Valkyr isn't great and Rip Line isn't an amazing super grappling hook, but I literally can't go back to other frames now that I've gotten used to moving around with it. I feel like my feet are made of lead when I can't simply grapple over a high wall or ignore an elevator in the void.

Also I really need them to buff the Tigris because it's incredibly fun to use even if it's total garbage.

It's like being lovely Warframe Spiderman - the good so very marginally outweighs the bad.

I die all the time with Valkyr, but I want her to be good so very badly.

I also got a Dark Sword blueprint from some alert mission, doesn't look like you can buy it so I'm going to make it for special snowflake points. I also got Flow and Streamline today which I assume will be useful at some point.

That's quite the impressive haul for one day. I've been playing since U7 and it took me 100+ hours clocked before I stumbled across Flow on a Grineer mobdef. Didn't get Lethal Torrent until last week and I paid 10 plat for it.

As a new player who just looked up what 'zorencoptering' is, is there a good reason I shouldn't craft some zorens just for giggles?

The Lecta whip released with U11 has a slightly different form of zorencoptering (hold melee, go farther) and as a bonus is passable and fun to use in case you want a transportation method that doesn't need a crit build to be most effective as an actual weapon. I recommend building it when you can.

Question about extractors: I've been cycling extractors through Europa for a few days now and only seem to get rubedo. Not really complaining since I have 5,000+ now (and I remember when rubedo was the bottleneck resource), but do extractors ever mine rare system resources or is it just uncommons? I think I may have gotten control modules once because I cheesed an extractor sometime between having 3 modules (two days ago) and 23 modules (current total) and haven't really been farming them apart from a few T2 runs and one Hyena run.

If it's uncommons, I need to go after polymer bundles and stop wasting my time looking for free morphics.

For me the real pain is rank 4-6. It's going to take me a long time to get to rank 6 and I don't see any weapons to tide me over until then. There's the dojo stuff, but I don't have a clan, so I can't get those. It's weird how they have no new weapons for rank 5 at all.

This is a long and lonely stretch. I got through it back in U8 when more weapons were purchasable with credits, but it took me two Saturdays with affinity boosters plus having bought the Female Warframe pack just to accelerate things and I still barely had enough things to level. So many junk weapons ground out and resold.

Since we're all asking for weapon suggestions, what's a good late-game/end-game secondary?

I've been using a kunai this whole time and it will mow down everything except harder enemies in the later voids/missions, and I feel like I shouldn't rely on it forever. I'm leveling up an ignis that I've built on a random suggestion and liking it a lot so far, so the idea is that I will finally have a primary weapon I can switch to while I level a secondary that doesn't suck. I realize that getting the best out of a weapon will also involve me having the proper mods and all but what are some I should look at?

Despair (Stalker drop, Kunai upgrade) is my go-to secondary for absurd T3 survival missions and/or since I built it in U9. Barrel Diffusion + Lethal Torrent + Gunslinger + Hornet Strike + elemental mods. Tears things apart and is by far worth the resources if you can get it to drop.

Twin Vipers will kill things and your ammo reserves in direct proportion. Twin Gremlins are a personal favorite of mine as well. Magnus looks good, but I haven't built it yet. Acrid used to be the god of pistols, but U11 killed it.

E: Highly recommend maxed Pistol Ammo Mutation on all of these guns.

Ok, cool. Thanks. I have a couple hundred plat left over so I don't mind forma-ing it if that's the way to go. I am relatively new to this, I assume I use a potato on it first?

Yes, to double the mod capacity, but potatoing a weapon is not necessary in order to forma it. It's just the smart way to go about things.

Also, don't buy forma. Run T2/T3 survival Void runs with other goons and get up to your eyeballs in Forma and Forma BPs.

I didn't know about the latter until last week when I racked up two Forma and three BPs doing runs to get Mag Prime parts.

I really like Carrier's vacuum ability, but I'm definitely a shotgun guy and don't want to share my mods or make two sets. What's the next best Sentinel weapon? I know Carrier will still only attack enemies at close range, so I guess something that takes that into consideration.

Considering that status effects are now procs, the old suggestion of Shade's pistol with freeze damage is null and void (Shade has a comparable range), especially if you don't want duplicate pistol mod sets. You don't really want the Deth Machine Rifle because of its spin-up time. If you're looking to maximize damage output, I don't know the numbers on the Laser Rifle, but since you won't be using the rifle mods on your own primary it'd be my suggestion with the caveat that you should really reconsider the shotgun.

e: if you're willing to buy a Hell's Chamber for ~10plat from pubbies or strike a deal with a goon, that and Accelerated Blast and Point Blank would be enough to justify using the shotgun IMO. Goons will likely give you Accelerated Blast for free; I'll do it myself if you can't find any takers by late tonight assuming you're on PC.

So apparently this event is happening. I'm away from my PC until 12/28, so I'll miss it entirely, but is there anything mod-wise that will be handed out that I'll need to haggle for when I get back? I'm OK with missing Wraith Twin Vipers because this game is still too much easy shootmans for me to care about missing a trophy weapon when I have most of the non-event endgame guns + biggest clantech guns + Strun Wraith, but it'd be nice to know if I want to chase mod X or Y.

In all the hours of playing this game i've never seen anyone actualy shoot stuff whilst wallrunning anyway.

I think the wonky trajectory you come off wall runs at ruins that possibility. Also, I can't think of a single instance where I was both wallrunning and surrounded by enemies I needed to shoot. Wallrunning has been limited to a method of gap traversal and occasional shortcutting - it's still cool, but it doesn't really fit into any gunplay that isn't shooting Ogris/Penta and moving away so you don't die (in which case why aren't you using a frame with movement abilities?).

As you get to the L25-30+ planets, you'll eventually get to where Pull's damage is insignificant on heavies and trash mobs alike. Respec for power effiency (Streamline and Fleeting Expertise) and power range (Stretch and Overextended) and ragdoll multiple rooms ahead of your party.

Nova is always the correct answer to this.

Set your effect color to pink and max out Molecular Prime and Stretch. Your group will absolutely hate you; but you will turn every defense/survival mission into a joke.

Fake edit: And when you are standing at extraction with a Banshee who is spamming her shout you can drop your Worm Hole on her and send her away.

+1 on the Worm Hole love. Also, Nova + Vauban on T3 mobdef is a dynamic light show. I brought a Frost and Synapse and two unranked weapons to soak up XP and just watched. If you're looking to level off of another player's work, invite a Nova to survival/defense. As long as you're not going in with a "level this thing only" mentality (which, in terms of efficiency, you shouldn't be), M Prime is a fun thing to be around.

That sounds like a decent plan. How does taxiing work in regards to my frame level? I still don't have a good sense of progression in the game. How does it work if I only have access to level 5-10 areas for leveling and I get taxied to a level 20 area with the frame parts I need?

Play with a full group and stay farther away from mobs, but within the 100m tether range for XP gain. You'll do just fine since most missions that have you on the move are led by 1-2 people on point with everyone else catching up and picking off straggler enemies (this is mostly due to the frequent gulfs in player level).

At this point, :10bux: and goonclan access has the potential to set most new players up fairly quickly. Start with Mag, buy Volt + Loki, taxi to boss levels for future part runs, taxi to a few quick Void runs for a credit stash, acquire Serration + Hornet Strike spares from clan members, parse out remaining plat (70+) for "essential" mods as needed - Flow, Streamline, etc.

Well, having players do the same boring boss mission 100 times (some people claim to have done more than 200 to get a systems BP) to get that one final crafting component is also pretty asinine! Makes me want to hold off on this game until it gets out of "Beta" so maybe there will be bit more content to offset the grinding. Right now the content/grind ratio seems pretty weighted since you're doing the same stuff in the same areas against the same enemies repeatedly, especially for new items.

You should have been here before frame BP drops were guaranteed. Kill boss, get Detonite Ampule.
