Warframe RailJack

I see many people struggling with the new Railjack system.

The horror of the Railjack

When playing Warframe I noticed a lot op players who don't understand the new Railjack system.
If it is building the railjack or finding out where all the keys controls and other game machanics are.

You probably remember that day you could start building a Dry Dock in your dojo.

After that building the Cephalon Cy.
And together with your new Cephalon Cy buddy you did some Story missions to build the amazing Railjack, and ended poor and broke.
Than finally that day came you had your sweet Railjack baby all finished up and went on your first mission.

Or you just joined others, who did what I mentioned before, and jumped into your first Railjack mission.

The moment you joined the mission people started screeming and cursing, because they didn't knew the basic's of operating a railjack.

Don't use the Omni to fix the damages.
Someone man the guns.
We can't destroy that Grineer Crewships.
I'm lost how do I get from ... to ...?


Lets start of with the basic's

Dry Dock

Welcome to the amazing place where we can build our first space ship.

But first things first.

What is where in our Dry Dock?

In the bottom right we have two consoles, in the middle we have an other console, on the sides of the railjack we have to platforms. And in the top left the last console.


Lets start with these two consoles. On the left "Research" and on the Right "Configure Railjack"
These two will be your best friends.


In the middle we have an other console "Repair". I don't like this one because this one will take a lot of credits from you. 6,000,000 credits


On the left and right side of your railjack, if finished, you find two ramps going towards it. On end of the platform "Board Railjack" you can enter the railjack, if you have one.


On the top left of your Dry Dock, you have your final console "Return To Orbiter", this one can send you home to the orbiter.

Research

Lets start with the first console you should touch.
When you just build your dry dock this console will help you achieve your railjack.

You will notice you can only purchase "Railjack Cephalon."
This will stay so until you finish your Railjack at the Repair Console.
Once you have finished building your "Railjack Cephalon." in your Orbiter you can come back to the Dojo Dry Dock to begin your new missions at the Repair Console.
Later you will be able to build new parts for your Railjack.

Repair

This console is available after you created your Railjack Cephalon. You will get missions from the new Cephalon, and after finishing each mission you need to craft one of six components of your Railjack. First Fuselage, second Propulsion Systems, third Port Nacelle, fourth Starboard Nacelle, fifth Tail Section and finally Engine Cowling. Afther this you have spend 1,000,000 credits per part. Total of 6,000,000 credits.

Entering the Railjack

Fixing the Railjack

For your Omni-tool to fix your ship you don't need engineering level, nor you need engineering to craft the ammo it's the basic thing you can build at your forges or before you go on your mission at your payload.


2 Forges on the Left Side

2 Forges on the Right Side

The 4 ship forges

The materials for your Omni-tool ammo you get by killing enemy forces. So if you are doing your mission and grab enemy debrie or salvage, you can craft more Revolite.

Railjack hull breach takes 1 minute until failure, you can fix it in that time. If you fail to fix it in that time, Cy simply warps you back home.

Crafting Revolite takes 2 minutes so start your forges before getting hull breach.

Take a note while fixing holes and gaps in your ship, that it has just like mining the perfect fix checkpoint. There are also different ways to fix different damages.

Ship Fire

Electrical Cable

Hull rupture

Hull breach (this gives you the one minute timer)

Controls

These are the default settings for your Railjack.
Note that opening the tactical interface with "L" and not with your map.

This is what it should look like. Player abilities (Saryn), fast travel, and pre-flight prepared ship ability (battle forge)

you might want to add the rare ice effect that you need to fix with the omni: locks a door so that it won't open, fixable form only one side

[Chevalmulticolore]

not true

[星灼]

good

[DickJustice]

What a massive boomer. How dare they make you play a coop game with other people. Oh the tragedy!

Solo is why I quit Warframe... Its not possible to enjoy Warframe as a solo only gamer. I work way to much and am way to busy to get chummy with, keep appointments with, practice with or dedicate certain hours of the day to meet up with other gamers. My life is to random and Ive been cursed at too many times for having to quit sessions due to work or other important things to play multiplayer. I prefer to play by myself anyways. Gamers take losing way to hard and Id rather just not hear the whining. More games are leaning to multiplayer only and its not fair to us solo gamers...

& here i was hoping for the meta gears to be listed

@ RectalSpawn
Thanks for the reply, sounds as if you have ranked up to were railjack is fun, not a newbie & soloing like me.
I think the hate comes from solo play from us railjack newbies.
So achwing & rainjack are now connected in stats & abilities?, so how come only 1 weapon is affected, not all?

[RectalSpawn]

@Zolderkruiper Railjack is not a solo endeavor, at least not in the beginning.

If you do not own a railjack you can queue through navigation and join public games.

I tried the solo thing, too. You'll regret wasting the time and possibly even burn yourself out.

I see a lot of hate for this new game feature and I just do not understand. If you learn what to do it is quite fun and incredibly intense at times. It is very fun, imo.
Plus, the newest quest is in the Veil Proximity.

[Zolderkruiper]

Thank you for the tips, but I am Solo playing railjack and I do not yet own one.
I uses my Clan mate to hitch a ride on his.

So I can't make easy explaining screenshots so quick.

@ShenCoBRa You don't need to repair anything other than catastrophic breaches. You can't die unless you run out of omni-tool ammo, which you can make while you're in the mission if you have enough engineering levels(3/4?)

All ships can be killed by shooting them, but crewships are easiest to board and kill the reactor. This is on purpose, and is why the slingshot exists.
My frost cannon can be fired into the engines of ships and it'll put them out, causing the ship to stop moving. There is another gun that will cause the crew inside to start fighting each other, which you can actually see if you board it.
The electrical guns can jam up ship weapons, I believe.

Arcwing also receives boosts from leveling your intrinsics.

I'd recommend keeping at it, as the hardest part is always the beginning.

Railjack has been fun.
Repaired by first weapon and can now actually do some damage.

Been stuck in walls a few times now, and /unstuck always fixes the issue after a few tries.
