Grineer – Strong; Corpus – Moderate; Infested – Very strong Slash is a common and highly-effective damage type by my measures – in addition to being on a bunch of melee weapons, most of its drawbacks are quickly canceled out by the traits of its status effect, as the Bleeding it inflicts can heavily damage enemies that theoretically would be resistant to it (mainly Grineer). Elemental types still DO damage, however you can't afflict them with a status effect (like Slash bleeds, fire burning, etc) someone mentioned above how the damage types are affected by the armor (or lack of armor) on the Eidolon, use that info to adjust your weapons and mods to your liking for eidolon hunting.
After Rising Tide kicked off, there's been a swarm of returning Tennos to Warframe's infrastructure, and there's definitely a whole lot to catch up on. In-between building battleships, let's take it back to some weapon basics for those who are so inclined. Here's a guide on Warframe Gas damage and how to use it to your advantage.
Gas damage, like any other damage type in the game, will have specific challenges associated with it where you'll be required to take down enemies by turning it to your advantage. Some weapons in the game will already be capable of Gas damage, including Telos Boltor and Cyanex to name a few.
Gas damage as a secondary damage type will spew out a Toxin cloud that will damage all enemies within range of your target, and it's highly effective as a damage type against Infested and Infested Flesh. Toxin damage mods will directly affect the Gas damage that you do, so keep that in mind when you're trying to cook up something explosive.
If you aren't the proud owner of any weapons that do Gas damage, you can still mod whatever you have lying around to make up for that. It's as simple as combining a Heat and Toxin mod together and prioritizing them in terms of the other elemental mods you might be using so that your weapon gains the ability to do Gas damage. You can make this one step easier if you're already in possession of weapons that do one of the two elemental damage types i.e. if you already own weapons that do Heat damage, adding a Toxin mod should sort you right out without any further ado.
Now that you've got our refresher on how Warframe Gas damage works and how to make sure that you add it to your current bag of deadly tricks, why not check out some other stuff that we've written as we catch ourselves up to the current meta and wave of content?

Ginny hails from just south of Mordor, and when she's not debating others about the One Ring then she's probably glued to an MMO or a JRPG. With Final Fantasy XIV, Destiny 2, and World of Warcraft on her plate, she's always got something to chat about and a sneaky guide up her sleeve. If writing's not on the cards, then she's probably drinking way too much coffee.
