Getting Started with Gauss Prime Gear for a Beginner

-

Hey everyone! I just got all the parts for Gauss Prime and he’s currently in the foundry being built. I’m looking to upgrade my gear as I plan to retire the Boltor from Venus and the free Dex Nikana. I’m at Mastery Rank 4 but can easily reach MR5 by leveling up some weapons I’ve received through quests and junctions. I’d prefer to avoid clan-related items since I haven’t built any labs yet, but I’m open to it once I have the materials and time to play. Also, I’m considering getting a companion to assist me! On a side note, I’ve just completed ‘The War Within’ quest and I’m now working on ‘Chains of Harrow’. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Honestly, the Dex Nikana is hard to beat in the early game unless you’re okay with using a glaive. Aim for duration mods like Narrow Minded and Continuity to maximize Gauss’s effectiveness. Don’t worry too much about strength; keeping it at around 100% is fine for now. As for guns, you might want to check out the Hek, Tonkor, or Dread, but the best weapons will come as you progress. Once you get strong enough, you can farm weapons from Kuva Lichs or Sisters without worrying about your mastery rank first!

Where can I actually find a glaive?

For Gauss Prime, your setup options are a bit limited early on. Focus on basic mods like Continuity, Stretch, and Streamline to boost his performance. If you’re doubling his mod capacity, consider adding more duration-related mods later on. You can also equip Redirection or Vitality for survivability until you find better alternatives. duration is definitely a key focus for him overall!
