Is The Dera Worth Building And Using?

[Gammaion]

Title says all. I have a Forma burning a hole in my pocket and I was wondering if I should build this.

[Kinperor]

I have one with 4 Forma and a tater.

I would definitely recommend the weapon.

Just make sure to keep an eye on your ammo, it's very bullet-hungry.

Good question , I would also like to know...

Depends on your taste. Perfectly accurate, no recoil, but damage isn't stellar and it has travel time.

[BrotherIcarus]

I find it really fun to use, and it can hold up in none endless missions well but don't expect miracles in the endless missions.

Moreso than the Prova or the Spectra. It's at least viable for most missions.

 

It's a lot of fun, but not top-tier.

[ThePredicament]

It's a super average weapon. Personally, around the same tier as Karak, Boltor, etc.

[Drunken_Child]

Worth buying and not using.

Thanks, everyone! It is my intentions to make a Corpus themed loadout with Valkyr.

The primary fire of Quanta does nearly double the sustained dps of Dera and it's like 10-11x more ammo efficient. 

 

Other than style, looks, or master points, I'd stay far away from this one >.>.

Like most weapons in warframe, this gun is certainly usable, however, it will not get good until you forma it a couple times. A single forma will not be enough for endgame content. Three or four and you should be able to take it anywhere in the solar chart, but maybe not T3/4 endless missions. That said. It is a fun weapon and actually feels like a high-tech assault rifle; and there aren't a lot of weapons in this game I would classify as a true assault rifle. No recoil and perfect accuracy makes it one of the easier travel time weapons to use, but you'll need to mod a lot of damage onto it and likely bring ammo packs due to its less than stellar ammo efficiency.

Dera is acceptable. it's not garbage, so it's usable in just about every situation. it's effective enough for you to use it in most Missions.

 

i certainly have a good time with it once in a while.

 

Karak and Boltor are comparable Weapons to it, yes. it's actually extremely similar to Boltor in terms of raw Stats.

Personally i would go with the supra, just because i find it a lot more fun, and a better weapon. plus if you're going with valkyr since supra can handle crowds and valkyr is kinda less cc, i would go with it.
