Vinquibus is a new type of weapon added to Warframe as part of The Old Peace update, and you can yield massive damage with the correct build.
Vinquibus is the signature weapon for Uriel, who himself is the newest frame in Warframe. Unlike other weapons inside the game, Vinquibus serves two different roles at the same time. Naturally, it requires a fair bit of tweaking to get the best out of its in-game prowess.

Vinquibus characteristics in Warframe
As mentioned earlier, Vinquibus is a hybrid weapon. Once you equip it, the Vinquibus will occupy both the melee and the primary weapon slots. Interestingly, the melee and rifle versions have different mods that allow you to carry two builds simultaneously.
Here are some of the key pointers to keep in mind when using the Vinquibus.
- Headshots grant two stacks of precision buff that increase the melee damage by 250% and stack up to 16 times.
- The regular attacks have high crit chance, crit chance multiplier, and strong total damage.
- Killing an enemy will add four stacks of Vinquibus Ferocity buff. This raises the Ammo Efficiency by 100% and stacks up to 16 times.
- The melee attacks, just like the ranged option, offer high crit chance and high damage.
Hence, the Vinquibus is typically a weapon that does well when you use it as a combo of both primary and melee. The following build will help you make the most of this excellent weapon. While the melee section of the build is yet to be finalized, I have already mentioned the prefered mods and Arcana that you'll want to use in the Primary slots.
Best Vinquibus primary weapon build
The following build will help you make the most of of primary version of the Vinquibus. I have listed all the prefered mods required for this build. To make it optimum, you'll need to use at least five Formas, or use mods that aren't max-ranked.
- Prime Bane is based on the enemies that you're going to face. This isn't entirely required, but doing so will allow you to clear missions/farms quicker. However, you'll need to be aware of the enemies that you're going to face.
- Galvanized Aptitute: When maxed, it applies +80% status chance, and applies +40% Direct Damage per status type on the target for 20 seconds. Stacks can be applied for maximum of two times.
- Primary Acuity: +350% Weak Point Damage and +350% Weak Point Critical Chance work well when the Vinquibus exploits the enemy's weak points.
- Critical Delay: While it will reduce the fire rate, the +200% Critical Chance raises the potential of increasing the damage from every shot of the Vinquibus.
For the Arcane, the best choice is Primary Deadhead. This Arcane causes +120% Damage for 24 seconds and +30% to Headshot Multiplier upon a Headshot kill. The Arcane, at max rank, also reduces the weapon recoil by 50%. It's the perfect choice to enhance the precision-firing offered by the Vinquibus.
Once again, I will be adding the melee loadout as quickly as possible, which will allow you to make the most of the Vinquibus in Warframe.
