kwlingo Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Since the Kuva Nukor is already the buffed up version of base Atomos we cannot just make it have the same Atomos but higher Heat DPS. I had a crazy idea that might be game breaking good. Allow the Kuva Atomos function similar to the alt-fire mode of Ferrox but instead of throwing it onto a surface, make it trigger on the side arm of the frame (combination of Ferrox alt-fire and Atomos). Essentially it becomes a stat-stick allowing frames to run around doing Condition Overload melee combos and CC as enemies get within range. This allows for an active gameplay style and being able to melt enemies asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a common practice, bit I doubt it's something that was ever intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieknife Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Maybe they could make it charge based, and the explosion chains between enemies instead of like a radial explosion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that there's still only 1 Kuva Melee weapon is odd to me. Not only because of the fact it's a unique weapon (which I don't mind), but its due to how there are so many Melee weapons from the Grineer faction to choose from, and with lots of potential for creativity. But the fact they decided to go for 2 Primaries (which I will admit, the Bramma is something I actually secretly wanted) and a Secondary for the recent additions is strange to me. Just seems like they aren't done with the pool yet, especially considering how they are still changes left to be made. Although I'd imagine that create problems for both Larvling farming and future faction Nemesis in terms of the weapon pool having to match or upstand the previous.

Kuva Ripkas could work though, just not sure what the bonus could be. Kuva twin Basolk, or Kuva Twin Krohkur? all of these weapons are still great, and don't need a Kuva version, though they would still be kinda neat for collection and aesthetic purposes. It would be nice to get more, but I'm not going to bank on it; I still have the Bramma and Hind to max out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthIronclad Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 tbh a Kuva Sobek is still what most would want to see...at least we got a kuva hind though,as that weapon that is also long overdue for a variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct from a few Dev Streams ago they said they are working on Corpus Liches which means Corpus Lich weapons.

Given some of the garbage rewards from late starchart missions ("heard you might need VITALITY by the time you reach Sedna!!") I don't think diluting the pool is something they care about.

Well yeah, I'm assuming your talking about the Corpus Liches and Infested Liches, which will definitely bring new weapons and possibly the rest of the damage bonuses. However, I'd like to believe those would be separate from the current selection, and possibly even differential in theme as well. Like instead of Kuva, Corpus could be using some new Proxy technology for new types of Android-like units and upgrade their weapon as new dangerous Prototypes, and Infested could further mutate their selves for more deadly cysts and create more Mutalist weapons and Abominations through them. I don't know, having Kuva in everything related in all types of Liches would be kinda weird to me and oversaturate the theme. Although, that does save DE from having to make up some weird explanation on the Requiem mods we'd have to use (or not, since they'd probably make us farm for more types of them either way).

This would be the same as Orokin enemies. They all can be spawned in alliance vs other fractions attack each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
