Q & A

What is the recommended weapon for Mastery Rank 2?

The recommended weapon for Mastery Rank 2 is the Boltor, which is a fully automatic nail gun that fires massive ball BS and does primarily puncture damage.

Why might Mastery Rank 3 be considered weak in terms of weapon options?

Mastery Rank 3 is considered weak because the weapons unlocked at this rank, such as the Gorgon, Paris, Tetra, and Vulcar, are not particularly great, especially not early on in the game.

What weapon is suggested for Mastery Rank 4 and where can it be acquired?

For Mastery Rank 4, the Heck is recommended and can be acquired from the market. Additionally, the Torrid is suggested, which requires being in a clan to acquire its blueprint from the biolab in the dojo.

Which weapon is recommended for Mastery Rank 5 and why?

For Mastery Rank 5, the Ignis or the Tonor are recommended. The Ignis is a Grineer flamethrower that does pure heat damage and is excellent for farming. The Tonor is a grenade launcher with good damage and crit chance, making it the best early game explosive weapon.

What is special about the weapons recommended for Mastery Rank 6?

For Mastery Rank 6, the SA and Rubico are recommended. The SA is a fully automatic primary rifle with high crit chance, and the Rubico is a solid and cheap sniper rifle, though it's not recommended for the rest of the game due to the general subpar performance of sniper rifles in Warframe.

Why is the Soma Prime suggested for Mastery Rank 7?

The Soma Prime is suggested for Mastery Rank 7 because it is an excellent fully automatic rifle with huge crit chance and solid status, and it has an incar Genesis upgrade to make it even stronger later on.

What is the significance of the Stto in Mastery Rank 8?

The Stto is significant in Mastery Rank 8 because it is a monstrous shotgun with its own G condition overload effect, doing more damage based on the number of status effects on the enemy, and a secondary fire that fires a bouncing glaive that procs a lot of status.

Why might the Excelra be difficult to acquire in Mastery Rank 8?

The Excelra might be difficult to acquire because it can only be obtained from the Dark Sector disruption or on Uranus where it has a 1.5% chance to drop from demolish or infested enemies, requiring an average of about 80 kills to get it.

What is the recommended weapon for Mastery Rank 9 and how can it be acquired?

For Mastery Rank 9, the Ignis Wraith is recommended and can be acquired from Grineer Veil Proxima in hidden data Al caches, or possibly from a clan chem lab or the Barer void Trader.

Why is the Amp Prime highly recommended at Mastery Rank 10?

The Amp Prime is highly recommended at Mastery Rank 10 because it is a chain lightning gun that does pure electricity with huge crit chance and very solid status, making it a versatile and powerful weapon for various situations in the game.
