The Tigris has a great damage burst with its two-shot-barrel and will help you deal with high health pool units. If you can’t use (or get your hands on) the Tigris Prime or the Sancti Tigris, starting out with the normal version of the Tigris is a great way to increase your damage potential against higher level enemies or even during boss fights. We also try to cut down our list to weapons that will be strong even if you don’t own all the mods or if you simply lack enough Endo to max those mods out. With currently over 130 different primary weapons in the game, we try to focus our Top 5 choices on weapons that will not only increase your damage output, but also might help with survivability. While there is nothing wrong with using the melee style, primary weapons offer a wide variety of different bonuses that often get overlooked by newer players. Weapons in Warframe are often times a little bit tricky, especially for beginner: Without having the perfect mods, it often feels way too strong to simply go into melee mode and fight your way through mob groups with just your sword, hammer, whips, or whatever else you might get your hands on.
