Hi I’m a relatively new player and currently MR5 and am still working my way through the star chart(At Saturn atm). I started with Mag and am currently using the Boltor.

I’ve been watching guides on YouTube and so have a basic understanding of how to achieve my build. However it seems a lot of the mods I require are out of my reach or require forma/potatoes.

When should I start following builds? Am I still too early?

I don’t have any forma blueprints nor any potatoes. Should I be grinding for them specifically now or only when I’ve gotten further?

Currently my Boltor has the following mods Serration rank 6, Infected Clip and Hellfire. I’ve seen that multi shot is important and the rifle multi shot mod can be dropped on spy missions at 5% chance. Is it worth grinding spy missions for it?

Any other advice would help too. Thank you!

So, first, you perhaps have ONE weapon that is worth keeping long term or investing in, that is “following a build” for:

Dread

That’s it. That’s the only weapon I’ve still got that I had at MR5. There are a few others, especially now that there’s the end game option to revitalize some early weapons like Dual Toxocyst, Braton, etc, but really, just Dread.

When it comes to forma bps, I can’t recommend enough that you NOT level up in the “efficient” spots of Helene/Hydron unless they are fissures. (Which they are, relatively often.)

Instead, level up in Lith and Meso and even Neo Defense fissures. Why? After 5 waves, 25% affinity bonus. After every 5 waves, you get a choice of a prime part or forma blueprint. You earn void traces. At wave 20, you get the “C rotation” reward, which is regularly a rare mod like Continuity, Streamline, Intensify, or Hell’s Chamber. I bet you don’t have all those yet. And then there are the 25% bonuses for everything else that come with every other 5 rounds.

If you make a habit of leveling up in fissures, you’ll never be out of ducats when Baro comes by—sometimes with some of those powerful mods you don’t have yet. And you won’t be bored out of your mind by looking at those same four walls of Hydron/Helene again!

level up in Lith and Meso and even Neo Defense fissures.

IMO survival>defense sure defense likely will be more affinity due to everyone locked in one spot, but survival is 5min between rolls rather than an arbitrary amount that feels closer to 8min.

I still use the atomos which I got early on a recommendation.

(That being said, I don't have the Kuva Nukor. Mom said we have Kuva Nukor at home)

Atomos is pretty good, and depending on your preferences, yes, you might want to keep it long term.
