in case people that don't know, you can actually pull yourself towards enemies with the grappling hook then press the melee buttons while been pulled towards them to do a flip kick or a flying kick to them.

[@caliban585]

Great video and great guide. It really helped me understand quite a bit more about the game mechanics and how to "power" up the different areas of your character. Unfortunately, it also made me realize that this will be waaay to much grinding for me. I'm just about done with the main story and that's probably as far as ill take it.

[@toxicknicksfan5547]

This sound like a job….

[@Warpup621]

Welcome to mmo games new here? Lol

These farming type games like Warframe confuse the SHIT out of me. Not knowing what to farm and where. I have a shit ton of hours in Warframe and prolly 40 so far in FD and I still can’t grasp many things 😩

very very good guide video 👍

[@gregjross852]

I come from Black Desert Online and this game is a breath of fresh air when it comes to Korean grind fests. No pay walls in the game that force you to swipe is a huge improvement. $100 skins? Not so much but you don’t need to pay for the ultimate skins just unlock them. I get it monetization is rough but this is an eastern game and that’s how they run. The fact everything is convenience or cosmetic and not flat out P2W because you hit a brick wall is a solid setup up from the normal.

[@ExtremeFighter]

Dude THANK YOU. Great video.. and oh boy the shared EXP is unintuative😅

[@Chillantro]

Only thing the access info/ tracking needs is, when you track the item, it needs to say where it drops on your map or on the tracking side info, it takes so long to go “wait which one again”

[@Wutwut1n1]

5:15 Gratz hahaha

[@chris_elkins2093]

for this game is it more worth it to upgrade all the blue mods to max to get through the main game, and only go after the purple mods when you finally get to the end game to get the energy activation and the one that gives you a specific symbol in the slot so you can min max your builds?

[@johannguhlin7548]

Awww man wanted to see the boss fall overr lol 4:47

[@mightytoon]

Can you change the symbol in the mod slot after you crystallized that slot? If yes, how pls?

[@karaokepanda8602]

220% or Higher seemed to be the sweetspot for the first few dungeon areas. Haven't done the others yet. 210% always left me just shy of the guaranteed second Amorphous drop.

[@uncensored393]

I feel so overwhelmed with this :(

[@drakewilliams6069]

👍

[@I_AmVIP]

Love the game. So much grinding though.

[@danielrobinson1164]

Question for the community, do you have the ability to upgrade reactor level like you do weapons. As I have a great reactor and I’ve just started the game and really don’t want to change it off

[@michaeleilers3438]

You do get to upgrade your reactors. I think you have to be Mastery Level 9 to do it though. You would do it at the Workbench -- last option in the menu.

[@kriegmausjr4635]

For some reason for the zone recon missions i can just run in and out of the circle and it restarts it.

[@samlivera4915]

Any tips to get the harder characters. The ones that require infiltrate recons

[@timerupture8430]

Is there a map or guide on how to find those vaults?

[@DeviousMachineR]

May wish to add that you might only wanna invest into ultimate characters if you can. Reason being is ultimate characters have specific red mods that only work for the ultimate version.

[@cameroncolclough885]

I am sooooo confused .... Especially with the whole prestige like when i should do it or if i should and on top of that should i keep leveling up mastery rank before i do prestige... Not done the story yet but have no clue what i should be doing when i am done

[@Hailey._.h]

Do yall use the recommendation option for modules

[@TherealWottie]

Still got no idea 😂

[@pyro_twirp3534]

Hard mode operation matchmaking got added today

[@SolidUn4given]

I'm still working to endgame and I'm still trying to understand which mods I should focus on for my guns and for my descendant. I change guns so much I haven't starter to upgrade my weapon mods.

[@jmalin6able]

For guns use flat damage mods and crit chance and crit dmg then add some elements on depending on what you fight. For your characters use health and defense mods and kinda ignore shields unless you are on a tank. After the health and defense build around the skills of your descendant. Example, gley uses her skills to buff guns so typically skill extenders and cooldown mods are the best to use as skill damage isn't as dire. I'm not super far so I don't know exactly everything but look up some character breakdowns for some help with building.

[@Alphadad86]

Just started this game , had a few people helping run through it. My dilemma is…. Not a lot of free time to listen since I work 10 plus hours six days a week and when I’m online I’m cashed out. I ask questions but all I get is you gotta get past the normal first yada yada . What can I do while I’m in these normal missions that will boost my bunny and help me towards end game . If there’s a lot I have a discord channel. Sorry I’m at work so trying to take in information as much as I can but can’t make sense of it cus I’m in and out and I can’t look at my screen all the time . Plus I’m focused on work slightly more lol

[@Alphadad86]

I have also heard about this melee tonfa mod upgrade and that just sounds worth it alone to have a maxed melee and not affect the cost of mods

[@gdubya1360]

I feel the pain. I work two jobs. Basically 5 hours a day to sleep/free time, Sunday-Friday.

[@its_the_joker4965]

Shit man, that shared weapon xp is bullshit. Thanks for pointing that out 👍

[@soti6788]

I didn't know the energy activators would be a pain to grind 😂shouldn't have used it on normal bunny

[@StinkyMick99]

So how do you reset your level and what are the benefits?? Also could you turn the music down a touch, it’s a little distracting and taking away from you’re voice😊 great video btw man🔥 a tonn of info thank you

[@andrewdursoepic]

I was having this same question but I figured it out, it’s in the additional module options on the right of the modules screen for your descendant / weapons and requires a crystallization catalyst / stabilizer.

they add it today..the match making on hard

[@gasad01374]

Biggest tip if you are struggling on a boss, try it solo. I am really not that good at this game and I got Pyromaniac on my 1st try with 3 seconds left and I got swamp walker on my 2nd try

What’s the mark for arrest used for ? Cost hundred K

[@blackyvertigo]

the outpost cooldown trick doesn't appear to work anymore.

[@deadlyjoz8761]

It does not work always ... it only takes to another instance , you can be in another that has the outpost on cooldown or not , or even you can get the same one .

[@extremepsykosis]

They need to get rid of mandatory collection quests. Currently stuck in echo swamp bc of it and can't progress.

you mean where u have to get the damn balls? yea they were a pain.. would recommend teaming up with others, thats how i got them done pretty much

This might sound like a dumb question but how to I upgrade my mastery rank? It says it's ready for an upgrade and idk how to do it

Go see the npc in Albion with a golden icon

Btw Clyde they are now match making might wanna pin a comment saying that 👍🏻 great video btw

[@natsukisubaru1732]

I stopped watching the video when he said I had to farm a spot for 6 hours. Best farming spot he says and he still had to waste 6 hours of his life doing the same mission. This game might have cake but I don’t got time to farm

Bruh i guess me farming lepic nonstop is why my mastery is so fuckin slow, suppose i should start leveling new guys.

I'm yet to find a guide I can understand. I guess I'm just not smart enough to play this game.

[@drewfloyd3659]

I wish I knew the game didn't want me to play it, I've crashed 10 time in 5 hours

[@thoms6982]

I really enjoy the game, however.. after a few hours of farming i feel dumb for playing for so many hours chasing one thing, getting it and then grind for another thing. It kinda feels like a waste of time at some point. When the game becomes work its just not relaxing anymore

[@murderman424]

So should I use the catalysts after i hit mastery rank 15 or is it ok to do it before rank 15?

[@blackyvertigo]

use them whenever.

Defense mission are great for mastery in crystal catalyst if your not at mr 15 right now stop watching destiny streamers in watch warframe streamers they will show you how to do everything way more efficiently in especially youll learn to mod properly because this dude getting his information from someone else

[@reavers9852]

I wish i pick ajax in the begining instead of lepic

[@deadlyjoz8761]

To be fair both are pretty much in the bench because you get bunny right away ..... and for rushing the story she is by far the best , then you can farm the character you like fairly fast .

[@zone6bear]

Man this game us alot more deep than what i thought....grindy as a mf tho

[@The-Spanish-Inquisition490]

Good luck killing a hard mode boss with randoms..... you think getting past the Hanged Man was bad with randoms 😂😂😂 yeah, it's so much worse. Ive already gine back to warframe for a couple of months till all the casuals give uo on the TFD, then I'll come back. Right now, it's unplayable. I mean i fet it its a messy game with cluttered menus, and it's all very confusing to a new player..... but seriously, stop joining machmaking if you're just looking to get carried with your ass build, build correctly, and pull your wieght. You'll stop dying, and your damage will be good. Otherwise, this is not the game for you.
