  • After giving it some thought since the announcement to re-open the sub, I arrived at the conclusion that I do not want to be a part of this community anymore, both on Reddit and Lemmy. This will be my last post here and I won’t see any replies but feel free to discuss anyway. Don’t worry, I won’t let the door hit me on my way out, but before they load and open (sad Volt main noises) I’d like to explain why.

    I initially didn’t care about Reddit blackout because I was using the official app, thinking the API changes won’t affect me, but since my favourite subreddit decided to join, I did some reading on it and I see why people decided to do the blackout. In order to support everyone participating, including r/Warframe, I also deleted my 7 year old Reddit account with over 200k Karma through the Redacted.

    While the people in the Warframe community both here and on Reddit are generally very nice, helpful, and I honestly like interacting with you, I do not want to support a community run by people who bailed on the blackout. I’m not interested in making my own community either because further splintering, albeit miniscule, doesn’t benefit anyone.

    I’ve read your reasoning for reopening but don’t agree with them. To me, they are excuses we as a community could work around and resolve but you decided to take the easy way out instead of working with us. We could go into the discussion about this in length but it wouldn’t change anything because the decisions have already been made and I’ve no interest in trying to change your mind as much as you don’t care about changing mine.

    Switching to Solo Mode.








  • I’m going to assume the weapon cannot have alt fire mechanic of any kind otherwise it would conflict with the Incarnon transformation. I would also prefer to avoid enemy faction related weapons since they can have a Lich variant instead. Lastly, I would prioritise weapons that don’t have any other variant (not sure whether to count Prime though).

    Here’s a list of potential candidate weapons that come to mind.

    Primary

    • Attica
    • Buzlok
    • Daikyu
    • Grakata (for Clem!)
    • Sybaris
    • Tigris
    • Veldt
    • Zhuge

    Secondary

    • Akzani
    • Ballistica
    • Fusilai
    • Gammacor
    • Sicarus

    Melee

    • Cadus
    • Cronus
    • Dragon Nikana
    • Endura
    • Gunsen
    • Heat Sword
    • Machete
    • Okina
    • Plasma Sword
    • Shaku
    • Tonbo

    Personal Wishlist

    • Tiberon
    • Opticor
    • Battacor
    • Gammacor
    • Paracesis
    • Orvius



















    1. Always do quests first. You unlock more options to use in your general gameplay through them.

    2. Incarnon weapons are meta right now. They get unlocked either through randomised Steel Path mode in Duviri, called Circuit, or through Zariman, which should be unlocked through one of the last available quests. Alternatively, you can opt to get yourself an adversary Kuva Lich (Grineer) or Sister of Parvos (Corpus), who have the second best weapons in the game. They are also unlocked through quests but rather early ones.

    3. Depends on what you want the frame to do. Nuke? Saryn. Survivability? Revenant. Speed? Titania. Ability damage? Protea. Support? Wisp. Defending? Frost. Stealth? Wukong (no really). Assassination? Ivara. Hotel? Trivago.

    4. See 2 and 3 but as long as it’s well modded and used properly, nearly anything can handle Steel Path.


  • Archon Hunts are the most difficult content available right now. If you don’t do enough damage you’re simply not ready to solo them. It’s a fact you have to learn to accept.

    It’s not your fault though, so don’t take it as a personal attack or anything. Warframe progression is completely stupid and often throws at you content you’re not ready for. Take open worlds for example. A new player has no way to handle PoE but the game sends you there when you’re like MR3. Archon Hunts are the same.

    To make matters worse, Archons have a rather unique defence mechanism to them which makes most weapons and abilities useless.

    So, from where you’re standing right now, you have 2 options.

    1. Get the Zariman weapons or Kuva Hek. Mod them for Radiation damage and pair them with Ivara or other stealth frame of your choice. Ivara provides additional damage boosting options though, so she’s the best for Archon Hunts. Give her Roar with as high strength and duration as you can and Rolling Guard for survivability. That’s all you need.

    2. Don’t try to solo it and ask for help. I understand you don’t want to feel like a leech and want to be useful but you don’t have to rely on damage alone to do that. Remember, Archon Hunts have perma death, so having someone who can heal, boost, and revive, is actually super useful there. I’m running a Vazarin Harrow Prime with Roar for support and it’s great. Damage buff, CC, CC buff, immortality, fast revives, all in one package.


  • For me, it has to be a combination of both the way the weapon feels and the way it performs.

    For example, Opticor looks, sounds, and feels great, but the damage has been powercrept by new weapons, and it feels really bad when something survives it. Everything should die to it in one shot.

    Currently, the weapon that fits all of these the most is Latron Prime. After getting Incarnon Genesis, it’s power is so high that if I take the time to aim for the enemy’s weakspot, it usually dies in one shot. If not, thanks to Double Tap, you get the satisfaction of seeing your damage steadily increase until the target is well dead and done.

    I’m hoping the new augment for Battacor will push it back to my #1 weapon.
