Warframe: Profit-Taker Mausolon Build

Acquisition

Luckily for new players who want to get the Mausolon, it will happen naturally as you go through Warframe’s many quests. Since the Mausolon is the default Archgun for the Necramech, all you need to do is make a Necramech and you get the Archgun for free.

 Since having a fully built Necramech is necessary for Warframe’s later quest, getting this weapon is a matter of when not if.

Stats

The Mausolon has a lot of good going for it that makes it so powerful. High critical chance, status chance, and fire rate are just some of what comes with this Archgun out of the box, which make modding it a lot easier.

Profit-Taker Build

This build will focus on taking out the Profit-Taker boss on Orb Vallis as quickly as possible.

Mod Choice

The mod choice for this build is as follows:

• Hallowed Bullets: Since the Mausolon already has a high critical chance and damage multiplier, we grab Hallowed Bullet to make our crits hit even harder.
• Parallax Scope: In the same vein as Hallowed Bullet, we slot Parallax Scope to increase this Archgun’s already impressive critical chance.
• Critical Focus: Same as the reasons for the previous two mods, Critical Focus will increase our critical chance and damage by a further 60% while aiming.
• Electrified Barrel: Since the Profit-Taker Orb has Alloy armor, we want to stat our Mausolon for Radiation damage since that’s one of its vulnerabilities.
• Combustion Rounds: Although the Mausolon already comes with Heat damage built in, adding Combustion Rounds will increase the amount of Radiation damage we do. 
• Primed Rubedo-Lined Barrel: This mod is just a straight damage buff which will be very helpful when trying to take down the Profit-Taker before its fail timer in the final phase of its fight.
• Dual Rounds: This mod gives us a +60% multishot chance when slotted. More multishot means more damage and more chances for crits which always helps.
• Automatic Trigger: We add this mod to increase our fire rate by +60%. This will allow us to deal fast damage to the Profit-Taker and the enemies surrounding it.

Alternative Mods

Since some of the mods for this build have low drop chances or require you to defeat the Profit-Taker to get, here are some alternative mods that can be used as substitutes:

• Polar Magazine: Since Alloy Armor is also weak to Cold damage, adding Polar Magazine along with Electrified Barrel and Combustion Rounds will make it so your Mausolon is hitting every vulnerability.
• Resolute Focus: This mod will help you reduce the many knockdown effects Profit-Taker will throw at you through the fight. It doesn’t add any additional damage, but it’s a nice bit of utility that will go a long way.
• Sabot Rounds: This mod will add +60% damage and +3 Punch Through. More damage is always welcome, and if you’re missing any of the main mods it won’t hurt to add this in its place.
• Magazine Extension: This mod will increase the amount of bullets you can fire before you need to recharge. While not crucial, it’s a decent alternative if you have nothing else to put on.
