Whats the best way to Build a Gorgon?

[DD The Pumpkin King]

Just got it built and want to get it as strong as possible.

I should admit, I realize there are stronger weapons and I'll pick up the Soma(hunting Prism Gorgon too) when my Mastery is 6 but I just love the feeling of dropping lead down range, to me there is no more satisfying sound. I'm talking I want to be standing in a pile of my own shell casings within 10 seconds.

But it doesn't go Daka Daka

And... that's the dilemma in a nutshell right there.

I was takeing you seriously until you said take a boltor prime.

♥♥♥♥♥♥' scrub. Why don't you just recommend him the Rhino Prime, Orthos Prime and Synoid Gammacor while you're at it?

Out of all the automatic weapons that fire stuff, Boltor Prime is easily among the best. Sharing the top place with Soma Prime. The rest of the automatic firing weapons are just not up to par. Most of them are just pathetic. They don't feel good to shoot unlike Boltor Prime which have an satisfying sound and pins people to the wall.

It'll also hold up well enough in Void as well.

You guys might hate it but it is not a bad weapon in any way. So stop trying to tell people it's a bad weapon. It's like most people saying you don't need to spend a dime but probably forgotten how grindy the game is. Where spending some money could help a lot.

Ah, forgot that was one of my favorite things about it. There is something really satisfying about seeing your enemy pinned to a wall

poor Rhino I used to think he was so cool when they first released him.

Rhino Prime or just Rhino? because Rhino never was released

Thats how long ago I first started playing. Rhino wasn't released yet. Been off and on ever since.

Now that I think about it, the game may have technically been in Beta. Don't really remember but Rhino definitely wasn't a playable yet. This is one of the reasons I can see more then most how far this game has come. The melee, the movement, variety, the UI,etc.

Uhh, i can't find anything in Closed Beta Update notes about Rhino being released, like he was available from the start

Oh hell yes. I get the chance to talk about my favorite family of weapon in the game, the Gorgons. I'll be using maxxed out builds for all of these and I will assume you have event mods, so beware if you don't.

Before I start, I gotta say the regular one is a steaming pile of slag, even if I love it. It has mediocre damage, a damage type that is comparatively limited compared to the others, average reserve ammo, and a horribly long reload. However this is alright, you should not bring it to high leveled content to begin with and should be a fine star-chart weapon or a fun goofing off weapon. I assume you have it already, so start your build with your 3 staples: Serration, Heavy Caliber and Split chamber all maxxed. From there, since it doesnt have good status or crit you can slap your stat mods on it to help it's damage out a bit, and for your last slot I would try to fix your reload speed, or you can go for crash course if you have it. I havent actually Forma'd the regular one yet, but I plan to max it out after I finish the wraith. http://warframe-builder.com/Primary_Weapons/Builder/Gorgon/t_30_22233300_131-6-5-132-1-5-133-3-5-137-0-10-138-5-5-141-4-5-150-2-10-534-7-5_137-7-132-8-150-8-133-6-141-6-138-6-131-11-534-11/en/2-0-9 This is the build.

If you have the Wraith, it's a different story. You get slightly better damage and reload in addition to a 5% higher status chance. Do take advantage of this status with dual stat mods primarily because the weapon is so fast you will be proccing shots like a madman. For a stat build I would forgo heavy caliber and just go for Serration and split chamber, then focus on what you're building for. Do you want to strip armor or lack x4 CP? Go for Corrosive and Blast. Do you have x4 CP? Go for Radiation and Viral. You should have 2 utility mod spaces open, so for one I would consider Hammer-shot for a DPS increase and added status chance, then for your last one you can probably consider Heavy Caliber if you want more damage, or a reload mod to help out it's still below average reload. I haven't actually made this build yet, since I don't have the stat mods, but this is how I would build it and I would assume it would be viable. http://warframe-builder.com/Primary_Weapons/Builder/Gorgon_wraith/t_30_22200000_128-4-3-132-1-5-137-0-10-150-2-10-153-7-3-265-3-3-329-6-3-355-5-3_137-7-132-8-150-8-265-7-128-7-355-7-329-7-153-9/en/2-0-45 Here's the build, alot more economical at 3 formas and with almost 80% status chance. Don't forma anything else except the 3 big mods so you can swap your status mods around easily.

Lastly, the Prisma Gorgon. Now I'm going to be biased here because this thing is without a doubt my favorite automatic rifle in the game, and it's one I routinely take to High level content. It's simple to build as well, basically build it how you would build your Soma. Crit mods, elementals, staples, ect. My build is at 6 forma, so while it may seem a bit over your head, I'll say that it's easily the best of the 3 and while not a top tier weapon is completely fine to bring to high level content. The secret to it is the extra crit and the increased ammo pool, which just over all increases the usability of the rifle. Also, it looks gorgeous. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/1475279976753322800/F43AF901685DE49A3AAC65CF2A17739903614F6E/

Basically, I'd reccomend either the Prisma or the Wraith. Boltor Prime fanboys may be right about the rifle being better than these puppies, but at least in the case of the Prisma it's not that much ahead. I wish you luck getting your rifles man, I hope you end up enjoying them as much as I do, haha.

♥♥♥♥ how long ago did I play this? Rhino definitely wasn't available for play at the time. Can't even verify since I can't find anything like yourself. They gave me a crap ton of free stuff though. DE is a nice enough company that when they removed mods, they compensated you for it.

The path of daka daka is glorious indeed.

One of the worst primaries in the game. Sell it. Even the prisma version is kind of underwhelming

It's in my future plans of guns to pick up but from what I hear it's crit builds allow it to perform well at high levels.

updated that post with more words, if you care to read them. And yeah, the crits are nice, but it only goes so far with that low base damage. I'd rather NOT spend 120 rounds on a level 80 Corrupted Bombard and just shoot him in the face with a Latron Wraith/ Prime/ Sancti Tigris, ya' hear?

Latron Wraith is the next gun I'm building up. Got just before I stopped the game for a while so it needs to be put through the paces. Never see it anymore on other players.

I have a build for you, then. It's a friend of mine's, absolutely destroys anything within a matter of seconds. Including bosses and Raid enemies.

The Multishot ontop of all the crits allows for a just massive damage dealer.

People don't use it as often because either they didn't get it or because they're idiots who stick to their Boltor Primes all day.Or just haven't looked at it hard enough, I dunno.

Better to shoot something 40 times and kill it than shoot it twice and then continue to shoot everything else in the room once, according to their logic.
