Faction:

Tenno

Brief Description:

A recreation of an old war relic that was once thought to be lost, along with its master. The Caerudala channels void energy generating a shield to protect the Warframe from all frontal damage. The energy shield can also be used as a thrown melee, capable of projecting multiple glaive like projectiles and creating fields that deal continuous damage to enemies that come in contact with it. This is an embodiment of elegance, intricacy, and the deadly power of Tenno craftsmanship and mastery of the void. (Thrown Melee Grip Type)

definantly one of my top pics!

[GekkoKid]

Faction: Tenno

Type: Hammer (Stance Polarity: Shattering Storm)

Description: An old weapon, used to decimate groups of foes with only a few hits. It's superior reach comes at a cost: It swings quite slow. Slightly above average damage and stats but low swing speed. High chance to stagger. The special thing about it is the high channeling multiplier of 2.5x times, coming from the material it is made of: The Void Trees you see in the Lua Tileset. Aside from this, it looks like a Kanabo-Club used in Japan, dealing mostly impact and some puncture damage. While channeling, the studs and the tip glow brightly. Size is about as high as a Warframe.

Something like this.

And before I forget, why don't you just give the winner his weapon with a slot and catalyst? That's would be a sufficient reward.

I didn't even realize other people had asked for "gunshields" before I even designed mine.

 

Lol, what are the odds?

Could you link it? I'd like to see it.

[Nox_Terminus]

Weapon Type: Hammer
Stance Polarity: Crushing Ruin (Madurai Polarity)
Mod Polarity: 1 Madurai, 1 Naramon

Name: Mandatus (Roughly translates to "mandate" in latin)

Description: "This voracious weapon devours its foes bones and all. Critical strikes release an acidic bile which melts its way through armor."
Total Damage: 144
Impact: 50.4
Puncture: 21.6
Slash: 72.0
Attack Speed: 0.833
Crit Chance: 5.0%
Crit Multiplier: 2.5x
Status Chance: 35%
Slam Attack Damage: 288

Quirk Idea: Deals 50% of weapon damage as corrosive damage with a 100% proc chance upon a critical hit.

Design is a corrupted Magistar (Which at the moment is one of the weakest hammers in the game). I will update the image when I have time to work on it more.

This is not the only blade/whip out there and it looks nothing like it.

By that logic, every submission here is like every other weapon ever created of the same type.

And no, it is nothing like ivy's weapon, i just looked it up, her whip has blades on it.

 

What i want is a Sword that can turn into a whip at a press of a button. 

Nihil novum sub sole, means there is nothing new under the sun, whips swords exist URUMI is a type of whip sword found in india

article http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/indias-deadly-flexible-whip-sword-takes-years-to-master.

games have their own interpreation of the weapons so is just a matter of adapt the idea to the medium and make its own version. as for the transform idea, i dont think is possbile, we had that disccusion with the dark split, if anything is a bundle weapon, 2 for the price of 1

[KoldoDarkscythe]

Name: Fidelator named for the Faithful Warrior who re-forged them.
Faction Tenno
Dual Swords Grip

Description:  

"After being ordered to extract with the package after a deadly fight holding of hordes of contacts, he returned to honour his fallen comrade's sacrifice, reforging their broken swords into something new, something to carry on their legacy and face innumerable odds"

Stats/Effects
The best attack is the best defence - the slightly shorter offhand sword is designed to defend, freeing the main-hand to attack.
The offhand has a high chance to auto-block any melee attack which if it blocks, staggers the enemy (similar to a maxed retribution). The blade is fixed (as pictured) black so that it may go unnoticed more easily in a fight. Contrasting this the main sword (where the blade is default white) glows with the power colour to draw attention away.
The swords deal mainly slash damage with a little puncture from thrusts and impact with successful blocks by the offhand.
Specialised in crowd combat: the Fidelator can hit multiple enemies one of which always receives a slash proc with it's basic, while there is more focus on single or larger groups with it's combos.
Strikes quickly with a 1.2 attack speed.
Higher than average crit chance but lower than average crit damage.
The power colour dictates a minor elemental proc.
Due to it's unusual origin (Dev permitted) the crafting requires a constructed Cronus, Dakra Prime and Skana to construct the twin blades, and the main-hand and offhand are switched to increase the blade's off-balancing nature.
Upon applying a finisher, the blades are crossed across the head of the enemy decapitating it (think Anakin killing Dooku - Star Wars EPIII)

The infested lecta

faction: Infested

Weapon type: Whip

 

the infested lecta is a whip with a skull on it instead of a metal part on it.

it has a tentacle on top and might have some extra infested gross stuff all over it.

 

[neoporter]

Procelox

Faction: Corpus
Brief Description:

• Corpus sword and shield designed for short bursts of use.
• Deals primarily electric and slash damage.
• Loses charge on hitting an enemy or blocking attacks.
• Channeling prevents charge loss at the cost of energy.
• Recharges quickly when sheathed and slowly when not.
• Reduces number of energy panels as charge decreases, but reduces charge loss.
• Deals high damage, but loses damage as charge decreases.

Ok, so here we are: i've noticed that we lack of an almighty puncture based heavy sword so here you are

Name: Kozsentia

Type: Heavy Sword

Faction: Tenno

Description: Heavy Sword based upon the design of ancient flamberges. Deals primarly puncture damage with an innate corrosive slam attack. Perfect against armoured enemies

More of a mechanical concept than an artist showing off:

 

Secacor, Cephalontech Glaive. (although better names could be had)

Artists can go nuts, this is only a very basic concept. (Old image, uses Synoid parts since that was the point of the image at the time)

As far as the appearance of the weapon, since it has multiple bodies, rather than remaining as a fixed disc in flight, the projectile has the appearance of a vortex (like the tip of the Heliocor), with the three (or however many) edge blades and other intermediary bodies chasing it.

 

Weapon has high damage on melee (50-75), low damage on throw (50-75). Base damage type Magnetic, with guaranteed Shock procs on throw and detonation.

The reason for the low throw damage, it collects items along the projectile's path (instant pickup, objects are not moved) with a radius of 5m from the projectile, as well as all pickups within the radius of the detonation.

As an extra bonus, 5% x3 crit stats. +95% base crit chance when hitting an enemy with a completed codex entry. This would give it the characteristic of scaling with a part of account progress unrelated to Mastery Rank or Syndicate affiliation.

 

Even if this doesn't really suit the feel of the contest, it could make for a fun weapon some point down the line.

[(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako]

keep up the awesome submissions everyone !  

many good ideas and details here 

[SCHREY]

Concept Kendjav shield Main idea is use shiled as main weapon so you can easaly switch between secondary and melee weapon. In use with secondary weapon- use greneer shiled boy animation(position\stance). In use with melee weapon- use Ack and Brunt animation(position\stance). Can be created in greneer lab. For crafting it you need 10 greener shield plates(drop from eximus shield boys) Stats- Mastery lvl 10 \ Attack speed 0.9 \ Physical damage 75 \ Crit chance 2.5 \ Crit multiplier 3.5x \ Status chanse 25% \ Slam attack 75 \ Slide attack 130 \ Wall attack 350 
Blocking absorb elemental damage\physical damage. Blocking can be preform while sprinting with melee weapon.
When use with secondary wepon movement speen dicreased and sprinting cant be performed, also in that stance abcorbing all incoming frontal damage(like those boys --) Cant be used with empty melee slot,because it using melee weapon mods.

 Inspired by hate to shielded greneers absobring and knokin down. If this idea made it to the game- please use same knockdown sound ^^ 

Ps sorry for my english(coment response will take a while) Cheers!

pulse whip

A Tenno made weapon, it was created to combat corpus machines by knocking them down, however it was used an all around crowd control weapon. It lacked enough force to knock down a well footed target but could knock them back leaving them vulnerable to its slash capabilitys.

retractable when holstered

high slash

medium puncture

low impact 

magnetic pulse extending 3m staggering enemies 

(standard whip NOT bladed whip)

Here is my participation ! 

Description : It talks about a Corpus Tactical Shield , wich can deploy lateral shields pannels to protect your allies on the battlefield. This weapon have no sword or axe... it's only a shield. So combat melee attacks are similar to small impacts strike with the shield itself (stance : "Eleventh Storm").

Tips : 
1. When deployed (by "parry" : hold right click), your warframe can moove no longer, rooted, and the shield is deployed like a small tactical wall infront of you.
2. Then (in parry mod), the shield will absorb infront incomming bullets / lasers (but not the melee attacks) and converts them into energy stocked in fieldron batteries. 
3. Once fieldron batteries are charged, you can fire (left click in parry mod) a huge impact Beam (like Banshee 1st ability), to bump clothest ennemies in range and deal heavy impact damage.

Strenght / Weakness : 
+ Can absorb an insane amount of damage.
+ Have a lot of control with Impact procs.
+ Allies covered by your shield (2 meter behind the wall) are immuned to bump/take down/impact proc.
- Useless without a front-line. Ennemies in your back can burst you.
- When deployed, your warframe can't moove.

So, this shield is not damage oriented, it need to be charged first to deal heavy damage. You will also need teamates to cover your back, and use your protection (and get the aggro).

You put alot of effort into it, but it won´t be accepted due to the underlined part.

[Kaotyke]

I have no fanart... but this will give an idea:

Slash: 0

Puncture: 35

Impact: 55

Type: Staff or Polearm

Special atirbutes: +70% Damage against Infested, +1000% Damage on Infested Maggots.

[(PSN)Tenkai_Hayabusa]

Mako 

Faction: Tenno (Infested Technology)

Grip/Stance: Nunchaku/Atlantis Vulcan

Inspired by the fastest shark known on Earth, Mako is an Infested weapon that takes its features after the shark-like creature known as the Lanx, which can be encountered in submersible areas of Grineer Sealabs. It is as if the shark has possessed the base weapon itself, giving the nunchaku 3 distinctive edges, each lined with rows of razor sharp teeth. This design was made to incur deep serrated wounds, causing the enemies to bleed profusely. In the hands of an experienced Tenno, the Mako will tear and shred through any foe.

Special Ability: Has a built in Berserker effect, gaining stacks of attack speed on critical hits as well as applying a Puncture proc on the first hit.

Thanks for your return. You're right, but i understood " existing Warframe grip type " like "just pick un Existing Stance". And it is. 
I guess my blueprint isn't enought similar ? ... 

[emperorofnight]

Scior dagger

Faction: Teno
Handle:dagger

Throwing dagger. Charged attack makes weapon throw - like glaive but no bounce. Energetic link makes the dagger return to hand.

Medium slash, low puncture, very little to no impact. Medium crit. chance but very high crit multiplier. (prefered crit mastering to make weapon very deadly). Good status chance.

Idea 1: What about nice animation similiar to butterfly knife - maybe for blocking? Open, close, rotate in hand...

Idea 2: When blocking blades r rotating in handle axis.

Legend: lethal weapon of ancient teno ancestors from pre-orokin era returns in this improved version. Pravieusly used for cutting wires on spaceship in sabotege missions now mainly for cutting enemies lifes lines..

 

 

 

[Velront]

Faction: Tenno

Grip Type:  Dual Swords

Description: It's literally just a pair of shovels. If it's acceptable to take huge hammers and maces on a mission, then surely the Tenno can make good use of this weapon. The shovels should have a size similar to the Dark Split-Sword's dual form, while dealing a combination of Impact and Slash damage. Because their hilt is made of wood, they should have a fairly high attack speed of ~1.17 (like Dual Kamas). Shovel-type weapons are rarely seen in games, which turns them into a unique addition to the currently available arsenal.

Wait. What's a contest without a prize? 

The prize is to have the weapon in-game, I think.
