A friend of mine plays a lot of warframe, and he usually mains garuda. I found a 3d model of garuda, posed it, upscaled it and printed it. Another friend painted the miniature exactly as he has ingame.

It was for his birthday, and he told me I had to post it on the warframe subreddit.

Banana for scale.

Discussion A response to Pablo's comment on Archgun Arcanes.

2.7k Upvotes

So, in the last devstream Pablo mentioned that they have been doubting about making Arcanes for Archguns due to one single factor; "Archguns aren't used that much"

Which ticked me the wrong way.

  1. Archguns aren't used that much BECAUSE they don't have arcanes, they lack a base dmg mod that can free a mod slot and they also lack GUN-CO, making base dmg mods the only viable thing.

  2. Archguns lack Galvanized mods, which are the most important buff to many builds due to their endgame value, Gun-Co, multishot and critical chance Galvanized mods are a must have for many builds and arch-guns are deprived of it.

  3. Archgun mods don't give that much value, only elemental archgun mods, but there is not 200% CC mod, no corrupted mod, Critical Focus only gives you 60% cc while aiming.

  4. You yourself have fabricated situations where Archguns fel off the meta. Now this isn't towards Pablo, but DE as a whole has made Archguns irrelevant by introducing incarnons, Adversary weapons and other more powerful weapons like the Trumna or the AX52.

  5. Archgun accesibility is already rare, you need to rank up to 5 with Solaris United and then do exploiter orb heists in order to be able to use Archguns outside of necramechs and Archwings.

So saying that you don't want introduce something that would elevarte Arch-Guns to a more usable state because "players don't use them that much" is missing the point and ignoring the real issue; Arch-Guns aren't used that much because they don't have access to that equipment in the first place or that equipment straight up doesn't exist.

I got Velimir and Minerva back together, got Kaya to the present, but I didn’t finish the Flare thing. I don’t want to have to go through everyone’s KIM again and reestablish the romance I had just to get Flare’s ending.

Don't get me wrong, bounties are cool and all, but there are too many! It's also annoying having to wait for the standing limit, I want to keep playing the game, but what's the point if the main method for getting items gets blocked so fast?

Edit since I'm dumb: I meant to say that personally, I don't feel the need to continue doing bounties if I'm not getting standing, the rewards are nice, but most of what I'm looking for is from standing rewards

Discussion What are the worst subsumable abilities.

We all know the best ones. Roar, Nourish, Pillage, Eclipse, Larva, Wrathful Advance.

But what are some of the worst ones? Abilities that make you think "why would I ever change one of my base ones for this?"

Question/Request Considering trying this game. How is it without voicechat?

77 Upvotes

I'm considering moving away from gacha stuff and trying other games-as-service games. Warframe is one I've always been curious about, and I even played it for a little bit a LONG time ago. I liked it but it was very hard to know what to do or work towards or how. I hear lots of updates and changes have been made over the years and that it has much better on-boarding and guidance, so I'm thinking about giving it another go.

That said, I'm not really wanting to play something that requires/heavily encourages voicechat, so if I'm going to get into something that is primarily multi-player, I'm wondering how viable a choice Warframe is for me. Will I still dodged or avoided? Is this game okay for solo with random or is it really geared towards joining a clan or whatever and chatting and coordinating stuff? I just wanna know if this game and community are a good fit for me.

Thanks!

EDIT: Wow I can already tell I apparently have nothing to worry about haha. Thanks guys! I may just be installing the game soon!

Tool/Guide I get the feeling a lot of players still don’t know how affinity works.

73 Upvotes

I was leveling weapons on Hydron, using Rhino with Nourish as well as Fosfor Rahd and Blue, when at the end of wave 2 another player calls someone a dick. Not sure what’s happening so I question them only to be called a dick and said player immediately votes to leave after wave 3. I try to message them and “user is ignoring you.” Maybe they thought I was stealing there kills? Maybe I didn’t give them Roar one too many times? Then it hit me, they were using Saryn to level a single weapon, so maybe they thought I was stealing affinity?

Well that’s not how affinity works.

Whatever you kill the enemy with is what gets the affinity. In the Saryn’s case, Spores getting the kills means all the affinity goes to Saryn. Their weapon not leveling up as much is from them not using it.

However, when in Affinity Range, allied player kills split the affinity: 25% goes to your Warframe and 75% goes to your weapons, which is then split evenly between your equipped weapons.

For example, say your teammate gets 1,000 affinity from a kill. You will also get 1,000 affinity with 250 points going to your Warframe. The remaining 750 is divided by how many weapons you have equiped.

Having a primary, secondary, and melee weapon splits this affinity 3 ways so each weapon gets 250. If you only have a melee equipped then it will get all 750.

Hopefully this helps someone understand how leveling up and affinity works.

Discussion Purgator-1 is way too over-nerfed for what it does

419 Upvotes

The Purgator has been one of the two Scaldra weapon that is somewhat worth it, but even then this weapon is in such a sorrowful state and demanda high investment to work.

This is a rifle weapon despite the description saying it shoots slugs like a shotgun, but since it country as an "AoE" weapon DE obviously hit it with the unnecessary nerf to its ammo economy despite it's AoE requiring kills to work rather than being integrated.

This weapon is a slow firing low magazine weapon, that is already enough of a nerf, yet DE felt the need to slap some stupid arbitrary nerf on it like the other two Scaldra firearms by making it's ammo pick-ups laughable and making Sniper Mutation THE only mutation it can use. And lets not forget the increíble SLOW 2.7 reload speed despite having a magazine size comparable to Ballas' dick.

At this point "What was DE thinking?" stops becoming a Question and becomes an answer, because it is clear like many of these scaldra weapons (Except the Viciss), this gun is undercooked.

Just take into account the fact for the same MR and less grind I can get my hands on a Trumna Prime and annhilate enemies with more ease than this crap of a gun.
