The Best Defense - Melee Creation Contest!

[(PSN)ImmaTrueSpartan]

I think DE's are looking for something new, not a weapon they've got in the game already like the Silva & Aegis or the Mios.

I have an Idea, But I'm saving it for somthing...

[Parzival997]

Name: Spittfire

Faction: Grineer

Weapon Type: Polearm

Look: Blade made of fire on one end and other end has a sort of circle of flame (looking like the porta armor chestplate)

Some kind of specialty: Combos involve lots of spinning and end with blowing a wave of fire out of the circle end.

Edit: Can use the same grip as the zenistar 

I dont care what people think, It should be a status weapon with an AOE fire slam attack. Range should be its priority and should be able to change the element you spit based on its energy color like chroma can.

●    The weapon must use an existing grip. Melee weapon types that are not already in Warframe are not allowed

[(XBOX)Ivan of Jupiter]

Name: Fulgurst (Fulgur being Latin for lightning and the urst being "burst")

Weapon Class: Rapier

Faction: Corpus

Details: This Corpus rapier may seem like it has the shortest range of its melee brethren, but looks can be deceiving. It has a simple design. Main points of interest are it's hilt guard which is a flat hexagonal shape with two prongs on either side of the blade. These prongs arc electricity throughout the blade.

Unique Mechanics: The Fulgurst may have the shortest range for its physical damage, but makes up for it with its own unique mechanics. When the weapon is thrusted the Fulgurst with create a blade of electric energy that shoots forth dealing purely elemental damage. The range is twice that of the Destreza and can be increased with melee range. Due to the energy blade aspect the Fulgurst will also be one of the first melee weapons to make great use of Channeling.

Attack Speed: 1.0

Channeling Cost: 5

Channeling Damage: 2.5x

Critical Chance: 1.0%

Critical Multiplier: 1.5x

Status: 30.0%

Puncture: 45.5

Slash: 20.0

Electricity: 75.0

So, 

Name: Forseti

Faction: Tenno

Grip style: Glaive/Scythe

Description: Deals primarily slash damage with 45% crit chance and 1.5x crit multiplier (by default). Charge attack throws the weapon, but you have to get it back much like the Javlok. Throwing also makes an explosion with slash procs.

I support this. Do this DE. Do it !!!

Hats off to you sir I really hope this wins I always wanted a naginata type of weapon in warframe

[4ever4gotin]

Weapon: "Gun Blade" / Faction: Cephalon (Semaris/Suda or otherwise)

Name: Patalcor (based off of the swords from Jehuty (Zone of the Enders), Gundam Exia (Gundam 00) as well as a historical Indian sword called the "Pata"

Flavour text: A gunblade that is arm holstered, stored on the backhand side, allowing this weapon to be quick and deadly with calculated accuracy. The ranged attack is a single wide projectile that more accurate than its counterparts but has travel time. Designed in the family of other Cephalon weapons (Heliocor, Simmulor, Gammacor), this weapon offers the scientific precision needed to dissect or obliterate subjects.

Mechanics: Ranged attacks (combo's/charged attack) fill enemies with energy and subsequently killing them with a channeled attack refunds energy to your Warframe based off of the number of scan you have of the target.

Added an additional weapon mechanic

Hmm...Is there a way to make a 3D picture (with 3D program,that could use the model in-game)?

[Dragonzzilla]

I'd never win, but I do love some concept design and some ideas are percolating... Perhaps I'll return to this thread when I'm better rested. I'm thinking a repurposed Grineer buzz/chainsaw blade...

[LuxFero]

Name: Celeritas
(one of the four main virtues of the Italian school of swordmanship, acording to Fiore dei Liberi, in his Flos Duellatorum)

Faction: Tenno

Brief Description: Rapier (Destreza). Changes damage type deppending of the color of the weapon's energy (much like Chroma).Charge attack lauches a wave of the selected element/color. (Exalted blade style).

Has Tenno/Orokin langage inscripts across the blade that glows with the energy color. Base damage is only elemental.

FACTION
Grineer (Mios Grip)

DESCRIPTION
This slow-swinging, militarized version of a boarding tool embodies everything about the Grineer approach to warfare; It’s vicious, it’s destructive and serves in multiple functions simultaneously. The superheated, plasma blade can carve through hardened armor, the explosive, weighted end can clear debris and attackers in equal measure and even the heat vents can be used to maim and kill. It is the embodiment of murderous, Grineer ingenuity.

ARTWORK

This is terribly awesome!!!! Absolutely awesome!

[Bryntwulf]

All that's needed is for the grip to be an existing one, right? So can add a weapon that has animations not yet in the game then as part of the model/design, or would I need to stick to something static?

[maxximuxx]

i know i cant win this XD but i just wanted to post my idea

 for a tenno split nuchaku-staff weapon or just a nunchaku with piercing and slash type damage because i love the orthos and even more the shaku  

i called this split-shyru

[(PSN)WickedRaptor17]

(apologies for the bad handwriting, its from my younger brother who also plays warframe, he wanted to try and draw some thing for this entry and this is the best thing we came out with)

WEAPON MAME: The Hajuku

FACTION: Tenno

Weapon type: gunblade

its kind of like a dagger, that also doubles as a ballistic knife 

the way we thought of it was, it acts with a dagger move set, but with a charged shot it shoots the blade kind of like an arrow that's magnetised to the handle, (to explain how you can shoot multiple blades, or it could work like the javlok where you have to go collect the blade, its up to you at the end of the day)

we were gonna make it a glaive, but we thought gunblade would be better because of the weapons design,

i would say it would be 50% puncture and 50% slash, puncture from the blade being shot into the person, and then the magnetism pulling the blade back out with its ridges digging into the target as it exits,

If you are proficient with Blender, 3DS Max, Maya, or any other 3D modelling suite, there are many ways to export it as an image after using the program to create a lighted scene. 

Doing this is usually somewhat similar to the way people create normal maps. 

[prOlegion2]

i think we need spears :D 

Spoiler

 

Fraction : tenno 

or better plasma spear for corpus :D 

 pls I know you want it

•  Chakkar
• Faction - Corpus
• Grip Type - blade and whip

Description - The Chakkar is a Modified chakram with a blade whip wound in the disc. The Chakkar uses a modified energy field generator from the Nullifier crewman at its core, which allows it to be morphed into a blade when channeling your attacks or form a shield when blocking.

having issues putting picture in

[Casardis]

Faction: Infested

Brief Description: An infested amalgamate that evolved into a Gas-breathing hammer, this biological hazard digests matter, turning them into noxious particle bombs to spit at its foes. Combo counter doesn't give damage multiplier, but instead fills its Gas reserve. All attacks that create ragdoll blasts (Shattered Village combo...) send high-status, short-range Gas bombs in an AoE around you.

Explosion is affected by mods, including Reach and elements, but projectile range isn't. Number of projectiles is three times the combo multiplier, rounded up. With 1.5x, it throws 5 bombs.

 

Non-important trivia:

 

Name taken from Sepsis.
Design inspired by Nidus, Caustacyst, Thorac Syandana, the Boiler and the Juggernaut.
The weapon is more of a heavy mace, but for the sake of identifying, as per DE's request in the OP, it's a "hammer."
Image layout inspired by RedSkittlez.

For more details, check the fan concept page.

Added dynamic stage description + gas bomb visuals + Warframe silhouette

[Schielle]

Name: Fornax

Faction:Grineer (heavy blade grip)

Description: Once wielded by the mighty Sargas Ruk, Blade that engulfed with Hatred and Love, Blocking to release its full potential

Mechanism: a standard heavy blade but with unique features, there is two mode of this weapon, Ripper and Bulwark

In reaper mode: Slash damage and higher status chance, no multiplier at blocking or attack, a pretty solid mode

In bulwark mode: Convert all slash and status chance into Impact damage and critical chance with 2.0x multiplier to both of the stats, increase 5.0x critical damage and increase in damage reduction while blocking

How to switch mode: simply fill meter gauge by blocking upcoming attack, once it reach "overheat stage" it will automatically switching mode, while switching mode, doing frontal small 3 meters  frontal radius Aoe blast damage/proc. bulwark mode "overheat" charge will be drained on each weapon hit, guarding will increase gauge both in ripper and bulwark mode.

Design: was taking kohm kinetic spinning "firerate increase the longer you shoot", this weapon is preferably more deadly each time you block, the higher the damage, faster the gauge is filled and overheat charge rewards player with higher damage but eliminating status chance, elemental build heavily affect ripper mode, damage build will benefit bulwark mode

Weapon model:

With warframe (potato quality):

[prOlegion2]

another idea :

sword and shild 

fraction : grineer 

machete + grineer riot shild combo 

( special ability : 100% damage reduction form front if you use block but slow down expect explosions and railgun moas )

and alt fire mod knock-down whit shild just like shild lancer

base damage 50

38 slash 

2 puncture

10 impact 

crit 5% 

knock-down damage 80

status 25 % 

 

 

 

[ClairvoyancePony]

• Onyx
• Faction: Tenno
• Grip Type: Staff or Whip
• Description: This weapon named Onyx can distort energy to lenghten his range to become a powerful whip or can solidify itself to become a destructive staff. This weapon can use the staff stances or whip stances. The cost of energy when channeling can be reduced when having a combo.

 

[SoulOfTheHunter]

Probably not original enough to qualify, but something I'd like to see anyway ;)

Faction: Grineer
Grip type: polearms
Description: Double headed hammer, imagine a Orthos but with Hammers at each end. Half size Jat Kittag head on both ends, fast attack speed maybe 1.2 - 1.3 (2 jet engines after all). Physical damage about 90-110 (mostly impact). Innate Shattering Impact of +4 (stacks with mod). Stance polarity to match Shimmering blight.

Spoiler

Alternatively;
Faction: Tenno
Grip Type: dual swords
Description: Dual morningstars to beat some discipline into the universe. I don't really have any specific thoughts on unique style, maybe a shrunk version of the Jat Kitag. Horsemans hammer also has a nice style.

[Pickles]

The first idea that came to my mind was that all those forgotten categories need some love (vide Hirudo). So here it is - the Utsaha. 

Faction: Infested.

 

A Tenno nunchaku overcome with Infestation with high Slash damage, attack speed, critical chance/multiplier stats and fairly low status chance (10%?). However, upon inflicting a status effect this weapon gains guaranteed Viral procs.
