- Stahlta – Using alt fire, this fully automatic weapon can use an explosive that deals 1 radiation damage. The projectile itself has a distinct critical hit chance and a 200x multiplier with a very short cooldown.
- Acceltra – A mini auto rocket launcher with a high crit chance is a good choice for any Warframe. This weapon deals both Puncture and Impact damage and is a safe bet for almost any situation.
- Trumna – This weapon's alt-fire mode fires grenades that deal high heat damage for each explosion. This is charged by getting five kills in a row. It has a large magazine and low reload time, but can be overlooked due to its destructive abilities.

Sniper
Sniper Rifles vary in power due to how they work, but their unique shot combination can deliver fast and devastating kills. They share the same mods as rifles but use their own ammo type. Snipers aren't really widely used, but there is one sniper that the community agrees is the best.

Only

- Kuva Tonkor – 30% crit chance on a Grenade Launcher already makes this launcher better than the majority of others. The weapon has good stats all around and deals explosion damage to make it versatile in mods to use when building it.
Weapons in Warframe can be customized in several ways. While these weapons are best when built in a specific way, players may have a different idea of ​​which weapons they prefer. A Dread might not be what someone is looking for if they prefer fast fire and powerful weapons. Using what works before opting for specific weapons is a good way to learn the game and its mechanics.
