Pick left 3 or right 3. Pick the ones with the mods you like most. Left 3 is the more popular ones because they're "bad guys turn good", weird zen cult and autisric robot. Right 3 is less terrible space capitalist, crazy bdsm cult and space supremacists. But because they're less popular, their stuff are less avilable in the market so you could sell for higher price.

They're 10% and 2x, so I'd say more like Boltor Prime.

Everything can be traded for except the pizza recipes and the syandanas, so I say pick left three or right three depending on which syandana(s) you like.

10% and 2x makes crit a viable build for rifles.

What could possibly go wrong?
Oh man, sortie 1 (Interception Eximus Stronghold) is great for affinity farming.
Bring one good weapon and warframe, capture all four points at start, and then hold only A and B.

With the 2x EXP booster you can go from 0 to 30 for the other two weapons in one run.

When a problem comes along,
you must whip it.
The wiki says that Titania's Dex Pixia has a 15% base crit chance, 25% base status chance, and only inherits standard mods like other exalted weapons. So no shotgun specific ones.
It could be wrong of course.

I just got Braton Prime and am loving the status chance.

Am I wrong in thinking that corrosive + blast would be a serious killer on here by constantly knocking enemies over and stripping their armor?

I know it would take a few forma but I'm tired of Soma and Tonkor.

Only if no one is bringing CorPro and you're fighting not-Corpus. It's still the safest build to bring to PUGs. I personally prefer a Viral in there for the health proc. Braton Prime is a very good, underappreciated weapon. The devs just crippled it a bit (for some reason) by cutting its ammo pool. It used to be bigger, 500-ish like the standard, then they just took a dump on it when they upped its base damage. I don't know what it was for since even if they didn't nerfed the ammo, it wouldn't compete with any other weapon since Soma (Prime) would still outclassed it.

It does have drawbacks, mostly against Infested, I've noticed. The melee-homing tends to slam you into the floor when it tries to home in on the shorter mobs like Crawlers and you lose all your momentum.

I made it through the first three missions or so last night. How is this game not more popular? I looks amazing and appears to be super fun.

Excal w/ bow is like a Genji/Hanzo hybrid that just one-shots everything from a distance so all my missions where completed in stealth.

The controls are a smidge wonky and I might have to go reassign some buttons so it makes more sense to me but I think I am definitely bought into this game.

Can't wait to see what kinds of guns and stuff I get as I progress the story.

I applied for the Goon Clan. I know literally nothing and it is hard for me to grasp stuff without seeing it in practice. However, I assume that upon being invited I will have access to some sort of terminal that lets me shuffle through already researched blueprints for Weapons and Warframes and craft them at my leisure?

Also, do the blueprints require rare as heck materials or are they all craft-able via the same set of common mats just in different quantities.

Welcome to the game and, when Helter processes your invite, to the clan.

Lesson 1: Never make bets with Tallgeese.

Lesson 2: Never pay any mind to Tallgeese's demands of maximum efficiency while farming.

... in fact it's probably better if you interact with him as little as possible :v: you're correct about the blueprints access, in the dojo, and the blueprints vary widely in their requirements

My Soma Prime has been very underwhelming so far, but I only have 2 Formas and lack critical delay, heavy caliber, and argon scope.

It doesn't really have a reason to exist except occasionally Lephantis since I have a 4 forma Tonkor.

I think with one forma the Braton is outpacing Soma Prime already.

Don't use critical delay on the Soma.

Rather use Shred and/or Bladed Rounds.

Wilkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome.

This clan is pretty great I have to say. Everyone is generally pretty chill and there's almost always someone around to run stuff with. If there's a part you're missing a goon will almost always help you get it if not just straight up give it to you. Plus our Dojo is amazing.

If you're on PC I'm Grampageoff in game- hit me up if you see me. I'm always happy to shoot mans and get shiny prizes.

The different potions spawn the different specters. You can use whatever Apothics you have but the specters have different droptables. The potions are a little like dragon keys, as in if you equip one you cant use another at the same time, you can have 2 of the same one. Bring a Pilfdroid and a nekros for 3x drops per specter. Ivara doesn't work on the specters. A optimal group with 8 Apothics and a Pilfdroid + Nekros can squeeze 24 mods out per run.

Split Chamber. Anything Critical. Once you get enough Formas into it go get Flight speed put on it because it basically turns it into a bow. Mine does pretty well to level 70 or so and I don't have any of the really rare mods.

Also there is nothing more joyous or better for your DPS than landing direct hits across Void maps with a flight speeded Tonkor

The devs are still refusing to do any mainstream marketing promotion. They have more money than they needed and even spent them on making an official convention in North Canadistan a few months ago. It's also a boon to them where they could avoid scrutiny from places with big audiences for the fact that the game development is rather all over the place with no clear goal (which might be a good thing) or into flamewars with Destiny fanbase (if there is anyone actually bothered to defend Destiny). I mean, like, poo poo, you got into this game for the shooting and slashing and sliding around but then suddenly you'd ran into spaceman rocketpack battles and maybe play a ball game?

I was actually a huge Destiny player and am looking forward to the Expansion coming out next week. However, my biggest gripe was always "I wish this game was 3rd person."

I think I might be cancelling my Destiny pre-order. I might just slot the money into this for "potatoes" or whatever.

Proto Rhino's story is in Rhino Prime's codex entry, it involves Proto Rhino of course, some scientists, a guard who gets eaten, and is about how they discover the Tenno kids can control Warframes.

The miner getting a lucky shot with the power hammer story is in Lancer scan lore (Simaris room), involves worker Grineer and a sentient, and is about how military Grineer started being cloned.

The first Grineer rebels story is Arid Eviscerator scan lore, involves worker Grineer, Orokin officials, and Infestation, and is about how the Grineer rebellion started from Grineer workers rather than military Grineer.
The Guardsman scan lore continues that story, with the hostage Orokin official-turned-pilot working out an agreement with the Grineer rebels, giving them access to Orokin facilities, and becoming accepted as a Grineer herself, implying that she is the source of all female Grineer.
