[WARFRAME CONCEPT] Maus - Battlefiled Support

[Jorak_Falconstar]

Maus - Battlefield support

Even with the Tenno and the Warframes to fight for them the Orokin were forced to deploy regular soldiers into the battlefield.  To maximize their combat abilities squads would be accompanied by Maus.  Bringing greater firepower to the field was Maus' speciality, carrying the Grand Slam cannons which were used to supplement normal troops with a lethal barrage of artillery fire to devastate enemy ranks.

Base Health 125 (350 at rank 30)
Base Shield 90  (315 at rank 30)
Base Energy 100 (250 at rank 30)
Armor 190
Speed 0.95
Passive: Increased reload speed and damage with launcher type weapons

 

Appearance

Maus' lumbering gait looks more beastlike than human.  His hunched over posture seems more the result of the weighty cannons than anything.  Standing barely more than shoulder high next to Rhino, but all hard edges and angles like an armoured vehicle of ancient earth warfare. Rising over his shoulders are the twin barrels of the Grand Slam cannons.  Default colours a mix of greens and browns in a camouflage pattern.

Deploys a holographic barricade that provides cover to allies in the area effect by obscuring them from enemy fire

5m diameter field (affected by range mods) [cannot be active at same time as Depot*]

Dropping to one knee and anchoring himself in place with retractable spikes on the back of the wrist Maus unleashes the devastating fire of the Grand Slam cannons.
