For those of you who are having a hard time understanding how to play him, all you have to do is use your 4, then use your 2. Keep running and use melee to keep the bar above the bright red line until it says 100%, and then enjoy godmode. ( if ever think you are in danger tap your 3)
If running or melee isn’t making the bar above the red line press 1 ( depending on your ability efficiency you can spam 1 to keep it above the red line)
I recommend archon vitality. It adds way more damage than anything else, you won't even need roar to handle level cap due to it working different on him rhan normal: Heat sunder does something odd, casting it takes existing heat procs, and applies a new heat proc on top of them of its own damage + what they had, essentially doubling their damage. This applies to previous casts meaning exponentially scaling damage by using multiple casts in a row If you then introduce archon vitality, you double the heat proc AFTER it scales its damage off existing procs. This means rather than doubling the damage of existing heat procs you are tripling it!
@xmorose Augur secrets and swap avenger for molt augmented to make up the strength. You really don't need his 2 to stay alive for a large part of missions. I don't even run any strength other than molt augmented as it gets you back to 100% by the time you would ever need it in any mission.
@BallerHorn corrosive projection allows you to armor strip prior to having 100% redline, so that is always good, brief respite is also great if you run aegis like myself for activating it consistently
I’ve been running Gauss as a melee crit build with occasional aoe viral with epitaph and it absolutely shreds no matter where I go once I get going. Just such a versatile frame, so many possibilities
A thing with Redline, using Mach rush quickly twice like tap it twice, you'll notice the massive increase in battery over time so instead of having to melee, just tap Mach rush a few times and if you're quick enough it doesn't even drain energy, way faster than meleeing and safer too
Can confirm, also having Mach Crash as an augment gives you a little more breathing room since you create a vortex that pulls enemies into it when you slam into someone or a wall
Worth noting that Quick Thinking is great for Gauss, especially when using a non-thermal sunder duration build w/ firewalker. This is because you will always have energy from kinetic plating since you're not spamming anything, leading to an invincibility loop where you constantly generate energy from taking damage, and that energy then protects you from going down. With kinetic plating, firewalker, sentinel with manifold bond and guardian for shield gating, and quick thinking, it's essentially impossible to die, you don't even get hit from toxin or magnetic procs.
I just started building acceltra prime and using gauss prime, so fun. Gonna build a very similar kit to thjs, hope you make more videos like this for the more in depth frames, very helpful as otherwise i probably wouldnt have played gauss
There's no way, I started playing recently, got gauss cause I like speedsters, found your channel two days ago and today you upload this. This timing is amazing, thank you!
As a Gauss main before the prime version comes out, this is very accurate. I must say i actually started the game because of you having a beginner guide and was subscribed. Now that you have a Gauss prime guide video, I'm very happy 🥰🥰🥰. Keep up the loving videos. ❤❤❤
@KeyMusic15the full package is that much (gauss bundle + 90-day boosters and stuff). they’re usually displayed as two different bundles in the market, but this time round theyre one bundle, but you can still buy each one separate
Prime laser rifle is a much better stat stick for tenacious bond. You just need a riven with CC + point strike. It’s only really more useful on Diriga though, since it has IPS + whatever other elements you can fit on it. My build uses the new Radiation mod as well so I get 6 statuses on Dirigas zap, great for priming. But it does shoot faster than the 2 other weapons you mentioned too, so it can also be useful for procing synth deconstruct or energy generator on Dethcube with some fire rate and punch through.
Looking at this build has actually given me a couple of new ideas on how to build Gauss. Oh man tonight is going to be a long night of theorycrafting potential builds lol.
@Levi-ix5es I'm addicted to using warframe abilities, so I have a bad habit of stacking as much ability strength as humanly possible in to each frame lol. It took a bit, but with the help of MHBlacky_ENG, I took some bits from his build and combined it with mine. For my build I made use of both Archon Vitality and Archon Flow, since Gauss' 3 does both heat and cold damage and I'll be damned if it didn't work better than I thought. Archon Vitality double proccing heat damage is just sooooo good.
After seeing the gauss prime memes and after seeing this video, i have decided to get the gauss prime access pack when i can because it looks sick and op
Thank you It was really fun, I'm enjoying the nourish gauss build. I haven't tried it with Roar yet, but soon I will. I know you said to put an unranked combat discipline but in one of the picture slides of the full build for the warframe I saw it was a maxed-out combat discipline so I put it in there as well. I'm pretty sure you already know I kept killing my self everytime I hit thermal sunder at a 100 percent lol. So I'm taking it that the maxed out combat discipline was so you you could fit all the mods in the photo. I learned the hard way. But the build is fun and corpus enemies with the toxin build on the Acceltra turned them into skid marks! Thank you again. Glad you got over your cold.
It is a bloody great build. I have done some changes and want to share if ppl want to do as well. Replace the Primed Flow with the Narrow Minded, this is a great boost and help sustain your buffs since buffs in 4th ability scales from Duration. Then, use 2x Azure Archon Shards for 150 Energy max leaving you 375 Energy and Equilibrium is strong enough to sustain the energy. The other 3 shards will be Crimson Archon Shards for Duration. You will have stronger and longer buffs but to the cost of lower Range for 3rd ability. However, the radius of the 3rd ability still gonna be 20 meters so I'm fine with that. For the Acceltra, you might wanna use the Rifle Ammo Mutation mod since the mod gives you more ammo conversion and you should have already had Vigilante Supplies on your Companion Weapon. Overall, great guide, neat build and very well explanation. Thank you so much for making this guide.
Wish you so much fun with his Prime! :D You'll have him on the weekend ;) Aa weapon you can also use the normal Acceltra till you get the Prime. It's pretty good, too ;)
little bit of an error at 11:05, sentinels aren't the only companion type that can run guardian, i personally use a hound with guardian, shield charger, manifold bond and null audit as mods that can increase my survivability further (null audit is especially useful when it steals a leech eximus or guardian eximus ability) and of course as a primer with manifold bond and synergized prospectus
loving your guides my man. Thank you for the time and effort. One thing and maybe it’s a moot point for veterans but I am about 300 hours in and a quick comment about the number of forma and other items to make the build work would be nice. I wanna try them all but the forma and such is the barrier for me personally.
After building gauss prime and getting all the blueprints and materials for the weapons i realized that they are MR locked… i need to be MR 14… im MR 7
Yep I got gauss through relics then all his parts at the same mr as u an spent the rest of my time grinding to mr15 now an it wasnt that long ago u just gotta lock in a really want it lol
Yeah that kinda sucks for low levels. But you don’t need the prime variants. Just get the non primed weapons and use those until you get enough MR. Or even better just do your own thing with your own build until you get MR14, not like they’ll go anywhere in the meantime.
I got gauss prime as soon as i saw the trailer and never looked back his playstyle is so fun that i'm scared i'm not gonna touch any other warframe because running into enemies until i get 100 battery and evaporating everything in my path has to be the most fun i've had in a game in a long while
play corrosive projection it lets you armor strip earlier you don't need combat discipline with his build there is no nuking with his 3rd as ennemies see you and you still take some damage, and it'll give you some free space to get higher lvl mods
Big Rick & Morty vibe with this thumbnail: "You son of a b*tch, i'm in!" xD Nice video btw. I can't wait my Gauss Prime finishing to be crafted so i can finally try this ^^
The best gauss mix between duration and nuking Brief respite i just use it cus this is a spamable thermal sunder build and if i were hit by electricity i can just spam it over and over till its over, cunning drift,primed continuity,streamline,equilibrium,umbrul intensify,overextended,primed flow,fleeting expertise rank 3 since you only need 170 efficiency,and stretch Arcanes: molt augmented and efficiency 4 red shards duration and one yellow casting speed You can switch out umbral intensify for any other mod if you have molt augmented maxed rank i use intensify cus i only need to get 60 kills to get 100% strength back instead of 200 this build took me to level 1k on zariman youll only have 65 seconds of his redline and kinetic plating but the lower the duration the quicker you reach 100% and the quicker you reach invincibility and full potential thermal sunder
Great guide, looking at the build, your combat discipline was maxed out but you said it should be at zero. does this imply we need to use forma or just a slight overlook
It's hilarious that only after gauss prime releases everyone realizes he is actually strong as fuck, rember the prime varient only gives shield cap and sprint speed nothing else gauss was always good
@MHBlacky_ENG I'm not specifically going after you btw you're just like the 200th person I've seen post a gauss prime video showcasing how broken he is, you did get your stuff right though and even taught me how to use kinetic plating properly and I've been playing him for years now
yep i didnt play gauss because fuck farming gausss@@toastbrains1471 i got him free on console i think with gold or something. so i was able to get him just this week because of crosssave
Tell me you never play gauss without telling me you never play gauss. This build is pretty bad tbh. The wrym build is good and all but the gauss mod configuration is pointless. You say it's to buff your weapons but you build for range. Thermal sunder is a very powerful ability with good range and amazing effects adding overextended is not necessary unless you plan on only using thermal sunder as your means of damage. You then proceed to waste 2 mods slots on strength mods because you tanked it so much with overextended. You'd be better off running stretch and augur reach for 190% range which is more than enough and saving the 2 strength mods slots for other better mods such as more duration. Equilibrium for energy is also compleatly unnecessary. Taking IPS heat cold and blast damage while kinetic plating is active restores your energy. Duration, which you say is used to keep abilities up.longer does so much more. The strength of the buffs from redline are affected by duration rather than strength. If you want to make this a weapon buffing build you go for max duration without sacking range to keep sunder as a useful ability. Recommending nautilus as a companion is also useless because casting heat AND THEN cold sucks enemies in. "If you cast cold and then heat 'or vice versa' you make the enemies explode" is only half true. Heat and then cold creates more of an implosion effect. I've been playing gauss almost exclusively since 2020 and I've tried a lot of builds. You made this build and called it a "weapon buffing" build and ots just not. I don't have any actual problems with you building your gauss like this or reccomending other people do too. My problem is you advertising it as something it's not and something it does poorly even. If you wanted a weapon buffing gauss focus less on range and more on duration. You can also use thermal transfer to put viral on your weapons saving a mod slot making weapons even stronger. Make your build how you want but don't say "this builds main focus is buffing your weapons" and then do nothing to actually buff weapons other than arcane avenger +gauss
i get ur point playing gauss all my warframe time and understand that 3 of the mods are kinda useless but for me the 175% range doesnt quite fit it u maybe have a recommendation for more range without sacrifizing 2 mods slot to comprehend
Really Great Video, I plan to build my Gauss this way. Was wondering how you feel Rubico Prime would be for this build, I generally like to play snipers in these types of games.
Got the Prime Acces pack for 70€, warframe + weapons + 2650 plat. My first purchase in the game. It gave me 160 houra of gameplay for free so its okay to give money back.
Hey blacky! Question, does the vigilante mods work even if some of them are in the primary weapon and the others are on the companion? Love your videos! ♥️
Now I need to get him. Btw thanks for this video. And If you going to make some odher builds for Warframes I would like to see my boy Nezha. Keep the good work.
Ok but Gauss with max duration + maxed Arcane Pistoleer + Twin Grakatas with Secondary Deadhead = dumb stupid fun! Just kit out the Twin Grakatas with a regular crit build with any elements, put on Magnetic Might, Primed Target Cracker and Merciless Gunfight for maximum crit damage and a bit of Punch-Through.
😭 I literally have all the relics for gauss prime but im scared shitless to open my gauss prime relics because when I came back to warframe after a break to continue getting gauss prime relics It got vaulted that exact same day
Most of the survivability tools in this build are unnecessary. With Fast Deflection and Gauss's passive combined, the shield recharge delay is shorter than the minimum shield gate time even under 50% battery charge. This means that you are functionally invulnerable to anything but toxin (and by proxy, gas procs), hence why I think Rolling Guard and Fast Deflection are all the survivability you need, and Kinetic Plating can very easily be replaced by a helminth ability.
Stopped playing warframe in 2019 when I started getting busy with school, but now I've started playing again and wanted to thank you for your awesome videos. Immediately subbed!! And you inspired me to dish out some cheese to buy Gauss Prime because of this video
5:14 Ive noticed that it matters which one you cast first (Im not sure which order does what) bc one way it pushes enemys away and the other way pulls them towards you.
@@mysticfox5764 because the build uses absolute maximum duration, which means no range, which means his 3rd is useless. sure, you can go and fine tune it to have some range and less duration and whatever, but then its not the same build, and will not feel as fun, at least imo I use a separate build for his 3rd. this one is for the funny gun go omega brrr
Best Kaiju loadout ever made by me was 4 Lrg Pulse in place of the PPC's then refitted LRM 15 down to 5 then replace the other shoulder with a Heavy Rifle. 2 tons of ammo for LRM's and Rifle and fit in 10 double heat sinks. Never have to stop firing!!!
Critical Delay gets it up to 102%, Arcane Avenger raises it to 150% Crit Chance so half yellow half orange. Then the Set Bonus of the Vigilante Mods enhances part of the oranges to red ;)
What about subsuming a movement ability to further Gauss as a movement frame? Now, I'm only MR12 and still entry level content so far, but I was looking at subsumable abilities at work and thought about what it would be like if I subsumed Nehza's fire walker so you get even more speed and a trail of fire. OR Saryn's molt for speed and an explosive decoy...
I made completely different build for Gauss. Brief Respite, Rush, Primed Continuity, Augur Message, Primed Flow, Fast Deflection, Primed Redirection, Adaptation, Carnis Carapace, Narrow Minded with arcanes Aegis and Guardian. So simply tried to make tanky build who can survive almost everything and who play the 99% only with guns and using sunder for CC and armor strip.
@@debrajbhattacharya1101 Not always you able to maintain 100 battery in solos on SP or to hide for shield regen even with mod for it. Brief respite it's your lifeline, cause I love melee's and be in the middle of a mess)
Just spam mach rush for battery, it gives the same amount of battery as thermal sunder while costing far less. It's really easy to maintain 100% battery, if you see it dropping a little bit just spam the ability. Just to make it clear, only tap the ability, tapping the ability is what really builds the battery, it's slower if you hold it. Imo "Corrosive Projection" is the best aura for gauss (unless fighting corpus), as you can fully armor strip without needing redline to be at 100%, so long as redline is active and battery is full you can fully armor strip (cast cold first and then heat if you can't get it to work). Brief respite is not needed for gauss. For survivability just use arcane aegis and fast deflection. Look up "Immortal GAUSS w/ Arcane Aegis test" for more details (also look at pinned comment). If you want a true nuke build just search for a video called "170-200 KPM Gauss Prime build". If you're building for redline, redline SCALES with duration and only duration. And you don't need more than 100% strength (below 100% you can't armor strip and don't have full immunity from kinetic plating). I also want to make it clear that there's no correct way to use gauss, gauss is just that one warframe that can make almost anything work, do whatever you want with your gauss.
If you use arcane frostbite your damage may go up, especially if you have increased strength for faction damage roar through helminth, I do use a riv, but with my stats I do around 4.5 lowest shot, 15-35k on average shot, and 100k on the highest damage possible
Thank you sooooo much. I've been playing with him for about a week now and waited to watch this but I LEGIT had no idea how any of his stuff worked. Also, I'm just gonna use Meatlug, aka my kitgun lava ball launcher as the secondary. Don't aim with that
Icl i cooked up this voruna setup thats immortal and dishes out consistent millions, obliterates acolites (including violence) and now idk what other build is gona satisfy me 😭
@@golodniyhistoryck171 MIDAS_TOUCH on overframe (I can't link stuff in yt comments also ingor my old builds pls i was brain ded back then lol.) pls leave a comment on it if it worked tho. Also I've never tried using that build without my innodem build but it should still work. The xata's whisper isn't essential and i tried it with gloom which is also not essential. What is essential is at least 2 red archon shards and more you have the better
things that add a stack of heat do more damage. simply casting two heat sunders you double and extend the damage. using stuff that adds an extra heat stack is the move.
How do YOU play your Gauss?

@@ethanpreble7 that’s why he said to leave at level 0 in the video
you had me at Gauss.
Big Rick & Morty vibe with this thumbnail: "You son of a b*tch, i'm in!" xD
Nice video btw. I can't wait my Gauss Prime finishing to be crafted so i can finally try this ^^
Really? xD
Gotta admit, I've never watched it xD
But thank you for the lovely feedback and I wish you much fun with your Gauss
@@MHBlacky_ENG Never watched either, but the catchphrase has become a meme classic x)
Only 9h left !!
The best gauss mix between duration and nuking
Brief respite i just use it cus this is a spamable thermal sunder build and if i were hit by electricity i can just spam it over and over till its over, cunning drift,primed continuity,streamline,equilibrium,umbrul intensify,overextended,primed flow,fleeting expertise rank 3 since you only need 170 efficiency,and stretch
Arcanes: molt augmented and efficiency
4 red shards duration and one yellow casting speed
You can switch out umbral intensify for any other mod if you have molt augmented maxed rank i use intensify cus i only need to get 60 kills to get 100% strength back instead of 200 this build took me to level 1k on zariman youll only have 65 seconds of his redline and kinetic plating but the lower the duration the quicker you reach 100% and the quicker you reach invincibility and full potential thermal sunder
instructions unclear,I am now in love with gauss.
Great guide, looking at the build, your combat discipline was maxed out but you said it should be at zero. does this imply we need to use forma or just a slight overlook
I wish this build had screenshots of the mod setup screen.
10:40 you have all mods for the warframe
@@aymericpanuel4937 don't know how i kissed that. Twice i watched the video lol
Just checking, now in game it says 14-70% damage reduction for his kinetic plating. Is that true when your battery is 100%?
"I will show you what makes him so good" while showing a compilation of red crit
Just a random thing, the more ability duration the slower the build up towards 100% redline
Crafting gauss prime! Im fairly new to the game, he's my first frame
Would be nice to see just a page where all your mods are on Gauss, I already understand 90 procent of the modding setting etc
I’m surprised I don’t see more of this frame. I’m MR 15 and have seen him used only a few times
Really? From what I hear in the comments, everybody and their mom seem to main him xD
@@MHBlacky_ENG idk seems like all I see is Wisp, Dante, Titanium, Revenant and Mesa. But I’m not in SP yet. Maybe that’s why.
@@totallysick88able in asia server, you can see gauss everywhere, in every mission, i rarely see gauss in NA. so all depends in server i guess
It's hilarious that only after gauss prime releases everyone realizes he is actually strong as fuck, rember the prime varient only gives shield cap and sprint speed nothing else gauss was always good
Well to be fair I never played him much before his Prime but most creators who did already loved him before.
I agree they play him for content not because they think he’s good
most primes are easier to obtain than most of their non prime counterparts.
@MHBlacky_ENG I'm not specifically going after you btw you're just like the 200th person I've seen post a gauss prime video showcasing how broken he is, you did get your stuff right though and even taught me how to use kinetic plating properly and I've been playing him for years now
yep i didnt play gauss because fuck farming gausss@@toastbrains1471
i got him free on console i think with gold or something. so i was able to get him just this week because of crosssave
This helped me à ton
Tell me you never play gauss without telling me you never play gauss. This build is pretty bad tbh. The wrym build is good and all but the gauss mod configuration is pointless. You say it's to buff your weapons but you build for range. Thermal sunder is a very powerful ability with good range and amazing effects adding overextended is not necessary unless you plan on only using thermal sunder as your means of damage. You then proceed to waste 2 mods slots on strength mods because you tanked it so much with overextended. You'd be better off running stretch and augur reach for 190% range which is more than enough and saving the 2 strength mods slots for other better mods such as more duration. Equilibrium for energy is also compleatly unnecessary. Taking IPS heat cold and blast damage while kinetic plating is active restores your energy. Duration, which you say is used to keep abilities up.longer does so much more. The strength of the buffs from redline are affected by duration rather than strength. If you want to make this a weapon buffing build you go for max duration without sacking range to keep sunder as a useful ability. Recommending nautilus as a companion is also useless because casting heat AND THEN cold sucks enemies in. "If you cast cold and then heat 'or vice versa' you make the enemies explode" is only half true. Heat and then cold creates more of an implosion effect. I've been playing gauss almost exclusively since 2020 and I've tried a lot of builds. You made this build and called it a "weapon buffing" build and ots just not. I don't have any actual problems with you building your gauss like this or reccomending other people do too. My problem is you advertising it as something it's not and something it does poorly even. If you wanted a weapon buffing gauss focus less on range and more on duration. You can also use thermal transfer to put viral on your weapons saving a mod slot making weapons even stronger. Make your build how you want but don't say "this builds main focus is buffing your weapons" and then do nothing to actually buff weapons other than arcane avenger +gauss
Jesus that was an essay I'm sorry to anyone reading this
Very good point. Could you maybe link your build so i can see what a proper optimal build looks like? Thank you :D
@@tieranasaur It's still significantly correct. The build is milquetoast and bad at what it promises
isnt argur reach and stretch together only 175% ?
i get ur point playing gauss all my warframe time and understand that 3 of the mods are kinda useless but for me the 175% range doesnt quite fit it u maybe have a recommendation for more range without sacrifizing 2 mods slot to comprehend
Really Great Video, I plan to build my Gauss this way. Was wondering how you feel Rubico Prime would be for this build, I generally like to play snipers in these types of games.
Do not play a sniper with gauss
Got the Prime Acces pack for 70€, warframe + weapons + 2650 plat. My first purchase in the game. It gave me 160 houra of gameplay for free so its okay to give money back.
Corrosive projection + heat inherit = W
Sure, Heat Inherit is BIG on Gauss :O
Nice fashion frame
I passed a lot of time farming prime junk to have enough plat to buy Gauss Prime
Hey blacky! Question, does the vigilante mods work even if some of them are in the primary weapon and the others are on the companion? Love your videos! ♥️
Now I need to get him. Btw thanks for this video. And If you going to make some odher builds for Warframes I would like to see my boy Nezha. Keep the good work.
Thank you for the encouraging feedback!

Sorry i rather sit down
Thanks buddy, just got my prime gauss and it's fun as hell albeit a bit confusing lol
Ok but Gauss with max duration + maxed Arcane Pistoleer + Twin Grakatas with Secondary Deadhead = dumb stupid fun!
Just kit out the Twin Grakatas with a regular crit build with any elements, put on Magnetic Might, Primed Target Cracker and Merciless Gunfight for maximum crit damage and a bit of Punch-Through.
I got over 400 duration on my gauss with energized munitions and bubonico alt fire, it's wild
Ty🎉
Tysm
Whats that syandana? Looks amazing
What are those shoulder pads? I really like them!
It's the Piercing Eye Shoulder Armor ;)
😭 I literally have all the relics for gauss prime but im scared shitless to open my gauss prime relics because when I came back to warframe after a break to continue getting gauss prime relics It got vaulted that exact same day
if you have any leftover plat, go onto warframe market because a full Gauss Prime Set is only 40 platinum :)
Gauss prime hasn't been vaulted yet
@@itsrainingcats9968 wait fr? I went into my codex and the current gauss prime relics I have says vaulted, I'll go check again
@@TheMaddGodd thanks definitely will check
4:21 does this work with glaives thrown heavy?
Haven't tested it but it specifies that it's melee hits so I think it should include thrown melee...
So can we get the build shown with formas and everything or what?
Most of the survivability tools in this build are unnecessary. With Fast Deflection and Gauss's passive combined, the shield recharge delay is shorter than the minimum shield gate time even under 50% battery charge. This means that you are functionally invulnerable to anything but toxin (and by proxy, gas procs), hence why I think Rolling Guard and Fast Deflection are all the survivability you need, and Kinetic Plating can very easily be replaced by a helminth ability.
Magnetic
Stopped playing warframe in 2019 when I started getting busy with school, but now I've started playing again and wanted to thank you for your awesome videos. Immediately subbed!! And you inspired me to dish out some cheese to buy Gauss Prime because of this video
Heyho first of all big thank you for the awesome feedback and welcome to the crew
5:14 Ive noticed that it matters which one you cast first (Im not sure which order does what) bc one way it pushes enemys away and the other way pulls them towards you.
Heat then cold pushes and cold then heat pulls
Maximum duration + Redline + energized munitions over his 3rd + Acceltra p = explosive A10 Warthog
Why his 3rd over his 1st tho?
I'd assume that armor strip over a quick zoom would be better no?
@@mysticfox5764 because the build uses absolute maximum duration, which means no range, which means his 3rd is useless.
sure, you can go and fine tune it to have some range and less duration and whatever, but then its not the same build, and will not feel as fun, at least imo
I use a separate build for his 3rd. this one is for the funny gun go omega brrr
Best Kaiju loadout ever made by me was 4 Lrg Pulse in place of the PPC's then refitted LRM 15 down to 5 then replace the other shoulder with a Heavy Rifle. 2 tons of ammo for LRM's and Rifle and fit in 10 double heat sinks. Never have to stop firing!!!
7:40 how to get umbral intensify?
It’s tied to Excalibur umbra which you get from a main story quest
@Sininen2 ok thanks
Sacrifice quest
Gauss is invincible with Arcane Aegis fast deflection
Joke’s on you, MHBlacky! I’ve been loving Gauss since he came out!!!
Trendsetter :P
Im missing the part where he showed you how to do the red crits with the acceltra
Critical Delay gets it up to 102%, Arcane Avenger raises it to 150% Crit Chance so half yellow half orange. Then the Set Bonus of the Vigilante Mods enhances part of the oranges to red ;)
What about subsuming a movement ability to further Gauss as a movement frame? Now, I'm only MR12 and still entry level content so far, but I was looking at subsumable abilities at work and thought about what it would be like if I subsumed Nehza's fire walker so you get even more speed and a trail of fire. OR Saryn's molt for speed and an explosive decoy...
I use Fire Walker in place of Thermal Sunder and it is a lot of fun, but can struggle a little.
I made completely different build for Gauss.
Brief Respite, Rush, Primed Continuity, Augur Message, Primed Flow, Fast Deflection, Primed Redirection, Adaptation, Carnis Carapace, Narrow Minded with arcanes Aegis and Guardian.
So simply tried to make tanky build who can survive almost everything and who play the 99% only with guns and using sunder for CC and armor strip.
why brief respite ?
@@debrajbhattacharya1101 For overshield when you below half of your shields your sunder return almost to full.
@@MrDaemonic6 but doesn't he take no damage from most damage types and he has insane shield regen when he does take damage
@@debrajbhattacharya1101 Not always you able to maintain 100 battery in solos on SP or to hide for shield regen even with mod for it.
Brief respite it's your lifeline, cause I love melee's and be in the middle of a mess)
Just spam mach rush for battery, it gives the same amount of battery as thermal sunder while costing far less. It's really easy to maintain 100% battery, if you see it dropping a little bit just spam the ability. Just to make it clear, only tap the ability, tapping the ability is what really builds the battery, it's slower if you hold it.
Imo "Corrosive Projection" is the best aura for gauss (unless fighting corpus), as you can fully armor strip without needing redline to be at 100%, so long as redline is active and battery is full you can fully armor strip (cast cold first and then heat if you can't get it to work). Brief respite is not needed for gauss.
For survivability just use arcane aegis and fast deflection. Look up "Immortal GAUSS w/ Arcane Aegis test" for more details (also look at pinned comment).
If you want a true nuke build just search for a video called "170-200 KPM Gauss Prime build".
If you're building for redline, redline SCALES with duration and only duration. And you don't need more than 100% strength (below 100% you can't armor strip and don't have full immunity from kinetic plating).
I also want to make it clear that there's no correct way to use gauss, gauss is just that one warframe that can make almost anything work, do whatever you want with your gauss.
Another question 😅. How is his acceltra crit chance over 100%. Would I need the prime version because from what I’ve seen it’s only a 2% increase.
Mods brother. Everything is about mods
Prime with crit delay gets you to 102% cc, the normal one can not hit over 100% with only one crit mod
If you use arcane frostbite your damage may go up, especially if you have increased strength for faction damage roar through helminth, I do use a riv, but with my stats I do around 4.5 lowest shot, 15-35k on average shot, and 100k on the highest damage possible
Thank you sooooo much. I've been playing with him for about a week now and waited to watch this but I LEGIT had no idea how any of his stuff worked. Also, I'm just gonna use Meatlug, aka my kitgun lava ball launcher as the secondary. Don't aim with that
Icl i cooked up this voruna setup thats immortal and dishes out consistent millions, obliterates acolites (including violence) and now idk what other build is gona satisfy me 😭
Can you link that build? Pls
@@golodniyhistoryck171 MIDAS_TOUCH on overframe (I can't link stuff in yt comments also ingor my old builds pls i was brain ded back then lol.) pls leave a comment on it if it worked tho. Also I've never tried using that build without my innodem build but it should still work. The xata's whisper isn't essential and i tried it with gloom which is also not essential. What is essential is at least 2 red archon shards and more you have the better
@@golodniyhistoryck171 theres some crappy demo vids on my yt
MY BOI GAUSS PRIME IS HERE
And he's here to stay :D
i did everything like in the build but my acceltra prime does like 200 dmg per red crit
he has primary merciless , roar , and viral on his acceltra and he also strips armor with 2 cast of his 3rd ability
To do more damage With thermal thunder, use Archos vitality, u get 2x fire damage.
things that add a stack of heat do more damage. simply casting two heat sunders you double and extend the damage. using stuff that adds an extra heat stack is the move.
Can i use reg acceltra instead of prime
should work the same, a little less damage though
