Ronteque Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I am going to be running Rhino Warframe with the Furax and Gorgon. Initially I wanted to use the Snipetron but I felt it is very limited that I have to be at range and since most of the in-game environment are enclosed arena without much space to maneuveur like open world maps I went with the Gorgon instead. But I can't deicde on which pistol that will be the best match with the Gorgon for what the Gorgon lack. I am currently running Bronco. But I felt that if I can get close enough I might as well use the Furax and punch em. I bought the Afuris blueprint but didn't craft it yet after finding out that I need two Furis to craft it =_=. Now I see so many other choice for pistol. Afuris, Bolto, Aklato, Lex, Sicarius... Argh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PancakePie Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Go with the Lex if you're using the gorgon. It acts like a mini-sniper rifle, so you can use it to headshot at ranges your gorgon might not reach effectively. If you went with the sniper rifle I'd say something like Bronco or Afuris for when enemies get too close. Also, Bolto might not be a bad choice either because of its armor piercing effect, and it still maintains some good accuracy at range although the projectile is slow. You might also consider the bronco if you plan to fight infested, as the Furax doesn't do that much damage against unnarmored targets. (You can always spam its insanely powerful charge punch to 1-hit most regular infested, but it might not always be a good idea if you're getting swarmed by a ton of them, or you have to go up against one of the toxic ones at close range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakalwe Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Aklato, compliments the Sniperton much better than those Pie suggests, imo. Their fast rate of fire balances the single shot of that primary weapon. PS - Snipetron > Gorgon. <3 Edited January 21, 2013 by Zakalwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambarpowder Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I use a Hek and a Lex, because I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIMO Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Not a fan of Lex... i don't see it as very reliable. I like Aklato. By the time i get a second shot out with the Lex, i've already done twice the amount of damage with Aklato thanks to it's rate of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapricaSix Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Anything but Afuris, believe me that weapon is awful... it's hard to do any damage even on Mars, hard to level the weapon, doesn't really help anyone, and so on. I really hope devs will give it a major buff sometime soon. My personal favourite is Lex, slow but powerful, but Aklato is just as good as Zakalwe said.

Ronteque Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Does the Aklato have a hold left click and auto fire? Since you guys mention that the Lex is slow, I take it that it is only snap shot. But if the Aklato have such a high firerate.. Does it mean I have to left click like a mad man or just hold the left click to fire and forget? Yeah.. I am currently using the Gorgon and with the Bronco I feel like I lack the "Long range accuracy". I can still take snap shots with the Gorgon at long range but it just isn't as effective as using it at mid range. Ok I an torn between the Lex and Aklato. Although the Bolto sounds like fun sticking enemies to the wall but I don't think I will enjoy the "velocity" effect of the bolts. Unless... the Bolto is good against Corpus? Which pistol is the most effective against Corpus? Those freaking walkers and tin heads. My gorgon tears through Grineer and Infestation but the Corpus really give me the most headache especially on Pluto. I can hardly get near them with my Bronco.

Zakalwe Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Cick like a madman. Lex is okay, but it has a very slow rate of fire and takes ages to level due to having to two shot everything. In the time it takes between the massive delay between shots and its huge reload, you could have dropped three times as many with the Aklato, At higher levels I hear it does ok, but be warned it'll take some doing to get there.

Jasonjlx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) The best pistol in the game is the Aklato, you can fire them fast to pull off great dmg upclose or you can control the fire for nice acccuracy at a distance. You can pair them with whatever main gun you want. That being said sometimes "the best" just might not be your style because you can make other pistols work. I would say with the gorgon, I'd go Aklato, Bolto, or Lex. People cry about the lex but once its 30 and moded decently, it's like a pocket snipetron. It's dmg per second is lacking but the dmg per shot is insane if you can aim. Edited January 21, 2013 by Jadus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayblaze Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just goes to show how different ppl have different tastes, Aklato is good, but I love the Afuris and I find it really easy to level up. I do wish the accuracy were a bit better, but if they buffed the Afuris too much you wouldn't even need a rifle, it's that good once modded and leveled.

Jasonjlx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 It's really not about different taste, there's some general factors to include. Afuris might be you're personal favorite pistol, however if we where to fire at a target at a long range, you would barely touch it. Afuris is only an option if you're looking for upclose dmg. Aklato can do everything Afuris can plus more. Only benefit Afuris has is you can hold down the trigger for full auto, if that really matters to you.

Maybe it gets better at rank 30 but I couldn't stomach it that much, I remember many times when I'd empty a whole clip on a single enemy and barely scratching the dude with lots of "1" damage indicators floating about, getting headshots with that thing is tough :P Got any tips for me on Afuris? {besides patience} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilikaji Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Which pistol is the most effective against Corpus? Those freaking walkers and tin heads. My gorgon tears through Grineer and Infestation but the Corpus really give me the most headache especially on Pluto. I can hardly get near them with my Bronco. Aklato would be better then lex on corpus. I think lex compliments the gorgon better, but if its only corpus you want it for go with the aklato. Lex shines the most against grineer. Stick a lightning mod in the aklato then you can take quick shots at each crewman to stun them all, then finish them off safely. Then use your gorgon on any robots(freeze mod in gorgon would help deal with shields faster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleverbird Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Not sure if they "fixed" this yet, but if you dont aim (right mouse button, you obviously should always aim), the Aklato has a 100% accuracy. Pair it with a few nice mods, and you can headshot everything in just a few shots Still, I'm currently using the Lex with multishot, which does the job just as well.

Pastry Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I use the bronco and aklato, i feel the LEX is only good for long range. Basically go for what best suits your style of play :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volume Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Aklato with a LMB depress and release every 0.1 sec macro. Pinpoint accuracy no-recoil 36+ round clip submachinegun that does 1/3rd damage as a Lex but fires more than 20 times faster than a Lex. Simply ridiculous.

sambarpowder Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Guys, the Lex is like a pocket snipetron. Don't underestimate it. I have it on pierce, freeze and armor pen damage, I can hold off even infested if I line up my shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyclosarin Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm currently using the Burstron with a bunch of crit mods (lvl 25) and the Bolto (15) with my Rhino, I use the powerfists with them for the massive AP and due to the fact they make the rifle look so much more badass. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly do you set a macro on left mouse click? I am going with either Aklato or Lex... But if I have to click the left mouse like a mad man on my Aklato, I rather not risk spoiling my mouse and go with the Lex.

AutoexecDayly Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 get a macro... the aklato with macro is WAY better than the Afuris w/o or even w/ macro... personally, I'm an "up close and personal" kind of player, Hek saying "Sup?" every single kill and Bronco saying "Feeling lucky?" every shot...
