Hamiradon Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 So, i heard about half a year ago or more that a bunch of new gunblades were on the way, and man, i patiently waited for those little buggers, seemingly to no avail. I actually took a long break from the game hoping that some new badass weapons would be added, non prime mind you, when i returned. But the only ones i have found fancy over the last year has been the rubico and dual toxocysts. So does anybody have any idea what happened to the development of new gunblades? Or rather why is it so incredibly hard to just add one sniper/rifle type gunblade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolaireTheSunWalker Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 The one that was coming was called the sarpa, not sure where you heard a bunch of them were coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine my disappointment when i discovered the new weapons were some pitiful knifes, that were also shotgunish...

Midrib Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Umm http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Sarpa It's ingame and its not really shotgunny. only one that was planned and it was released a while ago.

The combo range attacks are multi pellet based, and otherwise the weapon range is really short. Hardly what a gunblade is in my opinion, but i guess i was too absorbed in imagining a coming Vectis/Galatine hybrid. I dunno man, i just expected so much more out of this concept after the redeemer came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U wot m8 yes I consider it fodder, it just can't compete with what other weapons have to offer sure Hidden Flourish can kill heavy units easily but Lesion can do that without having to do any combos and it can take out all the other trash mobs there's orthos prime, wrecking corpus bubbles all day long, super long range and easy combo stacks Telos Boltace, the best weapon for finding syndicate medalions and clearing star chart, become ember without playing ember secura lectra, superb range and status, and money making The spin to win 2h weapons, and CC hammer the good old newbie friendly dual zoren and atterax can carry new tennos across the starchart and ofcourse there's the other single swords that Destreza competes with that has Slash base damage Broken war - just hold right click and slash away at heavy units with crimson dervish stance Nikana Prime and then also Daggers that has really nice synchs with some warframes so yea that Destreza is fodder to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But comparing everything to everything makes more or less everything fodder from a point of view. Heavy weapons, certainly, and an AoE weapon shouldn't be compared with a single sword. The Destreza to me has devastating damage because of multihit combos, very fast attack speed and its crit viability make it a blending machine with blood rush and body count. If you have pesky enemies that just won't die you use the finisher to take care of them, and even upto and beyond level 100 it continues to rip through enemies, and that's even if you aren't using CP. A weapon with an innovative design, moveset, and such damage potential simply cannot be fodder in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 The sarpa's a burst fire machine pistol with a crap blade attached to it. All in all, it sucks compared to the redeemer. DE made mention of a new primary weapon type that would combine a gun with a big melee, but they gave no indication of when it would see production. Seeing as it's a completely new weapon class, it'll take a lot of work since animations for it will have to be added to every passive animation set. Don't expect to see it for some time.

Blood Rush and Body count makes pretty much anything viable, but it is still mastery fodder atterax for example with bloodrush/bodycount can rip those lvl 100, with even longer range and better crit stats Destreza short range, and have to compete with all the other crit weapons with easier combos, just makes it fodder to a lot of people or just fashion frame, at least it's not a useless weapon, just almost first tier. even these Gun Blades has a special range attack/CC to their arsenal that makes them viable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Knight Raime Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Pretty sure there is a list floating around of things they said they want to do or are going to do. Hell i'm still waiting on that new way to obtain stance mods. They have been heavily busy with the war within for most of this year. And as of right now 2 new warframes are currently in the works. And i've no doubt they've already started working on the next quest (the umbra one) it's all about time versus resource management. DE will no doubt get back to things at some point. With DE for the most part it's never really about if but instead it's all about when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 honestly, I'm not a fan of the Sarpa, or it's stance. I'm waiting on those Spearguns we're supposed to get. 9 hours ago, Hamiradon said: Vectis/Galatine hybrid. I would pay plat for this in a heartbeat.

Berserkerkitten Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 That'd be a cool melee mod for sniper rifles, actually. A fork. Stick a rusty fork on there. Shoot baddies from far away, then stick 'em in the eye with the fork when they get too close. Four-pronged gunblade. It would also make sniper rifles a little less meh.

ChuckMaverick Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I really must dust off my Redeemer and put some more forma on it. I just wish the charged shot didn't move you forwards, it can make it a bit awkward when you're trying to snipe from a precarious position.
