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.
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. The Kubrows can also help you with that too.
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.
171
    Be sure to let your inner-DE take hold and grabble up all shmekels.
172
173
BUT WHAT IF I DON'T NEED THE FUCKING PLATINUM AS WELL?
174
    There's a Void Trader that comes every now and then that sells
175
    rare equipment, like Primed version of the Mods. You can only
176
    trade with him if you have Ducats (Which are a currency traded
177
    in the Relay hubs by exchanging Prime parts).
178
179
 
180
5. ENEMIES & COMBAT
181
-------------------
182
183
THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO MELEE NOW?
184
    Melee weapons now have a separate slot for Stance Mods.
185
    Yes, they need to be farmed. Each Stance gives different
186
    combo patterns for each weapon, but the variety is limited.
187
    Here are some useful tips:

189
    https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/211324-stance-combo
190
191
I HAVE A STANCE MOD EQUIPPED, BUT MY MELEE WEAPON IS STILL SHIT!
192
    Melee now also gives a counter for successful attacks so it could
193
    scale with enemies. It can be toggled to focus all your attacks on
194
    channeling, to add damage from energy.
195
    Check the options on which key you bound the melee toggle button.
196
    Don't ask us if it's still shit. You can figure it out yourself.
197
 
198
I SHOOT FUCKING YELLOW AND RED NUMBERS. DOES THIS MEAN I'M THE BEST?
199
    Those are criticals. Yellows are minor crits and red are major
200
    crits. You can get Mods to increase your crit chance and damage.
201
 
202
JESUS CHRIST. WHAT THE FUCK CAN I DO AGAINST ALL THESE GRINDERS/DOGS?
203
    Get fast/good. Or die.
204
205
TEACH ME YOUR SECRETS TO BE FAST THEN...
206
    Macros are seen to be both good and bad, depending on the person
207
    you're asking it to. DE says it's alright, but they say a lot of things.
208
    But if you're good enough, you don't need crutches to go fast.
209
210
WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE IN THIS ONE MISSION?
211
    Someone just used up a Tenno Specter. They are AI controlled Warframes
212
    that mimics the equipment of the person who used it, depending on the
213
    choice of Frame used. Yes, they're a one-time use and a bitch to farm
214
    and craft. That's your choice if you think it's useful.
215
216
WHAT ARE THOSE RED ICONS BELOW MY FRAME'S STATUS?
217
    Those are the 3 main damage dealers in the game: Impact, Puncture & Slash.
218
    If you see them on your HUD, you're currently under their effects.
219
    Puncture lowers your armor value, Slash bleeds you, and Impact is impact.
220
 
221
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY SCREEN AND WHERE THE FUCK DID MY ENERGY GO?
222
    You just got hit by a Disruptor. They're the big tentacle Infested.
223
    When they hit you, they drain all your Energy.
224
    There are also new laser doors that do the same thing, so be careful.
225
    While your screen is still fucked, do not pick up Energy balls from
226
    the floor, you'll use them up and you'll get no Energy.
227
 
228
WHY IS EVERYTHING GREEN AND WHERE THE FUCK DID MY HEALTH GO?
229
    You just got hugged by a Toxic Infested. Poison damage goes through
230
    shields, stay away from them. Rhino's Iron Skin gives you protection
231
    from them, if you didn't know.
232
 
233
WHY THE FUCK ARE MY SHIELDS KEEP ON DEPLETING?
234
    If you're playing against Corpus, you're getting leached. There
235
    are green Ospreys that shoot leeches at you. To shake them off,
236
    roll or do a melee attack.
237
    There are also new Corpus machinery that would drain your shields,
238
    like a static grenade on the ground emitting an AoE halo.
239
 
240
OH WHAT THE FUCK. I CAN'T TELEPORT, BUT I DID! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
241
    Grineer Commanders can switch teleport with you.
242
    If not, then it's just your friendly neighborhood Loki.
243
 
244
I'M SHOOTING THEM IN THE HEAD BUT IT DON'T DO SHIT.
245
    Infested and Corpus have different weakpoints. Infested have various
246
    spots for weaknesses & Walkers have balls weakness.
247
    Or just read about Damage 2.0 if they don't do anything.
248
249
WHY THE FUCK IS THAT ENEMY GLOWING ORANGE?
250
    Certain enemies have special abilities that would more or less
251
    fuck you over. It could be anything from slow auras to buff nullification.
252
 
253
MAN, FUCK THESE LASER BEAMS! WHY CAN'T I JUST WALK THROUGH THEM?
254
    Shoot cameras or copter through them. As long as there's a camera
255
    pointing at someone in the map, the laser beams will be up. Make sure
256
    you always shoot cameras in the room you're in so that your teammates
257
    aren't left behind trying to get through. There's a Mod for that
258
    shit now too just in case you're that bad.
259
    And don't pass through the orange laser doors if you need your Energy.
260
 
261
THIS WEAPON IS SHIT, EVERYONE SAID IT WAS AWESOME. FUCK THIS!
262
    Stop evaluating weapons right after you buy them. Of course your
263
    brand new level 1 weapon won't do much against those level 50
264
    Grineer that are probing your anus. Patience. Potato, Multishot,
265
    Damage+ on your weapon goes a long way. And now there's Forma!
266
    Turn any shitty weapon you love into a death delivery service!
267
268
 
269
6. OROKIN
270
--------------
271
272
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE VOID?
273
    They're only accessible through the use of Void keys.
274
    Each key can be acquired from any mission that isn't Assassinate.
275
    The keys range from each mission type, and functions as consumables.
276
277
THERE'S AN INFESTED VERSION OF THIS?
278
    Orokin Derelicts are run-down ships by the Infested, and home for a boss.
279
    They also have special vaults that could only be opened by Dragon Keys,
280
    which acts as inventory items with debuffs.
281
    And here's an in-depth view on those vaults:
282
    https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/498454-guide
283
 
284
WHAT DO I GET FROM THIS SHIT?
285
    Various kinds of special rewards. Frost Prime blueprint parts,
286
    Prime weapon parts, Forma, Void-only materials, etc.
287
    You also get the Corrupted Mods in the Derelict versions.
288
 
289
I STEPPED ON SOMETHING AND IT CLICKED. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED.
290
    The areas are filled with traps and treasure. Make sure you look
291
    around whenever you're doing these secret missions.
292
 
293
THIS IS TIERED?
294-
    Yes, you currently have 3 tiers. T2 and T3 are what people look
294+
    Yes, you currently have 4 tiers. T2 T3 and T4 are what people look
295
    for when farming items. T1 is pretty worthless, feel free to
296
    have fun in those.
297
298
WHAT THE FUCK! ARE THESE JUST RESKINS?
299
    Yes, but in addition, Prime weapons have extra Polarity slots
300
    or better stats. But if you're talking about the enemies, then
301
    the answer is still yes.
302
303
ARE THE VAULTS FUCKING NECESSARY TO BEGIN WITH?
304
    If you want to min-max some Frame abilities to their maximum,
305
    then yes. Just be wary that Corrupted Mods can also render
306
    a build useless if used wrong, and that you'll end up with
307
    negative output.
308
309
THE KEYS ARE A PAIN TO BRING. ARE THERE ANY ALTERNATIVES?
310
    Pro-tip: Bring a Loki. If it still works, that is.
311
312
313
7. SYNDICATES
314
----------------
315
316
WHAT NEW THING IS THIS NOW? I THOUGHT WE'RE OUT OF BETA!
317
    They act like factions that you can join with exclusive missions.
318
    Each one has separate rewards and offerings needed, so choose wisely.
319
    You can join one as soon as you reach Mastery Rank 3.
320
    And no, this game will never leave Alpha/Beta/Whatever stage.
321
322
WHAT'S THE HIGHEST RANK I CAN ACHIEVE?
323
    There are 8 ranks, Rank 5 being the highest.
324
    It goes from -2 to 5. Yes, that's a negative.
325
326
WHY THE FUCK AM I NOT GETTING STANDING POINTS?
327
    You need to wear your Syndicate's Sigil to earn any.
328
329
I JUST GOT SOME SHINY EXIMUS SHIT WHEN I RANKED UP!
330
    They're like the Tenno Specters that were previously introduced.
331
    Only this time, each rank you gain will allow you to summon
332
    a different enemy type to aid you in missions.
333
    Also, you have to cough up your Standing points to do so.
334
335
WHICH ONE IS THE BEST SYNDICATE?
336
    What's the best covenant in Dark Souls? You tell me.
337
    Each faction has their own enemy. Keep that in mind.
338
339
WHAT ARE THESE "ENEMIES" THEN?
340
    They send random AI assassins to kill you.
341
    Just think of it as another random event like Stalker.
342
343
 
344
8. OTHERS
345
-------
346
347
THERE'S A PVP GAME MODE NOW? THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?
348
    Nothing. Conclave is exactly what it is: Forced PvP in
349
    game centered around PvE. So expect imbalances.
350
    If anything, they already remade and "fixed" this
351
    several times by now.
352
353
HOLY SHIT! I GOT THIS ALIEN DOG THING IN MY SHIP!
354
    Kubrows are like the 10o's best friends, it seems.
355

358
I CAN MEET OTHER TENNO AND ERP WITH THEM IN HUBS NOW?
359
    Yes, you can. There's also a creepy salesman that comes
360
    every now and then that would sell you rare equipment in
361
    those Relay hubs.
362
363
ARE THESE SOLAR RAILS ANOTHER GRIND AGAIN?
364
    It's the Dark Sectors of the game's universe, and the supposed
365
    end-game that's promised. You'll need to research the room in the
366
    Dojo if you ever do want to participate. It's basically a way to
367
    control planet nodes, which gives benefits to your clan and alliances.

371
372
WHY THE FUCK DON'T I GET ANYTHING FROM THE SOLAR RAILS?
373
    Players will receive bonus Credits and EXP from these missions,
374
    depending on the owner's tax percentage. The bonus is not active
375
    when the Solar Rail is at war with another one, which you'll have
376
    to choose the side to help.

9. MISCELLANEOUS
380
----------------
381
382
I DISCOVERED AN AWESOME BUG! SHOULD I TELL THE FORUMS ABOUT IT?
383
    If it's new, then they probably don't know about
384
    it yet. Just have fun with it and share it with
385
    your fellow friends.
386
387
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BUGS?
388
    DE can't fix their sleek coding for shit.
389
    So you just have to accept it or quit the game.
390
 
391
WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT UP THIS TORTURE DEVICE CALLED A CLANLIST?
392
    You can use the 'W' and 'S' keys to scroll through your friends
393
    or clan list.

GOD DAMN EMBER IS SO HOT I'M ABOUT TO BUST A NUT OVER HER TOMBOY ASS.
396
    Ember used to be a dude, that's why she looks like a tomboy.
397
398
I HAVE THE STRANGEST FEELING THAT THERE'S A STORY ABOUT ASH.
399
    And you are correct. Ash used to be the female one this time.
400
    Such a shame he got used to cater to edgy teenagers.
401
 
402
WHICH FRAME HAS THE BEST ASS?
403
    The one that suits your sick fetishes the most. Into sweaty
404
    muscle girls? Nyx. Looking for something a little more mature
405
    and gassy? Saryn. Etc.
406
407
I WANT TO COMMISSION SOME GOOD LEWDS FROM ARTISTS OUT THERE.
408
    Datareaper's your main guy (Which is more or less a miracle that
