What frame would you like to combo your weird gun with?

There's a lot of off meta weaponry that shines in a Mag bubble, though I'd say it's still hard to beat the Exergis here.

People are playing around with the combo of the Mutalist Quanta's alt fire with Vauban's nail grenade.

The kuva Nukor is a pretty strong status printer with a surprisingly large area of effect, make it spam the hell out gas procs and watch people's games crash. Fair warning you might crash too. Granted this may have changed with the change to gas procs.

The zekti and pox are pretty great status secondaries. I feel like the Battacor doesn't get the lip service it still deserves, burst fire rifle/opticor combo. The Miter can chop a surprising amount heads as long as they aren't highly armored, and it's syndicate augment messes up nullifiers quick.

Thanks, I think I’ll do something with the Battacor. Are the Zekti and Pox still good with the recent patch?

I had corrosive on every gun because I don't spend that much time hanging out in 4-corpro stacks with goons, and when enemies actually had armor corrosive was like 10x better than every other damage type combined.
And when you have 4x corpro you don't need to worry about the effectiveness of different damage types that much anyway because the enemies are squishy enough to kill with whatever.

Now armor scaling is nerfed apparently to make corrosive not so mandatory? I haven't experimented a lot with high level enemies since the patch but I'll just trust goons and hop on the viral wagon.

See, in the past, hunter munitions/viral was always kind of overrated, often times you were better off matching your element to the enemy armor, type. So I'd use a corrosive primary and a radiation catchmoon for most content, which was ferrite/alloy armor.

But then enemy armor scaling was decreased, meaning armor matching was less important. The ability to apply slash procs the "honest" way was nerfed, meaning HM became stronger comparatively. Corrosive element was nerfed to no longer full strip. The final result was that HM/Viral, a strong albeit slightly overrated combo in the past, has now become the overwhelming dominant meta for primaries.

I'm not sure I like this change.

You forgot the part where viral was buffed by being able to stack to a maximum of +325% damage.

The multishot alone makes it solid, but I'd reroll to get multishot + crit and/or status instead of punch through.

I got -68.1% weapon recoil, +37.2% reload speed, and +102.6% critical chance. Should I go with that, or keep the previous stats?

EDIT: I went ahead and kept the multishot since it tends to do better.

Warframe didn't exsist in the 80s so Kiryu couldn't watch it and think it was rad and copy it before he became to old to learn new tricks.

New prime access on March 31st, so get your limbo, pyrana, and destreza prime all now

https://www.warframe.com/news/ivara-prime-access-ends-march-31

edit: this video shows a way to sort of get all the relics for new prime items the day it comes out, haven't tried it yet:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P_uo7rovPs

long story short, start running syndicate missions and farming the insignia per mission, wait till the prime comes out on day one, spend all the insignia on standing, spend all the standing on relic packs from your chosen syndicate, and the majority of those relics should have the new prime items.

I haven't tried this out yet, so maybe someone with more experience can weigh in

I've done this a bunch (burned up to 5-600k standing on relic packs) and results are mixed. It's nice if you want to start insta-radstaggers and sell any drops (or even sets if you're lucky and persistent enough) in the first hours when prices are still crazy - and if you got nothing to spend your capped standing and want to make plat that's likely the way to go - but if (and this has been inconsistent) the new prime relics are dropped into guaranteed bounty rewards that's a much faster and usually more reliably way to pick up a couple for a few shares on day 1. So if i just want to leisurely pick up the frame and maybe a dupe set over the next few days that's usually what i prefer.

Depending on how fast the price comes down it might be less rng-reliant to sell syndicate mods or something for plat and then buy the parts, but i've never bothered to do that much trading.
