BrazilianJoe Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 So, now Grineer have this nifty Atterax whip. Scorpion, that nice lady, now has a weapon fitting for her personality and charm in the Grineer inventory. She deserves better than that lowly machete. Now that we are at it, replace the cattle prods the Grineer carry, and give them machetes, which is one of the lousiest melee weapons in the game.

Imaru Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Maybe, or replace their hook thing with the Atterax and let them keep the Machete. That said I like your idea a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidPunch Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I agree, that was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw there was a new Grineer whip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Grineer carrying Provas or cattle prods make no sense. Machete FTL (for the lose) ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I was thinking that the Atterax could be given to some kind of Grineer inquisitor/interrogator. Maybe he would be the "boss" of a timed stealth mission where you have to rescue an informant before the interrogator kills him with the Atterax, and then you'd have to fight said interrogator on his ground. But this idea isn't bad either. Now that we are at it, replace the cattle prods the Grineer carry, and give them machetes, which is one of the lousiest melee weapons in the game. They're probably getting replaced by the Sheev, since it is called "grineercombatknife" in the game's data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Supposedly the Atterax is an execution weapon, so give it to "Grineer Executioners" and put them in rescue missions like Noble_Cactus suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 There are tons of weapons that are supposed to be Grineer (and Corpus) which for some reason are exclusive to the Tenno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasmir Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 But Grineer carrying Provas or cattle prods make no sense. Machete FTL (for the lose) ! I guess sheev will take their place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othergrunty Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) So, now Grineer have this nifty Atterax whip.

Now that we are at it, replace the cattle prods the Grineer carry, and give them machetes, which is one of the lousiest melee weapons in the game. I'm pretty sure the Scorpion name is because of their harpoon attack. Also since the Sheev was among the "grineer combat knives" artwork, i think it's going to replace the cattle prods for the Grineer as disarmed weapon. However the Flameblade is in dire need of finaly getting his own signature weapon, i suggested giving them flaming sawblades but that thread went into limbo even before it reached it's second page. Just imagine seeing one of them dissapear in your view and then hearing the sound of a ciruclar saw behind you. An elite version of the Scorpion could be created to wield the Atterax though. We could always go back to the sawblades. The Butchers just don't have the same feel to them. Sawmen were weak but at least you had the feeling you didn't wanted them to hit you.

BrazilianJoe Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 It was about time some Grineer weapons were added, the Dojo Labs had too many empty storage boxes in the Grineer Labs. The Machete should be the standard weapon for all light units. The pipe torque/can opener could be the weapon for heavy units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatchias Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 What about this instead: Scorpions carry the Atterax. Butchers carry the Machete. Flameblades carry Dual Sheevs which proc flame damage. Lancers/Everyone else carry Cleavers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrykenji Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 There are tons of weapons that are supposed to be Grineer (and Corpus) which for some reason are exclusive to the Tenno... THIS. the AI units need some variety in their weaponry rather than the same 4 guns per faction imagine a heavy corpus miniboss with a penta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.Katsura_999 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) The atterax has a high status chance and crit chance. Beware of the high dps bleed procs. other than that you have all my YES!!!! Edited September 21, 2014 by H.Katsura_999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethice Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 We could always go back to the sawblades. I've been talking about this from time to time with my friends and sawblades were a lot more terrifying than the kitchen staff the Grineer throw at us now. In my opinion Scorpions should get Atterax, Butchers should be made back into Sawblades or something of the like and the Flameprods or whatever those units are called should get Plasma Sword as it does enate electric damage and is Grineer is design.

MirageKnight Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I like the idea of changing up some Grineer melee weapon options. So something like... Sheev: Standard combat knife of all ranged troops. Lancers, Troopers, Commanders, Seekers, even Bombards, Napalms, and Heavy Gunners. Machette: Butchers, Scorpions Atterax: Perhaps a variant of the Scorpion with no grappling attack? I'm thinking a weapon like that would be perfect for an overseer type unit on rescue maps. I also like that suggestion for giving Plasma Swords to Flameblades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrazilianJoe Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 DE, Give Scorpion some love! Skeevs for the other enemies, and the Atterax for Scorpion. She would look nice with that spunky whip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valafor Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah. I actually really like this idea. Maybe replace the Prova from all Radial Disarmed enemies with a sheev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
