Sporothrix and its augment go hard! | Warframe

Sporothrix, the slash viral sniper rifle with an augment that goes boom! This full guide covers how to get it, what it does, and how to mod it for maximum success. Definitely make sure you pick up the augment from Nightwave - Nora went to a lot of trouble to get that for us. 😁

I did the farm for the sporothrix back when the Deimos stuff first released, and completely accidentally. I didn’t actually look and just assumed (wrongly) that isolation vault bounties were the best way to get mother tokens, so I ended up running a total of like 500, and that’s likely low balling it. It was pain, and then like a year or two later I realized I was STILL missing a piece. This farm is horrendous

[@lookalike4805]

I was Lucky... I checked the officially Drop Tables and Discovered the Secret Bounty mentioned in the Video.... Not only did this make Farming the Sporothrix Easy but I got Arum Spinosa, Cortege and Morgha aswell. 😎

[@KoeiNL]

I'm missing one part after countless vault bounties and have at least one of the others twice. Probably going to just swap that last part with another player.

[@ML7WL]

grind was supposed to incline players to spend money to skip...I just don't understand the "philosophy" behind deimos and lich/sister grinding, it's even weirder when you consider DE softened resource gathering even more on deimos than fortuna (deimos has WAY more crates that drops multiple resources at once AND has multiple loot obelisks across the map, fortuna alternative to crates were the way harder orb mothers...Cetus had none of this until the thumpers). It's just the parts/mods; I don't get it.

[@PrimevalRevenant]

I decided to farm it three days ago. Checked what I had and noticed I had the barrel and the blueprint already. Today I finished building it. It isn't that hard tbh, as long as you don't extract immediately after the vault and keep doing the bounties instead it comes pretty easily.

[@biggbeefo]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to do that. It wasnt until I had ranked the entratis to rank 5 via grinding out all of the different tokens and the vaults that I found out high level mother bounties were the way to go...

[@Blacksmith__]

Considering Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa were among the rarest weapons in the game for seemingly no reason, it's really nice they threw one of them a bone like this

[@fluffdafire157]

Legit I think more people would use sniper weapons if you could choose to activate or deactivate the scope at will

[@jonathancornett597]

Idk if by at will, you mean instantly.. but there is an option in ui or hud settings.

[@fluffdafire157]

@@jonathancornett597 I mean making it a toggle where you could flip the scope to the side or pop it back up perhaps at will wasn't the best phrasing

As a Sevagoth enjoyer I have been enjoying Gas Sporothrix a lot, this mod now is just the cherry on top, thanks for the food DE.

[@cl0udyminds313]

Love your videos! Extremely high quality and very informative. You're the best warframe KZbinr in my opinion!

[@markpatterson9742]

This is alot of fun thank you for showing us this little gem. Tons of fun, I'm enjoying this.

[@torunsmok5890]

taking a rare aoe sniper like this and combining it with Kullervo's ability to make anything AOE sounds.... fun >:)

[@yamnbam4346]

Well…fun for us Tenno, anyway

[@dragonfire2246]

Zephyr also makes anything AoE with her tornadoes. It's a smaller AoE than Kullervo can pull off, but it's mobile and doesn't depend on a certain group of enemies, it'll just pick up more passively.

[@Thrashlock]

Can't wait for an augment for his passive or 4 to affect his sniper combo. Then you just subsume over 1 and suddenly Kullervo is a sniper frame instead of melee.

[@silopante]

Always nice to see content about weapons that are never talked about.

[@MadamApocolips]

I will likely never use this augment ever even if it become the most absurdly powerful warframe meta weapon for years. Because the farm for the sporothrix was one of the worst things ive ever endured.

[@Yuiichiiro]

I like the pain of farming for meta stuff, like, if you want the big pp damage, you gotta earn it.

It's pretty funny oneshotting disruption demolishers with this using Harrow. Since I focused my build on getting more crits (harrow + adrasa) I just stacked both Hammer shot and Vital sense.

[@armagedonthewizard7384]

Same thing but i was using it on eidolons and demolysts using avenger and that aura that damages you on kill.

[@gregbower245]

Aah the Sporothrix grind, you reminded me of that particular horror. Thanks for all the work on this, I might now pull it out of the bottom of the arsenal where it went and has stayed straight after mastery.

[@alterranlongbow5067]

one fun build i've seen with the sporothrix is to use it with a citrine infused with expedite suffering over her 4. her 3 gives massively increased status chance and duration, meaning more status effects that do more total damage. combine with expedite suffering, this multiplies into absolutely insane bursts of damage.

[@gabriellarvoire6780]

Building a unknown weapon, then few days later, seeing you posted a video about that weapon and you present similar builds ... Youhou what a compliment for me ^^

[@gabrielidalgo1]

I was getting bored, now i have a new build to have fun bro, thanks

[@jacobperry2491]

Another critical chance source is Sevagoth's Shadow Haze! It cranks enemies' RECEIVED critical chance, and can greatly surpass Harrow's Covenant.

[@noahedenborg4221]

But it doesn't effect radial

[@bozotehpwns]

@@noahedenborg4221 with the explosion only capable of being 11% of the damage, how much does it matter? I think the explosion is best suited for spreading status on this weapon

[@s_ludge]

I love the Sporothrix so much. I'm not typically a sniper rifle user in any game I play, but Sporothrix is absolutely one of my favorite guns in all of Warframe. Really need to work on my Nightwave and get that augment.

[@arcane3877]

I didn't even know Arcana Bounties were a thing, love the info you have in your videos Thank you!

[@lookalike4805]

Ofcourse you didn't... DE hid them in Purpose. 👀

[@MsQueenOfDance]

The main blueprint has been sitting in my foundry for a long time now. Finding out its a very powerful weapon only deepens the sting

[@cantremember6794]

Don't worry I just rolled a riven for this as well 😂

[@flibbernodgets7018]

I had never heard about arcana bounties before this, but now I do know about them maybe I'll have a chance at this farm.

[@tizme1655]

I’ve been loving using this weapon on harrow with his buffing

[@albertoarriaga3707]

It's been a month since i saw this video, i finally have completed the farm, now i can finally use this

[@cbdrawer9527]

I been maining the Sporothrix for quite a while on my Harrow, because it goes so hard with my Infested fashion. And my excitment was unreal when i saw a Augment Mod for it

[@TizonaAmanthia]

as a gamer who loves the tiburon's autment mod critical precision...my neurons are activated.

[@phleet3848]

i saw this post on reddit recommending a gas build, tried it out and i'm shocked how effective it is(on harrow). once i pop a squishy's head, i can ramp up on my deadhead on heavy units, and with the 200% crit, bonus to headshots, scope bonus, and the sporothrix modded for vital sense AND hammer shot, gas-cold(no reload speed because harrow) can make area denial AoEs that are knocking out entire hoardes AND their eximus units. i wish gas could last longer than 3s(or 6 with duration), but it's still a massive help. i do have trouble starting my ramp up in around the level 150-200 range, but after my first deadhead, it's a walk in the cake. i usually try to make my loadout make some sense of one weapon to a faction. primary vs corpus and bosses(radiation usually because alloy armor). instead i went gas-cold because i wanted corrosive heat on sidearm for grineer(and cascadia flare for emergency "gimme now" damage), and pure heat on my toilet brush(vs infested) because a cleric needs his shield and mace. in the end, i use all 3 weapons against all factions, foregoing faction damage entirely, but it's worked out so far. i'm terrified of deep archimedea tho, so wish me luck

[@--Animal--]

Sevagoth with Shadow Haze and the appropriate amount of ability strength to get at least 100% crit on Shadow Haze is how I've been playing with this weapon and it's augment.

[@agustinalorenzo5448]

Muy buen video crack! Sigue asi

[@joshwagner7263]

damn ken 100k is upon us

[@zachingtoniii485]

Another interesting synergy is with kullervos collective curse each enemy hit by the collective curse contributes to the shot combo

[@tiltskillet7085]

Thanks for another great video! A few observations, apologies if I missed them: ~With VV it's expoding on every contact, which is unusual and makes it really crazy with grouping. ~I think VV is adding more than 40% status. Sometimes I'm getting more status effects than can be explained otherwise. ~Firestorm's bonus is added before VV.

[@drothicyaaresh6915]

I think it's added base status

[@tiltskillet7085]

​@@drothicyaaresh6915 Actually I think the answer is simpler. I was going by the Arsenal status chance, and VV isn't factored into that. The additional procs were happening infrequently enough that I don't think it's flat status. I'll check into it though.

[@bryankinney6025]

love the channel

[@ZarkhanXeron]

My vote for Final Critical Chance is easily the Mesa augment Ballistic Bullseye. It’s already really good with odd weapons like the Cedo and it’s alt fire, but it’s absolutely insane with other weird weapons like the Sporothrix, since it applies to AOE attacks, but also the Alternox’s alt fire benefits from it for its entire lifespan.

[@lookalike4805]

I knew the *Alternox* wasn't Useless. 🤓

[@Venicheeeee]

Thanks!

[@TheKengineer]

And thank you too!

[@ItsDerath]

I always loved the sporothrix even when it was deemed bad a couple years ago. I'm so glad DE gave it an augment, it gives me an excuse to use it again

[@theta-rx2]

This and the komorex are some of my fav weapons, I just love snipers, and we really dont get a whole lot of em, they can be a ton of fun

[@FatalKenshen]

Managed to get the main blueprint twice but i was more focused on levelling the pass for the augment as once the seasons gone, the augment will be gone than waiting for the right parts to come into the rotation and after seeing the amount of runs required it's understandable why I was close to burning myself out after so many runs.

[@Raso719]

I'd love you to do a video on the Battacor. It is one of my absolute favorite weapons. Insane crit damage and a great mix of innate damage types to make it work for a myriad of builds. I pair it with Primary Deadhead and Arcane Avenger for insane headahot damage. And that's before we talk about the OPTICOR LAZOR!

[@QuantemDeconstructor]

The unfortunate part of Battacor is innate Magnetic, but the rest of it's really good if you're willing to dump like 5 forma on a gun

[@Raso719]

@@QuantemDeconstructor I think innate magnetic is fine, actually. It a free element for the Galvanized CO mod so you're fee to build your mods however free you wish. And the crit damage and modifier are so insane out of the box that the raw damage potential from crit alone is incredible. Combine with the headshot modifier from your arcane it shreds even Grineer.

[@QuantemDeconstructor]

@@Raso719 I got one in progress and it's quite good, the magnetic status just shows up more often than I'd like, it's not like a melee where I can turn that into a grouping tool :(

you might be able to get it back if you file a support ticket. just make sure you haven't used the resources you got from it

[@princeturner7030]

Damn, the grind for this weapon is going to be a killer... Welp back to using the komorex.

[@TheAbhimanj]

I dont even remember farming specifically for the Sporothrix. Probably got it passively while doing those deimos bounties. Gonna give this a shot since i just unlocked the mod yesterday

[@DigitalFrog1701]

Literally a DAY after watching this i unveil a Sporothrix Riven. Guess I know what weapon I'm gonna build over the next few days

[@wy100101]

oh man. I'm most interested in a precision based build so now the Sporothrix just came onto my radar.

[@AvenonPlays]

I farmed this thing doing only Iso vaults. It was something I obtained mostly passively as I was farming for necramech parts. I think the last part for me was the receiver or something and just happened to see it on rotation so I queued up and found another guy who was also looking for it.

[@AtomicAlchemist]

This seems very similiar to the Komorex, another low crit high status AoE sniper rifle with good riven disposition

[@popo74aa]

Happy this thing is randomly good now, although I have no idea what to keep on my riven for it My current is + damage, crit damage, and projectile speed, and - puncture, which sounds good usually, but I realize this is a weird gun lol Edit: oh nice, the video goes over this LOL. I shouldn't have underestimated your issue coverage! I guess I'll swap out the vital sense for it - it's essentially a stronger version that also boosts ease of use, damage, and slash weight.

[@pcdeltalink036]

I got the blueprint for this yesterday and was wondering what the heck it is. Looks like Rubico is being replaced. Thanks for the info.

[@mmonkeybone]

I love using this weapon and while its still far away im always praying for infested liches the infested need so much more of a impact and this weapon would be such a amazing pick.

[@nayeonranghae]

as an engineering student idk why this gives me comfort the most of sll other builds the in depth explanation which seems to make the build not “ittl o ly work like this “ but instead you could tweak it to your liking is smth the wf yt community needs! as a returning player who stopped since like 2021 i was overwhelmed with builds not knowing whether vids are still valid or not i have to keep watching others to sure, but with these vids i can make my own builds

[@tomsmith9991]

I was grinding for it since I saw the augment

We do have another explosive sniper it was released with the jupiter rework the komorex is a beast with a 20 round mag and built in viral explosions

[@sonohanabira9703]

67 excruciating hours of farming is finally paying off! I liked the weapon then, but I love it now!

[@tonydo91]

Citrine is worth taking on Sporothrix when you're against targets without a head and therefore cannot trigger headshot multipliers, such as murmur enemies.

[@zenerstorm95]

I've had this thing for YEARS, and it is no joke the most powerful Sniper Rifle I own. My Sporthorix has just over 300% status with a Riven, and combining that with Galvy Aptitude, nothing is allowed to live.
