The Kusarigama(Ish) Weapon

[(NSW)The_Madrigal]

After a long while, it is done: the Kusarigama(ish) weapon. Based on the original concept, it's been tweaked to allow more practicality in the Warframe universe. What you do with it is you basically swing it around and pray it hits your foes (and not slice yourself in two). Below is a vid of how it looks like, as while as its effects under gravity. Kudos to all who suggested such a weapon, I hope you guys like it. Open to criticism on how to improve (keep in mind that exams are a week away:))

there is a weapon similar to that but has more versatility it is a variation of the kama were on the end of the handle there is chain with a weight of some sort on the end this allow this weapon to function as a melee weapon or ranged weapon as well as keep attackers at bay or disarm people from afar.

Yep, that's the Kusarigama. This weapon is based on its design :)

I can imagine clipping issue it might have.

ah i see

That's not quite a Kusarigama. The Kusarigama should not have the sickle attached to the chain, but rather, the chain attached to the sickle. The chain itself should have a blunt weight at the end so as to maintain momentum and potentially harm foes. The momentum from the weight keeps going when wrapping around a foe's sword, so as to disarm them via that method, though... in the Warframe universe, it could be given some kind of insane properties to pierce armor and stun opponents.

the disarm idea could work though for disarming heavy units weapons and the weapon you all are refereing to is pretty much what I'm talking about except its a kama with a chain running from the end of the handle and a weight on the end of a chain this is the weapon we are all thinking of probably

Yep, it's not a Kusarigama. This was based on its basic concept, and since I didn't know what to call it, (swingy blade on chain doesn't quite sound catchy) so I just referenced it

Additionally someone mentioned that this could be implemented with the (probably) upcoming grappling hooks, so I'd like to see how this turns out

One animation which I thought was cool is whenever it registers a critical strike, time would slow for a few seconds to see the blade flying towards the unlucky mob, and then revert back to normal time for the blade to slice it in two, Gore enabled.
