Unique Mechanic: Instead of energy, he has "Ammunition" that regenerates the resource overtime up to the max capacity and can alsobe  "overcharged" similar to Overshield once he pick up more sources of energy or ammo which affected the abilities' strength, once it cast, it will consume large sum of excess Ammunition. Ammunition's regeneration and overcharge are affected by larger energy pool or efficiency and can be gained when picking up ammo drops (depending what ammo type) and energy orbs.

2nd Ability "Packs" (Hold): He has three different pack he can drop and use for himself and his allies; Ammo Pack, Armor Pack, and Field Pack:

• Ammo Pack: Drops a pack that gives Status Chance, Critical chance and Critical Damage, while granting ammo. For himself does not refill his Ammunition but has more 25% better buffs than his team.

• Field Pack: Drops a pack that grants a Health and Shield regeneration, and Status immunity.

 

 

3rd Ability "Claymore Drones": Throws down a pad that spawns a small flying Claymore drones that will swarm enemies, the drones shoots enemies but once they ran out of their ammo they will charge themselves at the enemies exploding with high Blast damage, enemies who survived from the blast reducing their armor. The pad will spawn and replaces drones that have been destroyed, it can only spawn to eight drones and it will keep spawning until the duration ends or place another pad.

Old Version

3rd Ability "Rally" (Re-castable): Inspires allies by increasing movement speed, less friction slide, reload speed, and holster speed. Enemies who is in his area of influence will make their morale wavered causing them to reduce attack speed and increased damage vulnerability.

 

4th Ability "Heavy Guns" (Hold): Summons an exalted Arch-Gun that can become a static turret (holding down X) for better stability and bolstered defense or pack up and carrying like a regular Arch-Gun. It requires to spin up to fire. It has three interchangeable forms that he can able to shift between modes at will:

• Ripper: A fast firing machine gun that deal high Puncture and Slash damage.
• Thumper: An automatic grenade launcher that deal high Blast and Impact damage. Consumes Ammunition two times faster.
• Emitter: Fires a continuous beam that deal high Heat and Slash Damage with high Punch Through. Consumes less Ammunition.

The exalted Arch-Gun can causes to overheat when firing too long causes the shields both of Marine and the Arch-Gun completely depleted, and it will harm him and proc himself with Heat damage but in return his Arch-Gun will fire even harder and faster, and the Ammunition he expended consumes less, this effect become more intense the longer he held down the trigger, it only lasted when Marine depleted his Ammunition or stopped for cooling. This effect exclusively in its static turret form (by holding down X). This ability is also virtually infinite that compliment to his mechanic.

 

 

Marine's signature weapons:

Kalanos (Rifle): A signature rifle of Marine, it held 60 rounds, and mainly deals with Puncture damage and moderate Slash damage. As a bonus for him, have faster Reloading Speed and Critical Chance, it has three fire modes

Per every rank increases by 1 second and 1 missile.

 

 

My thoughts about of his drops may be in his quest or a drop from specific enemies and areas, so a way of his parts can be acquired and a story of his quest that I come up with:

Quote

 

Once his quest is active, Cephalon Cy picked up an unknown distress signal, indicating the signal lasted ever since the Orokin Empire's downfall, though it's fainted, the signal's location can be found somewhere in the Origin System, in order to pinpoint the exact location, the Tenno must find and kill Grineer personnel as it carries a data regarding of that signal, once the data have analyze, it is located in the station residing in the Saturn where its heavily guarded by a elite group of Kuva forces.

Investigating from there, the Tenno spotted a group of prisoners that have been captivated and a heavily damaged Warframe locked inside the vault, the Marine. Releasing him will assist the Tenno in combat despite in his severe state and rescuing the prisoners out in the station, then Cephalon Cy gives an objective to sabotage the station by hacking the data storage where it has a data regarding the Marine, and explode the reactor, and then safely escorting him out, having no time to waste, the Tenno and the Marine managed to damage the reactor but only to be surrounded by several Kuva Guardians and elite soldiers. Nowhere to go, Marine uses his last strength by summoning his exalted Arch-Gun destroying the hull behind him which sucks the Tenno and the soldiers out in the space, which the Tenno helplessly drifts away and watch as the Marine fend off against the horde, as the hole was about to seal the Marine gives the Tenno a salute gesture as a bid farewell, Cephalon Cy having no choice to pick up the Tenno in the Railjack and leave from the station's blast area.

Once they leave, you play as the Marine in his Heavy Guns with a limited time to explode the station, you have to kill Grineers as many as you can, the result doesn't matter whether the Marine dies at the hands of the Grineer or reached the time limit but it has two different endings but the result are sadly the same. Cephalon Cy is disappointed and saddens the loss of that Warframe but he admires his courage and his sacrifice. Once the quest is completed, Cephalon Cy sends the Tenno a message as a gratitude from the prisoners and giving a data that you have recently hacked was actually a blueprint of the Marine, build the Warframe as a honor for his heroic deeds and a closure for the prisoners that Marine have been keeping them alive.

 

His parts can be found in the System by the following:

• Chassis can be dropped by Kuva Elite Lancers or Kuva Troopers in the high level Kuva Fortress missions.
• Neuroptics can be dropped by Kosma Elite Lancers or Raiders in the Empyrean in high level Empyrean missions.
• Systems can be dropped by Tusk Elite Lancers or Tusk Troopers in the high level bounty missions.
• Perimeter blueprint can be obtain by killing a Grineer commander in high level Skirmish missions.

 

This is my first time to share my idea or concept and hopefully DE really needs more unique frames like Protea and Lavos and a neat story like Sevagoth and hopefully Yareli is one of those. So, sorry if there's some grammatical error since English is obviously not my first language. Feedback is nice. And btw, as I wrote this, there's some concepts that has a similar to Soldier-themed Warframes that they already posted a long time ago but I'll post it anyways. Hopefully DE would pique their interested again from community-based Warframe because there's alot of people who post here like this are unique and different and I really wanted to see them to made it in the game just like Xaku does.

This is what Marine looks like along with his signature weapons. Sorry I wasn't that great to make an artwork of him since my drawing skills are amateur

 

His rifle and his pistol:

Kalanos (Rifle): A signature rifle of Marine, it held 60 rounds, and mainly deals with Puncture damage and moderate Slash damage. As a bonus for him, have faster Reloading Speed and Critical Chance, it has three fire modes

• Semi: Allows to zoom, deals higher damage with greater Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and innate Punch Through but low Status Chance.
• Burst: Shoots in a 3-round burst, deals moderate damage with Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and decent Status Chance.
• Auto: Fully automatic, it has a chance of 15% not to consume ammo while firing, deals low damage with lower Critical Chance, Critical Damage but high Status Chance.

Grazch (Pistol): A unique signature sidearm of Marine, it held 20 rounds, mainly deals Puncture damage and moderate Impact damage. As a bonus, have Critical Chance and Reduced Recoil. It has a unique functions in two modes:

• Semi: Increased damage with greater Critical Chance and Critical Damage. Shooting an enemy's head will cause the bullet to bounce into another's head up to 4 times. Shooting at the head will guarantee to stagger them.
• Auto: Rapidly fires with innate Multishot. Allows the bullets to seek enemies but it have to lock on the enemies via player's reticule though with a limited range. It has a 25% chance to not consume ammo.

 

I'll make his Exalted Arch-Gun later, I have alot in my head how to draw it yet.

  

[Emptyblank00]

And here is his Exalted Arch-Gun looks like in a rough concept though. Never mind the missing color on the body parts really sorry about that.

 

 

Summoning his Arch-Gun is making him slightly move slower due to sheer weight compare to other regular Arch-Guns, he can make his Exalted Weapon turn into a turret similar to Grineer's Rampart then project a shield in front of him wide enough to fit entire squad protecting from enemy fire. It is virtually unlimited duration thanks to his Ammunition mechanic, it won't automatically pack up and disappear when it ran out but can still regenerates Ammunition while his ability is active and even can gain from ammo drops and energy orbs.

There's three way from what I've been thinking about his Arch-Gun's special function when emplaced:

A. When his shield is broken, his Arch-Gun shoots faster and harder.

B. His shield absorbs enemy fire and when it breaks it will grant Ammunition and a burst of Energy or more if affected by Ability Strength.

C. It may cause to overheating the Arch-Gun, when it reaches its threshold causes Marine's Shields completely depleted and prematurely procs himself with Heat but in return shoots even faster and harder and progressively becoming stronger while in overheating state until either runs out or stopped for cooling.

I would sugest to edit to the initial post to put the art up-front. Help with visibility. 

The kit is mostly fine, my personal dislike for the theme might be clouding my judment.

The one is perfectly servisable for a first skill, 

The two is fine but I would sugest to reduce ir ro just 2 supply packs for the sake off casting speed ( tap for offensive stuff hold for defensive stuff ) , also add damage and knock down on the drop point off the supply pack for the sake off it would be funny to kill enemies by dropping supply packs over their heads.

The third has one to may buffs , I would suggest to remove the da.age vulnerability debuff and maybe even the reduced attack speed for enemies. My biggest problem with this is a bit out off the sub theme, I could see it on a more world War 1 or 2 solider but the visual on your theme special ops, for the sub theme even hitting yourself with a injection off steroids makes more sense than screaming.

The fourth skill is fine however the feature off swaping firing modes is way weaker than it sounds because off the way modding works, ( expecialized builds.). So I would sugest this to be the only gun capable off swaping configuration in mission , each firing mods uses a diferent mod configuration so you could reliable use it to adapt.

[Emptyblank00]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll change it for some time. But do I have to delete my post and put it on the main post?

You're right, I kind of curious if the Warframe's has two switchable abilities at first then again it would be a visual eyesore, maybe a minimalist icon? But having two is okay.

Fine I'll make his packs little bit lethal but for as long as the pack hit them and ragdoll them off the edge or off the map for silliness.

He's more of a squad leader of a modern soldier than a WW1/2 soldier, but yes his 3 is too much, but also, injecting himself with a syringe is a bit off of my liking, its like taking a shot himself in his legs or something which is outlandish to me to be honest. He's more of hand gesture thing than screaming like a Drill Sergeant. I think my choice of design for him may look like he's some sort of infiltrator and a Nanosuit from Crysis it's actually not because of my favorite color of black and blue, and the inspiration of Galac-Tac Helmet and the 6B43 Zabralo armor, and I try to make him look Tenno-ish but in the end he ends like up that I mention.

I don't get it what you're saying (sorry your spelling and grammar makes me really confused), but I don't know, its seems it's better if they were modded as a single weapon than being separated but also is a great idea as you mention the Arch-Gun can swap with different modes with different mods especially with elemental procs.

This i like!

Wanted to make a suggestion here. I was thinking that the Armor Pack should work similar to Revenants defensive ability where it loses health per damage tick instead of the amount of damage that would have been inflicted onto the player. The armor would instead just apply a % of damage reduction to the player.

This way it can stay useful when enemies get into really high levels. It also would be a bit unique

Sounds okay. 

Personally, I would like this concept a little more if there were more guns or exalted guns in the abilities. They wouldnt have to be modable, theyd just be there for the ability.

Its a 8/10 for me. The only ability i really dont like too much is the 3rd ability. I prefer things more pleasing or entertaining to look at and this doesnt offer much.

Cool concept tho

Thanks, my intention for this frame's abilities and role is to be a versatile and flexible, but having more exalted guns it's a bit too much (maybe Augment Mods, perhaps?), and to be honest, I didn't think for the third ability something good enough to fit something military or soldier related.

What about contextual orders. Give an expecidict oder depending the off the target closest to the cross hair.

For example

Enemy - fire at will order 

Far away objective or ground - March order 

Close by objective or ground - hold the line command  

Would be neat way to bark orders to your allies and a unique mechanic. It would work similar to apex legend ( contextual communication think ) 

The helmet was indeed what gave my futuristic vibes.

The gist off it each mode is modded separately because I've seen one to may firing mods go to waste because it's hard to build a build that supports both firing modes at the same time.

 

[keikogi]

BTW Spoiler tabs arr best used to hide contextual information or details. The initial art work should be displayed right front but there is a point into putting the exalted weapon under a Spoiler tab.

Okay, really new to this format btw. I just thought putting it on the spoilers would make it spacious

I  like the concept, and moreover I like the idea of a gunslinger frame in general. We have Harrow for gunslinging and Valkyr for melee specifically right now, so I'm much in favor of a frame that amplifies weapons.

[(PSN)MrDemigod81]

This reminds me of Ushtar conceptback in the day, BUT he had bladed exalted weapons you should check it out! just as  inventive as yours, I love it! hope one of these two get added

Thanks, I saw his concept back then, but honestly, DE including the concept warframes is a bit of a pipe dream but then again most of DE-made warframe are more tame and somewhat stale compare to our concept.

I agree, warframe used have amazing themes for their frames. sadly, the frames have gotten boring in theme and design! Like this new warframe is a water type we have that with hydroid 

[Emptyblank00]

Added with his Sentinel, maybe I could make another Sentinel with my other concept, Paradigm, later.
