(PSN)robotwars7 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 so now that Gauss Prime is out, and an increase in his base sprint speed, I'm curious if anyone has done any tests yet to see which frame is faster: to my knowledge it was originally Volt, but maybe that's changed now? if anyone has timed runs of them or other footage, I'd love to see it. also feel free to share Gauss/Volt builds and share what you love about them both in general, consider this thread a place for all things speed!

TARINunit9 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 In isolation, Volt is MUCH faster than Gauss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakaku Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I thought Gauss's speed boost was mostly visual FOV jank to make it appear fast, and Volt has actual speed Either way, according to my experiences it's easy to out-race most Gausses or Volts with just a parkour-speed mod, not to mention other kinds of speed boosts like a Nova portal or a Zephyr flight boost 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) it's the same as it always has been. Gauss is faster for short burst distances, and Volt or other Warframes with general speed buffs, for longer extended distances. wasn't this common knowledge already? idk oh also it's easier for other Warframes to scale their capabilities than for Gauss. Gauss has to stack Sprint Speed which is harder to stack than Ability Strength plus a bit of Sprint Speed on the side.

Gauss is faster in almost all situations. 322 strength + infested mobility + innodem + sprint speed mods. Hardly anyone will be able to catch you indoors and outdoors. Of course people use titania and archwings so don't expect to beat them, though its possible in some tilesets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof-Dante Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) I Don't really care anymore (Hopper doesn't care about which is faster? what universe is this?) but seriously...I'm happy with how fast He runs with a functional build...If I want to outrun Volt in an established race I can subsume Molt on him. How about that Character development? Hollywood could never! Edited January 23 by Qorvex99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper Volt is still faster, since his 2 is just that ridiculously powerful and stacks multiplicatively with everything you mentioned In practice, both Volt and Gauss will slam into walls before either of them get close to top speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoomaseller Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Razorwing Blitz Titania with +strength helminth, void corruption buff, a Nidus tickling her with his Parasitic Link, goes so fast that she only moves in the dark. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes from 0-100 in milliseconds, which gives him the edge in indoor tilesets. Volt may have the greater multiplier for speed buffs, especially how momentum carries in the game with parkor buffs. In practice it doesn't work well. Gauss can have both speed and effectiveness in all mission types while on the move, blitzing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ya running cannot equate to flying. That's why wukong has an edge over most grounded frames. His speed carries and doesn't need to slow down at all during cloud walker.

A shame it wasn’t just a ground race, I think Grendel would’ve done great too On a different note, we should also have a max strength Wisp for even more speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltz Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 11 hours ago, (PSN)Sentiel said: You're comparing a formula one to a rally car. Whoever is faster depends on the racing track. I’d say it’s more like formula one (Volt) vs a drag car (Gauss). One is better for maneuvering while the other will be faster in a straight line. But that’s only if you’re building both specifically for speed. With an actual mission build, Volt is faster since it scales with strength instead of sprint speed.

I think you meant formula 1: gauss Drag car: volt Also Gauss wins in mission speeds since IM exists. He is sitting at extraction point while everyone is still waiting for marker to pop up.

With an actual mission build, Volt is faster since it scales with strength instead of sprint speed. I admit I know next to nothing about cars. My analogy was supposed to point out the fact that Gauss can't handle uneven terrain and loses a lot of time and momentum having to navigate it, whereas Volt doesn't have this issue but won't perform as well on long and mostly flat terrain. I suppose we're trying to say the same thing. Personally, I prefer Volt because he can buff and support his team through various means. Gauss might be the fastest from his group but that just means he has to wait on the extraction for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
