The vast majority of my builds are designed to help others, but are also designed for me as reference points to know how I want to build my weapons. And I'm aware that the simulacrum exists, but unlike most of you that will give me shit in the comments, I have a life outside of this game. So this is what. I use when I'm not playing. I'M FULLY AWARE THERE ARE BETTER BUILDS FOR THINGS LIKE STEEL PATH, LEAVE IT ALONE!

Gauss Prime is a frame that's kind of hard to build for, not as hard to build as Xaku and their whole kit, but hard nonetheless. The only reason I would run him for strength instead of efficiency, which would be for the sake of open worlds and mach Rush. If you run Coaction Drift with Sprint Boost, the strength of mach Rush increases by 15% , which would make Gauss's sprint speed increase by 17.25%. That combined with an effectiveness increase it should make Gauss's kick off faster when using mach Rush.

One thing to keep in mind is that the strength of Gauss's speed operates in bursts, so maxing out his strength for sprint speed isn't really that needed since its effected by speed mods, not power strength. That's [Volt]'s whole gimmick is that his speed grows over time.

Most people use arcane energize on [Gauss] for energy compensation, but with [Archon Flow], enemies killed by a cold status effect have a ten percent chance to drop an energy orb. With the gimmick of [Archon Vitality] you can do some serious deeps. The heat status effect from abilities damage will be applied twice. That with thermal sunder from holding the ability key will DOUBLE the heat damage.

After tapping and holding the ability keys for both variants of thermal sunder to make blast almost guarantees the damage output and energy drop chance. So running either of these archon mods on frames like [Ember] and [Frost] is a must over some other mods.

In terms of Archon shards I put in two crimson shards, one for strength and one tau forged for melee crit damage. Two amber shards, one for casting speed and one for energy orb effectiveness, and one tau forged azure shard for armor.

This is an augur synergy build for [Gauss] and the Akarius Prime his signature secondary. I realize that it is kinda stupid to run augur mods on both because of redline, but I like keeping my shields up.

Keep in mind that this is how I build MY weapon's an warframe's, they work really well for me, so if you are one of those people that is going to to go into the comments and give me shit is to how I play the game, I will kindly ask you to put a tooth pick under your toenail and kick a wall. JOKINGLY OF COURSE.

If you do decide to follow my builds don't get butthurt if your numbers aren't the same, all the riven's are the ones that "I have rolled" so don't psyche yourself out if you don't get a riven that is a good as the ones in my builds.

Be sure to take a look at my other builds. I also recommend looking at the vault status of all prime variants in the second link below. If you want information on the quests and the requirements, I recommend looking on the actual Warframe website under the game dropbox to look at the warframe profile videos as well as looking at the quest guide and the faction types.
