  • Oof, was hoping they’d add the Market discount coupons to the PC instead of taking them away from console players, as I’m one of those players who doesn’t buy Plat and just grinds it out instead.

    I mean, I get it. Encouraging players to buy Plat directly supports the developers while the discount coupon doesn’t. It makes sense they’d try and phase console players towards the PC model. But this login bonus will be completely useless to me.


  • Secondary Catchmoon is a pocket Arca Plasmor that force procs Impact (cough Hemorrage cough) and can take both the Primed Pistol Crit mods. Primary force procs Impact too, but is a Shotgun so can’t take Internal Bleeding.

    Primary Tombfinger is a Bramma if you squint really really hard (Charge up your shot to do a big AoE on impact)

    If you’ve got access to the Deimos Kitguns, they’re both actually nuts. Primary Vermisplicer is a Kuva Nukor/Tenet Cycron that has huge Slash weighting and innate Toxin, making Viral + Slash super easy to mod for and spray down a room with without trying to aim. Secondary Sporelacer is one of the few kitguns who’s Riven dispo is significantly worse than its primary form, because it’s that much more popular/busted. It blasts a huge spray of Toxin damage in an AoE, reminicient of how Kuva Zarr sprays a similar massive explosion.

    TheKengineer has a phenominal video on Youtube about each Kitgun type, and how to best build it (Primary vs Secondary, which other parts to use, etc) if you want to find out more. These are just the ones I found myself enjoying the most.



  • 2 Star Gaming did a video on this a long time ago, pre-Eximus rework. Not sure how well it works with the new Eximus units, they may have done a follow-up video, I’m not sure.

    The Excavation mission can be cheesed with Limbo, but it’s really really boring. As far as I’m aware, you don’t have to actually complete any excavators, just get a certain amount of Cryotic. So just run around as Limbo in the Rift, activate the Excavators, and let them get blown up for a small amount of Cryotic. Rinse and repeat, watching out for Eximus units that can hit you through the Rift. Maybe subsume Banshee’s Silence if that’s a problem for you: while it’s active, Eximus can’t cast their abilities that hit through the Rift, and Silence itself works across the Rift.

    For the other two, there’s a little known trick. The game says that all mods are disabled, but that’s not entirely true. Warframe Augment mods still work for some reason. So the strategy is: grab Hildryn, subsume Chroma’s Elemental Ward over her 1 or 4, and make sure your Emissive colour gives you Electric Ward (Purple colours usually work for this). Then, equip Hildryn’s Blazing Pillage mod. Activate Elemental Ward, activate Haven, and start spamming Pillage. The combination of Pillage’s armour/shield strip, Haven and Blazing Pillage’s heat damage, and Elemental Ward’s interaction with Hildryn is enough to shred the mobs at the level of Grendel’s missions. Just keep an eye out for Eximus units, as their Overguard is the biggest unknown since it didn’t exist when I did this strat.

    Finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help in Recruit chat! Only the mission’s host needs to have a Grendel locator to access the mission, iirc, and plenty of players will jump at the chance to farm Grendel in a group, or at least get a second copy to subsume to the Helminth.
