but they're specific not general.

If you're dying a lot, roll more often. You take MUCH less damage when rolling and even aimgliding. Really lean into your Tribes play.

Smash what's in your way, and what you feel an urge to smash and open, the resources you get from them aren't nothing when you're starting out. Smashing containers is mostly useful when you start going to the Void, as those containers can have some really useful mods in (albeit mods you can probably get for free from goons).

Unless you're looking for something specific, you should be rushing. If you want resources you go to an endless mode and get them by killing truckloads of people, generally.

Also, don't play solo, although a lot of the map nodes won't have many people doing them.

And get in one of the clans ASAP, you can get help, gifts of stuff to help you start off like basic mods that every veteran, has huge piles of they don't need for anything, and there's a bunch of stuff you can only get from the research labs in the dojo. Which varies from "nice" to "mastery fodder" to "absolutely critical".

Warframe, in general, is played at a very fast clip. The slide->bulletjump->roll loop is how you're going to be getting around. Later on you'll have access to speedy frames that turn captures/exterms into 90-120 second runs and a couple of frames that can outright fly.

Rhino will definitely help with your death problem. Mag has a weakness to getting shot in the face.

Like everyone else said, join one of the clans. Also join Discord, where all the cool people chat and the uncool people post anime.

T1 Blastside/Broadside mortar jumping to the enemy base from your base. If you didn't get it right, you took off half your health, but if you got it right, it was enough to make it right into the door of the enemy base and ski in with 75% of your health + health kit.

Arguably getting a better weapon will solve the dying issue as well, especially if you're going solo. At around Jupiter you're going to want at least one good gun/melee that can kill enemies in less then a full clip. I usually grab one heavy single target gun and one rapid rife/aoe gun, as it covers a lot of bases.


Quick question for the "in the know" guys what vaulted frames are these guns associated with:

Vectis Prime
Akstiletto Prime
Duel Kamas Prime

Those are the last Primes I need to have all the prime junk mastered.

Free Your Mind
Combing maps is much more valuable early on, as you advance in the game there's less point in it. Specifically on earth you actually do want to comb the map because Neurodes are very important and hard to come by in the early game. Also if you do the quest Man of Few Words (you can access it by going into a Relay and finding a dude called Darvo), there's a mission on Uranus you want to comb cause it gives you early access to a few higher level materials.

Basically it's just a question of what pace you want to take the game at.
