Ideas For The Furis And Afuris

[Aspari]

 

So, let's take a look at the Furis. I'd like to make a point that it's the only Tenno Machine Pistol in the game. It's also the weakest gun in the game compared to other starter guns like the Lato and the Lex. And honestly, I don't like that. Being that it's the only Tenno Machine Pistol it really should have more power so that it doesn't automatically lose out to the Viper or the Cesta. 

 

 

Buffs:

 

Increase damage from 15 physical to 40 physical.

 

Increase Status Proc from 1.0% to 10%.

 

Compensation: Increase Mastery Rank from 0 to 2.

 

 

Other idea:

 

So, I tend to actually like the Furis over the AFuris because going dual wield with a gun with crappy ammo economy is always a bad idea. So while I was using the Furis, I came to wonder about something...

 

What's the point of the foregrip on the Furis if it's never used? For the longest time I thought that was the magazine for the Furis but it turns out that the animation for reloading suggests that it's a foregrip. 

 

Have the Tenno use the foregrip. And if the reload animation is changed later on, allow for the magazine to be used as the foregrip while firing the weapon.

 

Example:

Im using the afuris and it rapes faces and I don't run out of ammo, I don't see the problem

As a 4 forma Afuris user, I can tell you that the gun was lackluster until Lethal Torrent came out.

 

Now it's amazing and my pistol of choice.

Ummm...that's definitely not a foregrip: that's the gun's magazine.

 

Also, the Furis / Afuris is designed to be a Grineer shredder, hence the high Puncture damage and low Impact and Slash damage. Afuris has fairly nasty midrange scatter, so it's better suited against incoming Grineer mobs. Throw Convulsion and Deep Freeze on there and you can deal with Corpus shields with Magnetic damage.

 

Pathogen Rounds can make the Furis / Afuris decent against Infested as well.

The Furis doesn't reload like that portion of the gun is a magazine. If it is a magazine, it needs a new reload animation.

[MirageKnight]

It definitely looks like a magazine to me - and yeah, a new reload anim would be in order in that case. To be honest, I never paid attention to the reload for the Furis so I can't really comment : /

40 physical damage ???

With that ROF ??!

That will trounce Vastos and Magnus out right.

Nah impossible.

The furis/Afuris are meant to be steady and fast damage with low ammo economy to compensate. Its advantage over the viper is a bigger clip=steadier dps. Viper has a low clip but shoots faster with a little more damage = high burst dps 
And it actually has gone up from 14 to 15 damage now if I recall its old stats right, a big difference for a gun of its low damage level.
I'd recommend a crit chance boost up to 7.5 or 10 percent for it.

The other thing about the Viper is that it's tooled for use against Corpus and (to a limited extent) Infested with its higher Impact and Slash damage compared to Puncture.
