hijinks_the_turtle Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Hello! Hijinks here! Yes, I'm still alive. How do I pass this? T~T I've tried twice already with my starter gun and have failed miserably both times! I have Loki and yeah, please halp.
TrinityPrime Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Go buy the normal braton from market, it cost like 30k credits. level it a bit in lares or apollo and you should be fine. Or did you mean the test to go from rank 1 to 2? I'd recommend getting the Lex pistol. I still have fond memories headshotting everything with it at the lower levels.

TheErebus. Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Best get your current gear to the best they can be (max them out, place some good mods on them like dmg mods) then do the test. It's a very simple test so really there is no method.
Aigloblam Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 You are going to need a damage mod of some kind. For some unknown reason it takes some people a really long time to find a damage mod of any kind. But you drop ONE maxed damage mod on your Mk1 or Regular Braton, and it will become a lot easier for you. Just may take a bit.Don't worry too much about it though, We were all there at one point in time or another :)
hijinks_the_turtle Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Are there any other weapons I can get? I just got through killing Vor on Mercury.
Telonos Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 There are two ways you can get to the "slightly better than starting weapons". You can either go to the market (shopping cart icon) or you can go to Arsenal > Equip > and purchase that way. I find the Arsenal method to be a little easier personally (less clicking, takes you straight to the weapons for that slot). When you go in there, you will see a lot of weapons for platinum, but there are are also a couple that can be purchased with credits. Offhand I remember the Braton and Lex being available right away. (note that the Braton is better than the Mk.1 Braton that you start with, they're not the same). Alternatively, you can keep farming Vor to get the blueprint and materials to make his special pistol, but that can take a while and I'm not entirely sure it's worth the effort, personally.

Wow, you guys respond so quickly... o.o How is Braton better than MK-1? I don't really understand the stats and all...
TrinityPrime Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Well the main difference is the normal Braton does more overall damage but the damage is evenly distributed amount the primary damage types : impact (for shields), punction (for armor), and slash (for fleshy bits) where as mk1-braton is primarily slash damage. It also has a higher fire rate and some other tweaked stats: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/MK1-Braton http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Braton http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Damage
hijinks_the_turtle Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Cool beans, guess I got lots of farmin to do! That's not too bad, since I like the look of the levels! ^O^
(PSN)redman74 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 oh and a few other tips for Mastery Rank progression. avoid taking a sentinel. it can kill steal on some tests and fail u. u may not have 1 yet but bear in mind for future tests. don't be disheartened if u fail a test and have to wait 24hrs. most people who complain about this also stop playing completely because they believe they are losing affinity from ranking up weapons and frames. rest easy on that, it stacks and when u pass the mastery rank test u will already be well into the next level. and check the wiki out. some tests will be harder to complete purely because of ur warframe choice or equipment loadouts. rank 6 iirc is a cipher test made easier by spamming cipher keys as an example.
Darzk Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Loki is actually one of the easier frames to do this on if you don't die. Drop a Decoy in the middle of the room and run around the outside, repopping the decoy when it dies. This lets you shoot the moas in the back when they spawn (the battery pack on the back is the weak point). There's no rush to complete the test. Mastery you get is still accredited to you. While it's possible to do it with the starter gun, I would wait until you've unlocked a few other options and leveld up some mods. Dropping magnetic or toxin elements into your weapons will make it MUCH easier.
-ODIN-Bibimbap Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I failed this test twice before passing, one, due to running around blindly and getting hit, the second time, being too cautious and my time limit expired xD good memories...
Wahooo Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Headshots. Starter gear is fine, just run around a lot and make head shots.
MagPrime Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 What mods do you have? I have some spare starter mods that'll help your fire rate and damage.
(PSN)Count_Dante Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Ye'up, just up your weapon and mods. I am level, 11 I think? Every level but one I completed the first run through. The HARDEST level to finish thus far? Level 0 to level 1. I just went out and played a bunch, came back and had so much built up went from 0 to 4 VERY quickly once that first mastery was done.
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Wow, you guys respond so quickly... o.o How is Braton better than MK-1? I don't really understand the stats and all... General rule with stats. Bigger numbers=more killing. (besides reload time, naturally)
uppertiggy Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 ahh i remember i failed the first test cause i thought i had to stay in the circle int he middle of the test... imena come on it looked liek i stepped outside for a second would be insta fail
Deadl0ck Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 What mods do you have? I have some spare starter mods that'll help your fire rate and damage. Unfortunately, if he's doing the rank 1 test that means he's rank 0. You can't trade until rank 2 iirc.
hijinks_the_turtle Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) What mods do you have? I have some spare starter mods that'll help your fire rate and damage. I got a mod that increases my fire rate and something called serration for my rifle. Aw darn, I wish I could trade already. xD Edited June 27, 2014 by hijinks_the_turtle
