How Should I Prepare For New War?

[Just Hitting My Stride]

Finally got what I need to play it, currently I have some good weapons and warframes so I need don't any help with that. However I:

- Still have the default amp
- Low level necromech with some easy to obtain mods, while still using the imperator. (Got a rank 6 primed damage mod on it though)
- Only have Zenurik path leveled up.

Anything I should try to obtain before going into the quest, don't want to end up being stuck in the mission for hours upon hours because I didn't prepare well enough.

Level up the mech, make sure you have decent mods on your railjack. You can do it with a base level mech and railjack. I really wouldn't recommend it.

kind a not really needed fully forma or very strong build Necramech since you only use Necramech like few minute,if you worried,try fully forma and use strong build on necramech weapon.

But building stronger rail jack is recommended,Rail jack Hull and armor need upgrade to stronger as possible because Rail jack is a Paper ship.

1. You'll need a necramech. (as others have said, level it up a bit)
2. You'll need a railjack.

In your railjack try doing some missions before starting new war:

In your railjack: Level up Tactical, Piloting, Gunnery, Engineering, Command. (engineering is highest priority so your railjack can survive and perhaps gunnery is second)


"You can hire Syndicate Operatives from Ticker in Fortuna on Venus using credits or Railjack resources." (Source warframe wiki) to be AI crew members in your railjack. Pretty cool that. (takes ordinary in game credits to do that when talking to Ticker)


3. Get your railjack engineer to level 4 or 5
4. Get your gunner for railjack to level 5.
5. Use the many resources you get from just a few railjack missions to 'upgrade' lazers and shields, and anything to make the railjack shoot stuff better.

Then you could probably start new war, and be ready to be patient. But lots of friendly warframe videos on how to get through certain parts. It has a few issues, imho. But it's cool story, if you go with the flow and enjoy the quest ride! XD

GGs.

I didn't bother with the necromech. It was fine without any mods. My archgun was modded all the way up, as was my railjack. You're going to need crew to fix the railjack and man the gun.

Also, madurai makes it easier to deal with orpheuses, but that's personal preference.

I didn't have any issues with the new war, by the way. Anyone who says it has issues, just got too used to being able to mow down hordes without aiming.

@N473 - DUDE. I had issues with new war!

But yea, you're right. I thought I could blaze a trail of lazers through hordes, but the quest was not like that.

As soon as one backs up and looks at the level it's still 'easyish' but one needs to not rush it.

They wanted advice, this weird high and mighty stuff isn't helpful. Not everyone is you.

OP, YMMV but I did new war with base mech and railjack and it was fine

If you had to pick one of those two to level up/get mods for, railjack stuff is probably more helpful. That's the only segment I had to revive on - and, tbf, it was only because I found it difficult to line up a certain segment

Actually, make sure you have the railjack "sprint" intrinsic. I recall just zooming past most enemies

That sounds good enough. At most, maybe rank up Seeker Volley and equip it on your railjack, but that's about it.

I would strongly recommend that you,

1) Make sure your Railjack has speed/boost upgrades.

2) Make sure your Necramech's weapon is fully leveled and modded.

If you're not in a rush, I'd also recommend,

3) Crafting a custom operator amp.

After watching a lot of people try to rush the quest, those are the things that got people stuck, because they never put any work into them.

i second the amp thing for sure, but go watch the vids that are fresh anyway-ask to be taxied in rj

you dont need all that anymore did just go trough it a mech and weapon that was not leveld and a ship that pretty much base level lol.they nerved the whole thing pretty much to the ground

[Mikuel]

Not necessary but take a nice walk through cetus and fortuna before you start, for good luck.

"Only have Zenurik path leveled up" - so no health and no armour at all on your operator. See you on this forum next month complaining that New War quest is hard.

Operator focus not really matter much,most of the fight are using Drifter skills,Drifter has self heal skills and smoke.
