Basic guide to mods and modding:

[Shard of Manus]

I was writing this for a new WF player that I've been helping get into Warframe, but ended up spending about 8 hours writing it apparently.

Shouldn't see that wasted, so for anyone new to the game (or not even new but not really clear on damage or modding) - here's a guide for you to read.

It is kinda long, but it doesn't go into absurd detail. It keeps things brief and simple, and should be easy to understand.

PS - It is up to date with the new faction / status changes.

I suppose I should mention, this is for an MR8 and there are parts I have neglected for spoiler reasons - and to also not impact progression.

I have avoided talking specifically about Tenet/Kuva weapons, about most Arcanes and late-game mods and have only briefly mentioned these things for awareness. I've also not talked about other factions as he hasn't completed the Second Dream.

This isn't a complete and total guide on all things - it's specifically an early game guide, but the premise of it is applicable through the entirety of WF.

Excellent idea - helping out newer players is never a bad thing.

FWIW, it may be helpful to add in what one can mod at early MR ranks as well, to help a player know their options in the early parts of the game.

For example, the Hek is available at MR4, and is a pretty reliable shotgun for a good while.
