(PSN)FK2P 727 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I was playing peace Walker, and I was having fun with the MG3, and I thought hey, the Supra is the only LMG in warframe, but wouldn’t it be cool to have a bulky weapon class that’s less accurate and pumps out lots of bullets and has a huge mag? EDIT: all the LMGs in this game look like assault rifles. :( Edited January 23 by (PSN)FK2P 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There are six light machineguns in Warframe, counting variants. Gorgon, Gorgon Wraith, Prisma Gorgon, Supra, Supra Vandal and Quellor. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Gorgon, Gorgon Wraith, Prisma Gorgon, Supra, Supra Vandal and Quellor. You forgot Trumna. Even then, that's only 4 base types, and both the Gorgon and Supra (and their variants) feel more like chainguns due to having a spool-up time. I would love to have something that handles more like an M249 or similar weapon, which would probably be like the Trumna, but with slightly higher fire rate, no AoE, a small amount of innate punchthrough, and less recoil. The Quellor just feels weak compared to what an LMG should be, and is really only good for its alt-fire. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Quellor can deal, iirc, as much as 1,000+ damage per round, I'd have to check my current build... but yeah, it is rather uninspiring. The closest I've seen to a proper M249-style machinegun is the Imperator and Phaedra. Mausolon is more akin to an autocannon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TheSixOfDiamonds 160 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Where does Soma fit in this mess? I've always mentally treated it like an LMG, esp SomaP. Also, yes, more big honking guns that spray uncomfortable amounts of stuff downrange at high speed sounds good. Link to post Share on other sites

It's built off a Chauchat LMG, but IMO it's size and play style puts it closer to SMGs like the Grakata and baza. Edited January 20 by rapt0rman Link to post Share on other sites

Supra isn't the only LMG, there's also the Soma family, Trumna, Tenora, Gorgon family and Quellor. sure, some are slower than others but they are designed to do the same thing: give suppressive fire to mow down groups of enemies and force them to stay in cover. that's also not counting the Archgun MGs, Imperator family, Mausolon and Phaedra (Cygnas doesn't count IMO, it's too much like an oversized burst-fire assault rifle). I will say that I do love the entire line of German LMGs: particularly the MG42. "Hitler's Buzzsaw" as it was commonly known. what i REALLY want though is a proper minigun. even if it has to be an Archgun, It must have: - anywhere from 3 to 8 rotating barrels. - ludicrous fire rate, at least 40-50 rounds per second (that's about twice as fast as a base Grakata.) - massive ammo pool, at the very least 500 rounds, 1000 is preferable. - damage can be kept on par with other MGs for balance. high fire rate helps it's DPS enough anyway. basically give me the chance to do this: between this and Kuva Ayanga I'd never need another Archgun again!

Since Octavia Prime is right around the corner let's hope Tenora Prime gets multiple barrel design with increased fire rate and magazine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Only 2 frames with signature weapons have been primed so far, Atlas got his signature primed, while Mirage didn't.

Bryuf 458 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I'd love to see a big rotating corpus laser minigun as an archweapon, something like the corpus response to grattler Link to post Share on other sites

Signature weapons having actual stat changes is a relatively new thing, so I get the feeling DE is going to follow that moving forward. Mirage's Akzani don't actually do anything differently when she uses them, but Atlas' Tekko gets a status chance boost and was primed. Both the Tenora and Pandero likewise have real passives when used with Octavia, so I think it's a pretty safe bet that those two - or at least one of them - will be primed as well.

xombob89 520 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I recommend Trumna altho it may not be quite what you are looking for due to the slowish firerate. But give it to Gauss and thats where the real fun starts. Soma is also a solid option. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
(XBOX)Cram Duahcim 533 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 We need a Minigun. The only rotating multi barrel gun is the Cestea/duel Cestras. Seriously hoping with Corpus Lichs were get an arch gun that has multiple spinning barrels. It needs to be that big. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
UUDDLRLRBA_START 254 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Warframe is not Metal Gear / Carl of Duty. While some weapon ideas can be cloned (i.e., Spartan Laser = Opticor), I'd rather have Warframe be unique. Link to post Share on other sites

I think you might be misunderstanding something, LMGs aren't a product of videogames, It's a designation for a general size of machine gun. A decent portion of Warframe's weapon designs are already based off real world counterparts. To clarify, the MG34 looks like this: Spoiler Which, with an aesthetic makeover (preferably grineer) would look right at home in Warframe. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

See my problem is that that while the soma is an LMG, it doesn’t feel like a LMG, and neither do any of the others, they all look like assault rifles. Link to post Share on other sites
32768 320 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Try Mausolon. I personally think that Quellor is also a good choice. Edited January 23 by 32768 Link to post Share on other sites

Stradavar takes inspiration from an LMG (the Lewis gun) but unfortunately it got scaled down. Also, it loses a lot of it's bulky, intimidating appearance without it's iconic barrel shroud. Which TBH seems to be the intent with the Stradavar, with it's violin related name. Spoiler vs Edited January 23 by rapt0rman Link to post Share on other sites

Since the Entrati archguns went live, I've stuck to Mausolon as my primary archgun, while bringing out my Kuva Ayanga for arbitration survivals. The only issue I have with Mausolon is, unless you pack Ammo Chain or use Lavos, your spare ammo is only two magazines and hard to refill. Link to post Share on other sites
