Still, the only frames I'd buy from the market would be Mesa and maybe Excalibur if you chose wrong at the start. There's reasonable grinds, there's a few shitty grinds, and then there's Mesa, Excalibur, and Saryn. Chroma and Atlas are pretty bad too, but they're about as far from must-have as you can get. Saryn you can just ignore and go straight to her Prime until you get really desperate for mastery fodder.
Something to keep in mind, last Black Friday had a huge sale on just about everything (except plat itself, though they have done plat sales on other BFs). I'd try to only buy stuff you absolutely need (slots don't go on sale as far as I remember, and potatoes you really can't avoid) from the market, and only give plat to other players as much as possible. Even some of the vaulted primes are still way cheaper than buying non-prime frames or weapons from the market.
Alright I got the Banshee warframe and the Latron rifle, this is real good
Yea, the near insta-kill / insta-kills have always annoyed me; anything 40+ will kill any of the frames I use in 1-2 shots. That is the main reason I haven't opened up the entire map, too much dmg incoming.I was right about my ODS times lol. Tried one earlier and had to peace out at 11 minutes, toxic ancients are a problem since I have no way to regen life and my Hek just doesn't cut it when there are a bunch of ancients and other mobs dogpiling me. I unlocked void dash after that though, which might make it a tad easier with the energy regen. Managed to finish off most of Sedna (am at the lvl 60 arena and the boss, is one planet behind the lvl 60 arena left locked) but it was rough. Level 40 mobs kill me in literally 2 shots, and i'm not even talking about the big ones, just normal corpus crewman and that's with about 800 shields and 800 life =/.
For what gun? I ended up with a Grakata one that's 154.5% crit and 101.3% electric. Too bad I don't have a Prisma Grakata though. :/Riven Mod alert was cool. Got one with like 11% pierce 8.8% multi and some status chance. Seems not horrible (outside not having the MR to use it)
Oh forgot they were gun specific. Its for the Zhuge.For what gun? I ended up with a Grakata one that's 154.5% crit and 101.3% electric. Too bad I don't have a Prisma Grakata though. :/
I just got one like that from the sortie today, it was pretty awful. To do it solo I went to Adaro/Sedna with Ivara and it took way too long to kill 153 grineer. You don't actually have to stealth finisher everything or even avoid bodies being seen. They basically just can't shoot at you or set off an alarm. I had to use Extinguished Dragon Key though, so my damage was shit aside from Covert Lethality and I ended up doing the sleep arrow -> finisher thing most of the time anyway. All that for a crappy Tonkor riven too.My riven mod has a stupid unlock that I got from it lol. Have to do an exterminate undetected while holding one of the dragon keys (hobbled maybe? i forget which one).
