Necramech Discussion

DAYUUMM, the Arquebex is a monster! A little fiddly to aim because of the arc and no zoom, but when it hits, IT HITS!

Oh yeah. That also. It's weird that your companion runs with you but their mods don't apply.

My helios still scans things while I am in my Mech.  ...  so that mod still applies.

Can necromechs pick up batteries for the excavation open world stuff? I don't have one but when I was running with a group where all three of them where in one I decided to stop picking up batteries to see if they could, and nobody was.

Maybe that would be a good change to allow them to help out during missions.

Interesting fact about that...you OPERATOR is the one who picks them up while you're in a mech, if you hop out after picking up a battery it will be in your operator's hands.

I know, it makes absolutely no sense to me either.

I don't understand what people like so much about the Mausolon.  It hits hard, sure, but any time I tried to use it for a prolonged period of time I would just get let down by the painfully slow ammo regeneration.  I was going to swap to the Fluctus or Imperator Vandal as soon as I maxed it out, but had to give up on the Necramech entirely until they fix your warframe evaporating while you're using it.

Have you tried it recently? Necramechs used to have a bug where the ammo regenerated very slowly which has since been fixed. I think they also fixed the disappearing warframe bug last hotfix too, except possibly for people using Umbra.

 

Anyway, I personally like mausolon because a combination of its damage, the AOE on its primary fire, the fact that it has what amounts to opticor's bigger brother as its secondary, and especially the audio and visual effects when firing it.

I'm on PS4.  Last announced hotfix only fixed a couple of generally meaningless things.

Oh, right. Sorry, forgot you guys are behind. Still, something to look forward to.

Can confirm and much to my chagrin in regards to Umbra T_T.

Hmm, I tested the Mausolon during the Fissure event and ran out of ammo constantly, even with the reload speed mod on it, so meh... The Ayanga is a different beast, though. Raining down grenades into enemy hordes feels very satisfying, it even made me play bounties on PoE and Fortuna again. Having a supporting Protea on your team makes energy a non-issue, but Vacuum is definitely needed, no clue what's the constant problem with it from DE's side... I just wish, floating could be enabled by simply pressing the jump button; holding it and aiming at the same time is impossible with a standard controller. Being able to rain down death from above would be awesome ;-)

Reload speed doesn't affect how quickly the ammo regenerates, just the delay between firing and the start of regen. 

Also charge speed doesn't work except on the guns where you hold the trigger to charge a single shot.  There's currently no way to make the ammo regen faster.

Not gonna lie, I have to resist shouting "hyper beam" every time I use the Mauselon alt fire 🤣
