Where to Get the Bubonico in Warframe

The Bubonico could be easy or difficult to get, depending on your situation. Its blueprint can be acquired from the Bio Lab in a Clan Dojo, provided it is researched. This requires that you, of course, are in a Clan, which you can find in the in-game Recruitment Chat. Once you’re in a Clan and can access the Clan Dojo, simply purchase the blueprint from the Bio Lab and head back to your Orbiter.

The Bubonico requires the following materials to craft:

  • 10x Mutagen Mass
  • 3x Argon Crystal
  • 1,200x Plastids
  • 22,000x Nano Spores

Once you have these materials, simply wait 24 hours after starting the build process and the Bubonico should be yours. From there, you’ll just have to grind out the XP for it and build it however you’d like.

Is the Bubonico Worth Using?

The Bubonico is considered among the community to be one of the best primary weapons in Warframe. Its alternate fire is great for priming enemies with status effects, while its primary fire is good at dealing with heavy targets and following up on the status effects applied by the alternate fire. Provided you build it right, it can be a powerhouse of Infested engineering.

As for which mods you should use, Fire Rate, Status Chance, and Critical Damage/Chance are all great choices alongside Multishot. Whichever best mods you have for primaries that help any of those stats can help you out immensely. Slapping something like Primary Merciless as the Arcane is the cherry on top.
