Mag confirmed to get a Magnetize buff

[(PSN)CommanderC2121]

Magnetize can now be localized on mag!

Everyone remember how two Tennocons ago we saw mag do a Neo bullet return move, and DE said that would be added as an augment? Looks like they did even better and just made it part of the core ability. 
 

According to Reb, it stops projectiles, but not melee or AoE damage. It also seems to deal damage in a cone like a shotgun. Looks really gun to be honest and a nice buff to mags survivability

Neato!

Anything on any other Warframes? 

[(PSN)Ozymandias-13-]

That is awesome!

And, not to get my hopes up, I'm guessing that means there's more improvements that haven't been revealed yet. 🤞

I somehow pictured this move was going to be one handed, and fired off like how Ironman does it.

[Kaotyke]

What is this? Ability buffs? But only nerfs happen!

... OH! I KNOW! THIS IS A NERF TO ENEMY SURVIVABILITY!

phew... now everything is back to normal.

I mean, that's how the grabbing works in the cinematic, so it's reasonable.

Yass!

Now we wait for Volt to nearly stop time (teammates included for added trolling) like he does in the trailer, because of how fast he is.

And Excal's shockwave from Radial Javelin. Seriously on this one.

[(PSN)robotwars7]

My Mag Prime: "I can instantly restore my shields to full, take the enemy's shields and armour away, jam their guns and shut down their robots all in one fell swoop, and usually get a few kills with it as well!"

DE: "would you also like to be immune to bullets while you do all that?"

My Mag Prime: *Evil Laughter*

Every Corpus in the Origin System: "well, fu-"

@MagPrime, veredict?

Excal didn't do Radial Javelin in the trailer. He did a slam attack with his Exalted Blade.

Anyway, I hope DE will eventually go back and make Magnetize actually look like the cinematic intro version:

[(XBOX)TehChubbyDugan]

This is probably going to cause an issue for several players.  So many of the abilities in this game have the "tap for one thing, hold to switch or do it the other way" and many of them are inconsistent with each other.  Because of the frames I play, I use the option to switch which is which, which makes several lesser used frames feel off.  This tap/hold being added to Mag is probably going to make her super clunky for me to use now because I'm probably going to end up needing to hold just to use normal Magnetize.

They really need to let us pick individually for each ability what we want tap to do and hold to do.  It gets a little clunkier with each new ability with this that they add.

Zephyr: So, can you run, parkour, shoot, use your other abilities and protect everything in a very large radius?

Mag: No, its a pseudo protect and damage ability instead of only protection like yours, but people are saying your ability is now RIP.

Zephyr: "People", huh?

Mag: Yeah. You know how it is.

6m range. That is not a big number. That is a small number!

Compared to Maggy's Self-Attractor? From the looks of it, its half that.

[Aldain]

And just like that Nyx loses another Niche.

Spoiler

Mag is the better waifu anyway

But what I really want is that Excalibur buff for Radial Javelin...or whatever they are going to do to it.

[KnossosTNC]

Animation looks a bit weird, but otherwise I'm pleased with this.

[GPrime96]

Extra Survivability to a power house of a Frame, sure

Just a slam attack, then?

Well, darn, even better! I'll have that awesome shockwave with every slam attack, then! 😄

Obligatory Cynical question : Is this a PR move to regain player confidence after The Helminth nerf?

I don’t play mag that much, but hey more power to mag users.

I mean it technically isn't tied to the Helminth system at all, Mag gives pull not Magnetize (though I honestly wish she did after seeing the mini-Absorb) so I wouldn't think so.

They likely just have a few small details like this they were saving for launch hype.

This has nothing to do with the Helminth system. DE already said last year that they were going to allow Mag to do what it does in the trailer. They're doing this for the New Player Experience.
