Tips For Rhino?

[keysikg]

Hello everyone. I am using Excalibur now and would like to try out Rhino/Frost. However, Frost is harded to farm I think because it is pretty hard for me to get to that boss since it is on Ceres. I have no problem getting Rhino's blueprints.

I like to play with armored character with nice damage output. What guns should I use for Rhino, etc? Any tips? Mods? Weapons? Thank you!

Boltor, Akbolto and Fragor/Bo/Furax will do you good because they have passive armor ignore. Hek/Gorgon, Kraken and Scindo will do you good because they have a high damage output.

well for a lvl 2 person i would use gram/Fragor then for gun hek/gorgon and for pistol AKBOLTO and i would make sure you use Rhino Skin alot

Isn't Gorgon M3 and Hek M4?

[Krrr8or]

Braton with Akbolto for armor pierce and whatever your favorite melee weapon is.

Since you also asked about mods: Some people go with high health and armor, so enemies can hardly deal damage anymore. I personally prefer to use power efficiency and duration mods, though, so I can almost constantly use Iron Skin and be immune to any knockdown or poison effects.

Yup, but M4 isn't that hard to get to, im on like 14 hours of gameplay since hitting M3 and I only need about 2100 xp til I hit M4

What does armour do exactly? I have a 40% mod in and I see no difference when I'm taking damage with and without it...

HEK,Lato Vandal,Fragor a good loadout? I got Scindo atm, but no one seems to like Scindo, I know that Fragor is awesome against Grineer because of the passive armour penetration. If Fragor is really good I'll make it =)

Armor should reduce the damage dealt to you. It only applies to health, though, so you won't notice a difference on shields.

What is best secondary gun(pistol) and melee weapon for Rhino?

[keysikg]

Anyone?

Whatever floats your boat, man. I like to use a shotgun, so I'll take either Akbolto/Aklato/Lex as secondary.

Just so you know though, Rhino's skill are more about crowd control than damage output.

yeah rhino charge's damage is pretty poor compared to slash dash - but then S.D's damage is nothing to get excited about since u7 did away with stacking power strength mods :)

rhino charge's knockdown is still superior though, so that's nice. Rhino stomp is still great, but expensive, CC. real emergency-only button. Radial stomp is garbage, terrible damage for too high cost.

Iron skin... what can you say, since it's now not only damage immunity but knockdown & stagger immunity, it's gone from excellent to amazing. Perhaps held in balance by the fact we can't stack power duration or efficiency anymore, but only barely =)

A note on armor for this poster:

in addition to what Botskiz said, you may not notice a difference on health either - that's not because it's not working, it's because most suits have really terrible base armour, so your mod adds 40% to crap and what you get is 140% crap and you can't really see a difference in your tankiness ;)

rhino is one of the exceptions though, buff rhino's armor and you *should* notice a distinct difference on how long your health pool lasts.
