Be sure to use this on Atlas.
Also subsume Nourish on every frame.
Regards, Knightmareframe
By the time i get the mod i will have passed away
So many people coping about the fact they don't have this amazing mod in the comments
Niche mod ngl, very few frames might actually require it as a permanently slotted exilus mod, Chroma with a PT build for example
Its funny because doesn't work if you fall from your k-drive, get lifted by Mania or sometime else, but are minimal instances
I feel like you missed the entire point of the mod, it's also written as to what it applies and doesn't apply to.
Or use Atlas with his passive.
That's a single frame out of over 50, I'm not defending the mod here but it's an autistic statement to say "just use X frame, it has the thing already"
I want this mod purely for the sake of Arbitration farming. I agree with others that, otherwise, this is completely useless. But the Kuva Ogris with Primed Firestorm has such a huge range, that over the course of a 30m-60m Arbitration, you're going to get knocked down many times without it, making the Arbitration less efficient and possibly even slightly reducing how many Vitus Essence you would have gotten. For that reason, this mod is necessary in my loadout.
A proper Kuva Ogris build with energized munitions and PSF is honestly just very good for clearing rooms at base SP level
Easy to get, cheap to upgrade, the perfect mod
Yareli have it in her kit
Coincidence?
Arguably the most controversial mod in Warframe
Me use corinth prime
Sometime corinth prime glitch and instantly detonate in my face
Me no like that
The end
Kahl knows that. Kahl hates explosions in his face. Brothers hate that too.
Just use gauss lmao
Fax
This comment section is full of jealous ppl lmao
It's funny to see the absolute seethe a single mod has provoked over the years, I'm a few days away from it and can't wait to use it on ivara
Knightmareframe fans be like
Primed sure footed is a crutch and a slot better spent on other things, end of story, the tenno below is just a fanboy
Mimimimi, people can use what they want, end of story, the tenno above is just a fanboy
They can use what they want but it's still a crutch end of story
Someone doesn't use the right weapons. If it doesn't normally knock you on your ass from firing it, you're using the wrong weapons. Big boom over all. And not everyone wants to use a setup or specific frame to get overguard.
Alright I'm here to settle the debate. Primed sure footed is amazing. End of story. And to all you losers saying "Oh but I have 9000 hours in the game!". Time invested doesn't make you good at the game. And a fact is, I fight level cap enemies. I run upwards of almost days in a row in endurance runs. I solo run netracells, which is a lot more than a lot of you dumb*ss Legendary 300 with 2 billion hours. A fact is experience doesn't make you inherently good at anything. Now that I have laid the grounds for why you're wrong, let my explain why I'm right. If you're good enough to reach level 9999 there's typically only really 2 things that can kill you. 1. Toxic procs 2. stagger. I know there's abilities that can counter stagger, but not all warframes have access or would want to use such abilities constantly, Stagger at level 9999 is lethal because it puts you on the ground for just enough time for your shield gate to run out. No I don't use it because I ogris my feet. But in game modes where there's 0 respawns or alike, I realise even I can make a mistake and accidentially get staggered by a eximus or alike, and when that happens there's a chance I get caught completely off gaurd, and die because my shield gate runs out before I can get up. I kinda hate that I have to use this argument, but if you disagree it's literally because you are bad at the game. The end.
(Like said there are a few warframes that don't need primed sure footed, but those who do, benefit incredibly from it)
400 days is a long time for a mod and these mods should have other sources. But you can always use other things to prevent knockdown. For example Unairu school gives PSF while it does suck you would have to use this over another, it also acts as an armor strip too. There are other ways too gain Knockdown resist, They also buffed recently fortitude and regular sure footed to be 100% when used together (yes it takes another mod slot but overall this is a good change and is worth if you want that 100%). As the above comment mentioned you can always roll into stuff to mitigate knockdown as well. Frames like Styanax (Aug) / Revenant (Aug) / Qorvex Are party wide Knockdown resist frames as well. Can even sub in some less reliable but still decent mods like Negate.
Failed to mention an acolyte can have a bug where it doesnt consider you at 100% with Sure Footed and Fortitude. Something like Unairu school will help with that.
None of the game is remotely balanced around those levels, and you're probably looking at a statistically insignificant amount of the player base who does it (despite many people rave on about it, who only have 2nd hand experience from watching some tuber/streamer). The main reasoning being staggered is literally just a skill issue. It's hilarious that you're calling others bad when despite you using cheese to do that level you have to also use a mod to prevent your own lack of skill and awareness from catching up to you.
Does it have a place? Sure, but this mod's value is more inflated than the prices of trade chat.
OP is an idiot. A guy who is seriously bragging about doing Netracells solo (they're easy af so whats to brag about this LOL) sure cant even reach lvl 5000 solo LOL
I use this thing if I plan on using stuff like the Akarius, Ogris, or weaponry that otherwise has comedically large blast radiuses and the Warframe itself lacks any stagger prevention. It's a super-handy piece of QoL, and being able to not have to worry about getting knocked down from anything is great.
Now watch as DE removes the self-stagger exception from this mod.
The amount of controversy surrounding this mod is unreal lmao
Funny to read
You are all losers
All these noobs saying this overhyped shit is actually good LOL!
I have nearly 9000 hours in warframe, and do mostly endurance runs with all kinds of warframes and weapons, yet about none of them has psf equipped. the mod really isn't as powerful as all these n00bz may think. if you learn how to aim propably, you dont need it. and there are a lot of ways to resist knockdowns if you really have to. i feel like this mod is advertised mainly from the kind of players that thought self damage to be "unplayable" when it was in the game.... like it was unreasonable that a rocket exploding on your feet can kill you. anyway nowadays those kinds of players spam theyre kuva bramma at theyr feet, with copied builds and talk about end game and how this mod is the end all be all. it really is not.
If anything, "9000" hours in a grindfest game like Warframe makes me value your opinion less lmao
More value than psf, AYYO!
The mod for elitists who hate people not using what they use, and also love firing their ogris at their feet.
"You hate it because you're just jealous" is an actual 8 years old child mindset.
And you have it lol
Literally watching people offer 10,000 platinum for Primed Sure Footed, so I'm leaning on the "people are jealous" train.
You can't even trade it lmao
So Dax Arcus stagger shots ignore PSF. If this is not a bug the responsable can go eat a bag of moldy baboons rectums.
I swear every year there is some new crap that this piece of garbage doesn't work against.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wanna be without it but it still fails where Atlas, Nezha and Rhino are completely unfazed.
