Hi I’m a relatively new player and currently MR5 and am still working my way through the star chart(At Saturn atm). I started with Mag and am currently using the Boltor.
I’ve been watching guides on YouTube and so have a basic understanding of how to achieve my build. However it seems a lot of the mods I require are out of my reach or require forma/potatoes.
When should I start following builds? Am I still too early?
I don’t have any forma blueprints nor any potatoes. Should I be grinding for them specifically now or only when I’ve gotten further?
Currently my Boltor has the following mods Serration rank 6, Infected Clip and Hellfire. I’ve seen that multi shot is important and the rifle multi shot mod can be dropped on spy missions at 5% chance. Is it worth grinding spy missions for it?
Any other advice would help too. Thank you!
Infected clip (toxin) and hellfire (heat) combine to make Gas. Gas is a very finicky element, you might want to consider toxin and electricity for Corrosive, which is very strong against armor, the first thing that will probably slow you down. Or just Toxin if you are fighting corpus, because it bypasses their shields.
I wouldn’t worry about following builds this early unless you start having problems. Build weapons like the Hek and Atomos, they’re great fun. Level up your main damage mods (serration/hornet strike/point blank/pressure point)
Multishot is important, getting it would be good (There’s one for rifles, shotguns, and pistols) https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Split_Chamber - it doesn’t look like it drops from spy missions though.
