Mentosftw Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) How does it take 12 hours and a morphic to realize that you can hold two of the same pistols at the same time and use them together? That being said, why does the process repeat if you want to do the same thing with other pistols or if you want another pair of the SAME pistols? Tenno: *stares at two guns and a morphic laid out on the floor* "Hmm..." *12 hours later* "Wait." *throws the morphic away, picks up the guns one in each hand* "My god..."

Feam Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Your Warframe has to register the fact that you are using both hands, and coding that takes a long time. Also, your Warframe has amnesia, so it has to do that again, and again, and again. See? You see how easy it is to make up complete bullS#&$ for excuses why ingame balance =/= realism? Come on, just toss something at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreUr Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Stil less stupid than COD approach - kill tons of people to undestand that you can mount reflex sight, or suppressor, or that you can dual wield some guns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTemplar Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Lore answer: Dual wielding handguns is incredibly difficult and generally impractical. The Tenno are no exception to this. Dual wielding requires specialized equipment to be built that interfaces with the user's warframe, thus allowing dual handguns to be useful rather than an exercise in futility. Regular answer: Dual weapons tend to be an upgrade in this game. Better weapons are harder to get, both from a game progression point of view and a "buy some platinum please" point of view.

SilverBones Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Ohohohoh, I got this! (....although it's BS I just made up.) The Morphics contain the needed biological mutators to allow the Warframe to synchronize the two limbs, allowing for true ambidexterity, rather than just slightly better favoring of an off-hand (found in natural ambidexterity). The biological 'install' process takes 12 hours. ...and you need another gun. BOOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabulb Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Well one way of explaning it would be the process allows your weapons to synergize with each other and benefit from the effects of mods. It would kind of suck if you had to use two sets of mods, one for each gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcarusNine Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Akbolto and Twin Vipers need an orokin cell. You can use aklato as-is. "Here, take this and find me a left-handed Furis". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentosftw Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Oh right orokin cell, sorry about that. Okay then how does that explain that you can buy an aklato right off the store and use it as it without your fancy explanations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintLucifer Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The cell is probably used as some kind of catalyst to change certain weapon parts to make it more suitable to be used on another hand? As for the market, maybe you are buying a weapon from some random Tenno NPC that already upgraded it for you? Or just use some suspension of disbelief and accept as it's?

TheGreyGuardian Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Originally, pistols are calibrated into your warframe's right hand and targeting crosshairs while also housing their own individual mod bay. The second pistol needs to be adjusted and reworked, essentially flipped for your left hand, and then synergized to share a single mod bay. If you just picked up another pistol in your left hand and started shooting, all the shots from that pistol would fly to the left of your crosshair and wouldn't have any mod effects from the pistol in your right hand.

The one you buy right off the market already has the second pistol calibrated and synced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaikelX Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Possible Explanation:The Tenno typically favor the Lato because it is designed to be extremely flexible, making up for its shortcomings in actual combat use. Guns are easily synced and share mods across each other, and an ambidextrous design allows for casings to be ejected to either user's left or right. In addition, the Lato is designed to be lightweight with little to no recoil, making it very easy for the Tenno to duel wield. Other sidearms were not designed to be wielded in tandem, and require an orokin cell in a complicated process that allows the two guns to synch together, and be compatible with the frame's systems. This means that mods installed in one will affect the other. However, the other gun must have room for the mod to "fit" in, essentially, two copies of the mod are installed on a duel wield set, taking up twice the space (The space for "synching" the gun takes up half of the gun's mod space, which is why you can't install twice as many mods). The process is irreversible, once linked, the guns cannot be "unlinked", as this would ruin the modding system. (The resulting gun would have half the mod space, and be pretty damaged to boot) This, coupled with intensive training, allows the Tenno to do in 12 hours what trained soldiers can't do after weeks of training (You try wallrunning and accurately firing akimbo pistols, and see if you can hit anything you're aiming at, or shooting something while falling, sliding, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
