As a Warframe player 1 BIG tip for modding I can give is to upgrade EVERY mod to at least level 1 so you can separate them from dupes at a glance so you never accidently sell them. cause you WILL get s FUCKTON of dupe mods to sell for Kuiper Shards used for upgrading other mods

[@user-cy7qg4ke6q]

[@meganclare7]

Amen

[@HalfBoiIed]

TFD has a feature that only toggles on dupes for dismantle.

[@zackspangler99]

substats wont matter until you start getting max level gear, substats DONT level up with the weapon level transmission, i had a young noble with 3 yellow stats, leveled it up to 45 from like 10 or so and all the substats were now grey and the substats themselves stayed the same, just junk everything, maybe once you get to a few levels to max or max gear it wont matter as much, but dont keep gear from early and mid game with the exception of ultimate gear, dont waste your mats on leveling up anything but the ultimate weapons.

[@ForgottenShinobi11]

Yep there no reason to look at mods on weapons until lvl 100 weapons

This was probably the BEST EVER 10 Tips video I watched about any game. I was already messing up. Liked and subscribed. And transfered it. 😄

[@frankwieser478]

Just hearing you talk makes me feel like there is no meta or the community doesn’t know what endgame looks like yet. Makes me excited to make mistakes and just enjoy the game. Figure it out for myself other then vids like this

[@axe2grind244]

True, like early D1. I was insta deleting every weapon whenever I got a higher light weapon no matter what it was.

[@Foxxie0kun]

On the subject of mods, I'd recommend first and foremost, in this order, upgrading these mods. Any sub attack mod for your descendant (This increases Descendant mod capacity based on its rank), then Max HP and Defense mods for descendant (Shields are currently a waste of investment since they recover so slowly and break so quickly anyway), then finally Firearm Attack % for the two types of guns you use the most (I prefer White Ammo and Green Ammo weapons). Firearm Attack % is INCREDIBLY important once you get to the level 50+ parts of your initial progression and is borderline mandatory to be able to defeat Executioner and Pyromaniac bosses, which both act as quite tough progression roadblocks. Remember that increasing your Firearm Attack % is also going to be increasing the efficacy of all other firearm mods, such as Critical Hit, Elemental, and Weak Point bonuses. Adding 8% Chill Elemental damage when fighting Pyromaniac is a lot better if your Base Firearm Attack % mod is higher leveled. It doesn't really make sense to ignore firearm mods just because you're replacing your guns so much, since a percentage increase that transfers from your previous Assault Rifle or Machinegun to the new one is only going to become that much more effective as the base stats start getting higher. It also helps to avoid falling into traps that waste your resources early on. Many guns right now don't have good enough critical hit stats to justify modding around them, but base damage % is always going to have value. Similarly, survivability for your descendant is more important to upgrade rather than using mod slots on 9% bonuses to other less important stats. It seems like some mods only really get real value once they're somewhat leveled up, and your initial priority should be to have high level HP, Defense, and sub-attack mods. What I don't understand is why would one choose one particular Sub Attack mod over any others, as I haven't seen a big damage or mobility difference between Shock Punch, Shortsword, and Kicking even when leveled. I even found one later on called Dual Claws, and I'm hesitant to level it up as it could just be a waste to level it when my maxed Shortsword works well and gives me 10 capacity.

[@ItzSgream]

Best Mtashed video i've seen in years. Thanks a lot Chad, much appreciated.

[@KinghtofZero00]

The first 3 minutes started and I'm already getting good advice

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

Don't lock weapon with "good" substats for later.. they don't matter. They will stay the SAME value when you use weapon transmission, meaning they will be garbage. (a golden rolled value will become grey)

[@coolet9132]

Thanks for the video, I was confused and sat in the menu for so long looking at the weapons over and over because another KZbinr said to do it to not regret getting rid of weapons.

[@weslawrence888]

The substats on low level gear doesn't matter. When you level up the weapon it just raises the damage, it doesn't raise the substats, so you will need to reroll the subs anyway.

[@geoffreylau4172]

But bringing the weapon level up lets say from lv9 to lv 30， sub stats （the 4 affixes）are still in the lv9 pool，even reroll the sub stats after levelling up to lv30， the % pool is still not upgrading to lv 30 pool. Am I doing something wrong please？

[@JAYZWRLD]

@@geoffreylau4172the sub stats are fixed to the level 9 gun. No matter how high you level the gun or even if you reroll sub stats done get boosted to the new level

Great video, those tips to auto filter what you want as junk was really useful

[@Longjumping-War2484]

I'm glad this video was made, cuz it basically details out what the whole idea of what an RPG is! What all these games are about! Where do you think RPG's came from? Wayyy back before they had Personal Computers, or PC's, there was a board game, among others, call "Dungeons & Dragons". It was a board game consisting of a board, like monopoly, a pair of dice, and cards! Those statical cards was the bread and butter of it all! That's what made them come alive! They were literally jammed packed with statistics about the characters, character classes, races, monsters, strengths, weaknesses, origins, etc. What do you think "RPG" stands for? Of course, "Roll Playing Game"! It was adopted and adapted from China into western culture, and into a board game, with an influence coming from J.R.R. Tolkiens Fantasy books, and now referred to as AD&D! So yeah, stat cards is what made it all happen. Without these stats in the game, this wouldn't be an RPG! So understanding how these these stats work, will make the game more than just an FPS shooter! Or a Tiktok video of Bunny, Lol!

[@Jabarri74]

1 thing I'd like to add is, bunny when played well is awesome when not its a noob trap. She gains no weapon xp from running around with the aoe field pulsing killing everything. Use someone else for weapon mastery points

[@discoocelot9578]

Thank you for explaining the weapon substats and how to identify the rolls worth keeping. Was trying to find that info last night and couldnt. A question I still have for later down the road is transcendant weapons and exotics. Do they have the same substat stuff/use the same upgrade materials? Also, what, if any, is the benefit of the "ultimate" versions of the characters? Is it just a skin or do they have better stats? Are they treated as separate characters for mastery?

[@TheJedifr33style]

[@genshotessaiga1657]

Quick tip When upgrading mods only equip which mod or mods you want to upgrade. Doing so allows you to upgrade to higher points without the limit cap holding you back.

[@SliCooper]

As somone who played Warframe, Destiny and a few RPG games, this game defintely feels like doing the sidequest can be a huge benefactor. Especially for weapons, unless you like a certain weapon, I agree on keeping the idea of "Floor is Lava" tactic. Thanks for the advice jumping to the other weapons, did not think about that

This was actually hella useful dude. I wish I would have heard this before I started.

[@joshbendix6102]

There are so many materials needed for all the different characters and weapons it’s kinda overwhelming. It doesn’t bother me that much as far as the quantity, but the research timer is a big bummer. When you finally get that item to drop so you can craft, it’s a big “oof” when you find out you have to wait 18 hours to use it. With that said I’m still interested enough in this game and it’s got my attention for now

[@whylikethismyfriend]

It will be like this since the game is new and they are looking at data and player retention and sales...soon they will need to readjust. Play casually for now and likely do research and do a lot of reading to prevent mistakes and save resources....and try to ask for help in global chat if you need in bosses, people respond and will invite you to a party. Remember you're not alone in this game

[@combativestelth6105]

It's better than Warframe. I don't even want to talk about how long that game took for weapons and frames to craft

[@whylikethismyfriend]

My advice on Gun mods just prioritize upgrading the Atk mod first then think about the other mods later...and reserve atleast 6 mod space for attribute atk in order for you to contribute in bosses if you have the mod the boss is weak to and some maps also have specific element weakness atleast you are flexible...your guns and mods will be better at endgame which you will need to really adjust your loadout per situation....and guys sometimes use the laboratory if you unlocked it there you can test things.... Dont horde on everything it will save you clicks and prevent carpal stress

[@GenocideLv]

tip 11 you unlock the full potential of bunny's giant GYATT if you have no helmet equipped. You then truly see that each cheek is 1.5x size of her entire head

[@VoidOfDopamine]

For module peeps in TFD there is a scrap duplicates option 13:46 look in bottom right. You will see the option it will always leave one remaining of that duplicate.

[@arisenprestige5717]

I love you tash, glad you’re covering this game

[@VampireNoblesse]

it still needs more meat on the bones, but as just released, its fine (upcoming seasons / content will fill it up).., but it already has gear / skins worth grinding!

[@SoldierBoy3064]

thank you for explaining it so I can easily understand this 😊

[@TrackMediaOnly]

In Warframe I always kept one mod at every level. That way I was always set not only for different builds, but when leveling other characters. Either every level or if there are different break points(you might have to wait one more level to switch, but that means you can keep less total mods).

[@lean9349]

New subscriber here. As a Warframe and The Division player, I have understood all that you said in the video. Great tips 👍🏻

[@diytrashpunks]

Thank you for your insight.

[@bigdogang]

Best part about this game it’s not warframe 24hr - 3 day wait for research is insane!. This game did it so well !!!

[@mikeh0nch0]

Another tip upgrading your sub module/melee modules it increases your capacity by 1 each level

[@eldurakopr]

Ayeee been with the Tashe man since D1

[@Sunda9]

Also, if this is anything like warframe, i wouldn't worry about maxing out mods in the beginning. For the longest time in warframe, i had my primed mods leveled to level 8 of 10 because the cost was so high before Endo (mod leveling resource) was introduced. I'm not sure if this game is going to be the same, but you might be better served putting those resources into another mod until you get them all to a certain point. Not sure if there are dminishing returns and all that.

[@romorales776]

so glad to see a friendly face playing this

[@anarchyaelle]

Also a Warframe player, for Mastery rank, you should keep at least one copy of every weapon (regardless of stats) just to level them up in the future.

[@imotje]

@Zaouik Dont do that, there is litterly an option in this game to select all your duplicates that are not leveled just hold shift and then dismantel all duplicate mods. PS holding on to low level loot beceause it has a good roll is nonsence. if it has a godroll with 100 fire attack and whatever else, when you upgrade the weapon to level 100 is litterly keeps the exact same amount. meaning you will have +100 dmg on a weapon that does 15k per shot. and if you use an item to reroll so that the stats go up, then what did you hold the item for?

[@whylikethismyfriend]

This is correct, no sense on holding. just upgrade and upgrade the gun you like atleast better look for percentages roll rather than flat amount VS this VS that because all of these rolls are only mostly effective at endgame...

[@AkbaarPCD]

I saw so many videos , this is the video ! He like angry teacher xd

[@Proxylamborg]

Been enjoying the game so far!

[@H4W69]

Problem with getting a low level "god roll" gun is that ive noticed when you upgrade them to a higher level, the substats stay the same value. Thats a problem because the higher a weapon level is, the "floor and ceiling" for the substats raises. Say you have a level 20 weapon with gold firearm stat at 4.5% attack. A level 40 weapon has a floor of 5% and ceiling of 7.5%. If you level the 20 wep to 40, you keep the 4.5% attack which isnt gold stat anymore. Its white. And the gun is now doo-doo

[@combativestelth6105]

I think that's why there's that re roll option. I only level up ultimate, so I haven't messed with much. I'm waiting till I hit Fortress to start re rolling and all that

[@user-cy7qg4ke6q]

I like how you got straight to the point and still puts some jokes in the vid

[@cviniciusm]

Hello, Each Reactor synergy with an elemental, the little center image is the element, you were using a solar one so the description shows "burning", the one that appears an electric ray is "arc"/"electrical" element. So, why you were using a "solar" Reactor instead of an "electrical" one? Thunder Cage has "arc"/"electrical" "traits" so it synergizes better with Bunny, so why I could use another non ultimate weapon instead?

[@treyparker2989]

Mtashed! looking great brother

[@Vensethos]

For the reactors with the weapon bonus, is the bonus for if you just have it equipped in one of your 3 weapon slots or do you actively need to be holding it in your hands?

[@workingdonut2006]

You only need to have it equipped to get the bonus, you don’t need to be actively using it.

[@Haschlatte42]

There are different reactors, some say have equipped some say have mounted. Have mounted means you have ti be using it, habe equipped u just have to have it equipped of course

Hey mtash when it comes to the rarity of a stat on a weapon that is determined by how high in the range the stat is. For example a gold stat means its on the higher end of the possible range for that stat. Therefore if you get a gold stat on the weapon, you can safely assume its on the higher end of the stat range for that specific stat
