IMPORTANT NOTE

IMPORTANT NOTE
Warframe as a game is always changing and evolving. Two major examples that I have personally played through are the U22.12 weapon overhaul, and the U27.2 Warframe Revised update. Unfortunately for a sporadic content creator like myself, this means that my content is made redundant over time, and I don't have the time to update everything. As such, please take note of the version at the time of each review's latest update.

Event: Warframe's 6th Anniversary Part 2


Warframe's standard Anniversary event has begun, consisting of a number of special Alerts.

This year's new items are the Dex Liset skin and Dex Excalibur Noggle, both awarded simply upon logging in during the Anniversary period (27th March to 10th April). All of the previous Dex items are available from the special Alerts, awarding the Dex Sybaris, Furis, Dakra, Syandana and Excalibur skin. Notably, all of these weapons include a free Weapon Slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst, and can be used regardless of your MR. As such, they are fantastic both for newer players, who could do with good weapons, and veteran players, who could do with free weapon slots.

Notably, the last Alert for the Dex Excalibur skin features Nightwatch Grineer, who have only been seen previously in an old Event. If you are one for Codex completion, make sure to bring your Helios.

The Dex Sybaris is a Burst-Fire rifle, released for Warframe's third anniversary. It has excellent crit with decently high base Damage, dealing very high damage-per-burst, though is lacking in Status Chance. Hunter Munitions works very well on the Dex Sybaris, giving it reliable Slash proccing ability. I personally consider the Sybaris Prime to be overall superior, primarily due to its much higher Status Chance, but the Dex Sybaris is by no means a weak weapon. And for a free weapon, it is very, very good.

The Dex Furis is a Full-Auto dual secondary, released for Warframe's first anniversary. It has usable crit and great Status Chance, which combines very well with its high RoF. It also has a pretty high capacity and a fair amount of spare ammo, but eats through ammo extremely quickly. Overall the Dex Furis is a decent status secondary that is crit viable, and is very good for a free weapon.

The Dex Dakra is a Dual Sword melee, and is one of the few that is actually a pair of the same swords. It was released for Warframe's second anniversary. With decent Slash damage and Status Chance, the Dex Dakra is a decent status Dual Sword, though is unexceptional in a class with many good weapons. But again, free is free.

The Dex Nouchali Syandana and Excalibur Dex skin are cosmetics, released for the fourth and fifth anniversaries respectively.
