Unexplored Weapon Type Variants

[Exodess]

I wanted to compile some ideas for weapon variants that haven't been included in Warframe's already diverse arsenal. Not all of these are serious, obviously - but it's food for thought.

 

--Shoulder-Mounted Weapons

--Chainsaws!

We can already shoot them with the Miter. Why not go to town with one in melee?

 

--Weapon Arms / Worn Weapons

Gun Arm: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100810103721/finalfantasy/vi/images/e/ed/Barret_Wallace_Nomura_art.jpg

Mega Buster: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/zeUpyymjac0/0.jpg

Crab Claws: 

Chainsaw Arm (you knew this was coming): http://www.ereplacementparts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/chainsaw1.jpg

 

--"Blade Below the Shoulder"

Reverse Blade: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v705/ken_washio/MAX_GUYVER3-04.jpg

 

--Bladed/Gun leggings

I couldn't find a picture that highlighted this idea, but the premise is a kick-based animation set with blades or guns attached to the heel. Bayonetta uses such a fighting style, depending on her loadout.

 

--Tail attachments?

Melee Swinging: 

(The tail gets cut off in this scene, but the motion/combat use is what I'm aiming to describe. Think of it as a variant of the Whip with a more dance-like motion)

Tail-mounted Laser (Still looking for an image for this one)

 

--Harness/chest-mounted weapons

 

--Freakin' Eye/Head Beams!

An open-palm Obex-variant?

 

--Rocket Punch

...now I'm just being silly.

 

More to come!
