[Weapon Concepts] Derelict Weapons

[Kai]

These weapons were known throughout the Orokin Empire, some were revered or held only those deemed worthy but now they have been tainted with the Infestation when the ships carrying these treasures failed the jump. Be careful when you wield these weapons, Tenno.

 

Derelict Weapon

Derelict Weapons are basically Primed Weapons that has been affected by the Infestation despite being sealed within the ship's vaults. The Infestation has replaced some of the weapon's power in exchange of a more 'Organic' and 'Alive' factor for the weapons.

 

1. Devourer - A unique blade of orokin designed known only to those who wield the status of the executioner. Now the infestation has twisted these blade to an amalgamation of is name, a second living blade protrudes from the hilt, literally devouring those that were cut by these weapon.
2. Ballista - A bow used during the orokin war, a siege weapon capable of impaling multiple enemies in a single shot or destroying any defensive structure. The infested seeped through its arrows and now creates a web-like tendons on each fire, ensnaring foes caught before manually impaling them into its arrow tip.

So far these are the only weapon ideas I have, feel free to suggest more.

Um... do you know what "derelict" means? What you described would just be Infested weapons, plain and simple.

[Kai]

They're more in the line of hybrid weapons between Prime and Infested - akin to that of Orokin Derelict. Similar to Mutalist Quanta which is a hybrid of Corpus and Infestation, the first of its kind.

Pretty sure the Mutalist Quanta just counts as an Infested weapon as well. Plus, "derelict" just means "abandoned", it doesn't denote any special "orokin + infested" combination.

The weapons you suggest would really just be infested and mutalist weapons, with Orokin cosmetic underneath. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I doubt they'd need a separate moniker of their own.
