I would also like to see a scythe, but a biger/ longer one then the ones already in game, for a more deathy fell, the one we have is so short if you compair it to ones seen used by meny dispictions of death, but i have no artistic talent

[-LND-BlaizerCZ]

What about Poleaxe ?

[Wevi]

A Weapon that can swap between a massive arm shield and a drill lance.

[RB-377]

Nice, I can imagine some nice concepts coming from creative Tenno out there! Can't wait to see what pops up!

[Swaggilicious]

Small idea: that blood reaper from shadow fight 2

that made me think of the idea for a large heavy sheald like gauntlet, on one hand, for slow but high damege attacks, visulizing it in my head it would not work that well with existing first wepions more like a hammer the way it would have waight behind the swings, any ways stupid idea on my part 

[Methanoid]

Any old faction: Runescape style Shieldbow type wpn would be nice, just attach a crap bow to a shield, grips like a shield, wpn has spikey bits so goes all stabby stabby, slash slash, alt fires like a bow/xbow, looks like a shield, operates like a gunblade.

[(PSN)mrnarnar]

A good idea would be to make another split sword but using the fang and pangolin sword.

Mutalist Dragon Nikana:

Spoiler

Derived from its original concept thread , if your curious on the origin 

 

Faction: mutalist/infested
Brief Description:

the once majestic dragon nikana has become warped due to infestation spores, its grown and evolved into something more ..

when the sword is drawn the sheath roars like an ancient and stuns nearby enemies for a short duration & area 

when performing charge attacks, the sheath will spew spores onto inflicted targets by the blade

dealing status procs of toxic that leaves behind a gaseous cloud for a short time

mainly to be used with quick draw single hand attacks to make use of the sheaths effect 

grip style is nikana 
Original Artwork: 

Design:

Effect in use:

Faction: Grineer (Kuva)
Brief Description: The Kuva Scythe is a weapon that combines the Kesheg and the Broken scepter in order to create a scythe with power over life and death, it will have two forms that will use the Flailing Branch stance for Staves. It will have a staff primary form where the blade is distended and placed away, and thena secondary activated by an alt-click to become the full Kuva Scythe. It is adorned with a grineer mask and chained Kuva braids, and comes with a base red/black design.

guys its existing weapon types that are in the game for those that are thinking about making concepts for new weapon types

 

[(PSN)Regiampiero]

Wait. What's a contest without a prize? 

[(PSN)TheToastMage]

i really want like a gun blade that was made from torn up tenno parts and it would shoot little glaives and have two spikes on the front and it would attach to your arm kinda like a shield but i cant draw so can someone make it into a concept art 

[Sannidor]

Re-applying my old entry from previous contest which was ignored despite great number of upvotes as nunchucks shipped to China.

Not salty at all but yeah, I still want SLASH nunchucks. I can apply electric damage on top on my own, thank you very much.

FACTION: Orokin/Tenno

NUNCHUCKS, slash damage with blades extending on attack for extra reach. Extra finisher and stealth attack animations would be great, maybe a new stance?

So what about people who Don't have a way to create a melee 

[lightdragon64]

I'll throw in my Rapier design from here

Name: Iris, as in the flower. (ignore name in concept art, was placeholder)

Faction: Tenno (lotus)

Grip type: rapier

Description: created in order to bring the likeness of the lotus into the battlefield this rapier brings both a fabulous demeanor to the battlefield and terror for enemies impaled by its sharp bite.

3D model for better visual of the hand basket (all floating parts are held magnetically in place)

Orignal concept here:

[An8rchy]

Faction: Infested

Type: Sword And Shield

Brief Description: Using a Sharp bone as a sword, this weapon would deal slash and toxin dmg as base, The shield is a shield ran down by a zit. It would attack fast but not deal a lot of dmg, Holding alt fire would throw the shield creating a cloud of gas for 60 seconds, While the shield is thrown you change to a sword stance (the default one). The "sword" would be drawn behind the shield.
