Vasaro Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 So basically as the title says. With Fortuna 2.0 around the corner and the ability to wield the big guns i was curious what everyone's preference is. Since i haven't bothered with crafting all the archwing weapons myself i was wondering if people have a preference or which one would be the overall best.

NPC Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Against Orbs I'm thinking Velocitus. Time to bring that bad boy out, hasn't seen use after JV was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasaro Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 On a side note. It looks cool and you're holding them like mini guns, but the dual decurion?... damn those warframes must be strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim22 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 the fluctus only because I sold all my other ones lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma745 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm going to use what's already in my Arsenal. I'm going to cycle them and use them depending on what I'm in the mood to use. Sure hope it won't be limited to the Open world map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant99999 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'll prefer Fluctus (Exalted Blade Launcher) as the most convenient arch weapon and probably most convenient weapon in the game. And yeah, warframes are pretty damn strong if they can manage recoil of arch weapons even in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diangelius Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 - Imperator Vandal for super fast fire rate (with Automatic Trigger even more monstrous), very good accuracy allows you to snipe, okay crit chance of 15% but that doesn't matter because this thing is a chainsaw ! - Grattler, this thing has restricted range of 300m so not sure how it would be on the ground. Apart from that, very high DPS stats, shells explode on impact. Mod this thing with Automatic Trigger and u got yourself a Bomb Rain. - Fluctus, with wide-as-f*** projectiles, in Archwings mode this thing has 275m Punch Through so I'm not sure whether this would be changed when used on the ground. Thanks to AoE sweeping ability this thing is top tier in most Archwings missions. - Some people also recommend Velocitus... well... the dmg output is nice. Maybe effective against Raknoid ? It has no AoE capability so I'm not really interested in this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it to 30 and never used it again because of the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgabor Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Velocitus, once i got all the parts from the other three syndicates. The other AW weapons are just not interesting enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post that talked about damage falloff before it was added noted that, at the time, DE was unable to find any unobstructed line of sight that exceeded 300m outside of PoE.

(XBOX)Clockwork Geoff Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Probably the Veloctis, i'm thinking it's high damage will be good for the boss. Given how bad the Fluctus performs against the Jordas Golem, I am unsure how it'll do against orbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post that talked about damage falloff before it was added noted that, at the time, DE was unable to find any unobstructed line of sight that exceeded 300m outside of PoE. That is provided they adjust it to compensate for the reduced scale. From what I recall, Archwing missions have a reduced scale of approximately 4 times. As such, while it has a range of ~350m in Archwing mission, it will actually have less range than that in regular missions as the distance within the game's engine is actually still the same. It's the same reason why Archwing abilities on the Plains are not massive. The Grattler's rounds should detonate at ~100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toran Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 That has to be seen, really. Can they even compete with our riven-modded standard weapons but for impressive looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion-Shields Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 My valkyr uses Hikou with blast as her only ranged weapon. When the update comes out she’s going to use the Grattler to keep up the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aswitz87 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 If they don’t massively nerf Time to kill, grattler. Just raining viral explosions as I fly across the fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfeather75 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I only have the default gun and grattler, but if we can use archwing weapons outside of archwing missions then I will work towards getting them all for sure. That is a unique experience and really motivates me to unlock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTobe Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Grattler, honestly mostly because it's the only archwing-gun I've been able to build since the default one. But I like explosions so it's still a pretty cool weapon 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemenai Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) I'll take my velocitus. And kinda wished I could have something like this as skin. Edited December 17, 2018 by Gemenai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL4CKN0ISE Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Archwing guns seem pretty weak at this time. I remember being scared when DE said they would need to make some changes before they allow us to use them on land. It's been awhile since I even looked at an archwhing weapon, so I assumed DE would nerf them. Now that I've built them again, I can only imagine them getting buffs. How else can they compete with current weapons? Only the Velocitus seems viable for that weapon category at this time. I have no idea what I'll use, so I'm building them all. I have a strong feeling the balance changes will make all of them stronger than they currently are. Right now the Velocitus feels like the only true Railgun in the game, so I'm looking forward to using that first.
