Warframe lets players play the way they want to, dealing with enemies with akimbo swords, shotguns, snipers, anything. The game even includes a collection of launchers, devastating weapons that prioritize a Tenno's offensive abilities and allowing the player to do tons of damage even on higher-level missions.

Not all launchers are as good as one another. While all launchers are viable throughout the Star Chart depending on how the player has modded their weapon, there are some launchers with better base stats that players would have an easier time using. Typically, the best launcher weapons are mostly Kuva versions. Warframe is a game with great PvE multiplayer and launchers are a really fun way of dealing damage to bosses and high-level enemies.

6 Secura Penta

An exclusive version of the Penta locked behind the Perrin Sequence syndicate, the Secura Penta is an impressive weapon and a very strong launcher. Its advantages are its innate Blast damage, very high critical and status chance. It's drawbacks, however, are its self-stagger, slow reload speed, and low ammo capacity. Match this with one of Warframe's best shotguns for an extra powerful load out.

The Secura Penta requires players to be Mastery Rank 12 and can be obtained by reaching the rank of Partner in the Perrin Sequence and then purchasing it for 125,000 standing. This is a bit of a grind, so players should make sure they're being patient.

5 Panthera Prime

The Panthera Prime is the Primed variant of the original Panthera, having better base stats as is the case for all Prime versions of weapons. It has a high magazine and above average status chance but is let down by its self-stagger, low reload speed, and below average critical chance.

Players need to be Mastery Rank 14 to use the Panthera Prime, and they can unlock it by completing Void Relic missions that list its blueprint and components as a potential reward. Players can expect to spend a lot of time in Void Relic missions as they search for the best Warframes and weapons.

4 Kuva Tonkor

The Kuva Tonkor is stacked with offensive capabilities and is proving to be very popular amongst Tenno all across the world! Its advantages are its high Blast, Puncture, and Slash damage, but its drawbacks are its lack of Impact damage, self-stagger infliction, and low magazine capacity of one round. Mixing this with the best of Warframe's beginner mods is a good way to get the most out of the load out.

The Kuva Tonkor can only be used once players have reached Mastery Rank 13 and can be obtained from vanquishing a Kuva Lich that generated with one. Alternatively, players can trade with others to get the Kuva Lich directly.

3 Kuva Ogris

The Kuva Ogris is the Kuva variant of the original Ogris weapon, possessing semi-automatic rounds instead. The Kuva Ogris' strong points are its innate Blast damage with very high overall damage, but its weak points are its low critical chance, slow reload speed, and the self-stagger explosive weapons like this one inflict on the user. Mixed with the best defense Warframes, players will have no trouble completing objectives and keeping them safe from the hordes of enemies.

The Kuva Ogris requires players to have unlocked the Kuva Fortress and be at least Mastery Rank 15. Once the player has met these expectations, they need to defeat a Kuva Lich that spawned with this weapon. If they're having trouble finding one naturally they can always trade with another player who has a Kuva Lich with an Ogris spawn.

2 Tenet Envoy

One of Warframe's Tenet weapons, the Tenet Envoy is one of the most powerful primary weapons in the game and is the second-strongest launcher weapon. The Tenet Envoy excels through its very high critical chance and critical multiplier, but is let down by its low fire rate, reload speed, and the self-stagger effect it places on the user.

The Tenet Envoy requires players to be at least Mastery Rank 16 and can be obtained by vanquishing a Sister that generated with one equipped. These Sisters can be traded so players who having trouble naturally finding a Sister with this weapon, their first port of call should be trading.

1 Kuva Zarr

Not only the best launcher, but the best primary weapon in all of Warframe, the Kuva Zarr is immensely powerful and should be gotten by anybody who wants to succeed in the late-game content. It has innate blast damage and has very high critical chance, but a small magazine size with low maximum ammo. Nevertheless, it is viable even on Warframe's Steel Path.

The Kuva Zarr can't be used until players have at least reached Mastery Rank 15, and can be obtained by killing a Kuva Lich that has generated with one. As with all Kuva Liches, players can trade them directly to other players in case anyone is having trouble getting them to spawn. This saves players a lot of time.

Warframe was released in 2013 and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox One Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch.
