How Gauss Perfected Warframe

[@NovaUmbral]

EDIT: U26 buffed heat forgot to mention this but it was a good boost to Gauss and sunder. Apologies! EDIT 2: Sorry for the slight typos at the beginning On December 23rd, over a year ago I started this "series" where I dive into warframes with great detail, going over their abilities, design and meta history. Over the past 12 months I've learned a lot. Made new friends and changed my perceptions about video creation forever. Genuinely, thank you for sticking around and watching my videos. It makes me really happy that people enjoy these videos and wait for new ones. With Gauss we began, and today its time we celebrate the 1 year anniversary, with Gauss... revisited.

[@Havok91]

I literally re-watched that video TODAY, along with Kyaii's, to clarify everything I'd overlooked with Gauss (whom I'd considered one of my favorite Warframes despite not understanding his kit beyond his 4th and 1st abilities). I was fighting burnout as hard as I could, but I didn't have the attention span with Warframe to understand all of his nuances. Now that Prime is here, once I've got all of his parts, it'll be time for my own Gauss Revisit.

[@Forsakenruler]

I will make you experience the irl red line experience lol bro don’t test me I am going to make sure you gonna be moaning to if you don’t take about warframe players

[@Mackatron-qy7vb]

1 thing to note about Thermal Sunder is when using it for armor stripping is that it converts all the possible heat proc damage including DOTs into 1 singular blast proc. So if you have a weapon that can apply tons of heat procs fast then cold sunder you can do millions of damage in singular blast proc armor stripping and nuking them at the same time

[@JohnDegen3]

Yo bro the music at beggining is not Sonic Frontiers Cyberspace 2-6 but Sonic Frontiers Cyberspace 1-6

[@Did_No_Wrong]

The thing that makes Gauss so perfect is that his kit felt so complete and all his abilities compliment each other so perfectly that you dont need to subsume.

[@welcometochiles6156]

Yet, if you still wish, you can replace thermal sunder for a sidegrade such as energised munitions (say, to make Zarr actually usable.)

[@spyciarz170]

His first ability feels like that scene from the Pirates of The Carribean when Jack looks at Jones through a telescope and he ZOOMS IN on him.

[@Dankturboz]

The best part is that if you’re a veteran and have mastered warframe’s movement system, his Mach rush gives a whole new forward movement dimension both in air and on ground with quick taps

[@sammy_wills]

Gauss can technically fly if you aimglide and tap mach rush lol

[@princesscadance197]

What I find most fascinating about Gauss isn't his speed, as according to the ability page, he tops out at around 55MPH, not the 767.269MPH that is actual Mach 1, but rather his acceleration and deceleration. Dude reaches max speed nearly instantaneously, stops to idle just as fast.

[@brandonprice6448]

Definitely, his strength lies in agility, not as much top speed. First person I’ve heard that seems to understand that. People compare Volt and his speed all the time, but they miss this entirely.

[@shaydonwoolstenhulme4436]

For gameplay purposes yes, but lore wise gauss is much faster of course.

[@southerncowpoke1207]

In his prime trailer Gauss SLOWS DOWN to flick a bullet, catching it, then puts it back on trajectory to a guy's head. With an intermediate cartridge having an average muzzle velocity of about 3,000 ft/s, or 2,000 mph, that means even lowballing the shit out of his speed gauss canonically reaches at least mach 2. And he doesn't look like he's straining to hit it

[@cringe9047]

Gauss is by far my favourite Warframe, over 2000 hours and he’s at over 50% usage. The love Gauss has gotten from DE with this prime access warms my heart, thanks for another video on my boy

What I wish you mentioned/showcased would be that TS is so strong it can easily *nuke* SP-tier enemies even without all the boosting with just 40% strength and maybe A. Vitality. Gotta love the Flash frame, man!

[@NovaUmbral]

I dive into the various strategies of Thermal Sunder and even show it with 0% battery

[@Box-O-Soldier]

@@NovaUmbral I know, I know, I just wanted to point out that Gauss *really* doesn't care about strength at all, and you can still perform ridiculously well while ignoring that stat, accounting for the math or not - by no means do I want to hate on the vid, it's great!

[@RossKyle95]

Ideally you still want base line strength to maximums kinetic platings full potential

[@Box-O-Soldier]

@@RossKyle95 *casually slaps on Molt Augmented* Seriosuly though, you can cover an area so huge at that point I'm not even sure if you need it to be at full potential, adaptation would work just fine, too.

[@MuTHa_BLeePuH]

ngl i thought it was pretty common knowledge, his thermal sunder can even nuke enemies super easily at level cap

[@ShangusKhan]

For a while with gauss I just dumped duration on him and made him a weapons platform frame. But with the citrine update I wanted to farm Mirror defense efficiently by myself and tried a full range thermal tsunder build and man, Gauss really is good at everything.

[@WwZa7]

I only removed thermal sunder to replace it with infested speed, for maximum speed memery

[@inkdude]

I did the same

[@jjm2980]

if you want to go a step further, replace his 4 with infested speed, equip precision intensify, and as many sprint speed and strength mods as you can, equip amalgam serration on primary, use Ruvox and on its 2nd evolution select gathering momentum, put dispatch overdrive and tennokai on the ruvox. equip arcane Phantasm In mission, gain 12x combo counter for ruvox, block some attacks till Arcan Phantasm activates, and continue attacking, wait for tennokai at max combo, then heavy attack. Activate 4 and then press 1. Profit. Feel free to add any other frame to your team to further buff you, or if you want an extra (less consistent) buff, equipt runtime on your parazon and do a hack during the process of activating all the other buffs to add another 75% sprint speed. going at that speed has already caused me permanent brain damage, so unless you dont wanna loose your sanity aswell, i would not recommend this build for normal missions. Not only is it completely over the top but removing the 4 from Gauss is heresy.

[@sethlancaster9761]

IMHO Gauss was one of the few frames who demonstrated that meta and fun are not mutually exclusive. Being able to zip around any tileset at great speed, being tanky AND being a strong gun platform are usually gimmicks on their own - Mirage is a great gun platform but is built like paper. Revenant and Xaku are fantastic tanks but can be quite dull after some time. Titania and Volt can both be extremely fast in their own right but are sometimes uncontrollable in certain tilesets. (I know each frame has other uses but Im talking about their designed archetypes) Gauss somehow manages to balance all 3 simultaneously. Extremely quick but can stop on a dime if needs be. Complete damage reduction FROM being fast and both of those combined with his Redline essentially makes him feel like a mobile AA-cannon. Fun and functional. Who woulda guessed they go well together?

[@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798]

You can't spell functional without fun

[@wellplayedninjas]

The sunder roar combo was so such a cool discovery. Wonderful Gauss coverage! ❤

[@chronicler22]

Let's not forget how Thermal Sunder converting Heat into Blast works like Expedite Suffering, turning all of the 'yet to be dealt' Heat damage into a health nuke the minute it armor strips. 2 claps Heat into a Blast Strip is enough to shred into Level Cap territories thanks to Archon Vitality

No hate against Mach Crash, it has become a staple part of my gauss builds as its such an easy and quick decently ranged succ that has a free ragdoll effect included. I cannot live without it as it has completely become part of my muscle memory after 500hrs of Gauss. Also good video doing gauss' perfected design justice

[@michaelstudeny8848]

I fell in love with Gauss as soon as i saw him, despite not playing speed-based frames before. Been maining him ever since that, and while im having long, frequent pauses from the game, whenever i return, its just great to be greeted by Gauss. Now ive rreturned after another two years, and there is prime version waiting for me to grind. Cant wait!

1 minute 29 seconds in, I hear "series where I dive into warframes for 30 to 40 minutes" I am sold,, subbed and ready to watch them all.

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

While I use Titania and spam Nova portals for novelty, I tend to prefer simple speed boosts since I love the core movement. Extra situational bursts of movement though? I'd love more of that. Little overlooked tip: Arcane Consequence, it's a VERY big multiplier, very cheap too. Try experimenting with which weapons get headshots most easily, which is a LOT of them on Mag. How much you value consistency vs. effort is up to you, Phantasma alt-fire tapping has great ease of use but won't always hit the heads. (Of course it has the beam if you're up for some aiming)

[@FelisImpurrator]

What the. Today I learned Gauss got so many buffs since I last used him that I'm still building him like pre-buff. No wonder he felt so goddamn broken lately.

[@BZUltimix]

Damn, 5 years later & Gauss is still the best there is at what he does. I knew I picked the right choice for this game & now I'm on my way to farm for his prime. Fast.

[@noxington4260]

One important thing for Thermal Sunder that wasn't mentioned (unless I missed it) is that if you can get multiple heat procs on an enemy and then cast the cold side of it, ALL of the damage that the heat dots would do over time get dealt at once dealing a massive amount of damage. So if you cast the heat one four or five times and then cast the cold one, it is very easy to see millions of damage and nuke a massive section of the map.

[@donutr7705]

Sonic the Warframe has the most complete kit. All of his abilities synergize with each other, all of them are good, and all of them fit his stat philosophy. Which is More Duration = More Power. The boi becomes MOTIVATED with enough duration on Redline, and he doesn't even need more than 100% strength.

He just kinda sat there in my orbiter for a while until I got his normal version for mr and helminth and then something changed, I actually started to like his kit. It felt great annihilating everything with the speed of a jet plane while setting everyone on fire, it only got better when I got the new hate augment and I was slashing everything and everyone. He’s one of the most fun frames I’ve played with recently and im even considering maining him now

[@gctypo2838]

I built Gauss not knowing much beyond "haha funny zoomy frame". Jumped into Helene for leveling, and immediately enjoyed his kit, despite not having the energy sustain to make much use of it, nor understanding it very well. Then I got host migrated and found myself solo'ing defense against 40's with a frame and weapons that were all under-ranked. Much to my surprise, Thermal Sunder ended up obliterating everything and defending the point without any difficulty whatsoever. Instantly made him one of my favorites.

[@InstructorSin]
