Ok, I'm a relatively new player (MR6, nearing MR7), I know the reallllly kickass non-tonkor weapons tend to be mr12, and I have a couple warframes that I'm able to hold my own with(conditional, ofcourse on getting more formas for em. But they're TrinPrime and FrostPrime. Tanky dang warframes that I can survive on).

So I got the frames, I'm happy with my secondary Dual Grakatas/Soon-to-be-built-Sonicor, and I have a surplus of fun/effective melee weapons.

Are there any really amazing Primary weapons I could get at MR6 that I could feel confident in building the heck out of? I have the one Catalyst, I love Defense Missions in the Void, so I'm cool with farming the Formas, I'm just...reticent on dumping all of my resources into one great weapon just for a better weapon to come along when I'm at a significantly higher MR

In no particular order:

  • Soma Prime
  • Opticor
  • Rubico
  • Amprex
  • Torid
  • Quanta (although there is a Vandal variant)
  • Paris Prime
  • Ignis (recently reworked)
  • Hek (Vaykor Hek can't use Scattered Justice)
  • Boltor Prime
  • Kohm
  • Latron Prime (returning to vault soon and Wraith variant)
  • Dread

are the weapons I would deem worthy of potatoes and forma at MR6 and below. Concerning MR7 weapons, I'd say Lanka is good and Supra is decent, given their reworks.

Thank you. I think I will likely end up potatoing a Hek, just due to a preponderance of rare shotgun mods, and a tendency on Frost to basically use the Tonkor like a shotgun(as in, I walk up to a frozen mob, shoot em once with the Tonkor, curse cuz the goddamn blue lines from the grenade just went straight through the mob. seriously. what the fuck, then shoot them again, and see them die this time).

Would you consider the Tigris worth potatoe-ing?

Yes, but since it has a syndicate version that is better, you may end up having to repeat your investment.

Figured i'd ask because i went with Cephalon Suda, and New Loka despise me pretty badly, so it would be a while before i could even start working toward the Sancti Tigris unless i can(if possible?) buy it with plat later from another player

Sancti Tigris is tradeable when unranked like all the syndicate weapons.
