Gauss vs Volt: 500m Race - Who's The Faster Warframe?

Place your bets.
_
#Warframe #Gauss #Volt

[@Obdimus]

A few things to note: I probably should have made the power strengths the same in both builds, but I needed the extra duration on Gauss to maintain Mach Rush long enough to last the duration of the race. The reason Volt starts first is because it takes time to accelerate to its top running speed, unlike Gauss who achieves top speed instantly upon activation of Mach Rush. The idea was that I'd measure which frame was faster _at its top speed,_ or to be more specific, the top speeds that I personally could get out of them at the time I recorded this. It was more of a scientific experiment in limits than strictly a drag race. A newer video with equal builds and no head starts can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnLXZ2iQbs91mbM

[@youre_not_rolling9961]

Volt doesn’t need headstart even if it’s “unfair” that gauss practically teleports

[@Ulquiorraof4]

Sadly mach rush speed doesnt factor in power strength. That would have been mind blowing.

[@Obdimus]

@@Ulquiorraof4 Ya, it'd be cool if it did, or maybe if there was an augment to do that. Here I was adding power strength just to squeeze as much as I could out of Infested Mobility.

[@saintdane7336]

Volt has always been the fastest honestly, but Gauss has his speed weaponized. Also he can move top speed instantly while volt needs time to build speed

[@whysoserious4274]

Pretty sure we're talking grounded units here Wukong shouldn't count cuz the dude's in flying mode Flying speed is different than ground speed Titania neither and don't even get me started on nova She's got instant teleport so she's disqualified

[@chongert6396]

@dood mandood yes but we’re not talking about mere speed. in missions, gauss has more viability since his entire build is centered around speed synergy. most missions also have tight corridors, and gauss is able to reach his max speed in small bursts. gauss’ 1st ability can also be treated as an attack rather than pure mobility, but i don’t think any of the other frames can say the same

[@lapislazoli]

@Clips he feels faster because of the FOV increase volt if given room can be faster but Gauss has instant speed so if you want speed faster go Gauss if you want more speed as you go then go volt it just depends on ones play style and needs

[@cathedral1375]

Former Rhino main... I played both, but in races on Rhino against Nezha I always TOASTED the Nezha. Also, my solo speedruns were faster on Rhino; purely for control. Granted, on Eidolon there was no contest - but in the Void or Derelict, Rhino can consistently outperform a lot of other frames (or at least used to be able to when I played) due to mobility potential paired with precision. x/

[@Obdimus]

Agreed, they're both great frames.

[@falloutsurvivor5925]

Let's agree to disagree but I haven't had a volt best me yet in any speed challenge maybe if I gave them a head start but I main gauss on all sorts of missions and I have speed volts run with me all the time for competition 313% power strength is most speed volts and I dont get lapped or overtaken if you main volt and lap gausses then thier not built for max speed I rarely use mach rush so its not a relative speed its actual speed volts only chance is longevity over burst he builds speed over time as long as he doesnt slow down

[@falloutsurvivor5925]

It's like cars basically. Take a supercharger (Gauss) vs a Turbocharger (Volt). A Supercharger offers instant boost whilst the turbocharger takes time for it to charge or "Spool up" . Long story short, Long distance Volt wins but short distance Gauss wins. Volt by far is the fastest, even though my favorite is Gauss.

Gauss is basically almost as fast as volt and even Gauss with a speed build is viable in a mission unlike volt with a speed build

@VeganWiener kzbin.info/www/bejne/sImsg4uXe5yjeNU Volt is faster than Gauss Gauss is quicker than Volt Volt wins in races around at least 750m But if the race is 200m then Gauss wins Volt wins all day, and that video link I put there, I'm not the fastest Volt and I have a friend who's Volt is faster than my Volt by 2.56 seconds faster than my Volt. And in that video link if the race was a lot longer with nothing in the way then my Volt would beat my Gauss by 4.38 seconds faster, I wasn't done building up my Speed to my Full Potential which is why I was still Rolling Ngl, but my Volt still won the race without even reaching in my Full potential Speed on Volt in that video link xD. Helminth or no Helminth, Volt wins all day. And dont even try going higher than 300% strength on Molt because Molt has a CAP of 300% strength so my Gauss build is the fastest rn and none can go above it.
