The Zylok is a unique Warframe secondary weapon that was first introduced to the game during the Pyrus Project event. Of course, your secondary weapon shouldn’t be your main source of damage, but with a light-bodied heavy hitter like the Zylok, you might just be able to get away with it. The Zylok has a double-action trigger, which allows it to be fired quickly. It deals primarily Slash damage and is alarmingly loud, so we wouldn’t take this one into any missions that require stealth. Let’s take a look at the best build for the Zylok in Warframe.
How To Get Zylok in Warframe
Since the conditions required to obtain Zylok while the Pyrus Project event was active are no longer in the game, obtaining it is much up to chance now. You can trade with another Operator to get it from them or wait until Baro Ki’teer has it in stock. When it does appear in Baro’s store, it will cost 200,000 Credits and 500 Ducats. However, before purchasing Zylok, you must have a Mastery Level of at least 6.
