There has been talk about a PVP guide for new players wanting in on the action so here it is.
Preparation
Before you even start, join the conclave syndicate at the relay in the conclave room. This is how you can get most of the mods that can be used in PVP. After joining the syndicate, head back to your ship, go to your loadout and press the button in the bottom right, select conclave, and equip your sigil. It will be in your appearance section under regalia, note that whenever you want to use a different warframe, you'll have to re-equip the sigil to that warframe. Other wise you wont gain standing.
Step #1
- If you are brand new to Warframe PVP the first step is your survivability.
- The frame you pick is not too important yet because it is easy to kill any of the frames if they don't move much.
- This is especially important for team based matches because you don't want to feed the other team points.
- The easiest way to survive is to constantly be moving (for movement tips click here ). + Bullet jump while looking down instead of up so there is less camera movement needed. + Long distance roll: if you tap Roll + Crouch key you can roll about twice the distance.
- If you find that you keep dying, don't try to kill anything just focus completely on improving movement, positioning yourself out of harms way, and dodging.
- Kills are important too but you will find that surviving can turn better results than just getting kills and dying a lot.
Step #2
- Now to work on fighting back.
- Try all the weapons you have because they are not the same as in PVE. (including abilities, especially abilities)
- There are many viable weapons frames you just have to find the load out that suits you...lol. (see below for more detail)
- When you are practicing aiming do not do it standing still, try aiming while flying through the air or sliding around.
- Elevation is also good, you can get easier head shots and have a head start to get away quick.
- Noisy weapons will reveal your location on mini-map, Hush mod will help.
- You can even practice this aiming technique in PVE. (a little easier because AI cant move as fast as a fellow tenno)
- I personally like enough accuracy so that I don't have to zoom in to aim well.
- Also energy spawns have a timer of 2 minutes and controlling these spawns is not a bad idea
Step #3
- Have fun.
- If you are trying to do challenges take note that they can only be completed in specific modes. If you select the challenge it will automatically select the corresponding game mode.
- Take notice of people around your skill level and befriending them so you can join them later.
- The most exciting matches are the ones that are evenly matched and come close at the end.
- Also sportsmanship is always a plus.
- If someone is AFK, killing them for points is kind of a cheap move.
- Follow the "pick on someone your own size" ideal. (don't keep killing someone less experienced than you when there are others that match your level of skill better)
- If you honestly believe that someone is hacking do not just outright accuse them in the middle of the match, that will just cause them to target you more.
- First take note of what they are using (frame, guns, melee) look it up on the wiki and make sure its not just a certain ability you didn't know about or something.
Loadout Tip Section
- A good loadout is one that covers your weaknesses.
- If you are running with a burst, semi-auto, or charge type primary then your secondary should be a full automatic.
- I suggest starting with full automatic with decent accuracy and low recoil so that you can at least land some hits.
- MK1-Braton is full auto and about the easiest primary to get and is rather effective in PVP.
- MK1-Furis is a full auto secondary with good accuracy and a cheap market item.
- Low recoil so that it doesn't distract you as much and good accuracy to prevent the thought "But I was aiming right at him"
..............2 main melee types..............
- Martial Magnetism allows players to lock on to you (this is not hacking), if you find that some one is glued to you while using melee this is the reason. The best choice for you is to bullet jump off the ground and get away.
+ This mod is typically used with short range fast melee like daggers, tonfas, and short swords
- Relentless Assault speeds up a players attack speed. Once again keeping your distance is a good idea
+ This mod is typically used with the longer heavy weapons like great swords
............Modding..............
- Mods worth mentioning (for all the conclave mods click here)
+ Second conclave rank has Most of the Warframe ability mods - ex. Volt's Recharge Barrier electric shield restores allies' shields when they pass through it
+ Third conclave rank has Anticipation, Enguard, and damage conversion mods</p> - Anticipation and Enguard help with troubles of getting staggered or knocked down - Warframe HP is vulnerable to puncture so puncture conversion mods are good (Against HP not Shields)
+ Fourth conclave rank has all the cool stuff and its a secret (not really its on the wiki too)
............Example Loadouts.............. Mine Valkyr_Daikyu_mk1-furis_Fang prime (armor with movment_Charged_full auto_fun melee)
Anothers whos' is better Excal_Soma_Akvasto_Darksword (disorienting abilities_full auto_semi auto_quick finisher)
As the Teshin guy says "knowledge can be your greatest ally in the midst of battle" or something like that :P
