You're new in Warframe?... USE THESE WEAPONS! 

What is your favorite starting weapon? ☺

Melee 01:19 - Silva & Aegis 03:58 - Lecta 12:17 - Tipedo 21:00 - Guandao 22:38 - Xoris Shotgun 05:18 - Strun 06:56 - Boar 14:37 - Hek Rifle 08:46 - Boltor 16:35 - Quanta 18:29 - Dera Sniper 09:49 - Vectis Bow 11:06 - Paris Pistol 19:13 - Nukor 25:31 - Aklex

One thing not mentioned here for beginners: any time you build a weapon that requires another one for its blueprint, like the Tipedo needing Kunai and Bo, be sure to level the required weapons to 30 first for contribution to your Mastery rank. For the Aklex you only need to level one Lex because you can only get the MR exp once per weapon. Once you get into modular weapons this needs additional explanation but I'm sure there's tutorials for those.

Keep in mind, Tipedo needs a Bo and a Kunai (not their mk1 forms) to craft, and im not sure which but one needs MR4 to craft, so while Tipedo's blueprint can be bought at MR3, you need MR4 to actually craft it

I'm started Warframe a week ago on my OLED Switch and your videos have been super duper helpful. This channel needs way wayyy more subs. I'm also really taken aback and impressed with the tight knit community! Everyone is so so very helpful. There's tons to do and I see myself playing this for a very long time. Been wanting to have a go at this game for ages. And now? I finally can.

Also, you can find the volatile quick return mod while fighting infested in the Cambion drift and that might make the Xoris even more useful as an AoE weapon early on.

An additional thing to note is the Quanta Alt-Fire actually explodes on contact as well, so if you let them hit enemies, they'll detonate in that manner too.

Rather than Aklex specifically, I'd say the Lex in general is top notch. That thing is a sniper hand cannon. Lex was my favorite Secondary in general, only surpassed by Lex Prime once I got it.

This video is really helpful for a returning player, like myself, that is picking up Warframe again after a few years of non play. Thank you!

In both the base and prime variants, the Strun is just the semi-auto variant to the Boar, and both Primes have really good riven disposition that don't stray far from that of the normal versions. Simply put, the Strun has better ammo economy and I think has slightly higher multishot, while the Boar has higher DPS and damage per projectile....at least if I'm remembering correctly.

On your comment regarding the hek: The regular hek actually scales the hardest, but requires the most investment to get to peak efficiency. The kuva hek can be better, technically, but a maxed out regular hek still competes DPS wise when factoring in reloads. The Vaykor Hek is a pretty good side grade for less forma investment, but if you can pick that up from steel meridian, then you can pick up scattering justice. Which will eventually make the regular hek outscale it.

Nice vid! Gonna go for xoris now :) And new idea for video/little guide: easiest ways to earn standing with conclave, sigils don't work anymore unfortunately... but we still need those amazing mods and cosmetics.

Dude. I swear it’s like you’re in my head. As a new player the way that you narrate and edit these videos is top-tier, thank you, subbed.

tbh Lato was an amazing starter for me, i stuck with lato for 90% of my early game

I don’t even take a primary, i melee my way through everything. Dual heat swords with a couple basic mods literally tears through even bosses.

As someone who tried to solo most of warframe until I caught up with the story (including clan projects, I regret, but did), the Furis pistol was a nice machine pistol worked wonders for me until I made the twin Grakatas (that I used until my Kuva Nukor and Laetum, still have it in my inventory). As for primary weapons, the Karak never steered me wrong, but I used the Gorgon for a lot before the Soma (I wanted it due to the trailers) because I liked spray & pray. Melee? I mainly used the Heat Sword from the infested quest until I was MR 8.

Xoris is my favorite beginner's weapon. It's for melee and ranged AOE without the need of ammos.

If your new just use whatever you want, everything is viable early and most things are good end game if you build them properly. Just use whatever you enjoy and you'll enjoy the game a lot more.

Probably worth noting that the Boltor, Fragor, and Vulkar, in addition to being decent beginner weapons themselves, are granted to you by the Junctions so you save some credits not having to buy their blueprints. Another weapon I would recommend is the Vasto, as an alternative to the Lex or Aklex. It does less than half the damage of a Lex, but it fires almost 5 times faster with a 1s reload and it still packs a decent punch. It's a much more forgiving weapon than the Lex or Aklex.

Thank you for the amazing work you put into this video. The "if you ever played a video game in your life" makes me back up a little and chuckle. I just switched to this game in September, after playing many MMORPGs and RPGs, which are nothing like Warframe (World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls Online, TES Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim being just a few examples... mostly medieval-like settings). I wasn't even expecting to like it so much, since it's so far from what I've been playing, but I strongly recommend it. I use any weapon my grabby little noobish hands can get so I can get more mastery rank, but I'm grateful to learn from people like you, who put a lot of effort and research and share it with us all. 🥰

I JUST got Legendary 1 but I will never forget the Hek. I was on Uranus, trying to defeat Tyl Regor, and a friend of mine told me to get the Hek. and thus...he was defeated. Those are good weapons all. and as you get higher mastery, you unlock so so many more. fun ones, quirky ones, devestatingly powerful ones. Good luck.

Just getting back into Warframe for the first time in 5 years, and this video has been monumental. Hoping to get into a clan quickly, and start the grind 💪💪💪

xoris was definitely the stand out early(ish) weapon for me, not for the infinite combo i never made any use of that, but rather just making use of the thrown heavy attacks with high crit and thrown/heavy attack specific mods

I recommend the Ether reaper. Scythes are stupid strong just cause of their heavy attacks. simple viral modding and you can clear the entire start chart with the weapon something like pressure point and you don't even need the 60/60 mods. That forced slash on heavy will kill any and everything.

Blacky: Throw away your mk1-paris and buy the paris blueprint Me after putting a silver potato on it: God dammit

I remember absolutely loving the kohm clearing basicly entire chart with it

what i got from this: check out the clan blueprints more often

Me (Paris user): YOU DARE APPROACH ME MORTAL? GET MELLE‘D Plus an arrow in the knee from close range is still an arrow in the knee

For the Xoris i think you should just go with the heavy attack build instead. One of the best aoe that a new player can get their hands on imo.

I actually don't recommend the normal nukor as it burns through ammo extremely quickly as its several ammo per tick of damage, same goes for the atomos but at least the atomos has base heat instead of radiation, and chains to a few enemies. Once you get your hands on the normal cycron thats your best bet until you get the tenet version later. Also, the boar requires you to be on Uranus which is mid star chart, it only drops from enemies from uranus lol. The Xoris is just pronounced "zoris" :P

Man, I wish the game taught you that you can buy things like frame and weapon bp from the market with credits.

on the Xoris, I have a different style I like: Spam throw and heavy attacks. It's served me extremely well to just nuke with several thousand damage explosions every 2-3 seconds. Early on that is insane and kills everything, and towards the end of the starchart good mods can add *another digit* to that number.

Idk how current rules are but we got a noob friend the Hek back when it was MR 4 and that still hasn't stopped solving all of his problems lol

Personally the basic magistar practically singlehandedly carried me through the star chart, alongside my rhino. Good times

I'm a returning player. I left off with Loki, glaive, Latron Prime, and Twin Vipers. I understand pretty much none of that is considered good anymore, so these videos have been very helpful.

I'm just leveling everything I can to get that sweet sweet mastery rank

Xoris is INSANELY OP especially when u explode it, carried me entire starchart when I got it, I basically ignored my primary and secondary

Vastro revolver is a beastly contender w/ the Lex as I don’t have to spd up the reload time & give some extra power

Lmao, so when I first found out about clans I was trying to make something but needed a recipe from a clan for a part of it. in the span of like, 5 seconds, I go "I need to be in a clan? tf?" Close the crafting screen and get an invite to a clan.

I remember using the galatine until I got the broken war. Plus a galatine is good to have to shove in your paracesis once you're at that point.

I'm MR 7, and recently got back into Warframe after about 4 years, and I've been thinking of finishing leveling some of the guns that were mentioned in this video, namely the Hek lol. Though my biggest issue right now is that I don't feel like I'm doing a lot of gun damage, but when I switch to my melee (most often a skanna weapon) is when I feel I do the most damage, and feel the strongest, but even then that OP feeling can feel fleeting at times. I also have a Soma that's maxed out, but I feel like the Soma just spits ammo more than anything. Moral of the story, I guess I feel I'm at a crossroads with my weapons, and damage output, and I have 0 plat after I linked my Switch account to my PC one.

19:51 What did you say? Heathen! Radiation is incredibly useful as a crowd control tool, and it helps disable Auras. It is even better when you mod your sentinel weapon for it! It will ABSOLUTELY buy you a TON of Breathing Room in missions, guaranteed.

I like how the tipedo is mastery rank 3, but to craft it you need to use master rank 4 weapons as materials.... What was even the point of unlocking it at 3? Lol

When I first started, I used Boar until Jupiter after I got it on a lucky drop in that one mission on Earth, but I was constantly switching out my Melee and Secondary weapon so I was at MR 5~6 when I hit Eris. Honestly, even now I still love my Boar and use it semi-regularly mostly just because of my rose tinted glasses.

I will recommend for new/return player a volt frame. A pole meele weapon. Sub weapon something with rapid fire. As for main weapon a boltor rifle. U can use all way to MR 9 so dont be afraid of adding forma. MR 9 probably going swap to a ignis

i actually didnt know the combo counter about xoris lol, thanks about that though one thing i mainly use it is because of the explosion throw, i can clear mobs in one shot even in some bounties in landscape that is designed for higher levels

a little tip about the Xoris since you didnt mention it nor did you show it in the background video because maybe you forgot or actually missed it since its not really explained about it but you can actually trigger an explosion with the Xoris after you throw it by pressing the heavy attack or alt fire (i forgot since ive changed my binding), i feel like thats the actual reason people use the Xoris... cause it feels satisfying XD

having just started a 2 days ago this vid is awesome...subbed

When I completed the second Dream Quest, I got the Broken war, with free weapon slot and catalyst. Since then, it is my Number One Melee. It has second highest Crit chance with 35% and big slash dmg. Can only recommend. it. Also, the Second Dream quest has some Cinematic Parts in it, it's really good!

Th Boltor i believe has gotten a huge upgrade thanks to the elemental change. Decided to try a built myself for new players and went with. 3,100 endo (wanted to keep it below 3k but.. close enough r?) Hellfire Rifle Aptutude for 90% status in free polarity (explain below) Serration (rank 4) Point strike Speed Trigger (swap to Vigilante Fervor if get while doing armaments) Vigilante armaments (This is hardest of the mods to get but also gives a direction). The reason I think this is a good setup and direction is because of how cold works now as well as puncture. Puncture gives you a 5% additive crit per stack caping at 5 and reduces enemy damage. get a nice 25% crit which would require 250% crit from mods plus 80% less damage from enemies. With point strike giving 10% as well we now have 50% crit. I considered cold for the crit damage but ioin's only good endgame as the crit dmg is multiplied by mods. The freeze and attack speed could help mitigate damage but heats def shread and heat i would value slighty more. Lasty the Vigilante mods... from tier 3 bounty are lvl 20-40 enemies. They also have the innate 5% chance to crit and/or increase a tier. with both vigilante mods u get another 10% chance to crit, seprate to ur base crit. This would be 50% chance to base crit, 5% chance to base crit with vigilant and 5% chance to orange crit when it procs with ur weapons base crit as well. Lastly i want to point new players in the direction of the augur mods on cetus. The next tier of bounty gets u into the best early game warframe modes personally. If... you could get ur hands on hammer shot though it would drastically change the build as it is rifle apritude and the crit dmg multiplier would also multiply colds.. so swapping to cold instead of heat would be viable. Not new player friendly though.. well this new.

IGNIS is an easy-pick fast on early game, as soon as you build a chem lab in your dojo. Not suitable for high levels, but the no-brain clearing speed at low levels is ridiculous. And in early game, you may find cool to speed up the gain of currencies with a AOE primary. If you have some plat to spend on early game, or OK to concentrate on Deimos and buy the parts, I could recommand CEDO, which combines good things : a strong primary, an explosive secondary, good status and criticals potential... CEDO is good for any level, including Steel Path, when most AOE weapons hit a wall (Atomos, Ignis Wraith...). ATTICA and ZHUGE are fun too, helping newbies to work on their aim skills :) Edit : oups. CEDO is MR8, and IGNIS MR5... So I'm out of the scope :) I've been above any MR restriction for years, so that I didn't check this point...

Thank you for all the informative videos. I usually struggle when games just throw everything at you and you have no idea what to do, but i feel like i should pick it up easy thanks to these videos.

1:18 Silva & Aegis 3:57 Lecta 5:18 Strun 6:55 Boar 8:44 Boltor 9:48 Vectis 11:05 Paris 12:16 Tipedo 14:36 Hek 16:34 Quanta 18:00 Dera 19:11 Nukor 21:00 Guandao 22:37 Xoris 25:30 Aklex

I just mastery 2 only played 1 day. So far ive honestly used the sword and kunia as volt more than any other weapon. Really liking the game and cant believe i just discovered it. Thx for the vid

Best tip, try out the different weapons and use what is most fun/effective for you. There are tons of options that are effective

Soma & Boltor carried me until I got Fulmin. Boltor was always fun with an impact/puncture build. Watching the graneer/corpus rag doll across the map or get stuck to the ceiling was hilarious 😂😂😂

XORIS NOTE: is not necesary to finish the deadlock protocol quest to get the xoris, you can leave the quest for later and just start using the Xoris since you need to craft it before advancing i nthe quest. :D is very good for those that have no melee affinity and jsut want somethign that gives the mextra power, when you get it, ask in Q&A chat for a beginner friendly build, or follow any build guide for it here on YT.

I got back into the game 2 weeks ago and ngl, I wished I saw your content first before getting back in a new platform lol. My first weapons I remember were the gram as a melee, my primary was/is the gorgon (looking for either a different weapon recommendation or mod build for it) and the stug as my secondary. Keep up the good work dude!

Not gonna lie, I don't think the Boltor is particularily good, even as an early game option. It's awkward to use, neither crit nor status are worth boosting and the damage really isn't all that good. If you're looking for a solid early game Assault Rifle, I suggest you get the Karak, Hind or even the Braton instead.

"cORners" 17:32😂😂😂 I'm sorry man but I died

if you’re new and on ps, you can get a free bundle that gives you one of the most satisfying guns i’ve gotten so far in the game, the grinlok. you also get a free pet that comes with a sniper too.

Me who actually starts playing in the Warframe anniversary. Dex Sybaris always stuck me in my loadout along with the Dex Melee weapon. They just have more capacity back then meaning more easy potential.

I forgot the rank but I love the obex because of the heavy attack being a aoe that after following up a heavy slam can LAUNCH enemies!!! It’s a sparing weapon (fist and feet) and has great attack speed so it’s highly recommended by me to get it as soon as you can!

I definitely knew what he was talking about when he described the feeling of useing the aklex nice and powerful for mid-low lvls and very satisfying

I started warframe a bit more prepared than most because a friend of mine was a warlord in his own clan and regularly talked about the game. When I finally joined, my goal was Nyx and supra, which meant I needed mastery rank 9 at the time asap. Lex Prime was the clan's official badge, so I sported the lex all the way until the prime was available

My man’s skipping orokin cells at 6:00 like it’s nothing. 😂 PSA for new players: don’t skip those. 😉

“Radiation isn’t really useful” Qorvex: “Am I a fuckin joke to you?!”

When you get to MR 8 ask in chat for an Ignis Wraith. If someone wants more than an unranked bronze mod or a fish (I'm weird, I trade for fish) they are over charging. People give them away for free, and often in stacks of 5 with the expectation of you handing out the spares. We'd give them away for free if we could. This weapon is part of the meta and is an absolute beast. It uses rifle mods, so your shotty mods won't translate.

6:00 as a new-ish player, seeing that cell array get missed tore me to bits

If you can get it, I recommend the Gorgon. A primary weapon that sports two magazines. It's got a high rate of fire. It'll make you feel like Rambo.

I built the Hek on my accounts and I absolutely love it.

I started playing little over 2 weeks ago and the person that got me to play helped me get the azothane great sword as soon as I could. Sorry if I spelled it wrong.

Even as a mid to late game player this video is intertaning

This video really helped me in understanding early options. Been loving the Lecta, and after getting the Vectis I now actually sometimes shoot bullets. The Quanta has been a goal of mine for when I get there, but it seems a little hard to build. Mostly the Forma. I've only gotten one Forma and didn't realize I should hang onto it for the Quanta. I'll probably be MR 5 before I see a second Forma.

HEK is the goat just because you can get it in the game so early and use rudimentary, basic mods to soup it the crap up. This gun will last you a long time.

Oh there's one weapon you can theoretically get and use at or above MR-0... _which is actually an _*_MR-14_*_ weapon._ *_The Opticor Vandal_* ... This thing will be one shotting things from early to late with zero mods on it. And it has no mastery rank requirement, if you complete the Thermia Fractures event (preferably with a group as the event itself is a bit tough) then you get this weapon at the end. I got mine at MR3

Been using the Paris for the entire star chart and its so satisfying every time I hit a 50k headshot crit (I shoved a catalyst into it, no I don't regret it, probably)

I have a lot of fun with the dex weapons. Helped my son far even with later game content. Plus you get them for free so I have tons of fun with them.

MR5 weapon but I'd really recommend picking up the Atomos as soon as you can. It's.... literally a budget Kuva Nukor, and until you get one of those serves an identical purpose. Chaining lazer with huge status chance. Early game it clears rooms by itself and later on it becomes a go-to primer. Also has natural Heat damage so it becomes the reaper of infested if you combine it with Toxin to make Gas.

I’ve been playing since 2018 but still like to watch these vids lol

I'm rocking just a Heat Sword on Excalibur so far it's taken me to MR5

I used rhino, Bolton, kronen, and a mix of secondaries when I started. Been playing on off since Xbox launch

Yea, when I started to play this game like 7 years ago, my first choice of weapon was Silva & Aegis. It's also my first ever weapon that I bought using platinum (When the game gave you free plat for a starter). Truly worth it, had a lot of fun, cool looking and it was a beast in PVP in the clan back in the day lol.

I actually like flying solo with these types of games clans are just essential at a sense

On the Dera, I know these are meant to be beginner builds (is rime rounds really a beginner mod?) but even considering that it seems really odd to put viral on a puncture weapon. Viral isn't great on its own, its need something like heat or ideally slash procs to be any good since all its procs do is increase damage done directly to health. It seems that doing corrosive or heck even just straight toxin or heat would be better. What am I missing?

Reminder that all clan content is locked behind MR2. This bumps up many "MR2" weps

I just restarted the game a few days ago (MR3 now) and im still using mk1 paris, aklato and bo😂 completely forgot what early game weapons are good coming from an end game account. Thanks for the help man, actually feels like im a noob again 😂

Thanks so much I just started! This is great!

Can't beat the Hek as an early player weapon. Since clearing planets is one of your early goals, and clearing Venus and Mercury are easily done, you'll unlock nightmare missions early. Most of the common nightmare mission mods are for shotguns, and a few more mods can be picked up on Cetus bounties. The BOOM it makes is iconic in Warframe

I have loved the Silva & Aegis since it came out. Fantastic melee! :D

i dont even use infinite combo counter on xoris, it's charged range explosion that deals 1300 electro damage without mods just oneshots everything early to mid game, i managed to reach 25 waves in defense by just spamming xoris explosions, this weapon is overpowered for the new players

I just started playing. I’m MR 4. It’s really easy to join a clan. I just went to recruiting asked if any clans were recruiting newbies and I mentioned I wanted access to the weapons and frames and instantly I got 3 clans hit me up. Don’t stress it fellow newbie tennos

Thank you for explaining it all so clearly! I begun Warframe three days ago, I will be mùastery 4 today, and the game is DENSE. I'm already a fan of the lex, I was wondering if the tipedo was worth the investment, and it seems I'm looking at good weapons. Lots of fun for now ^^

another weapon to mention is lesion becuase if you cant get a orokin catalyst for it and are a casual player it can carry you all the way to steelpath and it include tipedo so if you want a more status polearm its more helpful

My favorite starting weapons that i use for such a long time in my beginner state are [Latron] that soon become [Tiberon] and the good ol' [Mire]

Started WF a week ago and now at MR4 with MK1-Paris, Kraken and Heat Sword. All do nice dmg. But finding a clan that isnt russian/chinese speaking AND accept new players (since most clans have a min of MR9+), is almost harder than getting a decent weap. Specially since in this game you cant just join a clan but have to be invited to one.

The strun carried me to late mid game. Grinded a few mods and bought 1 from someone and it could 1 shot around level 45 enemies.

You forgot to mention or you dont realise that too, but the Paris can also Go Through Wall, so for Stealth Missions It is Very good, also If in combat, you can hit enemies hiding on Covers

I picked up the Aklex when I was a beginner and it took me so far. I still have it and I also have the prime version which I still use.

Some one I know plays this game I do to and he has been playing for 2-3 years he is the one that got me in to it I started this game 1 month ago I'm in his clan. The only thing he does not have in the new 50 Warframe because he gave it to me so at least I did not start the game alone.
