Solo leveling

[Sofia]

So, I recently came back to warframe, and with all the changes, the game is nothing like I remember.

My first concern is raising my MR, getting better weapons, frames, ect, and to do that I need to know how to efficiently level things, frames and weapons both. Whats the best way to do that on my own? I can't exactly take a level 1 frame to some high level defense and sit and camp like I would if I was being carried.

You can, if your weapon is good enough to contribute to the team or ask in recruit chat for a frame levelling squad

Why would you want to do solo levelling? Doing with ppl is way better

Mostly because most of my friends left the game ages ago, and I didn't want to ask complete strangers to carry a noob

Go to Helene on Saturn or Hydron on Sedna and take whatever you want. No one will mind even if you can't do anything. Leveling alone is not efficient because of how affinity is split and enemy spawn rates.

that's true...

however if you still want to try on your own, it depends on the weapons you want to level:
- if you like playing with said weapon: just jump in a survival mission and kill a lot of stuff with that weapon until you lack firepower
- if you don't like that weapon and rather not using it, do high level objective based missions (spy, mob def) to level it passively

(note that the most efficient way of levelling a killing weapon solo would be to stealth-chain all kills in a high level exterminate mission... but I find it extrememly boring...)

depending on your MR you have free space to put mods on unranked warframes.
whenever I start with new warframe, vitality adn redirection (or steel fiber depending on stats) and I go to Hydron or Helene and i never have issues.
I bring some well built weapon, like Ignis, Soma Prime, Sybaris Prime, something strong af so I do not have to rely on my warframe but just trade damage

then I start experimenting so when or if I forma that warframe I may not end up with that much survivability as I know what to do

If you want to lvl a warframe, use your powers to kill. If you want to lvl a weapon but not use it, let others kill. If you want to use it, go to a dark sector mission; some have specific xp bonus for weapon types.
