CaffeineTanuki Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 So, I've been wanting to make my ideal grenade launcher for a while, but finally got around to re-building and re-potatoing a Tonkor. Sadly, the Tonkor will never be what i want it to be. The grenades explode midair if they dont hit anything, instead of just on contact. I would love to see this changed to make the Tonkor more realistic and immersive. Instead, I have to use a mod slot to put an unranked Adhesive Blast to keep them from exploding before hitting the ground, and when they do stick that 17% of times, they take a while to go off. I know nobody will read this because nobody cares about the Tonkor, but I do. -An Explosion-Happy Tenno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a bug, they are most definitely supposed to 'splode on contact. Are you maybe shooting through Electric Shield or something? Because that interaction was bugged for a bit and produced what you're describing, maybe that bug is back? Either way, you should probably make a bug report.

CaffeineTanuki Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 nope, they just explode after a certain time in the air. no other interactions. might have been a bug though, ill try again later without AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt using volt or anything, they were just exploding midair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaffeineTanuki Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Would still love a re-visit to the grenade launchers. They've fallen so harshly by the wayside because of bad stats or not being optimal. Like how Tonkor only has one shot before needing to reload, or how the Penta has only 10% crit and status. Even the Zarr falls victim to bad stats, only having a crit of 17% on the cluster bomb even though it has a 2.5x crit multi. These weapons simply didnt get enough love, and now they've been forgotten to most. I personally wouldn't mind having more ammo in my Tonkor if it meant having a slower reload time.

z3us32610 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Funny, because about 10% of the time, for me, they don't explode at all. And this is when they have travelled more than a sufficient amount of distance. I'm assuming it's a bug. Edit: I actually just read that the grenades will disarm if they've travelled in the air for more than 5 seconds. Except in the cases that I've encountered, they have not been in the air anywhere close to that long.

It's one of my favorite grenade launchers. I'm having a blast with Tonkor. If you don't like its magazine size, use reload mods (in a way, it increases your fire rate) or use another weapon.

(PSN)Lei-Lei_23 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It would be great if Tonkor’s base damage type wasn’t Blast. It would certainly bolster its damage just a slight bit higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyabi-sama Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 AFAIR you can make Tonkor bombs explode on contact regardless if it is enemy or surface. But only if you use flight speed mod + augmented Zephyr's Turbulence with decent AS. Welp. At least two launchers make Mag do crazy stuff: Miter and Penta series. Just pop a magnet dome aaaaannnd... to be continued. Overall Tonkor feels very dangerous since if you miss and the bomb won't go off, you'd better stay away from that place! Also the bomb nerf won't counting headshot/weakspot in damage multiplification anymore thanx to the Tonkor. So... yeah. Correct me if I might be wrong somewhere.

Tonkor is a simple on-impact-detonation weapon now, the bouncing / enemy contact thing was removed quite a while ago. https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Tonkor Edited September 22, 2019 by NinjaZeku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly bolster its damage just a slight bit higher. it wouldn't really make sense if it were changed. Blast is an explosion, and the Tonkor is a normal grenade launcher. no fancy elements, no unique tidbits, just a normal grenade launcher. if anything, its crit multiplier or crit chance would be the ideal thing to buff, as it has the highest base damage of all the grenade launcher weapons.

(XBOX)Architect Prime Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I've got a nice riven for it, so I'm able to do about 150k dmg with it consistently. Goes good with saryn or wisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyabi-sama Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 6 часов назад, NinjaZeku сказал: slightly It appears not in any way slightly. I never paid attention to it aside of its nerf (even before the nerf). It seem more like Ogripenta now. Or Pentogris? Interesting boomstick nontheless, sporting highest damage of all launcher class. A pity it is contact action. I'd love to lob a couple in those sweet Mag's... hm... domes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this was because it was released around the time that rivens were and they were afraid of the rivens making it too oppressive if it had good base stats--instead the riven became "required" for it to be any good.

(PSN)FriendSharkey Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Oh Tonkor how I miss thee...I sometimes have fanciful fantasies of a new Warframe based on ammo and it looks like a Armored Core Jet Mech...skating around the tile sets..with a passive that it takes no self damage...

Sends out a bunch of projectiles out from the blast in random directions. I don't see the proc as the primary problem, especially with something like the Tonkor. It's the resistance profiles of enemies. Blast is strong against Fossilized Infested, but Corrosive is even better. It's the best damage type versus Grineer Machinery...which unfortunately is comical as a strength, given how inconsequential these units are. The proc is situational, but can be pretty good. And even when it's not good, well, at least it's amusing. Edited September 27, 2019 by Tiltskillet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
