The best Reconifex build in Warframe

Warframe: 1999 added tons of new stuff to the game, including Cyte-09’s signature gun, the Reconifex. Cyte-09 may be a stealthy sniper-focused frame, but his signature gun is an assault rifle.

Make sure to check out how to unlock Cyte-09, what new arcanes were added, and how to best take advantage of the Nyx rework, but read on to see how you can turn the Reconifex into a monster.

How to build the Reconifex in Warframe

The good news is that the Reconifex isn’t a particularly difficult weapon to build, and it won’t require an uber-expensive Riven mod to work well, either. So, what we have here is a fairly straightforward gun. Although, that doesn’t mean you can get creative or take it to the next level with a Riven.

The basic idea here is to stack up a variety of different elements to scale Galvanized Aptitude off of and do some seriously intense damage. This is a great weapon, particularly for Cyte-09, because of its massive magazine size, which is 200 rounds large and even bigger with mods.

Cyte-09’s Resupply ability reloads your weapon with rounds that do elemental damage of your choosing, so a high-mag-capacity weapon means you won’t have to be recasting Resupply nonstop. On its own, though, the Reconifex sports heat rounds if you can time a perfect reload.

Keep in mind that you can’t actually take advantage of the weapon’s innate heat rounds when using Cyte-09’s Resupply ability, as the Resupply rounds will override the weapon’s heat rounds. Nonetheless, its magazine capacity is certainly a great fit for Cyte-09.

The best mods for the Reconifex in Warframe

We’re trying to build as many different elements as we can onto the Reconifex for Galvanized Aptitude while boosting our critical potential with Critical Delay and Vital Sense, which are also important for maximizing DPS. Lastly, Vile Acceleration and Galvanized Chamber make sure we’re firing as quickly as possible, hitting for as many shots as possible, and rounding out the build.

Arcane: Primary Merciless

Exilus: Vigilante Supplies

Mods:

• Critical Delay
• Vital Sense
• Primed Cryo Rounds (or Cryo Rounds)
• Malignant Force
• Magnetic Capacity
• Vile Acceleration
• Galvanized Aptitude
• Galvanized Chamber

Magnetic Capacity is a new mod added with the 1999 update. You can opt for a different element, but if you’re playing with Cyte-09, magnetic damage is a great type of elemental damage to have alongside corrosive and viral to quickly annihilate shields. Plus, it expands your mag capacity.

Primary Merciless is a good choice, but a new arcane, Primary Crux, could be worth trying out when playing with Cyte-09. Primary Crux adds 30% status chance and 6% ammo efficiency for 10 seconds on weak point hit, stacking up to 10x. This will make Resupply rounds last longer.
