Caernarvon Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) This oversight has been there for a damn long time now. It used to be fine because the Grineer didn't have weapon models and them reusing Tenno weapons was a stopgap measure. But now that they have their guns, everyone but the Shield Lancers (edit: Troopers too, but they have no proper gun so far) use Grineer arsenal. Will they ever use the Viper, which I suppose was made for them since it isn't used by any other unit and fits their gun type? Or did the devs forget about those guys completely?

inorite3 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 everyone but the Shield Lancers use Grineer arsenal. Grineer Troopers use Tenno shotguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caernarvon Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Grineer Troopers use Tenno shotguns. Oh yeah. But a new Grineer shotgun is coming soon. I understand that they don't use the other Grineer boomstick because it's linked to a boss (Vay Hek), but this one will probably (and hopefully) replace their current placeholder.

Lady_Khaos Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've been wondering about this too. I don't get why they don't use the Viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalGerbil Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 probably just a balance issue. it gives them some firepower and range without being bursty like the vipers. which would be annoying for a a guy walking around with a shield to have that much brust. im sure they will replace that eventually as well. beta is beta.

Well if they don't give the Shield Lancers Vipers, then they could at least make a Grineer style Sicarus skin. I'd get a second Sicarus just for that.

UncommonUnicorn Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 So why not give them a Kraken? Its burst-fire like the Sicarius, but a grineer design. Then again, Seekers are already using that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on, they're weak as hell enemies. Giving them a bit of close range firepower would make them better to face, as in more interesting.
