Within the User Interface OPTIONS, 19 out of 26 are DEDICATED to the HUD. BEGINNING with "SHOW HUD" (default ON). Switch that OPTION Setting to "X" and it will NOT SHOW HUD. Go back into OPTIONS Settings, and switch it again, and it will SHOW HUD. If it is believed that there ARE any GOOD REASONS for SHOW HUD to be set to OFF, one thing is CERTAIN: There are PARTS of Warframe which are simply UNNAVIGABLE with "SHOW HUD" turned OFF. Since there may be, or ARE GOOD REASONS which players do or may have for wanting "SHOW HUD" to be OFF, but THERE ARE aspects which REQUIRE it to be ON, there is the OPTION to CUSTOMIZE CONTROLLER with a binding to TOGGLE HUD, and an OPTION to SELECT between "SHOW HUD" ON, "SHOW HUD" OFF and "SHOW HUD" TOGGLE (with controller). I am grateful for that OPTION. It would have been far more than merely inconvenient if the OPTION HAD NOT been provided, and ANY BENEFIT which having "SHOW HUD" set to OFF brings to ACCESSIBILITY, would have been practically obviated without the TOGGLE "SHOW HUD" OPTION. (Oh, wait. I'm getting ahead of myself. There is no such option. Or is there, and I just an not find it anywhere for some reason? If it is not there, is there any good reason for it to not be an option? At least, on the Playstation platform. Seeing the Game Play Demos during TennoCon Events always makess it look like there is such a minimum an option and a whole lot more on the PC.) I just remember some mention during TennoCon of QUALITY OF LIFE and ACCESSIBILITY improvements which were expected to be discussed at a later date.

A funny story … or two … I had been using a plastic air soft version of the Klin-PP9 as a frame for modeling concept camera gear around for more than a decade, the whole time thinking it was just a mash-up of a PAM and Skorpion, and not modeled after any existing gun, until the Protokol skins were added in. My first instinct was that DE had done the same thing, but by the time it actually formed into a thought, it seemed totally unlikely. So I did a IMFDB look-up for Dark Sector (‘cause I’d never played it), and F*** Me! All this time I had been under an old assumption. The One Protokol Skin which is actually NOT from Dark Sector (except in name, and general concept) is the Tekna Mark 24 9mm. It’s definitely based on the H&K Mark 23 (which is sooooo over-used in media, thanks to the SOCOM Mark 23). So DE obviously wanted to do SOMETHING … different … beyond just changing the name. Making it a 9mm (presumably to add a 3 round burst option), was not quite enough. DESPITE supposedly being 9mm, both versions have .45 Caliber engraved. But the Warframe skin is pretty much just a clone of the H&K Mark 23 … almost. It seems that DE WANTED to do something more with the Mark 24, and just couldn’t finish figuring out how to make it work. The design of the laser sight thingie is really weird. It is, in short, too long for the Mark 23 frame. And that is the first STRETCH which both versions of the Mark 24 make. The WF skin does not include the under frame gear. But what it looks like they wanted to do was actually a sensible idea for firing 3 round bursts with an extended mag/ clip. Stretching the frame created enough length to add something built in to the H&K MP7 SMG: A folding front grip. Obviously the effort did not come to fruition, and the WF skin is left a bit … stripped down.
