[What's a good assault rifle to have at my MR?]

I'm currently planning ahead for weapons to get. One for each weapon sortie condition. I've got everything down except an assault rifle.

I'm almost at MR 9, and I have full intentions to get there. Unfortunately, I'm miles away from the Tiberon Prime.

At the moment, I've been considering the Karak Wraith, but feel free to make suggestions.

By the way, I'm at day 97. Should I just get the Zenith?

Thanks in advance.

[How Do I Trade Properly?]

I think I'm at that state in the game where I wanna start making platinum. Problem is, so far I haven't found a good way to trade.

I have two questions.

1: How can I tell what an item is worth?

2: What's the best method of trading? Trade chat? Maroo's Bazaar? Clan trading post? warframe.market ?

(Maroo's Bazaar has been a bit of a problem for me. It seems like people wanna give you items more than platinum when you offer something.)

This, right here. Toxin/Gas and Slash procs ignore shields, too. Not "do extra damage to". Ignore. Completely.

Redirection is a trap mod that should be deleted from the game.

So it's not godlike to have lots of health that can regenerate?

I always laugh at the face of toxin and slash damage when it's used against me. I find it underwhelming.

But if you guys insist, then armor must be a bigger deal than I thought. Which I wouldn't know, because once again, volt player. 😛

Once again, I really appreciate all of the responses. Even when I'm still waiting for Rhino to finish crafting and I feel like nothing else needs to be said, you guys keep on helping. This forum is overwhelmingly helpful and positive. Thank you all.

I don't know how long you've been playing since you don't have Energy Syphon, but once you get improved energy generation you can spam volt's abilities, at that point you can cover yourself in shields in 1-2 seconds. Volt's thing is he's supposed to be either between shields or in constant movement, that's why you have the 2nd ability. For further added effect, increasing duration means longer stuns with his 4.

Volt is squishy but don't give up on him.

 

If you want training wheels mode though, go Rhino.

I'm only in the middle of "The New Strange", so I'm not that experienced. If I may ask another quick question: how else do you regen energy besides Energy Siphon? Because I've seen videos of solo players regenerating energy way faster than Energy Siphon can. Sorry for the noob question.

I really appreciate all the responses, guys. I'm gonna go ahead and respond to what's being said in general.

Yes, parkour helps a lot, but then it's hard to shoot at baddies.

I love this game a lot, but it's hard for me to play the field with different Warframes.I just don't have the time and patience to gather stuff to make a crap ton of frames.

Energy management is hard for me. Yes, I know that Energy Siphon is a thing. I'd love to have that. I'm actively hunting for it.

And yes, I think I'll finally put that Furis blueprint to use. It's been sitting in my Foundry for ages.

----------------------------------------

Above all, I think I might try to go for Rhino and see how I like him. His first ability seems to be a good cc ability, just live Volt's Shock. His second ability is basically a godlike shield, at the same energy cost as Volt's shield. Advantage? He's tankier.

I'll report back.

As I'm reaching higher leveled missions, it's harder to stay alive. My HP is just getting shredded through.

Now, I understand that in order to truly get stronger, you need to level up your mods. But survivability is still difficult despite the fact that I upgraded the hell out of my shields.

A possible reason that I can think of is that Volt's armor is garbage. I'm starting to wonder if I should replace him for someone with better survivability.

Easier said than done, though. I love his abilities. The way his Shock chains between enemies is so useful, and that shield of his is handy. I've already tried Frost, who has a better shield than Volt, but I feel like his Ice Wave isn't as consistent as Volt's Shock.

My question is: should I start looking for a Warframe with better armor and survivability who's just as useful as Volt, or is there something else I can do for better survivability while still using Volt?

Or should I just screw it and main Rhino?

(I'm mainly a solo player, by the way. Even with a squad, I still feel like I can do better.)
