GrayArchon Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 As I understand it from reading the patch notes, this is an Orbiter decoration that you purchase from Simaris. It does not get added to the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmetnuter Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The sheath was designed with the intent to ship with the sword but technical difficulties prevented it from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paracesys was designed with a sheath, but it was way too big to be used for warframes in-game, the model was in the game all this time, but they decided to add it as a deco so it wasn't made never to be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr-A Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I still don't understand why this weapon was ever designed with one in mind in the first place. The sheath is the exact same shape as the sword which is too uneven. the sword would never fit into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was designed as the Executioner Blade for Ballas first, then evolved as a warframe weapon, & they kept the sheath with it The very first concept art for Ballas already had the blade with the sheath Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 it does make me wonder what the sheaths and scabbards for other swords/greatswords would look like, and Two-Handed Nikanas as well, but sadly it's far too late to go back and add scabbards to every single blade. it also makes me want weapon decorations, so we can have our guns and blades lying around the Orbiter. I know our arsenal keeps everything tidy, but still.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)DarkoszSagon Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Would be nice if you can interact with this decoration like with the Kubrow or Kavat. For example IF you have the Sword and it is not equipped with the current loadout then the Sword would be in the Sheath and you can pick it up to do some actions with it in the orbiter. Or if you equipped with the Sword then you can put it in the Sheath (or at least try to put it in, because "but it was way too big to be used for warframes in-game" of reason) Would be fun, if you don't have the Sword, but have the Sheath, then the interaction would be like " ͞ \ 😖 / ͞ " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that like we don't already pull our weapons out of thin air if we've got em set not to show when holstered. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Unstar Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 To clarify, this item is not in the market. I've confirmed in-game that it is currently available to purchase from Simaris for standing; if I recall it was 50k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not arguing if I'm literally explaining my perspective on a very relevant effect to the conversation. It is my opinion, which I am entitled to both have and state. There is also the fact this thread is in General Discussion, which is what I'm attempting to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
