Exalted Weapon Finisher Without Melee Weapon

[Umgak]

Summary

Warframes which have Exalted Weapons that have Finisher animations can activate those Finishers even when no melee weapon is present.

 

Steps to Reproduce

1. Equip a frame that has an ability-activated Exalted melee weapon with finisher animations (most of my testing was on Valkyr Prime, but the issue also occurred on Wukong and Excalibur).
2. Unequip your melee weapon.
3. Enter any mission with enemies who can have a Finisher performed by the Frame's Exalted Weapon (no MOAs for Valkyr, sorry).
4. Activate, then de-activate the Frame's Exalted Weapon.
5. Attempt to perform a Finisher on an enemy who is either un-alerted or vulnerable.

Expected Results

Nothing happens; there is no melee weapon equipped, so finishers should not be possible.

Actual Results

The Frame pantomimes a Finisher animation; Valkyr pulls an enemy to the ground and stomps them, Excalibur makes sword thrusting animations at his foes, and Wukong attempts to choke enemies out with an invisible stick. In all cases, these animations deal a pitiful 50 damage and ragdoll the enemy.
