Wafflessyrup Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So I want a new shotgun, but I don't know whether I want the Hek or the Sobek. If any of you have an opinion on which is better, please reply and tell me why. I need to know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3Evanescence Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Better? Hek>Sobek in Burst DPS Sobek>Hek in Sustained DPS Anyway, just pick the gun you like! It is easier that way! C: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris9428 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hek is overrated in my opinion. I prefer my almighty Boar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkion Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 you could do what X3Evanescense said, or you could just get them both! since both are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonvision Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 i know most people prefer the sobek, but i personally prefer the hek. i can say how either will fare after several forma, but i suspect sobek might scale better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIMO Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 After using both for an extended amount of time, Sobek always seemed more reliable. However, it's all preference in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hek is overrated in my opinion. I prefer my almighty Boar. I like the boar as well. It's not as powerful as the hek or sobek, but the reload speed, fast fire rate along with ammo modifiers, make it a really fun weapon to use.

Vilemyre Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sobek if you use the build with 150 AP 150 Attack speed and 150 damage. It turns into an aa12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1ru Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 sobek deals moderate damage, is semi-automatic, and comes with a massive magazine (for shotguns). sobek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kato-san Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I did a DPS test, and Sobek almost doubles the DPS of Hek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerikin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sobek is a better weapon overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnIratePenguin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hek is really op its like a ..... Just take Hek Are we playing the same game? The Hek is trash on anything over level 60. Granted, it used to be pretty OP before everything got a buff and it got nerfed. If we are talking about an OP weapon here then look at the flux rifle not the fricking Hek. FYI; I prefer to use the sobek as the ability to sustain damage, I find, is better than the Hek as they do about the same damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato-san Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/89592-quickest-boss-kill/ Maybe this will help you with deciding Sobek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you high or incredibly stupid? lol my hek destroys everything on T3 void (above 60 bro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlchemistMute Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Are you high or incredibly stupid? lol my hek destroys everything on T3 void (above 60 bro) Neither are trash on anything because they both deal similar damage and have the same potential 150% AP damage. Sobek has a reload time comparable to a Gorgon, but it can shoot 20 times and deal enough damage to kill an enemy in one or two bursts. Hek can kill 4 enemies before it reloads, but the reload isn't too long. It's damage is just enough to kill an enemy in one blast. Sobek feels like a firecracker with it's fast firing and average recoil, while Hek feels like a cannon with it's giant recoil and slow firing. They're both pretty good. When it comes to sustained DPS (think bosses or heavy units), Sobek deals more DPS. When it comes to burst DPS (quick accurate shots at multiple enemies), Hek is better. They're both reliable shotguns, both are accurate, both shoot 4 pellets, both have similar damage. They just have slightly different uses. You pick. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafflessyrup Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Wow. Thanks for all the feedback! Looks like the Sobek was the most recommended, so that means I'm going to get one! I was hoping the Sobek would be the favorite, because the Hek takes 1000 rubedo to build. I don't have 1000 rubedo. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraSonicBoom Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Depends on what you want to do with it mainly. Sobek is better for sustained DPS over a larger group of enemies, HEK better for smaller groups of targets at medium range. I don't use shotguns for these playstyles but to take down key targets fast while otherwise relying on my secondary/melee. BOAR is kind of the king of that.
