Best Heavy Melee Weapon For Rhino?

[Silver_Fox75]

I'm just about done building my rhino and am currently building/buying gear for him to use. I just bought a Lex for a secondary and am deciding what primary i want. But my biggest personal debate is over the heavy melee weapon i want to use with my soon to be acquired frame. While personal opinion>most things i wanted to see if the community could come to a general consensus to help me decide. Please and thank you :)

I personally enjoy my schindo the most

gram

[legionprobatio]

scindo, or fragor, but i prefer scindo

[Renthar]

Fragor is my personal favorite. It takes a while to wind up the big attacks and leaves you a little vulnerable...but if any frame can take it, it's Rhino.

[Lady_Khaos]

Manticore goes great with him. Also, Broncos suit him much better for a sidearm, especially with how big he is and how tiny the Lex is. Gorgon makes for a great match for primary. (Hint hint, this is my loadout.)

Listen to this guy ^

 

My personal taste is something that swings faster than your average heavy weapon. I prefer Hate, or maybe reaper prime

[Angius]

I'm using Gorgon, Twin Gremlin (previously Akbolto and Vasto) and Fragor with Brokk. I like to have fast swings (maxed Fury), since this, connected with IS and Roar will make you go berserk.

[Saenol]

Gram would get my vote, with Fragor a close second.

[Flackenstien]

I asked this same question when I was waiting for my RHINO to finish baking.
I went with Fragor, one of the best choices I've ever made, ever.

 

Such a loud, heavy, and devastating weapon.
Fits really well with RHINO's playstyle.

 

But if you're mostly going to face Infested, then you'd have to choose between Gram, Scindo, and Orthos..
Good luck with that..

Orthos Prime, since Rhino almost immune to stagger in his Iron skin. Best range, up to 5 targets, high charge damage, serrated on charge.

Can't farm for it? Orthos. Slightly slower than OP, slightly shorter than OP. Still, costs every penny.

[CaptainohCaptain]

...and, if you are up to style, not effectiveness, furax got you covered.

i know ur asking about heavy melee

 

but if your rolling acrid + flux rifle/ogris etc just use kestrel 

 

if u dont know why or what i mean then try it 

[Brimir]

Fragor.

 

 

Because it is a freaking hammer!

[squaresphere]

Anything that has high charge damage as long as you have reflex coil modded on it. The chick frames can keep their aoe, you can pop iron skin, stand in a middle of a pack and kill everything with your hands (weapons :D )

[Wiegraf]

Fragor against Grineer and Corpus; Gram/Scindo against Infested.

 

And if you want to be badass, Kogake to punch and kick enemies into oblivion while being semi-invulnerable. Seriously, I love doing a charge in a crowd then send enemies flying with kicks and punch them to death in the ensuing Hurticane; it just fits the style of Rhino, in my opinion.

Fragor.  Ignores Armor / Highest Crit Chance / Knockdown.

 

Oh, and it ragdolls enemies into the stratosphere.  

 

There is no contest IMO.

[Beas7ie]

Even though I play Excalibur and not Rhino I gotta say I love my Orthos.  Upgraded and modded it just becomes whirling death to anything and everything.

I like Fragor, but charge attacks from Gram do the same damage (and also ignore armor), while the normal attacks are noticeably faster and can still stagger. It also has a similar knockdown radius.

[Brimir]

All melee weapons ignore armour on charged strikes.

[Silver_Fox75]

Okay thanks for the tips everyone, i decided on a fragor that im leveling up with my excaliber while im waiting for my rhino to finish building

[Estred]

I prefer my Brokk hammer. If I want to charge-spam I have my Hate.

[weezedog]

Like the look of manticore best on Rhino, but I run Reaper Prime for the ridiculously fast swing speed. If they give us the option to disable so elemental graphics on weapons (don't like the fire and ice effect on it) I would go back to the manitcore I think.

Hate.

[Estred]

Hate.

I have found Hate/Reaper perform better on the somewhat squishier frames who would need a quick-charge attack and get out. I love Hate on Banshee because it's a good defense if I can't Sonic Boom.
