For those difficulties not covered by the original pastebin that
8
people always ask the thread about. These are questions that have
9
been asked loads of times and the answers. If there's something wrong
10
in this pastebin reply to the thread's OP and it'll be fixed.

1. GENERAL
14
----------
15
16
I PICKED THE WRONG STARTING FRAME. WHAT THE FUCK CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
17
    Nothing. You'll have to make a new account or suck it up until
18
    you can build/buy a new Frame.
19
 
20
WHAT SHOULD I USE MY 50 PLAT ON? THOSE SCARVES LOOK PRETTY KICK ASS.
21
    Spend them on slots, they're the only thing that can't be farmed
22
    or achieved through Alerts. If you're not sure if you'll need
23
    them (Pro-tip: you're wrong), save it until you find something
24
    that's worth it.
25
 
26
MAN, FUCK THIS SHIT! I'M GONNA BUY SOME REVIVES WITH MY PLAT.
27
    Don't ever do this. Ever. Don't trust me? Ask the general;
28
    I dare you. I double-dare you, motherfucker.
29
30
THEN I'LL GO BUY SOME MODS IN THE MARKET FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
31
    Whatever you do, don't buy the Mod Packs. Trust me.

35
ALRIGHT, I'LL BUY SLOTS. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY?
36
    Menu -> Equipment -> Inventory -> Buy Slots -> ??? -> Profit
37
    Be sure to get both slots for Frames and Weapons.
38
 
39
WHAT THE FUCK IS A POTATO?
40
    Orokin Catalysts and Reactors. They look like potatoes.
41
    The Orokin Cells also look like reversed potatoes too.
42
43
MY EYES ARE BLEEDING FROM ALL THE LIGHT AND SATURATION!
44
    Turn off Bloom, Color Correction, and any other option in
45
    the settings that can cause heavy retinal damage.
46
47
THE FUCKING SHIP TALKING IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
48
    You can mute Ordis' volume in the audio options.
49
    It's also possible to turn off the radio scanner too.
50
 
51
SO THE POINT OF THIS GAME IS TO FARM WHILE FARMING TO FARM EVEN MORE?
52
    Yes.
53
54
I THOUGHT I WAS FREE, BUT I CAME BACK. WHAT KIND OF SHIT DID I MISS?
55
    I don't know either, but here's a recap of the updates:

2. BUILDING
60
-----------
61
 
62
SHOULD I BUILD THIS [WEAPON NAME]?
63
    Don't build something just because it's the flavor of the month.
64
    The point of this game is to kill enemies as efficiently and quickly
65
    as possible. If you know the weapon can't do that, then don't waste
66
    your time and materials on it.
67
 
68
WHY CAN'T I BUILD MY FUCKING AFURIS / DUAL WEAPONS?
69
    You need to pick the Furis you want to build it with. Click on
70
    the Furis icons on the blueprint and select the ones you want to
71
    use to build the Afuris. Yes, this does mean you need to have at
72
    least two Furis to build.
73
 
74
SO I JUST NEED THE FRAME'S BLUEPRINT FROM THE SHOP TO BUILD THAT SHIT?
75
    No. The master Blueprint from the shop requires a Helmet, Chassis, &
76
    Systems. To get the blueprints for each, you'll have to farm the
77
    respective boss/area. Get ready to farm (because that's all you're
78
    going to do anyways).
79
80
HOLY FUCK! IT TAKES HALF A DAY TO BUILD THIS SHIT?
81
    Yes. Some things take even longer (up to three days for a full
82
    Frame and 3 hours for each of its components).
83
84
CAN I TRY THAT TRANSMUTATION THING TO MY MODS?
85
    Don't try this feature unless you're made out of Credits.
86
    It's basically sacrificing multiple Mods to possibly get a higher
87
    ranked one. And knowing this game, RNG will fuck you over if you do.
88
89
THERE'S CLAN-ONLY SHIT I COULD BUILD?
90
    U8 added 3 new materials which are needed in acquiring tech you
91
    get from the clan. Those samples are also used in building the
92
    blueprints you get from the research.
93
94
WHY THE FUCK DOES MY CLAN HAVE NOTHING?
95
    First, you'd need the rooms pertaining to those weapons if they
96
    haven't yet. You need to donate materials to the labs to start the
97
    progress of each. Just go up to a closed door or inside a lab to
98
    contribute from there. Or you can just join a clan which has everything.
99
    Once they're finished, you can copy the Blueprint for an amount of Credits.
100
101
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE ARCH-WING THINGS? I WANT ONE!
102
    If you know how to build a Frame, then you know how this process
103
    works by now. You'll at least get your first set by a given quest.
104
105
 
106
3. ITEMS
107
--------
108
109
WHICH GUN IS THE BEST?
110
    Due to power-creeping, most older weapons are innately more inferior
111
    to most newer guns which basically have the same output. The newest
112
    stuff the game puts out are usually the better option these days.
113
114
MAN, I FUCKING LOVE [MELEE WEAPON OF CHOICE]! ARE THOSE WEAPONS ANY GOOD?
115
    They're usually better than the Skana. Just keep in mind that most
116
    melee weapons are just reskins of one another.
117
 
118
THAT BURSTON LOOKS COOL. I BET NOBODY'S ASKED ABOUT IT IN THE THREAD!
119
    No. Just stop. Almost everyone hates the Burston and thinks it's
120
    shit. Stop asking, please. If you're still interested, give it a
121
    shot, but if you want a weapon that will definitely be effective
122
    find something else.
123
    But if you're aiming for Burston Prime, then go for it.
124
125
THEN HOW ABOUT THOSE FUCK-AWESOME BOWS?
126
    Read above statement. They got a buff, but the answer is the same.
127
    Just replace every word of "Burston" to "Paris" to be precise.
128
    The same could be said for most weapons that have low fire-rates.
129
130
WHAT CONSUMABLE SHIT SHOULD I BRING ON MISSIONS?
131
    That depends on the mission you're doing.
132
    Most of the time, you won't even bother with those things.
133
    Still, Energy restores will sometimes come in handy.
134
 
135
PEOPLE SAY THOSE AURA MODS ARE USEFUL. THE FUCK ARE THEY?
136
    Artifacts now fit in their own separate Mod slot.
137
    They function like other Mods that can be upgraded
138
    & equipped. They also increase your Frame's Mod
139
    capacity, so you should always have one equipped.
140
141
NOW THERE'S THIS NEW EXILUS MODS BULLSHIT!
142
   They're just the utility Mods we've had since then, like Rush.
143
   The only difference is that they have their own slot now,
144
   which you'll have to pay for Plat or have RNGesus bless you.
145
146
147
4. FARMING
148
----------
149
 
150
FUCK ME, THIS SHIT IS EXPENSIVE. WHERE CAN I FARM CREDITS?
151
    Special Alerts are good. The higher level a planet is, the more
152
    credits you'll receive at the end of the mission. Pluto is your
153
    best bet at this point. Void is also a pretty good credit source.
154
155
I WANT TO FARM [RARE MATERIAL], WHERE SHOULD I GO?
156
    Go to the Void. Soon you will be just drowning in that shit.
157
    Or just farm the respective bosses by hovering over each planet.
158
 
159
I WANT TO FARM EXPERIENCE, WHERE SHOULD I GO?
160
    Survival missions are your main source of this if you can keep up
161
    with the scaling. Both are more lucrative than MD is now, and they
162-
    seem to have more parties going too.
162+
    seem to have more parties going too.  Draco is another favorite.
163
164
I STILL NEED SOME EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS FARMING THIS SHIT!
165
    The Extractors can be used on planets that you have fully covered on
166
    for some extra materials while you're on missions, or just away in
167
    general. 
168
169
WHAT IF I'M ALREADY SWIMMING IN ALL THE BLUEPRINTS AND MATERIALS I WANT?
170-
    Then you could try trading them in for Platinum with other players.
170+
    With materials you can make random shit in your clan's dojo.  
171-
    Be sure to let your inner-DE take hold and grabble up all shmekels.
171+
    You can also currently trade prime weapon parts, prime blueprints and 
172
    mods to other players
173
174
BUT WHAT IF I DON'T NEED THE FUCKING PLATINUM AS WELL?
175
    There's a Void Trader that comes every now and then that sells
176
    rare equipment, like Primed version of the Mods. You can only
177
    trade with him if you have Ducats (Which are a currency traded
178
    in the Relay hubs by exchanging Prime parts).
179
180
 
181
5. ENEMIES & COMBAT
182
-------------------
183
184
THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO MELEE NOW?
185
    Melee weapons now have a separate slot for Stance Mods.
186
    Yes, they need to be farmed. Each Stance gives different
187
    combo patterns for each weapon, but the variety is limited.
188
    Here are some useful tips:

191
192
I HAVE A STANCE MOD EQUIPPED, BUT MY MELEE WEAPON IS STILL SHIT!
193
    Melee now also gives a counter for successful attacks so it could
194
    scale with enemies. It can be toggled to focus all your attacks on
195
    channeling, to add damage from energy.
196
    Check the options on which key you bound the melee toggle button.
197
    Don't ask us if it's still shit. You can figure it out yourself.
198
 
199
I SHOOT FUCKING YELLOW AND RED NUMBERS. DOES THIS MEAN I'M THE BEST?
200
    Those are criticals. Yellows are minor crits and red are major
201
    crits. You can get Mods to increase your crit chance and damage.
202
 
203
JESUS CHRIST. WHAT THE FUCK CAN I DO AGAINST ALL THESE GRINDERS/DOGS?
204
    Get fast/good. Or die.
205
206
TEACH ME YOUR SECRETS TO BE FAST THEN...
207
    Macros are seen to be both good and bad, depending on the person
208
    you're asking it to. DE says it's alright, but they say a lot of things.
209
    But if you're good enough, you don't need crutches to go fast.
210
211
WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE IN THIS ONE MISSION?
212
    Someone just used up a Tenno Specter. They are AI controlled Warframes
213
    that mimics the equipment of the person who used it, depending on the
214
    choice of Frame used. Yes, they're a one-time use and a bitch to farm
215
    and craft. That's your choice if you think it's useful.
216
217
WHAT ARE THOSE RED ICONS BELOW MY FRAME'S STATUS?
218
    Those are the 3 main damage dealers in the game: Impact, Puncture & Slash.
219
    If you see them on your HUD, you're currently under their effects.
220
    Puncture lowers lowers the damage you deal, Slash bleeds you, and Impact is impact.
221
 
222
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY SCREEN AND WHERE THE FUCK DID MY ENERGY GO?
223
    You just got hit by a Disruptor. They're the big tentacle Infested.
224
    When they hit you, they drain all your Energy.
225
    There are also new laser doors that do the same thing, so be careful.
226
    While your screen is still fucked, do not pick up Energy balls from
227
    the floor, you'll use them up and you'll get no Energy.
228
 
229
WHY IS EVERYTHING GREEN AND WHERE THE FUCK DID MY HEALTH GO?
230
    You just got hugged by a Toxic Infested. Poison damage goes through
231
    shields, stay away from them. Rhino's Iron Skin gives you protection
232
    from them, if you didn't know.
233
 
234
WHY THE FUCK ARE MY SHIELDS KEEP ON DEPLETING?
235
    If you're playing against Corpus, you're getting leached. There
236
    are green Ospreys that shoot leeches at you. To shake them off,
237
    roll or do a melee attack.
238
    There are also new Corpus machinery that would drain your shields,
239
    like a static grenade on the ground emitting an AoE halo.
240
 
241
OH WHAT THE FUCK. I CAN'T TELEPORT, BUT I DID! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
242
    Grineer Commanders can switch teleport with you.
243
    If not, then it's just your friendly neighborhood Loki.
244
 
245
I'M SHOOTING THEM IN THE HEAD BUT IT DON'T DO SHIT.
246
    Infested and Corpus have different weakpoints. Infested have various
247
    spots for weaknesses & Walkers have balls weakness.
248
    Or just read about Damage 2.0 if they don't do anything.
249
250
WHY THE FUCK IS THAT ENEMY GLOWING ORANGE?
251
    Certain enemies have special abilities that would more or less
252
    fuck you over. It could be anything from slow auras to buff nullification.
253
 
254
MAN, FUCK THESE LASER BEAMS! WHY CAN'T I JUST WALK THROUGH THEM?
255
    Shoot cameras or copter through them. As long as there's a camera
256
    pointing at someone in the map, the laser beams will be up. Make sure
257
    you always shoot cameras in the room you're in so that your teammates
258
    aren't left behind trying to get through. There's a Mod for that
259
    shit now too just in case you're that bad.
260
    And don't pass through the orange laser doors if you need your Energy.
261
 
262
THIS WEAPON IS SHIT, EVERYONE SAID IT WAS AWESOME. FUCK THIS!
263
    Stop evaluating weapons right after you buy them. Of course your
264
    brand new level 1 weapon won't do much against those level 50
265
    Grineer that are probing your anus. Patience. Potato, Multishot,
266
    Damage+ on your weapon goes a long way. And now there's Forma!
267
    Turn any shitty weapon you love into a death delivery service!
268
269
 
270
6. OROKIN
271
--------------
272
273
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE VOID?
274
    They're only accessible through the use of Void keys.
275
    Each key can be acquired from any mission that isn't Assassinate.
276
    The keys range from each mission type, and functions as consumables.
277
278
THERE'S AN INFESTED VERSION OF THIS?
279
    Orokin Derelicts are run-down ships by the Infested, and home for a boss.
280
    They also have special vaults that could only be opened by Dragon Keys,
281
    which acts as inventory items with debuffs.
282
    And here's an in-depth view on those vaults:
283
    https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/498454-guide
284
 
285
WHAT DO I GET FROM THIS SHIT?
286
    Various kinds of special rewards. Prime blueprint parts,
287
    Prime weapon parts, Forma, Void-only materials, etc.
288
    You also get the Corrupted Mods in the Derelict versions.
289
 
290
I STEPPED ON SOMETHING AND IT CLICKED. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED.
291
    The areas are filled with traps and treasure. Make sure you look
292
    around whenever you're doing these secret missions.
293
 
294
THIS IS TIERED?
295
    Yes, you currently have 4 tiers. T2 T3 and T4 are what people look
296-
    have fun in those. It should be noted that only tier 3 and 4 void have bombards and nullifiers.
296+
297
    have fun in those. It should be noted that only tier 3 and 4 void have bombards 
298
    and nullifiers.
299
300
WHAT THE FUCK! ARE THESE JUST RESKINS?
301
    Yes, but in addition, Prime weapons have extra Polarity slots
302
    or better stats. But if you're talking about the enemies, then
303
    the answer is still yes.
304
305
ARE THE VAULTS FUCKING NECESSARY TO BEGIN WITH?
306
    If you want to min-max some Frame abilities to their maximum,
307
    then yes. Just be wary that Corrupted Mods can also render
308
    a build useless if used wrong, and that you'll end up with
309
    negative output.
310
311
THE KEYS ARE A PAIN TO BRING. ARE THERE ANY ALTERNATIVES?
312
    Pro-tip: Bring a Loki. If it still works, that is.
313
314
315
7. SYNDICATES
316
----------------
317
318
WHAT NEW THING IS THIS NOW? I THOUGHT WE'RE OUT OF BETA!
319
    They act like factions that you can join with exclusive missions.
320
    Each one has separate rewards and offerings needed, so choose wisely.
321
    You can join one as soon as you reach Mastery Rank 3.
322
    And no, this game will never leave Alpha/Beta/Whatever stage.
323
324
WHAT'S THE HIGHEST RANK I CAN ACHIEVE?
325
    There are 8 ranks, Rank 5 being the highest.
326
    It goes from -2 to 5. Yes, that's a negative.
327
328
WHY THE FUCK AM I NOT GETTING STANDING POINTS?
329
    You need to wear your Syndicate's Sigil to earn any.
330
331
I JUST GOT SOME SHINY EXIMUS SHIT WHEN I RANKED UP!
332
    They're like the Tenno Specters that were previously introduced.
333
    Only this time, each rank you gain will allow you to summon
334
    a specific enemy type to aid you in missions.
335
    Also, you have to cough up your Standing points to do so.
336
337
WHICH ONE IS THE BEST SYNDICATE?
338
    What's the best covenant in Dark Souls? You tell me.
339
    Each faction has their own enemy. Keep that in mind.
340
341
WHAT ARE THESE "ENEMIES" THEN?
342
    They send random AI assassins to kill you.
343
    Just think of it as another random event like Stalker.
344
345
 
346
8. OTHERS
347
-------
348
349
THERE'S A PVP GAME MODE NOW? THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?
350
    Nothing. Conclave is exactly what it is: Forced PvP in
351
    game centered around PvE. So expect imbalances.
352
    If anything, they already remade and "fixed" this
353
    several times by now.
354
355
HOLY SHIT! I GOT THIS ALIEN DOG THING IN MY SHIP!
356
    Kubrows are space dogs.

361
    Yes, you can. There's also a creepy salesman that comes
362
    every now and then that would sell you rare equipment in
363
    those Relay hubs.
364
365
ARE THESE SOLAR RAILS ANOTHER GRIND AGAIN?
366
    It's the Dark Sectors of the game's universe, and the supposed
367
    end-game that's promised. You'll need to research the room in the
368
    Dojo if you ever do want to participate. It's basically a way to
369
    control planet nodes, which gives benefits to your clan and alliances.

373
374
WHY THE FUCK DON'T I GET ANYTHING FROM THE SOLAR RAILS?
375
    Players will receive bonus Credits and EXP from these missions,
376
    depending on the owner's tax percentage. The bonus is not active
377
    when the Solar Rail is at war with another one, which you'll have
378
    to choose the side to help.

383
384
I DISCOVERED AN AWESOME BUG! SHOULD I TELL THE FORUMS ABOUT IT?
385
    If it's new, then they probably don't know about
386
    it yet. Just have fun with it and share it with
387
    your fellow friends.
388
389
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BUGS?
390
    DE can't fix their sleek coding for shit.
391
    So you just have to accept it or quit the game.

393
WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT UP THIS TORTURE DEVICE CALLED A CLANLIST?

GOD DAMN EMBER IS SO HOT I'M ABOUT TO BUST A NUT OVER HER TOMBOY ASS.
398
    Ember used to be a dude, that's why she looks like a tomboy.

I HAVE THE STRANGEST FEELING THAT THERE'S A STORY ABOUT ASH.
401
    And you are correct. Ash used to be the female one this time.
402
    Such a shame he got used to cater to edgy teenagers.
403
 
404
WHICH FRAME HAS THE BEST ASS?
405
    The one that suits your sick fetishes the most. Into sweaty
406
    muscle girls? Nyx. Looking for something a little more mature
407
    and gassy? Saryn. Etc.

I WANT TO COMMISSION SOME GOOD LEWDS FROM ARTISTS OUT THERE.
