MoyuTheTrinity Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 My favorite gun since I joined the closed beta I have never put it down even when stronger varients tried to take it's place it is always diffrent enough to feel better for me The bronco was its first enemy. Then the kraken. Then the vasto. The magnus not so much. Even the dual lex could not replace you. Last the marelok was all like I AM A BRAK AND A LEX then it misses everyshot cuz it cant shoot straight. The question stands. Are you corpus grineer infested or tenno? it can't be corpus it uses bullets? it can't be grineer it isnt ugly? it can't be infested it isnt crazy weird? it can't be tenno it isnt ornate enough? WHAT ARE YOU D: What skin do i look forward to the vandle the wraith the prime THE DEX? DEX LEX 2015?! that is way to long of a wait Q~Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoidPunch Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I find I'm a Grineer weaponry supporter... Karak, Manticore, Jat kittag, and Brakk... some of my most favorite weapons in the game by far. Although I like a bit of each, Corpus is my least favorite so far though. But yeah I feel the same with my Manticore ax. I've had that thing since update 8 and still use it more then any other melee.. it looks and feels great to me. Sadly it is outclassed but I don't care.

Paradoxbomb Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I believe it's a Tenno weapon. Not all of them are very ornate, just look at the Burston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un1337ninj4 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Considering the Braton is an old Corpus weapon that they literally throw away in favor for the Dera, I'd say the Lex is a Corpus Forsaken weapon too. (Braton bit confirmed a very long time ago by DE) Bratty got Vandal, expect Lex to get Vandal >:3 Edited March 30, 2014 by un1337ninj4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coren024 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The lex is tenno. You can tell by the double version. Grineer = Twin, Gremlins, vipers. Corpus = Dual, Cestra. Tenno = Ak, Lato, Stilleto, Vasto, Magnus, Lex... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouvo Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 all the weapons you use are made by tenno, except primes, some of them are based on or inspired by other sources however and created in our labs, just like the warframes. Everything we use(aside from primes) is based off of something else and then mass produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coren024 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This is actually a good point that I never noticed before. They actually didn't always have it, If I remember correctly the AkVasto was named Dual Vastos for a while, though it was later changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nintega Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'll have to guess that it's like the Braton: Corpus manufactured for Tenno use. There's Tenno weapons, like Boltor and Tigris, Corpus weapons like Dera and Cestra, Grineer weapons like Grakata and Viper, then there's those Corpus made weapons that other factions use. Which makes sense, arms manufacturing is a profitable business, especially in times of conflict (like Warframe always is in). Braton, Burston, as well as Lex, guns like those are what I assume to fit in that category, of weapons made by Corpus for the use of others.

Deidaku Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Probably Corpus made since we can buy it like the braton +it's very square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken_Child Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Its VERY similar to the M1911A1 (that one classic american pistol for those who don't speak gun). But the faction is Tenno. Edited March 30, 2014 by Drunken_Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Braton bit confirmed a very long time ago by DE) Bratty got Vandal, expect Lex to get Vandal >:3 buuut that is outdated information the last vandal could have been prova wich is a definitve corpus the brandle and landle are from the clost beta and are the first after the limited time founder primes to be exclusive event stuff before all this hullablaloo started they could be done with it and cut their losses for concistancy I am feerful they will remove the lex like the snipetron and not even give us a vandle :( then everyone will have to deal with sub par and/or inaccuret magnums and possible a laser lex to replace the new lex in the corpus clan tech Q~Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar_Wolf Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I believe the Lex is a weapon that was manufactured by the Corpus for use by civilian factions, law enforcement and planetary defense forces and such. Same with the Burston and Braton. We don't see people use them much because, well, the Corpus and Grineer are the only militant human factions we have encountered. If we were to encounter other human factions, I bet they would use those weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othergrunty Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Lex is a third party developed weapon, just like the Burston. And NO, the Burston is not a Tenno manufactored weapon, even though it is based on an Orokin tech weapon. Okay, first the real life explanation. The Lex is a left over gun from the 2012 alpha phase of Warframe, which Steve once showed in one of the lifestreams. Apperently in the early prototype stage of the game they only had very generic "modern" looking guns, in the selection. It was simply the test dummy for the "pistol" category. At some point they went with putting in the more funky looking guns we have now, yet somehow the Lex managed to stick around over the other generic weapons. As a result however the Lex looks nothing like any other gun in the game because of it's more modern design. It's the same reason the Burston does not fit into the existing factions aesthetic. It's from an early design phase when Grineer had a more symetric and industrial look to them. Now for the in game explanation. The Lex's design disqualifies it from belonging to any of the existing factions. Same goes for the Burston. However why should we worry our heads off over how a weapon could qualify as being produced by one of the existing factions, rather than to just say it's from a third party, which is less technological advanced or crazy on the aesthetics. It makes perfect sense and doesn't need further explanations on why it does not fit a faction. There are more than just Tenno, Infested, Grineer and Corpus. DE has just not moved a finger to make that clear ingame. Edited March 30, 2014 by Othergrunty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralArmchair Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 While the ak- prefix for the aklex implies that the lex is a tenno weapon, my opinion is that the Lex is an older weapon that was adopted by the Tenno rather than a weapon designed by the Tenno. In a way it is like the M1911. This firearm design is still in use over 100 years after its design and in the opinion of many it is one of the best pistols ever designed. I will not be surprised if the 1911 is still use in another 100 years. In the same way, I imagine that the Lex pistol predates the Tenno and the Orokin Empire. Newer equipment has been designed by all of the major factions in the game according to their own specific design philosophies, but the Lex persists through the ages.

ArchiusPendragon Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 In all honesty, I /adore/ my Lex. It's my go-to side-arm.I also kinda am kissing up to the Braton and the Paris.I want to take a spin at making this gun more... Corpus-ey, and another more Grenier-esque varient.I'll dabble about in 3DS Max, maybe post in my own thread once I get them done ( Don't worry, I'll make a reply here once I get them done, if I have time to work on them ) and see if people like a heavy-caliber pistol that's designed for the look of the other factions.Dunno, all I know is I won't texture 'em. I don't do textures. They're a nightmare for me >~< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikolaiLev Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 it can't be corpus it uses bullets? Corpus weapons do use bullets. The Braton is a visibly corpus weapon, even if it's not used by the Corpus. It's also worth noting that Corpus weapons all deal physical damage, despite the projectiles' appearances.
