      Beasts are eating good right now. Deal insane damage and can even room clear by themselves with contagious bond while still being built for maximum utility or durability.

      @Pancake699 mods like condition overload and galvanized aptitude/savvy offer the effect "gain 80% additional damage per status effect impacting the target". "Priming" is simply the process of applying a bunch of different status effects to an enemy, or "priming" them with status effects. So with a weapon like the kuva nukor (or anything that can apply a lot of different status effects to a target) you can get a bigger damage buff than direct damage mods like serration or pressure point.

    You've done the Deconstructor Prime DIRTY in this video. Well before this update, I was having to unequip it when trying to complete Nightwave tasks to land kills with specific elements because my Helios was extremely good at kill stealing. It didn't matter what content I was going to. It even managed to steal a noticeable amount of kills in Steel Path, and without a riven either. If you think it isn't a great weapon, you probably haven't given it a good try.

Thanks to qualifying for glaive and melee mods. It doesn't really matter if the Verglas kills individual targets faster when the Deconstructor "has it all". The Verglas is only going to beat it against single targets. The main issue is that Kengineer lumped the Deconstructor in with the trash and claimed it didn't have any worthwhile use.

    Something to note about Artax: It seems to alter the sentinel's targeting priority so that it will avoid attacking any enemy that has a full 10 cold procs unless there are no other available targets.
    Meaning that if you spec it into fire rate, status chance, multishot and Shivering Contagion _without_ altering its cold damage, your sentinel will freeze a whole cluster of enemies in under a second, then immediately switch its focus to repeat the process with another group.
    It's a pretty good option if you want to passively CC enemies around you for free.

    I would like to make an argument for the Burst Laser Prime. There is a specific/niche setup where it is very useful: priming for melee builds. If you use diriga with arc coil and manifold bond, you force proc all statuses from the sentiel weapon within melee range. The burst laser has IPS built in, meaning that it forces the highest number of statuses compared to most companion weapons. On top of this, the burst laser prime can reach the 50% crit threshold without a riven. With this setup, you get a ton of statuses guaranteed instantly for condition overload, and that crit damage multiplier.

    I have to disagree with your opinion on the stinger. I’ve found exceptional use with a combination of manifold bond and the status spreading bond to consistently spread toxic, viral, and heat. It has the unique property of being a DOT weapon, where it embeds itself over 3 seconds and does a bit of damage every second (from what I can tell) with each instance of damage not only seemingly having a 100% chance of toxic, but the ability to apply other status effects as well, if not on the initial hit of the projectile.
    It’s status chance usually cannot get too far above 70%, but with its decent fire rate and that it’s burst fire, it can still apply plenty of damage. Combine it with fired up, and because it’s a DOT weapon that applies DOT status, fired up is nearly almost at 100% the second it hits. Meaning you will regularly have toxic, viral, and heat damage on an enemy. This can melt a foe pretty fast, and combined with the Fatal Attraction precept mod and manifold bond, you can easily get a proc of viral, toxic, and heat off on multiple enemies when they’re lured in.
    TL;DR, the stinger has a lot of potential when given investment, being able to reliably damage enemies and apply heat, viral, and toxic at an effective rate.

    There is one argument to be made for the Vulklok: It's the easiest sentinel weapon you can get that reaches over 50% crit to trigger Tenacious Bond.

    The most annoying bug I found was Multron inflicting self stagger. That one needs fixed, and Helstrum needs the patch note fire rate.
    DMR needs a buff to be either a crit weapon or a status weapon, Cryotra should have more fire rate, Stinger... kind of needs another rework (or Stinger Prime)... And we really need the accuracy on the gun type ones to be fixed. Although there is a fun interaction with Vulklok and Burst Laser, if you pair it with a magnetize effect.

    While being early does apply to the base version it doesn’t for the prime yet they are often barely any better. It should be like the prime version of Warframe weapons where when it is the prime of an early game weapon it is vastly better showing how the prime is gotten far later in the game.

    I have been using hilios prime's deconstructer weapon forever and know it's mechanics pretty well it's damage is good but it act's like a thrown melee which means it will fire as long as it has a blade so if you put a lot of bounce it will fire slower. So the way to increase fire rate is to put less bounce on it and projectile speed. There your helios will act as a turret that will seek and destroy. Especially if put duplex bond on it as since the weapon it has is considered a melee it will pursue and destroy. Though i must warn it has a nasty habit of spawn camping and not allowing enemies to group up

    I'm very much a fan of the classical single target weapons in Warframe, so it's a little sad to find out that the Sentinel weapons I loved as a new player like Deth Machine Rifle, Sweeper, and Laser Rifle, are still pretty useless. Sure they were alright at very low levels, but obviously that falls off pretty fast. Which got me thinking:
    Maybe they could do something like what they did with the other companions Link Mods, but for Sentinel weapons? Like a mod that lets you copy X% of your Primary or Secondary weapon's crit or status chance, or damage values, so that they don't make the Sentinel weapons strong unless you yourself have strong weapons to pair them with?
    I'm bad with stats, so idk if that would be useful, or broken, or useless, I dunno lol
