Oh man, this freaking game. Gotta love some Space Rambo Ninjas.

What's a good upgrade from the Braton Vandal? I love the way it handles but would like a change of pace.

If you want to try something different, pick up a shotgun. Hek if you have the mastery level, sobek or strun otherwise.

Sobek's Mastery Locked too. I'm only rank 2 in, like, a good 20+ hours of play so I'm not exactly sure how the hell I'm supposed to get there anytime soon.

Strum isn't really impressing me either. Maybe it's just because it's a new gun and my Braton was rank 28.

So hey, just noticed they added Achievments for this on steam. When did that happen?

Also, on the subject of Rhino, what does a good loadout look like for him if you want to just beast everything in the game? I've got a Strun I've almost leveled to full, have a Scindo BP I need to get galium for and I don't really know where to go for a Secondary on him.

So after some very, very basic experimentation playing with modding my Braton Vandal and listening to the Prime Time stream it seems like trying to slap piercing hit on and have it do anything just no longer works.

My Braton has a puncture of 2.0 base. Add a fully leveled Piercing hit and that goes up to a whopping 2.8

According to the streamers, Damage 2.0 works by adding all three damage attributes together in which case I've done basically nothing compared to upping my braton's Impact damage, it's main damage source.

So... Bigger Numbers/Elemental Damage? Maybe it's just a matter of kitting the gun out for whatever effect you want now? I wouldn't mind it being a sort of Borderlands-lite thing where everything is effective but some things are more effective against certain enemies. Lets you just do what you want and shoot all the mans.

That said, I kinda hope they add some sort of UI element in the modding menu to let you know which effects you have active.

Edit: Judging from the goon rage last night when the Red Text was making jokes, I'm not sure a mumble party would work out.

Hey guys, can I get a re-invite into the clan? I was away for a while because my computer went and died on me but I have a new one and am really liking what they did with Melee 2.0.

I went through the Google Form too if that helps any.


Edit: drat that was quick. Thanks!

On a more In-Game topic did they change anything about Armor or is it still absolute poo poo?

So did they literally just nerf excal because of viver? why not fix viver instead? or even better, fix the stupid lovely rep system instead. grinding up 22,000 rep on regular missions at like 100-200 rep per mission just so i can gain the privelage to buy friggin large health restores for even more rep is not fun.

Withe the new Prime Access and my usual lack of any kind common sense, I now have a great deal of Platinum and nothing to spend it on, having got most everything in the game you can get with plat. So in the spirit of the season, I will be gifting things from the store to people in the clan who post in the thread!


Leave your in-game name in a post and your mastery rank. If you are under Mastery 6, pick three things in the store and I'll get them for you! Limit one Warframe, and I'll throw in some slots and a potato of your choice too.


Anyone over Mastery 6 can pick one thing, and I'll throw some slots and potato too.


I'm going to put a limit on the number of warframes I'll buy, cause they're hella expensive and I'd like to see this plat go a distance. Lowbies get priority.


Merry Christmas, make sure to give'em hell out there. :tfrxmas:


edit: Sorry to anyone on PS4 or Xbone, but I can't send anything your guys way as I'm on PC! :(

double edit: I've been struggling to find any way to gift slots to others, I think I would have to give you guys the plat directly for it for you guys to buy them with. Pain in the rear end to do, enough so that I'd probably just deal in potatoes unless you folks happen to be on when I get on at the same time.

You are an awesome, awesome person.

My in game is CronoSMagnum and I'm rank 7. If you can swing it, I'd like a Mesa but if that's a bit much, I'll instead ask for the Tenno color palette.

Shame about the Slots being a problem. They're what I actually need.

Anyways, Thank you no matter what!

I offered in game, but I'll make the offer again here.

I have arcane versions of Hemlock, Essence, Espirit, Flux and Coil that, frankly, I have not had any freaking luck selling. I am horrible at trading and it is christmas. If any of ya'll want one, let me know.

Please, unless you plan on gifting it to another goon, one helmet per request. I only have one of each.

So I was just doing a T4D with a group of goons. We get to wave 20 and everyone decides it's time to cash out.

I selected leave with the rest of them but at about 2 seconds left the game suddenly migrated hosts.

I too struggle with cores, but I maxed out Serration from the Tubemen event alone. That was the event to be there for. I pulled in...
200 Silver R5 Cores
150 Gold R5 Cores
200k Credits
1 Orokin Catalyst BP

This highlights pretty much my biggest problem with DE's methods.

Events are great and all, but if you miss them or are taking a break from the game you get put so far behind the curve that you'll almost never catch up.

They had a good idea with putting the event mods on Vor, but I feel like they need to make the rest more available in some capacity. Unless I'm missing something and there's ways to get them that don't cost hundreds of plat.

I think maybe they want you to potato it with the one from the first Survive or Die?

Either way, I don't mind. These Survive or Die alerts have been tense and awesome. I brought my Equinox along last time with one of the guild's Resonance Banshees and made everything die while desperately leaping around trying to avoid death.

I tried doing the second one with 15 minutes left and everybody else in the pub group sucked; two of them wound up leaving, and I wound up doing like 20 times as much damage as the other guy with a rank 11 potatoed Hek. We failed at wave 13. It was terrible.

Man, Pub groups can get really Hit or Miss.

I've never had this huge of a problem with them though I did once have a pub Rhino that just could not stay on his feet in one of the early Survival missions. I mean he was dying every minute or so. I give him the benefit of a doubt and assume he didn't have Iron Skin unlocked yet in that match.

Primaries only, also minus the Phage.

That brings up a question for me. I bought the Phage way back when Shotties were still bad because I was trying to do this whole "No Physical Damage/Elemental Madness" thing with my Valkyr and her Dual Ichors. Everyone said the Phage was like super good and stuff but I never quite got how it was supposed to work.

I get that it focuses in when you Aim, but I never understood what made it such an amazing thing that it out of every other shotgun in the game at the time was "good". And now it also didn't get buffed, so am I just missing something?
