Belated comment on the "railjack boarding weapon" subject: the Shedu modded for Corrosive is still highly effective in Veil Proxima, especially if you catch the boarders right as they're entering the railjack or if you trap them in CC. Granted, by the time you grind up a Shedu most people are about done with the current jackin' content, but we'll see what Scarlet Spear / The New War brings.

Seconding melee as the real answer though, put on Naramon and Drifting Contact / Body Count, max out your combo counter on the first crewship, then happily do whatever role you like, secure in the knowledge that you'll still have like 9x combo counter by the time you need to whip out your melee weapon again.

plenty of people with no experience on railjack have farmed shedu off goons who have end game ships so.

Sensible, tho I would suggest joining Discord because the game is not very good at explaining some things and being able to just ask about them makes everything simpler.

I'd say to mess around with the movement system to see if its you're cup of tea.
Jump, bullet jump, roll, slide and the various ways to combo them all together.

Also 2nd/nth'ing join discord, even if just to ask Dumb Newbie Questions. Something explained well in game is somewhat of a unicorn in rarity.

Seconding this.
Nobody really needs more than 1 copy of these mods, and all the old goons with huge playtimes have dozens. Either they melt them down for pennies worth of endo or they trade them to cute newbies and expand their collection of Ammo Drum cards.
When it gets to rarer but still-really-core mods like Fleeting Expertise, they're a little harder to get but you can still find goons to do vault runs with to farm one up, or occasionally people who have an extra and wanna give it away.

Okay, is there some reason I just don't grasp as to why Swirling Tiger isn't completely insane due to it's base combo? Hitting six times incredibly fast just obliterates enemies, even sortie enemies, with my old Dual Ethers modded for viral. I keep trying other melee weapons, most recently a Dragon Nikana trying both Decisive Judgment and Blind Justice, and they just cannot match the absurdity of the blender. I'm assuming it's because other stances are based on bigger individual hits, but Swirling Tiger's flurry of light attacks stacks viral immediately.

The Nikana series is really good for stacking slash procs while also having decent reach and attack speed. Nik P can even be modded to have over 100% crit chance rate. A lot of people find dual blades eh because of the awkward stances for them, but if you got something that works for you don't let anyone else stop you!

It's got top tier damage as far as bullet hoses go, just be aware that it has a 50% damage falloff at long range.

2 forma will fit a very solid viral/HM build on the Baza Prime and is where I'd actually recommend stopping unless/until you have a riven or Primed Cryo Rounds.

Good to know - I think I'm missing some relatively efficient mods (like I only have the toxin and heat 60/60s for example) so maybe I'm trying to get more capacity than I need with optimal mods.

I think you only need the elec 60/60 mod more. I never really found the cold one a necessity. Sadly I think the elec ones are event rewards or baro

Since they added weapon exilus mods I just put hush on already existing bullet hoses. there's no amazing must have exilus mods anyways.

That being said I love the baza prime, there's something about it's animation and sound that is extremely satisfying

Cold 60/60s aren't too hard to farm if you wiki their locations (mostly spies I think?). But remember you can always ask people in Clan if they have spares of any mod. The answer might be no, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Baza P is also very accurate if I recall correctly, so it has advantages in some cases over say, Soma Prime. If you like the gunfeel, almost any gun is worth putting forma into. I bet there's a Seer fanatic out there somewhere.

I think the elec 60/60 drops from hive caches.

pork never goes bad
May 16, 2008

Yeah elec 60/60 for rifles and shotguns is a like 5% chance from third hive cache. The pistol one is Baro only now! The other three aren't too hard to get - I'm finding spy missions hardest to learn but I'm getting there, and corrupted Vor is kinda tough, but if my frame has high dps or is tough then it's not so bad. I'm getting to the point where I need to make a list of mods I need and where to get them - I default to questing, progressing the star chart, or Hydron pretty much every time I log on and things are getting hard enough where I should really farm up a few more mods. Particularly for frames, pistols, and shotguns.

I also checked my Baza - I only have 1 forma in so far, because it starts with a polarity. It's definitely my favorite gun to use - the gunfeel is so great, it's pinpoint accurate, it procs so much hunmun, and the silent is just a bonus. I am more effective/lethal with some other guns, but between Baza Prime, Hek, and Ignis Wraith I feel like I have a great gun in 3 main styles - bullet hose, one-shot one-kill, and, uhh, death hose.

Brother, have you heard the good word about the Fulmin? It's a silent, electric gun with infinite ammo that fires 3m wide "bullets" that have 3m punch-through. Alt-fire removes the silencer and turns it into a full auto noisemaker. Groups of enemies die with an incredibly satisfying *crunch*. I have a hard time using anything else these days, though my silenced Kuva Nukor is getting an awful lot of playtime.

potato all your weapons problem solved

For real though, that is a valid concern. All three were primed, so got a potato by default, I'm not sure I'd have chosen a lich mission if the weapons and frame were less well modded. Might've done a nice chill Lith fracture or something.

Note thar your jellyfishframe doesn't have to be married to Baza. Any gun can fit Hush in its exilus slot, with enough forma.
