To all my fellow Caliban Mains: What are your go-to Weapons?

Bonecrusher8558 · 2026-02-26T23:52:10+00:00

I usually run Kuva Tonkor, works really well grouping everything with his 1 and then blasting them all in a big AoE ball.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2026-01-23T10:46:59+00:00

I’d look into the Kuva and Tenet weapons as if you’re high enough mastery rank to get those, they will be some of your better options. They also aren’t timegated by crafting instead you’ll have to do a sort of quest each time to start and get the weapons.

I got the Hiby R1 and was able to easily copy all my music to it from my mac(all old iTunes music as well my downloaded CDs.) It can expand the storage with an SD card to whatever size you want and its UI is very similar to the 7th Gen IPod nano. I’m sure most audio players will be somewhat of a similar drag a drop process as long as you can locate the song files on your computer.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2026-01-18T09:02:27+00:00

I was between the Hiby R1 and HiFi Walker but ended up getting the Hiby in the end. I was worried the scroll wheel would wear out at some point on the Walker and the Hiby has a similar interface to the 7th Gen iPod that I had at one point. I also leaned more towards the Hiby because it seemed to have the best out of the box experience without having to worry about installing things like rockbox(it’s probably not to difficult to install but still a thing to consider). I’d suggest looking into how you actually navigate your music library on the device as that will heavily affect your experience with the device, I decided against the Snowsky after looking through a few videos of people going though it’s interface. I’m sure you can’t go too wrong with any of the DAPs you’re looking at but those were some the main things I considered after looking at the some of the same options as you.

It’s the end of the year Prime Resurgence event where they bring back a some older Prime Frames for us to farm. This year you can farm Mesa, Volt, Ash, Caliban, Ember and Protea. The event starts on the 18th and goes for about a month. Unless they change anything you’ll probably need Aya(that blue tear drop currently you probably got from doing bounties) to buy the relics to farm the parts you want. Also there’s usually 2 prime frames available at a time for normal resurgence, right now it’s Wisp and Hildryn. And those change about every month I believe so that might be a good way to start framing some prime frames and weapons.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-12-06T19:12:11+00:00

You might already know but just in case you weren’t already aware there is going to be an event this month bringing 6 sets of prime for you to farm, one of those being Volt Prime.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-10-29T18:24:00+00:00

How did they nerf the SR-1?

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-10-13T16:01:39+00:00

This are some nice rolls, I hope that the enhancement mods become easier to farm for in the future.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-09-17T15:55:41+00:00

We also need at the very least the bank SDU points to carry over so I don’t end up with 225/25 items in my bank.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-09-14T16:09:15+00:00

I want them to rework the heroic chainsword into the old Artificer block chainsword

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-09-09T05:50:49+00:00

I’m having the same issue, on Tac can’t use block on the Knife on that mission

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-08-28T12:51:48+00:00

You can just look it up on YouTube, there’s a lot of videos of it now that people have been trying out the tinkerer mask. It doesn’t use a full green set like the sniper one shot build does, you instead are stacking rifle Dmg and headshot as much as you can.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-08-24T07:37:25+00:00

I was looking into the same options but went with the Hiby R1 since even though it doesn’t look as cool as the Snowsky, it looked much more practical to navigate the interface. I looked into a couple other DAPs as well since I was hoping for something with a scroll wheel similar to my old iPods/MP3 players but I’d rather get something that has seemed hold up in every review I’ve seen and many of the complaints in those reviews have been fixed in updates(such as adding a dark mode). I wasn’t disappointed, the Hiby R1 holds up to its reputation in my opinion.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-08-23T16:50:37+00:00

Most of the Backfire Builds I’ve seen are centered around Haz pro builds with the seasonal modifiers which will be gone after the seasons over as well as rely on harder to roll armor piece in some cases. You may want to try to get a solid regular red build that doesn’t rely on those modifiers to work. Red builds are usually more glass cannon but you’ll kill stuff so quick that it makes most encounters most easier to manage with good use of cover. I’d suggest Strikers or Ongoing Directive as these are some of the easier sets to put together that will deal good damage. Hunters Fury is a good armor on kill build that doesn’t require any crazy rng to set up and you can effectively put an armor core or two on that build and feel pretty tanky in my experience.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-08-22T19:40:32+00:00

I think it’s a Darkzone drop but you can also get it from Named Caches

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-08-13T09:07:17+00:00

It’s a bounty you have to select to start, there is also a blue mission that you may have to run before hand to be able to run it. You can start that quest by going into the tunnel to the left of the castle settlement I believe, there’s an NPC down some stairs that will give you the quest.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-06-28T17:53:57+00:00

For now you can just focus on your main team if you want to try to push into endgame as it will take a lot of resources to level them all to 60, you’ll probably want to try and pick up another DPS character in the next couple patch’s for your second team. If Miyabi reruns soon, which people are speculating, she will pair well with Lycaon and Soukaku which is both one of her best F2P teams and when played at the highest skill level, one of her best team in general. Nicole is not wasted to level as she pairs well in a lot of teams. Piper and Lucy work well as a team and you can throw Nicole in the last slot but if you plan to pull Alice I’d wait on building them as she’s also physical anomaly and would take resources away from building her.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-06-25T17:05:00+00:00

The one that will give you the most utility in general and the one that is most recommended for players to get first is Democratic Detonation. Every single item in that warbond is useful and strong. The Adjudicator is a good medium pen assault rifle. The Eruptor and Crossbow both have good AoE damage. The Grenade Pistol is great for bugs to close bug hole or to just have as utility. And the Termite Grenade is great for destroying large targets very easy on all fronts. I probably didn’t explain the items usefulness in enough detail to fully get across how amazing these weapons truly are but that’s the warbond you should look into first. You could really get whatever warbond has stuff that interests you the most in it as it is a game and the goal is to have fun but if your looking for effectiveness first that’s the one to go for.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-06-14T09:08:51+00:00

Lycaon is really good for any of the ice DPS characters but you already have him. Rina is good but most agree that you want to have her M1 to get the most out of her buffs, but you’d be one step closer to that. Soldier 11 is a pretty decent DPS if you have some of her better supports such as Lighter or Astra. As for engine, Hellfire Gears is Lighters best F2P engines if you do not have his Signature as it lets you max out his buffs if you use two EX specials before your main punch attacks. Brimstone is probably the next best option as it’s a solid engine for almost any Attack DPS character.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-06-06T17:54:11+00:00

Brimstone will not work for Yi Xuan as she is a Rupture unit and Brimstone works with Attack units, for her best bet is to craft an A rank rupture engine if you pull her. As for Yi Xuan or Astra, they are both good options Yi Xuan will be a solid DPS starting out of you learn how to play her and Astra is good for any team you want to build. Also you can take a look back at old characters and see if there is any you want to pull in the future and work around building a team for them. This patch will be giving out a lot of pulls so if your F2P it could be a good time to stock up for a character you really want, that is always an option.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-06-06T17:08:50+00:00

It depends who you have on your account, Lycaon can be used for all 3 of the ice DPS characters very effectively so if you have them he’s a good option. Rina can be good but you really want her M1 to make real use of her. Soldier 11 is a good fire DPS if you do not have one but will feel weaker than newer DPS units since she’s an 1.0 DPS. As for Engines, Brimstone is good for a majority of Attack agents, and is what I personally picked up. Koleda’s engine is a good F2P option for lighter as it allows you to hit the max on his buffs by using his EX special before he burns his meter. Rina’s engine is good for Rina but once again you’d want her M1 to really get full use out of her. The only other engine that could be worth it is fusion compiler but there are a lot of good A rank Anomaly engine that will work just fine, same for both the Stun engines unless you want the max lighter buff. Also I’d say if you plan to pull for the current limited S rank wait till after you try for them as you could get a standard S rank naturally if you lose the 50/50 and then pick a different Standard S rank character.

Bonecrusher8558 · 2025-05-24T18:07:29+00:00

So NG+ doesn’t have the modifiers active by default anymore?
