Question About Afuris In In-Game Marketplace.

[CedarDpg]

Ok, so I've noticed the pattern of Weapon X being single-handed and AKWeapon X being double-handed. Is there a reason that there's Furis and AFuris versus AKFuris?

 

Is the AK supposed to be short for Avtomat Kalashnikova i.e. AK-47, etc? Or is it something else in the Warframe world?

akimbo,  is what it means

"Ak" just means "Akimbo". Another word for duel welding a weapon. Hence, Akfuris.

it's Afuris however, not AKfuris

it is labeled Afuris not Ak....that is probably what he wants to ask?

I've always somewhat assumed/guessed that the AK was in reference to the whole use of the term "akimbo" to refer to dual wielding guns.  As for why the AFuris doesn't follow this trend, I honestly couldn't tell you.  Probably just an oversight or mistake.

 

AK is utilized when a weapon is Tenno.  Akbolto

Twin is for Grineer doubles.  Twin Vipers

Dual is used when it's a Corpus sidearm pair.  Dual Cestra

 

Edit;  It just sprung up in my memory that the AkBronco was actually called Dual Broncos a long time ago.  So yeah, just chalk it up to a minor mistake that nobody has bothered fixing.

Either someone forgot to press the K key one sleepy Canadian morning or they just thought "Afuris" sounded better.

 

Either way we all know it denotes the dual wield trait.

Ah, akimbo. Makes sense. Haha, yeah, basically was wondering if it was a typo or something mainly.
