Railjack turret comparison | Warframe

with the release of corpus rail jack we now have nine turret types to choose from in warframe with each of these having three variants not counting the basic versions that's 27 different options for your ship so what are the best options i'm the engineer let's solve a practical problem [Music] i'm going to go over the weapon options in terms of usability and damage output to give you the very best options for what you can use and of course where to farm those ideal turrets i won't be diving into considerations around damage type as in my experience they basically don't matter the same is true for status there's no condition overload or reliance on slash blocks in space so what can deal the damage and actually apply it is pretty much the entire deal so starting with ease of use then the top of the board is the photo the pulsar and the talon these are all hit scan lasers meaning you never have to worry about leading your target you just point and shoot however to make up for this they give up damage being the three lowest dps turrets regardless of your setup in the middle we have the long range projectile weapons that's the apoc the carcinox glazio and vort all of them have good range but leading the shots means you will miss more easily especially when the target changes velocity at the bottom end for usability we have the cryofon and lathe these both have short range projectiles which is especially bad for side gunners who cannot simply reposition to make use of their limited reach as a special note the photo also comes with innate punch through which can help in shooting objectives that are obscured to all other weapons however the variety of battle mods that exist mostly remove the need for such a niche at this point the one remaining benefit is against corpus cruise ships that sport a rotating shield drone as the photo can shoot the drone straight through this shield now as for damage this is modified by the house variant for each weapon vidar gives higher base damage and often higher crit stats levan gives higher fire rate except for the photo where it matches the vaidar and usually drops its crit stats for the frankly user status effects rosette key also has higher fire rate identical to the van but also has higher base damage to the van usually less than vaydar with either greatly enhanced status or greatly enhanced grits the downside to zetki is it also comes with much higher heat gain with the actual increase varying between weapon types the result of all of this then is that zetki is almost always a superior choice despite the higher heat gain players with rank 8 or less gunnery can simply hold fire just before overheating soon enough you'll return back to cold and then you can resume firing this is more efficient than dealing with the overheat even on vidar weaponry once you get to rank 9 gunnery however you unlock the ability to reset overheat back to cold in half a second by reloading meaning it's more beneficial to overheat and reload than it is to try and avoid overheating putting zetki squarely at the top looking between the weapons i've already mentioned that lasers suffer in damage output accounting for heat gain and reloading for a rank 9 gunner the photo has less than half the dps of the best damage turret option with the pulsar and talon both around 60 using the general purpose plexus or about 54 with the gunner main build the highest damage output instead comes from the lathe but this is held back by its short range it sounds great to fire though instead the next best damage is from the vort with both the general purpose and gunner main builds the vort stands out with the highest damage of the longer range projectile weapons whilst retaining their usability putting all of this together then the best weapon to go for is the zetkivort if you want to absolutely max out the damage you can go for the zetki lathe but do not put this on the side guns the best hitscan laser is the zetsky talon an honorable mention to the zetki photo simply for that innate punch through all this really is a long fancy way of saying that the new weapons have basically outdone the old ones that's power creep for you the good news is that everything is close enough that sticking to the old weapons will not do you too much harm a max bonus mark 3 zet key will work on all setups except putting lethal cryofun on the side guns don't do that that's just me so when it comes to farming these best weapons you can pick up the zetki photo by killing elite grineer units found in vail proxima missions where the sentients are attacking as for the zetkivort zetketalin and zetki laith these can all be obtained by farming fighters on pluto proxima the mission type itself doesn't matter so you can just pick your favorite the way to farm them is to continuously kill the fighters after you have cleared the priority targets but before you board the corporate ship for the main mission and with that you now have the best turrets the money can't buy in fact if you found this video helpful make sure to give it a like and if you want to see more make sure to subscribe as well and as always scrap wreckage mount turrets and fight well today
