Boltbeard Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Dear members of the community. Apologies if this is in the wrong section. I've searched and found nothing. Would it be possible to implement telescopic weapons into the game in some fashion? I personally don't like to see large uberhammers or axes when I design my frames aesthetics. I thought it would be awesome if we could get a staff that extended (think pole lightsaber but without the lightsaber bit!) or perhaps a sword that folds out into a blade (think star trek movie from last year) or other ideas like that. What y'all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserkerkitten Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I dunno. I mean, if a guy is so far away that I have to massively extend and fold out a melee weapon, I may as well just shoot him. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're describing is Primed Reach (without the melee bug) Orthos Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roors99 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The Serro already does this, the head and base of the weapon extend when you pull it out. The Anku and Dual Raza also do this to an extent, the blades of the weapons fold out when readied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phailberry Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We currently have polearms that have some telescopic effects to them, most notably for me the Orthos/Prime. I'll agree on that i would love to see current telescopic weapons being touched up, and future or past weapons having some telescopic effect ^__^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katinka Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I believe the polearms do shorten a bit when stowed but obviously not enough for what you want. The Glaive, Kestrel and Halikar are good as discretely folded away melee weapons. My personal favourite being the Kestrel with the Proto Glaive skin and the Entropy mod as it looks cool and gets a syndicate effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-e-a-r-s Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I dunno. I mean, if a guy is so far away that I have to massively extend and fold out a melee weapon, I may as well just shoot him. :-/ What I think he means is that the weapons get folded into a more compact package when you holster them, like in the Mass Effect series. Some weapons already do that in Warframe but not to a very large extent (Daikyu arms fold, Dual Raza and Anku blades fold, Orthos series polearms shorten when holstered, Silva deactivates and gets stored in Aegis whilst Aegis folds, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukap99 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Telescopic? Don't you mean collapsible? The Anku scythe already does this I think. Although it would be nice if weapons like the Bo staff would collapse when you're not wielding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coatduck Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Off the top of my head, orthos, orthos prime, bo prime and even the glaxion extend when you take them out, as do thrown melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I thought more along the lines of just stretching them a bit. You know, bad guy is too far away, so you stroke your hammer a bit to make it larger or something and then knock em out from 2 miles way. Wait, that didn't come out right...

Vaxillian Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think he means something like this if I am understanding correct. If so, I really wouldn't mind this, but Mios is coming so not sure if they'll ever implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monybags33 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Love to see weapons like this and hope their are more in the future, I'm all up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserkerkitten Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah, that looks pretty cool, actually. Sorry I got the wrong end of the stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully938 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 i think a weapon that builds itself when equipped would be very cool to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)nysudyrgh Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Claw weapons also retract when not in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltbeard Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 While there are some good suggestions, I was referring to having large items on the back, I'd prefer to have a small object, (example staff handle) which can be then extended when switched to to create a bo (insert staff name here) essentially darth mauls lightsaber but applying to weapons that could use them. Like this; Same perhaps could be applied to swords, bows, and so on. Minimalistic more ninja like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltbeard Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 So you're basically saying make weapons we already have more dynamic. Nah, I appreciate that to make changes to the aesthetics retrospectively would be time consuming and unlikely to happen. Id just like to see weapons in the future "evolve" from standard Large axe,sword, pole, jetpropelled hammer. Not everyone likes big in your face weaponry. As for the "mass effect" suggestion earlier, that would be insanely cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
