Assault rifles are some of the most recognizable weapons in any video game. From modern titles to games more focused on science ficti𒐪on, a fully-automatic rifle that is highly♏ versatile is easy to spot and satisfying to use.
Because everything looks so alien in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warframe, it can be hard to spot good primary weapons to use, let alone assault rifles. The good news is plenty of assault rifles exist to fulfill any playstyle. Some are generic weapons that can be used while leveling, while others have alternate fire modes that can annihilate foes. Regardless of your playstyle, assault rifles can fulfill any role you wish. Here are the 15 best assault rifles you can use in Warframe.
Updated October 17th, 2020 by Charles Burgar: Warframe's meta is in an ever-changing state. In 2020 alone, Digital Extremes overhauled status effects, altered enemy armor scaling, and added plenty of new weapons for players to use. Some of these new weapons happen to be assault rifles, which means that this list was due for an update. On top of revising some old entries, here are five additional assault rifles that are sure to impress in Warframe.
15 Quellor
The Quellor is one of Warframe's stran🔜gest weapons. It has a main full-auto mode that focuses on status effects while its alternate beam attack focuses on critical chance and damage.
Instead of foc𓆏using on one mode, players should consider the Quellor a hybrid weapon. Its main fire is phenomenal at applying status effects like Viral or Heat to weaken a target. Once they have a few status ailments, hit them with the alternate fire to watch their health bar phase out of existence. To mitigate its long reload time, use Tactical Reload in the Exilus weapon slot to let this weapon passively reload when it is stowed. As long as players build for fire modes, the Q♍uellor is sure to please.
14 🔴 Supra Vandal
Miniguns are fun to use in any game, but the Supra Vandal takes it to another level thanks to shꦚooting high-status lasers fo♎r each shot.
Instead of firing hitscan projectiles, the Supra Vandal fires bolts that have travel time. To make up for this, the Su💛pra Vandal has a solid 16% critical hit chance and 30% status chance with each shot. It can also use the Entropy B🎐urst Syndicate Mod to give itself +20 flat status chance and the Entropy effect, granting Energy to the wielder after they achieve a set amount of affinity.
To make the most out of the Supra Vandal, build it for both critical and status chance. Viral damage works best here, and Hunter Munitions isn't a bad idea if the player is using Arcane Avenger or Harrow. Just note that this weapon starts to struggle when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:engaging in Steel Path missions. Otherwise, this laser minigun is 🍃a solid hybrid weapon that shouldn't be overlooked.
13 Zenith
Similar to the Quellor, the Zenith is a weapon that demands a hybrid build despite its stats suggesting otherwise. Its main fu🦩ll-auto mode has a great status chance of 34% that compliments the Slash damage bias quite well. However, its alternate fire mode has a lower 8% status chance but makes up for that with a whopping 35% critical chance and 2.5x damage multiplier.
Unlike the Quellor, the Zenith's alternate fire has infinite pu🌃nch through and highlights enemies through walls. This can come in handy in any defense-oriented mission and is especially useful in Railjack. While the main fire is nothing astounding, the Zenith's unique alternate fire makes the ludicrous 100-day login requirement worth the hassle.
12 𒁃 Kuva Quartakk
Fans of the Hammerhead from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Gears of War will feel somewhat at home with the Kuva Quartakk. It cꦚan fire in full-auto or fire a four-round burst in quick succesไsion.
Firing from the hip will spray bullets in a full-auto setting that deals considerable damage to enemies thanks to a 21% critical hit chance and 33% status chance. Since 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kuva Lich weapons 🎃come with an inherent status ailment, this weapon is 🐬incredible when utilizing Viral and Heat or Corrosive and Heat.
What truly makes the Kuva Quartakk worth using is its four-round burst mode while aiming. It gainsܫ increased critical stats at the cost of slightly lower status chance, which isn't an issue since it fires four rounds per shot. Fire rate is crucial to making this mode feel less clunky, however, so prepare to invest some Forma into this gun. Pairing this gun with Wisp or other Warfraඣmes that buff fire rate makes this weapon phenomenal. On its own, though, it will need some Forma before it truly begins to shine.
11 Kuva Karak 𝓰 🦂

Make no mistake, the Kuva Karak is the most generic weapon in Warframe. Its lackཧ of gimmicks or great audio make it꧑ this game's M4A1, but that isn't inherently bad.
A 70-round magazine, 23 base damage that biases Slash, 23% critical hit chance with a 2.1x multiplier, and a 31% status chance is a fan💦tastic set of stats for a full-auto primary. Hybrid builds work exceptionally well here, giving this weapon consistent Viral and Slash procs with every shot. Obtaining a version of the Kuva Karak with Heat will make this weapon much better at dealing with armored targets.
Instead of using Rime Rounds, consider using Primed Cryo Rounds to make up for the gun's rather low base damage. This weapon is the definition of reliability, but don't eꦗxpect the Kuva Karak toꦦ clear Steel Path content on its own.
10 💯 Soma Prജime
Image from
How the mighty have fallen. What was once the uncontested best weapon in all of Warframe is now considered by many to be a mediocre weapon. Arguments can be made that the Soma Prime isn't the best option, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the changes to status and the new Haℱta-Satya Mo💟d gave the Soma Prime new life.
The Soma Prime excels as a rapid-fire critical weapon. With a 30% critical hit chance and 3x multiplier, this weapon was destined to use Hunter Munitions. Its high Slash bias and great fire rate allow this weapon to apply dozens of Slash effects on a target in under a second. When it is paired with the new Hata-Satya mod and some ammo effᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚiciency, the Soma Prime becomes a fꦯantastic weapon for all non-Steel Path content.
9 Prisma𝓰 Grakata 𓃲
The Prisma Grakata doesn't care about accuracy. This is not the weapon to use for long-r💃ange engagements. If players need to clear out a hallway of enemies, however, few things can top this gun.
It fires nearly 22 rounds a second, has a 25% critical chance with a 2.5x multiplier, has a massive 21% status chance, and it can use an augment mod that lets it expend its entire magazine at once which refunds ammo on multiple rapid kills. The Prisma Grakata's ammo efficiency, arguably its largest downside, can also be fixed with the Ener168澳洲幸运5开奖网:gized Munitions Helminth Ability. Few bullet-hosไe primaries are as fun yet equally viable𒁏 as the Prisma Grakata.
8 𓂃 Baza♉ Prime
Few submachine guns exist in Warframe, which automatically sets the Baza Prime apart from the rest. What makes it even more unique, howe𒊎ver, is how it is inherently suppressed.
Warframes like Ivara, who rely on stealth to stay alive, need suppressed weapons or silent 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:weapons like bows to stay concealed from enemies. The Baza Prime can fulfill that role while also dealing a considerable amount o🔯f critical damage. It fires a whopping 16.67 rounds a second, giving weapons like the Soma Prime a run for their money.
7 Kuva Hind
A recent addition to Warframe, the Kuva Hind is a Lich variant of the rather terrible Hind burst rifle. It has been upgraded in n♓early every way, including better critical and status chances alongside higher base damage.
Like the Tiberon Prime, the Kuva Hind can alter its fire mode between semi, burst, and full-auto. Unlike the Tiberon Prime, the Kuva Hind is better at applying status effects. Rapid Slash and Viral procs let this weapon shred through most targets, as one would expect from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a well-built primary. It can even handle Steel Path content if modded properly. That said, burst-rifle fans might enjoy the Tiberon Prime more d💝ue to it🦹s better critical stats.
6 🌼 Sꦐybaris Prime
While it lacks a ful𝓀l-auto function, the Sybaris Prime is a formidable burst-fire rifle that can take down hordes of tough enemies in style.
Not only does it look pretty but it packs a serious punch as well. With a 30% critical chance with 87.9 base damage, the Sybaris Prime hits rather hard if the user Mods it for critical hits. Its damage output is so reliable that this weapon can be comfortably used in Steel Path, pr🎀ovided players can deal with enemy armor with either Corrosive or through Warframe powers.
