Did the Riven mods spark your love for an old weapon?

[Night4ce]

Has the Riven mods brought life back to your old favorite weapon? All I see are people sharing and boasting about the top tier weapons with the mods. I know they added levels of effectiveness depending on the weapon but still.. I just want to hear if anyone picked up their olden golden guns with new hopes. (I'm looking forward to getting an Opticore Riven mod)

[--Q--Ascended-Seraphim]

It did. 

Then I realised that I'd never get the ideal riven mod for the weapon I want based on the RNG upon RNG. 

And that killed it again.

I used the Supra a lot after it received some changes to how it worked previously. Picked up a riven mod that needed several cycles before I was satisfied with what I got, mostly used it for the syndicate mod effect from Suda. Didn't change much for me though.

[Vance.Stubbs]

My first Riven mod was great: +damage, +multishot and +fire rate for Boltor. Sadly, I don't care about boltor weapons and I don't even have potatoes installed in my Boltor Prime or Telos Boltor, so I sold it for 600 plat.

 

Other rivens I got were two for Vulklok, one for Burstron and one for Karak. The Karak one is great and I enjoy using this weapon now. If only we had a skin for Karak Wraith outside of conclaive, because PvP is dead now :(

I wish I get Opticor, Daikuy, Tetra, Dera, Rubico or Dread riven some day...

[Olav152]

Daikyu.

[Icpmcp]

nope

still use the same guns as before(but with rivens now :P)

 

But I don't really see the need to use weapons that were bad before with riven mods now.

Do a few Sorties and you'll get one as a reward.

Havent gotten a riven for a weapon I own yet. The rivens I have gotten so far has been quite ok but none have made me want to rebuild and forma up the required weapon.

2k endo, 2k endo, 2k endo  ---> repeat infinitely, that"s how my sorties goes. All hail RNG, best reward system ever

My first one turned out to be a pretty nice Dread mod, so that's had me revisiting my stealth loadout a bit. More recently, I got a good one for the Ignis that's made me dust it off and take it to some Infested runs. Also got a Daikyu one, but I'm not a Daikyu fan and it's kind of terrible besides.

Still, I like the idea, especially now that Kuva siphons spawn a lot more reliably.

Hell, no. No way I gonna plunge into that Riven-Madness with all its current randomness, not even for top tier weapons.

But you're right - those mad enough to farm Riven Mods don't do it for their beloved Teta or Braton... and those who actually still use all the old crap weapons (newcomers) are blocked out from the whole affair by the necessary MR.

Im going to have to say no. Flux rifle is my most used primary and my favorite weapon in the game. Riven mods just made it more viable. I always liked the tigris because im not good at aiming and it feels the best out of the other shot guns IMO.

 

Im still trying for that god roll though. so many negative damage value rolls T-T

When we get mods for secondaries and I can bring back my 6 Forma Kraken then yes

I wouldnt mind a secondary riven for my Lato Vandal

[LascarCapable]

So far, not really since I have no riven mod that sparks up my non-meta weapons. I had something for Karak and Snipetron, but I don't like those two weapons, so I got rid of them. I did got something for Sybaris and Zarr though, but I don't think I can consider them as underperforming weapons.

One thing that might interest me is a +Slash +Status mod for Flux Rifle.

I take it back. And I even go further and out myself as a the proud member of the MK1-Braton Appreciation Club (members need to forma the MK1 Braton six times or more).

[Mastikator2]

The first one I got was for Laser Rifle (the wyrm weapon). All it did was spark my salt and made me not want to use riven mods.

[Nattand]

yes for me , since the riven came out i was trying use my old crafted weapon n its works fine really . but the problem i see here even the most used (and one of my fav weapon) are getting riven too . its make me confused which one to use . rarely used weapon or my favorite one?
but here some example :

Spoiler

totaly feels great with the riven installed

[PapaFragolino]

Idk man, the only Riven mod I got was from TWW and I instantly sold it because it was for the Grakata, one of the weapons I hate the most.

When sorties will finally stop giving me lenses and endo, I hope to get a Riven for the Braton.

Why not 8 times? LOL

[Beggining]

Not exactly an old weapon, but I got a good Buzlok mod and decided to try it: liked it ever since riven mods made it a fast-firing, crit-stacking machine :3

On the other hand, I got a Burston mod, so I can experiment more on my Burston Prime :D

[Syvarin]

It did, actually. My first Riven mod was for the Sybaris, a weapon I ranked to 30 and forgot about. I had to forma my Dex Sybaris seven times, but now it's a pretty good weapon.

Hasn't DE implemented a restriction on how many Endo rewards you can get in a row? I mean I like Endo and all. Sortie is my biggest Endo income, though I should try actually farming for Endo. I find myself needing Endo to max these Riven mods more than getting my hands on the things. I agree the RNG on a RNG on a RNG is a bit daunting but doesn't it make you feel more accomplished to get a mod for a weapon you liked? And with Kuva easier to farm, rolling the thing isn't so bad.. till a certain point.. maybe there should be a cap on rolling..
