You can of course get better weapons (Kuva or Tenet weapons, etc.), but it'll usually come down to the mods you have equipped. It kind of matters for the normal star map, but it definitely matters for Steel Path.

Since you're early on, you want the damage boost mod (Serration, Point Blank, Hornet Strike), the multishot mod (Split Chamber, Hell's Chamber, Barrel Diffusion, and Lethal Torrent for secondaries as well), crit mods, and elemental mods as well, combining for what you'll be facing.

Corrosive + Electric for Corrosive is good against Grineer, along with Heat. Cold + Electric for Magnetic is good against Corpus, along with Toxin. Either Corrosive or Viral (cold + toxic) is good for Infested, plus Heat.

Sooner rather than later, you'll want to purposefully kill off the Acolytes on Steel Path. You'll want to do so until you have full stacks of the Arcanes they drop, and enough Steel Essence to add the Adapter for the weapons you use, which you can buy from Teshin on any Relay. Once you do, you can drop Serration/Point Plank/Hornet Strike entirely.

Additionally, I'd suggest spending time doing Arbitration missions, so you can get all the Galvanized mods. Those help immensely for damage scaling.

Dracroot? Build up your drifter intrinsic stuff in Duviri, then solo farm for them during emotions that have Kullervo's hold (anger and fear, probably one of the others) since they spawn a bunch there. If you can hang with yourself for about five or six side missions (you can do the easy/non-combat ones), you can get strong depending on your luck.

As for weapons? Incarnon stuff from Cavalero are top notch and should hold you over from the beginning to end. Orvius from War Within is also a good weapon to ugprade, especially if you can get your hands on Melee Influence (do assassination bounties, kill gruzzling, kill boss, use points to get one from bird).

Like stated above, modding is the most important part of it. Frame buffs is also an additional layer of effectiveness that adds a lot to your weapon.

for weapons you might already have consider using nataruk and then mod for viral + heat, you don't need galvanized/primed mods, just put the mandatory mods for most weapons (serration, split chamber, vital sense, point strike/critical delay) and then maybe some fire rate (shred/vile acceleration) and then cryo rounds + malignant force for viral and thermite for heat, if you have better mods then you can replace them obviously

xoris is also really good if you have melee influence arcane
grimoire built for radiation and corrosive can be decent too

id try to get an incarnon weapon from cavalero, they are all really strong once you complete all their challenges and build them properly, phenmor is probably the easiest to build in terms of forma and mods but you do need a secondary and melee incarnon to complete all the challenges for it.

if you have spare plat you can buy primary and/or secondary merciless max ranked for 30-40 plat and do 3-4 steel path incursions (marked in navigation) to get some steel essence and buy arcane adapters for primary/secondary weapons. this should boost your damage output by a lot

Actually using the faction damage boosters will give you much better returns on steel path, and aren't too terrible to farm, assuming they haven't dropped along your journey, already. Some of the specific class mods can also help, and change each warframe's playstyle a bit. A good AOE kuva weapon or tenant isn't a bad idea either, though some have received nerfs, most still perform quite well, if kitted out appropriately.

farm duviri circuit using strong ability based frames to unlock strong incarnon weapons, use those incarnon weapons paired with galvanized chamber to shred steel path. Faction dmg is not neccesary and is annoying to swap around constantly, also there is no faction dmg for every faction and some enemies like acolytes and thrax are not affected either.
