MAIN GUIDE | BACK TO INTERMEDIATE
Let’s dive into the world of Amps in Warframe. Whether you’re a seasoned Tenno or a new player, understanding Amps is crucial for enhancing your Operator’s combat capabilities. Here’s a comprehensive guide to get you started.
1. What Are Arbitrations?
- Amps are modular weapons wielded by your Operator—the character controlling all your Warframes.
- Similar to Kit guns, Amps grant unique fire modes based on the components used to assemble them.
- They play a vital role in fighting Eidolons and other challenging enemies.
2. Unlocking Amps:
Arbitration Rotations:
- Amps unlock after completing The War Within quest.
- Speak to Quill Onkko in Cetus to obtain your first Amp, the Mote Amp.
- Completing The New War quest also grants the pre-built Sirroco Amp.
- Future Amps are crafted by combining specific parts at either Quill Onkko or Little Duck.
Crafting Amps:
- An Amp consists of three components:
- Prism: Primary fire mode.
- Scaffold: Secondary fire mode.
- Brace: Stat bonus.
- Remember the acronym: Primary Prism, Secondary Scaffold, and Bonus Brace.
- There are seven tiers for each part.
- Tiers 1-4 from Quill Onkkoin Cetus
- Tiers 5-7 from Little Duck in Fortuna.
Leveling and Gilding Amps:
- After crafting an Amp, use your Operator to level it up.
- Gilding is the process of making your Amp permanent and granting Mastery Points.
- Gild your Amp at Quill Onkko or Little Duck once it’s leveled.
3. Best Amp Combinations:
- The best Amps depend on your playstyle and the content you engage in.
- Here are some popular combinations:
- 223 Amp Great for beginners and general use.
- X47 Amp Mid-End Game General Amp
- X77 Amp Excellent for Eidolon hunts (replace ‘x’ with your preferred Prism).
- Experiment with different combinations to find what suits you best.
Remember, mastering Amps will significantly enhance your Operator’s combat effectiveness. Whether you’re hunting Eidolons or facing other challenges, choose wisely and customize your Amp to dominate the battlefield!
