CannaWhoopazz Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I've done some looking at the rifles, and I can't figure out why the Braton isn't the best non-prime assault rifle in the game. It has the highest DPS of any other assault rifle if shot in short bursts (since the Gorgon has that wind-up speed, and terrible accuracy), decent magazine capacity, good accuracy (rarely do I find a time I would need to shoot at distant targets) and average reload speed (can be modded to a respectable time). Something tells me I'm wrong in my initial assessment of the weapon (I'm just starting out) but I can't find a weapon that I will be switching to any time soon, and the only one that I will eventually switch to is the Braton Prime. Where did I go wrong? What am I missing? What weapon at higher levels will I really need to use instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moerfy Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I tried both, Soma and Braton Prime, i like the Braton Prime more. Dont know why, but maybe because the Braton Prime just looks damn badass :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sni7ch Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) The Braton is great weapon but other weapons, such as the Soma, are better in the long run, but the Soma has a Mastery requirement of 3. Latron is also a good level 0 weapon. The Hind is another weapon you can try. Stable, burst fired (5 rounds per click) rifle. Just some ideas.

Calayne Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Loads of viable weapons out there, really: Just depends on what you feel comfortable with. I personally use the Burston, which is apparently quite average to under-performing against anything above level 90, but I find it to be my favoured weapon. Partially due to its sweet-&#! sound effect, having higher damage (therefore, ammo efficiency), and a burst that doesn't overkill a single target. While its DPS doesn't make it the hottest girl in the block, it puts out some respectable damage until quite late into the game. That being said, play ALL the weapons to above rank 20, see how much mod space it has left, and then think of whether it's worth potato-ing. I found Burston very much worth it, considering I use Hikou and Dual Vipers as my high-level side, and Sicarus as my favourite default side.

Grandarex Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Every weapon in this game is capable of killing enemies decently, if you forma and/or mod them correctly. It's just that people in this game are obsessed with numbers and DPS, that they forget how to enjoy the gun in the midst of analyzing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannaWhoopazz Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Standard hits, I see the Braton as better than the Soma, but the Critical Hits will increase the dps quite a bit, I didn't look at that. I will go back to the calculation-board as it were, and figure this out! *EDIT* Soma is better once fully modded for crits, you're right! I failed to calculate the criticals in at all, and was just looking at dps of normal shots. Edited October 14, 2013 by CannaWhoopazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueIstari Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't use it too much anymore because I'm leveling stuff, but the Braton is definitely my favorite rifle. Shame I'll never get Braton Prime though, because I can't stand to sit through Orokin Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlchemistMute Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Bro, did you even mod your Soma? Best assault rifle in the game, aside from Synapse + Volt's shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that people in this game are obsessed with numbers and DPS, that they forget how to enjoy the gun in the midst of analyzing it. So much truth in this statement. While I have Braton Prime, Flux, Soma, Supra (pretty much all weapons and the "right" ones forma'd) I've been playing with this since Heavy Caliber came out: This was my first potatoed gun, no polariites, just straight damage, armor piercing and ammo mutation. Still tons of fun (apart from a little too much screen shake) and I can even run T3s with it comfortably... Braton is awesome. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozom Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I like the Braton as well, but I like the Boltor more due to damage type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE &!$$es me off to no end with their event only MODS/Weapons that are superior in every way to the original. You can get ammo mutator mods now in survival missions. I don't know where drops what (it's all behind closed veil) but there are reports of them popping up in game now. Good luck buddy. Hope you get what you're looking for soon.

JerryMouse13 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I personally view the Braton as the workhorse of Warframe, it's completely uninspired, and doesn't really shine in any way, yet it somehow manages to be the go to gun for me in nearly any situation. In terms of simple point and shoot reliability the Braton trumps nearly any gun in the game. Decent DPS, high accuracy, a healthy clip size, and no wind up. Some minor ammo pool problems, and it falls off in the later game, but other than that no true downsides. In short I love this gun to death, and I can't wait to finally get my hands on the Prime.

BIossome Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It is because of damage types and damage modifier that the braton isn't the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignaesia Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It used to be great but has been overtaken due to power creep. Same for Boltor Hek still holds up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCypherThis13 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 As far as rifles are concerned, I like Boltor, Latron Prime and Braton, in that order. All three are do it all weapons. The MK1 Braton isn't too bad, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
