Melee Weapon Concepts (Non-Slash)

[KidMemphis]

Aside from the wide variety of Slash-based weapons DE tends to cling to, what are some weapons you'd like to see adopted and implemented by Warframe that deal primarily IMPACT or PUNCTURE damage?

I would like to see a chain based whip style weapon that is Impact Based.

One of my ideas includes a War Spear similar to this one with Puncture-based damage:

Kind of like a flail?

...or like an Impact-based Atterax?

more hammers sound great. I want a graviton hammer stylized like the corpus.

maybe something looks like rapier or lance/spear for puncture dmg? :>

Shotgun-Gauntlets

 

Leg-only melee

 

Leg-only melee but with added guns

 

Sub Machine Gun-Sparring

 

Can't you tell I love gun-melee combos?

My other idea would be to add new weapons stances that change the attack styles in such a way that the primary damage method would shift (i.e. slash > puncture or puncture > slash) allowing the weapon to be wielded in a totally different manner.

Example:

A player wielding the Orthos Prime would unleash a volley of jabs with the weapon instead of swinging it from side to side thus changing the method of delivering damage
