Ok
Are nodes like the dungeon mission where the blink blue of you haven’t done them, like just kinda do those and I’ll get my footing as I go?
As for planet progression is there a particular order, does each planet has its pros and cons. Like why would I wanna visit fortuna for free roam rather than the plains on earth or vise versa
And then as I said before I have gauss prime and his two weapons that’s an AOE (I think it’s aoe) rifle and a dual weilding pistol rocket launcher, but should I stick with those cus they feel really powerful
And then on the topic of gauss any tips for him if you know him? I’ve been using the #2 armor ability on combat whenever I can, and activate over drive if there’s a lot of enemies or a few tough ones (or both). Then using his #3 ability the damage circle, I hold the button to use heat if I’m not in overdrive, but if I am I’ll use the cold one to keep the battery up. Is that generally a good strategy? I also have problems keeping energy up, but I think that’s more user error
Free Roam missions will generally be used to gather specific resources, earn reputation with a faction or quest progress. I'd recommend against doing one unless you know you're doing it for one of those reasons, and other than quests, you really shouldn't worry about it for a while.
The difference between plants is most generally described as just being different level ranges, as you get stronger, it's better to do higher levels because they give better rewards.
The game generally has 3 large gating mechanics: Star Chart, Quests and Mastery Rank.
Sometimes quests and Star Chart progress over lap, sometimes a quest is locked behind star chart progress or star chart progress is locked behind a quest, sometimes they just 2 different things. The more you unlock them, the greater the variety of warframes, weapons and mods you'll have, but some things, largely weapons (but also very importantly the minimum number of mod points you have for everything) are gated by what mastery rank you have. You gain MR largely by leveling warframes, weapons and companions to max level the first time.
For a while, you should try to make sure every mission you do is in service to at least one of getting new warframes, weapons or companions, progressing your star chart by completing new missions (especially those which lead to a junction to a new planet) or progressing a quest. Additionally, during each mission you do, you should try to be leveling new warframes, weapons and companions, as many as you can while still completing the missions.
If you kill an enemy with an ability, your warframe gets all the XP. If you kill an enemy with a weapon, the weapon and warframe share the XP. If a teammate kills an enemy near you, the XP gets spread between your warframe and each weapon. If the thing receiving XP is max level, the XP is totally wasted.
Ok thanks for the advice
So using the same weapons and frame (like my gauss prime) is generally bad
But my focus should just be progressing across a planet
And as for this
Wdym like getting Warframe blueprints or what
At the core I mean don't run a mission to just run a mission, have a reason. Ask yourself "why am I running this mission?" If you can't answer with something related to a quest, progressing your star chart or building a new frame or weapon (blueprint or materials), that mission might not be a good use of your time at the moment.
Well yes and no, in the end they will have to clear every star chart node to progress so that is also an option as the reason, even if there is no specific progress towards a frame or weapon.
Ah makes sense
So is there anything that will let me progress towards getting new weapons or is it like getting new Warframes (and their parts) where it will be obvious
A good tip for weapons is to check out the market tab in game, go to the weapons section and sort by only show with blueprint available. It will show a good number of weapons where you can get the blueprint for credits and you can check if you have the necessary resources to build it in advance.
Otherwise, you will unlock blueprints for weapons during missions and quests. Also look on YouTube how the relic system works, that will explain how you get prime warframes and weapons.
Alright. Thanks. So basically just like I’ve gotten frame blueprints from those free roam missions o can do the same with weapons right. Or I could just buy the blueprints from the market is what your saying
As a new player you will mostly get new weapons blueprints from the market because they are generally cheap to craft and you won't have to worry about grinding blueprints/parts drops.
You can also get some weapons as drops but just like with Warframes, there is usually one part that you will basically not get by accident because of its low drop rates.
No it’s not necessarily bad, it’s a game after all and you should enjoy playing it. However, to progress and unlock all content you will need to level a decent amount of weapons and frames for the mastery. So try to get new frames/weapons as you’re progressing through the blinking nodes & the story quests. If you enjoy the new frame or weapon, continue using them, if not then just go back to one you enjoy, but try to always max the frames/weapons level before moving on.
Ok so I’m really enjoying gauss prime so continue using it but also switch things up occasionally
