Hi I’m a relatively new player and currently MR5 and am still working my way through the star chart(At Saturn atm). I started with Mag and am currently using the Boltor.
I’ve been watching guides on YouTube and so have a basic understanding of how to achieve my build. However it seems a lot of the mods I require are out of my reach or require forma/potatoes.
When should I start following builds? Am I still too early?
I don’t have any forma blueprints nor any potatoes. Should I be grinding for them specifically now or only when I’ve gotten further?
Currently my Boltor has the following mods Serration rank 6, Infected Clip and Hellfire. I’ve seen that multi shot is important and the rifle multi shot mod can be dropped on spy missions at 5% chance. Is it worth grinding spy missions for it?
Any other advice would help too. Thank you!
On the one hand, the most “important” thing for you to do right now is to just keep on proceeding through the starchart. As long as you aren’t struggling with enemies, you’re good to just keep on going with that without taking too much time to farm unless you want to.
That said, it never hurts to get things early. Multishot really is a very powerful stat, and so long as you have enough Endo and Credits to rank it up it will be a big boost to your overall damage output. Spy missions can also get you pieces for the Ivara warframe, who is useful for a lot of stealth-oriented situations.
HOWEVER, please note that the rifle multishot mod doesn’t drop from spy missions - the shotgun multishot mod does. It looks like the easiest (albeit not the fastest) way to get Split Chamber from the planets you’ve currently unlocked is to do invasions and side with the Corpus enough times that the Grineer send an assassin killsquad after you, then wait for them to show up and kill them when they attack you. Just be careful - if they win, you’ll take a long-term debuff unless you spend some rare materials to remove it. Details on the assassins here.
