    Make sure you also equip the regular or prisma grakata in your primary slot. I don't remember if there's a grakata themed melee weapon but if there is you'll need that as well.

    There isn't afaik, but the Jat Kittag or dual cleavers are both Grineer weapons so you could go nuts with those.

    Of my current secondaries, my favorites are Twin Graks, AkLex, and Angstrum, in that order. The Grakata was the first gun I had built, so I'm glad they did something useful with it.

    Woops, late on that edit. Meant to say Angstrum over Atomos. Even though I kill myself repeatedly with it, there's nothing better for killing hordes from vantage points.

    I don't know if anyone has used the Ignis since the buff, but man, that thing kicks some major ass now. Makes the Atomos weep.

    They've been real busy with Chinaframe. Wukong isn't even out yet (for us anyways, I dunno about them), and we've already got a preview of their next frame. It definitely looks more interesting than Wukong IMO, though that might be because this trailer isn't hot garbage like that last couple they've done. Chinaframe stepping up their trailer game.

    So apparently there's an achievement for clearing a T4 Ext solo or with a squad with all headshots.


    Suggestions?


    So far I've read popping one guy with headshot and spamming irradiated radial disarms as loki throughout the level, but how can that take out Vor?

    I'd suggest perma-stealth Loki with a weapon that can one shot everything and leave before Vor spawns.

    Damn, picking new weapon is pretty annoying. You can't be sure how good a weapon is without a Catalyst. But if it turns out bad even with Catalyst, then you just wasted the thing.

    I just make liberal use of Warframe builder. Sometimes there might be some weird quirk of the weapon that'll make it perform far differently in practice than it does in the calculator, but the majority of the time it'll give you a good idea of how it'll perform.

    Too bad I can't exactly tell how good a weapon is just from the numbers. Though I'm chosing melee now, and I'm not extremely picky about it. Just need something to kill annoying Chargers and other trash during reloads.

    Kinda doubt it, as I was able to play other games without issues.

    In any event I just tried launching the game just now, and it finally patched.

    I would recommend the Galatine for straight killing things, and the Lecta for big ass AoE and status procs (great with Saryn). I feel like the Galatine is more or less just the best melee in the market place.

    Weapons I regret making: Khom, Harpak, Sobek, Ballistica, Stug, Twin Vipers, Glaive, Kama, Magistar, Obex.

    Weapons I particularly enjoy: Ignis, Drakgoon, Boar Prime, Tonkor, Supra, Twin Grakatas, Angstrum, Galatine, Bo Prime, Lecta, Jaw Sword

    Weapons I'm don't use anymore: Hind, Dread, Atomos, AkLex

    Wait...Sobek? Kohm? Regret?
    I have these weapons. I regret nothing.

    Angstrum on the other hand...

    The Khom feels pretty underwhelming as a shotgun. Low fire rate and limited by shotgun FR mods. I much prefer the Supra with Entropy Burst for a better feeling spooling weapon.

    I'm not going to say that the Sobek is bad, but it's not as fun as the Drakgoon or the Boarding Prime. It also feels more like a rifle to me, rather than a room clearing weapon. Regret was too strong of a word.

    The Angstrom is a garbage weapon, until you get the right ratio of fire rate and multishot. You also need corrosive on it so that it's less garbage against Grineer. Once you get that done, I think it's great.

    I really wanted to like the Obex, I used to run it just for the jump attack in parkour 1.0. I just can't justify it against other options.

    I realized that the reason my Orthos Prime wasn't good was because it didn't have a melee damage mod. Now I installed it and a couple of other mods, and it's pretty damn good now.

    Also, not sure about normal Ballistica, but Rakta one feels like a beast. Not like I really use it that often, but it's pretty damn powerful.

    I feel like the game would be better off if it lacked the standard hit-scan guns. Right now you just use the more interesting weapons for a change of pace, then bust out your old reliable rifle if you're doing something actually difficult. There are just so many cool things you can do that are made obsolete by rifle headshots.

    Perfect timing for double drops. My vast resource stockpile from the early days of the game have been dwindling for a whIle now. I don't have 2 polymer bundles to rub together, so there's very little I can craft right now.

    I need to get a few more prime parts to sell too, I almost have the ducats for the prisma veritux.

    Taken from the wiki...

    Comparisons:

    Rakta Ballistica, compared to the Ballistica:
    Higher base damage on un-charged shots. (75.0 vs. 25.0)
    Higher base damage on charge shots. (300.0 vs. 100.0)
    Larger magazine. (20 vs 16)
    Higher crit chance. (20.0% vs 15.0%)
    Innate Blight radial effect.
    Additional Madurai polarity.
    Silent.

    the rakta ballistica was heavily buffed this yeah, so in all respects it is superior to the ballistica unless for some reason the blight proc becomes a hindrance (going off while in a spy vault, for example)

    That'd probably just kill everything in its radius, so probably not a hinderance even then.
