The concept is fine gameplay wise but this feel more like solider frame than a forge frame. Grenade belt skill , self healing skill , generic DR skill , exalted grenade launcher.

I was toying with forging ammo for teammates, but lavos and protia got there first. Perhaps I could give a team buff skill, but the kit is fairly interdependent so swapping abilities would require alot of reworking.

I feel like you really need to get into the theme off creating stuff. For example, for an ammo skill you could have a special issue ammo skill. Gives the weapons 3 magazines off special issues ammo. Special issue ammo comes in 4 varieties.

Armor piercing

Explosive

Hight yield (plus projectile speed and damage)

Rubber Rounds (bounce like glaives but reduce damage)

 

Or even go as far as I went with my witch frame ( modular skill that can be edited in the orbiter ) , so you could have a deployable , or weapon or skill you could edit ion the orbiter. Like iron man preparing a new armor for a mission

Or go as far as gearmatrix went and allow the frame to straight up make a multiple guns and even give them to allies

I am going to leave the current concept as is, just change the theme to a demolitions expert frame. I have a few unused ideas the I will piece together into an actual forge frame. It will use an energy alternate and focus more on squad support than DPS.
