(XBOX)xBLADEPANTHERx Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) It could be a weapon that you love to use for any reason, but is very unpopular of just not recognised within the community. For me it would have to be the tysis, now I'm not sure how popular this weapon is, but I rarely ever see anybody use this, despite it being capable of killing grineer troops with ease, even bombards are afraid of what this weapon is capable of. So what about you, what's a weapon that you love but is never seen in anyone's arsenal? Edited July 10, 2018 by (XB1)xBLADEPANTHERx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)LubzinNJ Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I don't know if it's underrated but I never see anyone else using it, the polearm Serro. 4 60/60 mods, CO, and prime reach/fury/pressure point and it cuts through just about anything, especially when mixed with Saryn spores.

den2k Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hystrix. I never saw it played by anyone. It's a critical machine and gets 100% status on her selected attack element, which is changeable on the fly. Watch it expand tons of critical electrical procs in groups of enemies or setting fire to tough ones. It is not perfect: low capacity and high RoF makes it a bullet eater and projectile travel time makes it hard to use at long range but it's a nice CC weapon and a very good sidearm.

Mama_Sasha Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Torid being one of them since not even the devs seems to care much about it (no PBR nor new reload animation). For me that weapon have been with me since Gradivius Dilemma and saved my metal butt countless times with its DPS type where it melts any armor and hp (Even helps out on a Teralyst's armor as well). For Secondary that has to be Twin Gremlins, same story as the Torid, quite powerful sidearms with omni damage. But then again, i never play online with others so i wouldnt know what is underrated or not, just based on how much these weapons are mentioned being used.

SenorClipClop Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The Daikyu springs to mind, though I'm not sure if I can call it underrated. There are those who don't care for it for any of several reasons (charge time, flight speed, semi-auto fire etc), but it has a dedicate fanbase.

Koldraxon-732 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 There's quite a number of weapons that are underrated, such as Nikanas when using Blind Justice, or Lato Vandal, or virtually any critical-viable primary with a viral/hunter munitions setup which shreds through most thing with little trouble. The newest Nikana - the Skiajati - is cast low and ignored due to the deemed-inferior stats, but it, with a condition overload and blood rush setup with Organ shatter in for good measure, is capable of really killing everything when the combo counter builds, and can cause brief invisibility on successful stealth finisher kills. As for others, I'd say bows and throwing secondaries generally have become ignored because they don't kill hordes with ease like Corinth, Zarr, or Lenz can. Though this is primarily speculation as I seldom check the armaments of squad-members. If you mean weapon types DE haven't given more to, I would point at: Spoiler -Heavy Blades. -Staves. -Scythes. -Sword-shields. -Whips. -Sword-whips. -Hammers. -Tonfas. -Throwable melees. -Gunblades. Non-melees: -Bows. -Spearguns (I feel they need more damage, specifically Javlok, since it doesn't kill enough even when I gave it a Riven that amp'd the damage, might build it again later but as of now it failed to meet my expectations). -Crossbows. -Unique weapons, like launchers. As for visuals, there's A LOT of weapons and numerous non-Prime Warframes that are desperately in need of a PBR uplift, like the normal Rhino, countless alt-helmets for all Warframes, some Syandanas and attachments, and Stalker's Arsenal (Dread/Despair/Hate, and himself pre-Second Dream).

NinjaZeku Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm currently having a lot of fun with Ogris and Panthera, don't see those recommended / used much at all. Twin Kohmak with a Riven that allows for 100% Status comes somewhat close to being on the same level as its big brother Kohm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulubuy1 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Glaxion. Got buff still useless to face of Tenno, yet I use it, riven it, potato'd it. Mold it. ~ gonna use it to Lotus once DE releases The New War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zavenosk Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Opticor minus hunter munitions It deals enough raw damage to remain viable without criticals through sorties, and nothin' survives a death laser to the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully I actually hated quite a bit when it first released, but I hug onto it since I sacrificed my miter for it. Came back to it when I got a riven for it and have loved it since. It's especially fun to run around with a max fire rate build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Pandemic- Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I almost never see other players using the Zakti. It is my main sidearm, and I just recently got a pretty good riven for it! Virtually unlimited range on a perfectly straight trajectory, insane reload speed, procs for days from a fairly good AOE!! Couple it with the Glaive Prime's throw and behold the massive damage output! Plus... it's AOE alone will easily clear a room!! On PoE use it to nuke from above in an Arcframe in instances such as the Plague Star event! This thing clears trash mobs around the Hemocyte from an Arcframe with ease so the rest of your group can focus on taking out the boss!! Build it for multi-shot, elemental damage like gas or viral, toss in a -recoil mod and maybe some extra fire rate and say hello to your new best friend!

TheGrimCorsair Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Twin Rogga. Enormous damage, puncture biased, absolutely enormous amount of pellets, and able to be built to 100% status chance with just 4 60/60 mods, leaving a slot open for reload speed, punch-through, or an elemental mod for weighting procs.

Buttaface Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) As much min maxing goes on in this game (puzzling in light of the game's easiness), it's interesting to me that you can buy several of the beam weapon rivens dirt cheap in light of their post buff power, while shotgun rivens hold their high prices despite disadvantages such as falloff and small magazines. Could make a long list of candidates, but OP asked for one, so my pick will be buffed Flux Rifle with the also buffed Flux Overdrive. Great status spreader, slash especially, and with a cheap riven and decent rolls, truly beastly. Edited July 10, 2018 by Buttaface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicasajt Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Primary: stradavar, dera v, paracyst Secondary: magnus Melee: mios, jat kusar these are all excellent weapons, but they do need rivens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.Katsura_999 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) A good riven will make even the trashiest weapon usable except for cough* cough* Krakken cough* cough* Primary: Astilla - Nothings beats pumping the enemy full of radioactive glass covered with aids. Secondary: Furis - winds of purity mod make this an alternative to lifestrike mod Melee: Redeemer/Sarpa - effectively a your second primary weapon that wrecks faces.

Vox_Preliator Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Stradavar, though I wish it was just a bit stronger. I love how it looks and sounds, and the handling is wonderful, but it just feels weaker than all the other Auto/SemiAuto Switch weapons. Dual Toxocysts. These things tear through enemies, as long as you can hit that first headshot, and then you can just fire as fast as you can around head height and keep the buff going. Sigma and Octantis. It really does suck that it's locked behind nearly two years of logins, I love this thing. Fast, strong, great Cit stats, good Status chance, it's been tearing up Sortie-level enemies easily, and it can open up tougher foes to finishers on demand. Plus, it's an actual Sword and Shield in the Sword and Shield category. It also gives some kind of buff when blocking damage, though I'm not actually sure what it is.

K4RN4 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Kesheg: high base damage and the highest crit multiplier among polearms make it a good spin2win weapon, especially with a good riven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
