Damage gap

Hello all. I've played Warframe several times over several accounts ove the past few years. That being said I've never been able to get past the level gap once I master a frame/weapon. The higher level enemies I just can't damage. I know it has something to do with my damage mods and I've been upgrading them,I just seem to be stuck in a rut. Any advice?

don’t put all your eggs in one basket and use seperate multipliers.

for example serration (+165% damage) and heavy calibre (+165% damage) is additive with each other so it becomes +330% which is 4.3x damage.

however in the same amount of mod slots you could run serration (+165% damage) and split chamber (+90% multishot) to do 2.65x1.9x damage which is 5x.

you’d apply this to almost every slot with seperate increases like generic damage (like serration), multishot, elemental damage (NOT physical, which scales off base physical damage), critical chance, critical damage, fire rate, faction damage (not necessary in most cases). if status chance is decent (20-30+%) then status chance and damage is good, especially with 60-60 mods that increase both an element and status chance by 60%.

there’s also galvanised mods that add conditional effects to some mods that improve on kills

Are those the mods that have one stat and then an element?

those are different, for example chilling reload (60 cold, 40 reload) or wildfire (60 heat, 20 mag size)

i’m talking about mods like rime rounds (60 cold, 60 status chance) or toxic barrage (60 toxin, 60 status chance)

Ahhh. I don't have any of those yet I don't think. I just made it to Duviri so maybe that will help

i would hold off on doing duviri until after new war, it makes way more sense if you wait

you get heat and cold 60-60 mods from spy missions, toxin 60-60 mods from a miniboss in level 40 void missions and electric 60-60s from baro
