Digital Extremes · 100+ hrs

Difficulty

A free-to-play looter shooter where the Foundry, Void Relics, and a handful of corrupted mods are the campaign. Mastery Rank gates weapons; Steel Path is a mod check, not a frame check.

Tips

  • Start here

    Star chart, then the Foundry

    Don't sell Excalibur, Mag, or Volt. Complete the star chart nodes; that's the tutorial and the rail to every later quest. The Foundry takes real time, so queue the next weapon before you log off.

  • Start here

    Mastery Rank is a gate, not a flex

    Level each new weapon and frame to 30 once for Mastery, then forma the ones you actually like. A potato (Orokin Catalyst/Reactor) on a weapon you haven't fallen for is a wasted weekend alert.

  • Advanced

    Mods, not frames

    Corrupted mods from Orokin Vaults (dragon keys in the Derelict/Deimos vaults) are the power jump. A well-modded Mk-1 will outdamage an unmodded Prime. Aura and stance slots are extra mod capacity; use them.

  • Advanced

    Relics are the Prime farm

    Void Relics in endless missions, cracked with a squad for better rare rolls, are how Primes drop. Don't rush Steel Path until a real build (a melee with Blood Rush, a kitgun or a Kuva/Tenet weapon, and a frame with a survival tool) exists.

  • Secrets

    Cetus, Fortuna, and the Man in the Wall

    Open-world bounties in Cetus and Fortuna are standing, not just resources. The main cinematic quests (Second Dream, War Within, New War) are the story; they gate incarnon-era tools and should not be skipped because the star chart looked unfinished.

  • Builds

    One good melee, one gun, one frame

    A melee with Blood Rush / Weeping Wounds (Galatine Prime, Kronen Prime, or whatever the current incarnon is) plus a primary you have actually potatod will carry star chart. Don't forma six frames one time each.

  • Multiplayer

    Play the objective

    Don't AFK in public, don't spawn-camp the Eidolon lure, and don't start a Relic mission with an unupgraded relic if the squad asked for radshares. Follow the extraction timer; a 20-minute survival is a loot decision, not a loyalty test.
