looks like i got 2 people that cant read... but like to talk for the sake of talking... i guess you prefer to grind the forums instead of in-game... (get those post numbers up, there's huge rewards when you reach a world record)

i just came across this and is there a reasonable answer as to why 2 primary weapons turn into secondary weapon?

someone forgot the category to put it in or something, and couldn't be bothered to rectify it?

I think it's more that dual pistols is a secondary thing and grakata it tagged as a rifle. Basically Twin Grakatas turns you into rambo.

thank you for stating the obvious.

how does 2 RIFLES turn into PISTOLS?.

Since you want to be dense about this lets look at another thing in the game.

What is the difference between Tatsu and Nikana? One is a two hander and the other is a one hander. Why should something the same size be allowed to have two different grips. Because it is relative. Why should they have to code a whole new primary when something that can be dual handed can be. That's why I made the joke about being Rambo. He is using to machine guns that normally need two hands to use like a rifle.

To boil it down even further for you. They have a system that uses dual guns it happens to be in secondary not primary. Deal with it.

Do you have a stick so far up your butt that you have to resort to degrading people? Personally you sound toxic.

im not being dense.

i asked for a reasonable answer and you give jokes.

if you dont know, then you dont know... which means you dont need to feel obligated to post anything.
there is no reason to start joking around when someone specifically requested a reasonable answer.

how something fits together is a little different to what category something goes in.

if someone appears toxic based on your illogical response, is that their fault?
maybe try take something seriously, when someone specifically requests that. then they might not seem to be so toxic.

its all my fault, im sorry for making a topic that made you feel obligated to say something unnecessary.
next time, feel free to just say "i dont know", that will also get your post count up, maybe not the rewarding likes though.

Rather feeding what is starting to feel like a troll, got a simple idea thats plausible. Framework issues. There is no dual weild framework/animation set tied to the primary slot, but we do have dual weild setup for the secondary slot. Not a programing expert nor do I have any idea what warframe looks like under the hood, given that Zaws(and likely kitguns) cant use Skins due to their stats being tied to the model, wouldn't be surprised if it was a simular case for the Twins.

There's really no need for anybody to start being toxic in here.

Yeah, it's a little odd, but that's how it's been for a long time now. It'd be neat if we had 'dual' primaries too, but whether D.E. does or doesn't want to try that out remains to be seen. So far, they haven't. Naturally, if they ever do try it, one would expect them to change "Twin Grakatas" to be a primary as well.

Oh for the love of all things holy.  OP has a point...that none of you seem to get.

full sized Grakata = primary weapon

2 full sized grakatas = secondary weapon

It is, and has always been a little weird.  

And for some reason the twins have a skewed Crit and dmg numbers from the Primary version.

To the OP...I don't think anyone will have an answer.  If there is one you'll need a to find a no lifer that knows the dev stream histories (as opposed to a no lifer like me that doesn't watch the dev streams).  Like Xzorn or Talliat or someone with like 5k posts.

I think the real answer is coding - all dual guns are secondaries.

However, my headcanon is that it's you getting better with the weapons. At MR5 you can wield a single grakata, by MR9 you're more badass and can hold one in each hand. And part of that is a weak primary becoming half of a strong secondary.

It may be a bit weird but it’s the way they are designed. Just think of Grakata as first a pistol type rifle that is placed in the primary category, and a pair of them are in the secondary category, just like many dual-pistols.

Why no primary twin Grakatas?

Why no heavy Grakata?

Why no Grakata wraith, Grakata vandal and vaykor Grakata?

Why no Grakata Prime? (because only Corpus is allowed to have lore-breaking Primes probably)

Why no unique Grakata augment mod? (because I was too late to Nightwave and it was literally impossbve to catch up)

Why no archwing Grakata?

Why no modular Grakatas?

Why no Grakata melee?

Why no Grakata amp or at least just using regular Grakata as operator?

Why no sentinel Grakata?

Why no Grakata decorations like the fishing trophies?

Why I can get a signed poster of John Prodman, but not Clem?

Why?

They don’t though. 

But they use pistol ammo!”

The Grakata is a Grineer SMG. You’ve never heard of an SMG chambered for pistol caliber rounds?

But they’re in the secondary slot!

There’s a reason the “secondary” section isn’t called the “pistol” section. Secondaries are just as the name implies, a backup/alternative to the primary weapon of your arsenal. Just because a weapon is in that section doesn’t automatically make it a pistol. 

If I had to guess the reason why Twin Grakatas aren’t in the primary section, it’s probably because the code/animations for dual-wielding guns is linked to secondaries somehow. Spaghetti code happens, and putting Twin Grakatas in the secondary section was probably preferable to accidentally breaking something with primaries.

Why?

These are the real questions one should ask.
May I also add why we can't make a Prisma Twin Grakata out of 2 Prisma Grakatas?
