The best Vesper 77 build in Warframe

More than a few new guns were added in Warframe: 1999, including the Vesper 77. This silenced pistol certainly looks like a good fit for a game about space ninjas, but how should you build it?

If you’re hungry for new weapons, make sure to check out the Reconifex and Cyte-09’s Neutralizer, as well as all the new mods in the game. But if you’re ready to build a pistol, keep reading.

How to build the Vesper 77 in Warframe

The unique trait on the Vesper 77 is increased critical chance when aiming and weak point highlighting. However, the weak point build for this gun isn’t nearly as versatile as a more standard Galvanized Shot setup, so that’s what we’ve gone with to make this accessible to any frame.

Of course, you’ll get to use the increased critical chance, and you can shoot at highlighted weak points to your heart’s content. The premise of this build is to build viral and heat to multiply the damage you deal and scale off of Galvanized Shot while pumping up critical damage.

Our arcane, Cascadia Flare, scales nicely with the infliction of the heat status, which won’t be hard to do thanks to a healthy dose of multishot and a solid increase in fire rate. Altogether, you can take down level 200 enemies in just a few shots, no matter what frame you’ve got.

Simply shoot at your enemies to start inflicting statuses and getting heat procs, and once the first few guys are defeated, your damage will quickly skyrocket, allowing you to easily take down groups. You will have to reload regularly, though, since your magazine only has eight rounds.

Arcane: Cascadia Flare

Exilus: Steady Hands

Mods:

• Pistol Pestilence
• Frostbite
• Primed Heated Charge
• Primed Pistol Gambit
• Primed Target Cracked
• Lethal Torrent
• Galvanized Diffusion
• Galvanized Shot

You can opt for corrosive instead of viral if you’d like. The important thing here is just to make sure you don’t dwarf your heat damage with other types of damage, as inflicting the heat status is essential to scaling your overall damage with the Cascadia Flare arcane this build uses.

If you’d like to play around with a weak point build, you can remove the multishot mods here in favor of Pistol Acuity for a massive increase to weak point damage, while Frostbite and Pistol Pestilence can be replaced with Galvanized Crosshairs and Primed Convulsion.

You won’t need Primed Pistol Gambit with Galvanized Crosshairs, so with the spaces left, you can slot in your favorite base damage mods. Lastly, a weak point build will want to run the Secondary Deadhead arcane to truly maximize headshot damage. Just make sure to hit your shots.
