This is the ideal sentinel body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Facts
Don't underestimate this buddy. Its Vaporize precept can stunlock Liches and Sisters and can actually melt level 100 Grineer enemies when its weapon is modded for damage. With Energy Generator, Synth Fiber, and Synth Deconstruct, you'll have a constant stream of energy and health orbs. Even better, combined with a heat-modded Verglas and Fired Up, your Dethcube will be killing enemies and breaking Nullifier fields while feeding you orbs.
It's a fine choice of companion even in late game content. It will still run into survivability issues in very long endurance runs (level 1000+ enemies), but Protea's Dispenser augment and the Parazon mod Hard Reset can offset that weakness.

Well even that weakness is now gone :))
Big W for dethcube users
Looks so cool sad its not worth exchanging for smeeta
Nah kavats poop overrated
Which one?
Dethcube isn’t bad, it’s just not “meta” you unworthy scum
Skoom*
Not scum dood

carrier prime still better imo
Both have different uses.
Dethcube Prime.
Dethcube. &@#$ing. Prime.
Gonna be my new most used sentinel, I just know it.
Can’t believe the little guy had a Prime now.
Ugh, has*
No no, you're correct
To new players; taxon is a better starter sentinel
To older players, don't bat your eye at deathcube when Energy Generator exists, it has a use.... we're all just waiting for a prime/wraith/prisma/vandal version of it
and now we farm it
If you're going to get the dethcube do it for mr not the actual sentinel. Only thing you should keep is the weapon.
You really are the brightest bulb in the bunch. This sentinel is very good if you use a Warframe to do most of the killing and do not need to rely on your weapons. The energy Generator can be very good since it will auto-attack anyone meaning it constantly gets assists. But whatever
few word of advice: DON'T WASTE YOUR 100k CREDIT ON TRASH , u only have 8 slot of sentinel (2 already use by your BFF TAXON) so be WISELY
waste your credits on trash actually, then sell it after farming MR with it.
and taxon is equally trash, you want shields? get a Raksa Kubrow or gtfo
So this companion needs a buff or a Prime/Vandal/Wrath version.
I would like to max all my companions but I wouldn't like to use 8 formas and the next month we get the upgraded version.
Excuse my bad English
How come the sentinel called "Dethcube" be the worst of the bunch? It's weapon is called "Deth Machine"! That's awesome! Why does it suck so badly?! Dethcube needs some love. He needs are rework and maybe a Simaris mod. Make Dethcube as awesome as it sounds.
They heard you. Now Dethcube Prime is quite awesome.
Garbage. Use helios, carrier, or a kitty. All of those are infinitely better than this piece of crap
Dethcube (Prime) is quite good and useful now.
Dethcube has the objectively best ass in all of warframe.
I'm tempted to build this just for the rifle to try on carrier
XBONE! LOL
900 radiation damage? Vaporize my ass. Just use Sweeper prime, deals larger and constant damage than this pathetic 30-sec downtime piece of shit.
Or vuklok. Or deconstructor. Or a freaking kavat. This sentinel is garbage
now its the Cryotra and still Deconstructor Prime which are by far the most fearsome....
Glory to the Soviet Union Comrades!
now I will go drink some fresh Vodka
also I want a Crusader Sentinel that says DEUS VULT when he shoots and the sentinel only shoots
hahahaha
Please check your grammar
