In Warframe, Gauss is a fantastic option for players who enjoy going fast. While not the first Speedster Frame in the game, Gauss has proven extremely popular due to his survivability in challenging content. Gauss can also put out plenty of damage, using his internal batteries to supercharge not just his abilities but also his rate of fire, attack speed with melee weapons, and reload speed. Gauss can be a complex Warframe to master, but players who put in the time will be rewarded with an incredibly fun playstyle.
How to farm Gauss in Warframe
Gauss’s main blueprint, like many other Frames, can be purchased from the Market for 30,000 Credits. The component pieces are earned by completing Disruption missions at the Kappa node on Sedna. For Disruption missions, ensure you bring weapons that hit very hard, as the mission’s focus is to protect Conduits from Demolyst enemies that seek to destroy them.
The Systems, Chassis, and Neuroptics will only drop on Rotation C, and all of them have a 7.84% chance of dropping. The Rotation pattern for this mission is A/A/B/C, so you can potentially earn a component with every fourth successful rotation.
All resources required to build Gauss
Below is a complete list of the resources needed to build Gauss and how to get them. Please note that you need to hit a high rank with two different Syndicates to get everything you need to build Gauss. This may take new players some time.

- 3 Radiant Zodian – the blueprint for Radiant Zodian can be purchased from Smokefinger at Fortuna on Venus for 8000 Standing after hitting the rank of Doer with the Solaris Unite Syndicate. You need 3 Zodian to make it, and they can be mined from blue ore veins on Orb Vallis.

Once you have all the resources, you can build the components in the Foundry. This will take 24 hours. The components can then be combined with the main blueprint and 3 Orokin Cells to make Guass, which will take 72 hours.
