That1Guy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The Detron lacks proper animations and even lacks the metal look it had in the art for Gravidus and in its icon in the inventory. Currently it looks more like its just painted a color and does not look the part and could definitely use some better texture and mesh quality to show it is metal and not a painted plastic toy. The animation is also lacking in the fact that the reload animation is you throwing in an invisible magazine into your hand and it ejects a batter with a non matching energy from a battery in the weapon. The Brakk from Gravidus has a bunch of animations and shows that DE put a lot of effort into it everything from the rotating cylinder to how it has small parts close up when firing. The Detron I would suggest could use some new animations like a proper reload animation and even small details like heat exhaust coming from the weapon (its an energy weapon like a laser pistol) I would imagine this would fit the weapon decently. TLDR: Detron could use some detail and love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toom1275 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Since Gradivus was so blatantly rigged to favor the Grineer victory outcome, perhaps the Detron didn't get as much care when it was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caernarvon Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The Brakk from Gravidus has a bunch of animations and shows that DE put a lot of effort into it No. It uses the generic pistol reload animation where it slaps an invisible magazine into the grip. The Brakk lacks proper animations outside of the little flaps and the spinning mag (which breaks when firing fast anyways). Both guns need work.

[DE]JohnnyBoomstick Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I agree;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWargiCorgi Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I agree;-) So can we expect animation changes and tweaks to both Detron and Brakk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrkong Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 So can we expect animation changes and tweaks to both Detron and Brakk?Detron needs a lot more TLC then Brakk right now, well actually a lot of weapons do. Brakk has one of the most complex, if not most complex reload animations, in the game right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetSlayer Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Did you know that if you reload the detron you see 6 bullets eject? yet the clip size is 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Detron has the exact same reload animation as the Brakk. The Brakk didn't get more TLC on that regard... Both the Brakk and Detron display a 6 cartridges barrel, yet only hold 5. The Detron could indeed use a more "metallic" finish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Brakk and Detron display a 6 cartridges barrel, yet only hold 5. The Detron could indeed use a more "metallic" finish though. Exact same? Last I checked Brakk had an animated spinning cartridge and parts that fan out when you reload while Detron used the stock reload animation and spit a cartridge out. Maybe my game's been grabbing some random dev files by mistake then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakl635 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Do some of the Animation team prefer working at night? You all seem to be the ones to post later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopStricken Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The Detron could indeed use a more "metallic" finish though. A problem with most Corpus weapons, I find - any colour that isn't greyscale just makes them look like cheap plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namacyst Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The weapon has a unique anim but not the avatar.. I will create custom reloads when I get a chance Can we get a little slice of buff with it? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeannachaidh Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Can we get a little slice of buff with it? ^^ Err, buff? It is probably the most powerful pistol in the game. I would take the Detron to T3 Void over most primaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmahunter Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Both the Brakk and Detron display a 6 cartridges barrel, yet only hold 5. Detron's cartridge might just be a 6 x CC battery pack. (not sure how corpus label their battery sizes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pundit Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Currently it looks more like its just painted a color and does not look the part and could definitely use some better texture and mesh quality to show it is metal and not a painted plastic toy. I agree and think this applies a bit to Tetra and Penta as well. But then again, the Corpus weapons should look different from say, Grineer and Tenno. Still I get a plastic vibe from them. Just my two cents.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That1Guy Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) in response to TheSeannachaidh the Brakk totally outclasses the Detron if they did buff it I would say they should just add some of the three damage types but not as much as the Brakk that way it doesn't just get replaced Edited February 11, 2014 by That1Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
