Hi I’m a relatively new player and currently MR5 and am still working my way through the star chart(At Saturn atm). I started with Mag and am currently using the Boltor.

I’ve been watching guides on YouTube and so have a basic understanding of how to achieve my build. However it seems a lot of the mods I require are out of my reach or require forma/potatoes.

When should I start following builds? Am I still too early?

I don’t have any forma blueprints nor any potatoes. Should I be grinding for them specifically now or only when I’ve gotten further?

Currently my Boltor has the following mods Serration rank 6, Infected Clip and Hellfire. I’ve seen that multi shot is important and the rifle multi shot mod can be dropped on spy missions at 5% chance. Is it worth grinding spy missions for it?

Any other advice would help too. Thank you!

    At MR 5 it doesn’t matter much, but also it doesn’t hurt to go looking at the general build and using the closest mods you have

    At MR 18, usually when I still get a new frame or weapon, I play it for a few hours before going to Overframe and building it accordingly. The difference after with just changing a few key mods can be massive.

    You don’t really have to sweat min maxing everything unless you’re having trouble with something. Usually the answer is just to use a different kind of frame/weapons.

      going to Overframe and building it accordingly.

      Imagine seeing a primary build thats different than Damage/Multi/Crit/Critdamage/6060/6060 to make viral/huntermunitions and flex slots/galv mods

      Or for melee Condition overload/combo rush/weeping wounds/attack speed/cirt/crit damage/flex mods

      Of course weapon dependent but this is like 90% of everything
