Best Shotguns in Warframe
Shotguns are usually slow weapons with their own ammo type. With shorter range and high damage, a majority of these weapons can kill an enemy with one press of the trigger.
Best Snipers in Warframe
Sniper Rifles vary in power because of how they work, but their unique Shot Combo can make for devastating quick kills. They share the same mods as Rifles but use their own type of ammo. Snipers aren’t really widely used, but there is one Sniper that the community agrees is the best.
Best Bows & Crossbows in Warframe
These weapon types use Rifle mods and must be charged before firing for maximum damage. Bows use Sniper ammo, and Crossbows use Rifle ammo.

Best Unique Weapons in Warframe
Weapons that don’t fit into the main four categories don’t have their own specific category of their own. They vary in their functionality and usually use one of the ammo types, either rifle or shotgun mods.
Weapons in Warframe can be customized in many ways. While these weapons are the best when built in a specific way, players may have a different idea of what weapons they prefer. A Dread may not be what someone is looking for if they prefer quick-firing and loud weapons. Using what works before going for specific weapons is a good way of learning the game and its mechanics.
