Warframe: Best Riot-848 Builds

Warframe's Riot-848: A Deep Dive into Temple's Unique SMG

Temple's signature secondary weapon, the Riot-848, stands out in Warframe's arsenal. This unusual pistol, acquired from the Solstice Square Defense mission, fires explosive projectiles that detonate upon reloading, cycling the projectiles back into the magazine. This unique mechanic grants the Riot-848 effectively infinite ammo, as it doesn't consume ammunition reserves.

This design makes it a formidable weapon for crowd control, and its infinite ammo is a significant advantage. We'll explore how to obtain the Riot-848, detail its reload mechanism, and present a powerful endgame build suitable for Steel Path and even Archimedean missions.

Acquiring the Riot-848

The Riot-848's components are dropped from the Solstice Square Defense mission in Hollvania, accessible after completing the "The Hex" quest. Complete rounds within Solstice Square to obtain the parts.

Alternatively, purchase the components directly from Flare in the Hollvania mall using Beating Heartstrings, a currency earned within Solstice Square. For detailed information on obtaining Beating Heartstrings and drop rates, refer to our dedicated Riot-848 acquisition guide.

The Riot-848 is a rapid-firing SMG that unleashes explosive projectiles. These projectiles initially inflict Puncture damage, but upon reloading, they detonate, dealing substantial Blast damage. This explosion scales with the number of projectiles fired, up to the magazine capacity. Excess projectiles will trigger the oldest projectile's detonation.

Its high critical stats and unique reload mechanic make it effective against lightly armored enemies. Against tougher foes, damage buffs or ammo efficiency mods like Arcane Pistoleer are recommended. The explosion's high status chance allows it to be used as a status effect applicator. Note that the explosion damage is unaffected by Synth Charge, though (Primed) Fulmination does apply, though the small blast radius minimizes its effect.

Riot-848 Endgame Build

This guide focuses on a straightforward, high-damage build for the Riot-848, optimized for Steel Path and Archimedean missions.

Endgame Build

Forma	4 (4V)
Variant	Riot-848

Given that the majority of damage originates from the reload mechanic, Galvanized Shot is less effective. Instead, Hornet Strike and Secondary Deadhead (or Merciless) provide ample base damage. Galvanized Diffusion and Lethal Torrent boost multishot and fire rate.

Critical mods are essential. Primed Pistol Gambit is ideal for critical chance (Creeping Bullseye is a viable alternative). Galvanized Crosshairs pushes critical chance into the optimal range. Primed Target Cracker significantly increases critical damage. Complete the build with your preferred elemental damage combination.
