Grinner & Corpus Style

[The.Night.Wolf]

Hey guys I've been working on fleshing out my Warframe designs and I need some help since I've been gone for nearly a year.

A) What are usable Grineer Warframes, Weapons, Attachments, etc.?

B) What are usable Corpus Warframes, Weapons, Attachments, etc.?

I want to look at their design so I can draw better and figure out their themes for future use but the current application will be making faction styled loadouts (ie: corpus weps and attachments)

BONUS:

C) What are usable Infested Warframes, Weapons, Attachments, etc.?

[Weidro]

grineer armor: Harkonar

corpus armor: Dendra

infested armor: Iliac

grineer syandana: Vaykor, Vanquished, Rath Kittag, Harkonar

corpus syandana: Secura, Opulas

infested syandana: Iliac

for frames so far saryn is the only frame that u can fit in a theme like this she is infested but still somewhat tenno style

weapons are quite a few propably to many to list them all here

but ill try to make a few categorys appart from the stuff the enemys use themselfs

grineer: everything with wraith (and ofc the normal version aswell), everything with vaykor (and normal version), dont forget vay heks backscrater sheev

corpus: everything with vandal (and ofc the normal version aswell), everything with secura (and normal version)

infested: all the stuff with tentacles, teeth, claws and shrooms on it oh and ofc all living weapons

this is a good place to see a picture of all weapons very easy and quickly and u should be able to tell very quickly if a weapon is grineer, corpus or infested style

(there are more styles than that e.g. tenno, orokin, sentient, ... )

Chances are that we will never get a Grineer or Corpus Warframe. Saryn/ Prime is already kinda Infested.

But either way, Grineer would be very industrial in design, somewhat bulbous, shiny, and lots of knobs and stuff.

Corpus would be very futuristic, minimalist, and steel. Lots of straight lines and energy patterns.

This is the answer, pretty much. All Warframes right now (and very likely into the future) will always be Orokin/Tenno in design. They'll have other inspirations for sure, but their overall design will remain with Orokin/Tenno. 

In several Art Devstreams, the Devs on the Art Team have gone into detail several times about the visual design of factions. Grineer are bulbous and asymmetrical, whereas Corpus are full of straight-lines, hard edges, and symmetry. For Infested, they're design is essentially organic/diseased looking stuff mixed with the other themes of the Grineer and Corpus.

For identifying what item belongs to what, you can often tell which faction "owns" it by the name. Grineer typically name things with harsh, abrupt spelling. For example: "Brunt, Harkonar"; They make frequent use of the letter K, I've noticed. The Corpus very often have things that end in "-a". Example: "Lecta, Supra, Dera".

Thanks a lot!

Also found the Mag looks good for Corpus, Ember/Rhino looks good for Grineer and Valkyr is cool for both. Seems the style is affected by the faction they drop from.

[MonkeyWaffles]

Here's a good look guide for the factions:

Grineer has a bit of a dieselpunk look to them, something along the lines of 1940's retrofuturistic tech, like Maschinen Krieger, with somewhat ovoid shapes and lines. They also have an old and poorly maintained feel to it, abit cobbled up here and there.

Corpus has a tinge of Art Deco feel to it, with a lot of square and angular shapes, as well as sleek flows. They have a new, bright look to them.

Infested is more random-organic, very Tyranid / Zerg, and a bit cthulhu-esque old-gods for their older forms.

[Arkvold]

If you want to get a feel for each faction's aesthetics, it's best to look at their gear and who uses it.  I've taken the liberty of compiling a list of each faction's gear and who uses it for you.

GRINEER

In addition to these, there are a number of weapons that use Grineer aesthetics or obvious Grineer technology, but are not actually used by the Grineer in the field.  Many of these are available from the Tenno Chemical Lab, which focuses primarily on Grineer-style ballistic and chemical-based technology.

They include

Melee Weapons

In addition to these, the Corpus are responsible for creating a great number of weapons that their troops do not utilize.  They can typically be found in the Market or the Tenno Energy Lab, which focuses on building Corpus-technology weaponry.  These include:

• Braton and MK1 Braton (Though based on the Orokin Braton Prime, the standard versions of these rifles are produced by the Corpus and follow Corpus aesthetics)
• Opticor (heavy laser cannon)
• Tetra (Energy-based assault rifle)
• Amprex (continuous chain-lightning emitter)

• Secura Dual Cestra (Perrin Sequence syndicate variant of the Dual Cestra)
• Obex (Knuckle and toe attachments, for melee combat)
• Serro (ship-carving tool turned polearm)

Finally, there are Vandal and Prisma variants of many of the above weapons, including the Braton Vandal, Snipetron Vandal, Prova Vandal, Quanta Vandal, Dera Vandal, and Prisma Tetra.

Corpus-designed cosmetic items include:

• Dendra armor pieces (purchased from the Market for platinum, individually or part of the Dendra Armor Bundle)
• Porta armor pieces (purchased from the Market for platinum, individually or part of the Porta Armor Bundle)
• Opulas Robe (Syandana, purchased from the Market for platinum)

NOTE TO FUTURE READERS: This list is as accurate as I knew how to make it at the time I wrote it.  It may not reflect additions or changes to the game at later dates.
