Warframe has a ton of endgame bosses, whether it's Liches, Archons, Star Chart bosses, or Demolishers. As you reach Steel Path mode, boss damage attenuation will make your fights last way longer without the right DPS setup. However, with these weapons, you can easily solo every boss in the game without needing to build or bring a DPS frame. Here are the top 10 weapons you should get that can kill every Warframe boss in seconds.
#1 Burston Prime Incarnon
The Incarnon mode for the Burston has some of the highest DPS values in the game, with its increased fire rate, innate Heat damage, and bonus crit chance from its final Incarnon Evolution. When paired with the Primary Acuity mod for bonus headshot damage and the Primary Deadhead Arcane, you can output consistent red crit damage for hitting weak points.
#2 Stahlta
While the Stahlta alone is a decent weapon, what sets this weapon apart is its interaction with the Galvanized Aptitude mod. When applied, the mod has a multiplicative effect based on the number of status effects on a target, making it one of the most powerful weapons for status builds. When paired with a status primer like the Kompressa, Kuva Nukor or Epitaph, the Stahlta can nuke certain bosses once they’re completely debuffed.
#3: Felarx/Laetum
The Felarx has a powerful Evolution build of Racking Wrath and Devastating Attrition, where non-critical hits have a 50% chance to deal 2000% damage. Using the basic or Prime elemental damage mods, along with Primary/Secondary Deadhead, bumping up its base damage will allow you to delete massive chunks of boss HP while ignoring damage attenuation. This also means you can’t build crit chance as the damage modifier only takes effect on non-critical hits.
#4 Perigale Prime
Snipers in general are the go-to weapon types for single-target DPS, but the Perigale Prime has the unique effect of firing a 4-round burst with each shot dealing incredible weakpoint damage. It also has the effect of gaining 100% ammo efficiency when landing all 4 shots with headshots, giving it infinite ammo if you’re accurate. With Primary Acuity and Deadhead, larger bosses like the Hunhullus will be a cakewalk.
#5 Kuva Nukor
Since status priming is the meta for boss damage, the Kuva Nukor stands out as one of the best secondary weapons for inflicting as many status effects as possible. Not only does the weapon gain a new weapon element from its Lich’s progenitor Warframe, but it also inflicts the hidden Microwave status effects that count towards Condition Overload. With this weapon, you can inflict 3 status effects at base already.
#6 Kompressa Prime
Another one of the best priming weapons in the game, the Kompressa Prime is best known for its guaranteed Virus status procs. Since the Virus effect causes targets to take extra damage, you can build this weapon with Corrosive or Magnetic to strip armor or shields and allow your primaries to deal their full damage.
#7 Dual Toxocyst Incarnon
The Dual Toxocyst Incarnon rewards the steady hand that can land consistent headshots. At base, the weapon gains increased fire rate and infinite ammo, making it an effective crit machine. However, the Incarnon mode with Carnage Reign and Pistol Acuity turns the weapon into a pseudo assault rifle.
#8 Cedo Prime
If you prefer using a secondary or melee weapon as your boss DPS tool, the Cedo Prime is a great alternative for a status primer. Its innate Slash, Blast, and random element on firing makes it an easy, effective utility weapon for setting up some exponential damage numbers.
#9 Redeemer Prime
While a melee weapon, this weapon has ranged attacks that use melee damage calculations that can make this weapon extremely powerful. Using heavy attack multipliers and Kullervo, the Redeemer Prime can output red crits on demand with Kullervo’s first ability and maintain the x12 combo multiplier with Tennokai. You can also pair this with the Evensong bow to give the Redeemer multishot, despite being a melee weapon. With the right se-up, you can deal millions of damage with the exponential scaling this weapon can get.
#10 Coda Bassocyst
For passive priming, the Coda Bassocyst is by far one of the best status weapons in the game. Its alt fire shoots out mites that attach themselves to enemies, causing damage over time. While attached, they will constantly apply all the status effects modded on the Coda Bassocyst, turning it into a powerful utility weapon.
