Corpus Shotgun
• After seeing how popular the Tenno pump action shotgun design was, it was decided that there would be another added
• Making more pump action shotguns helped justify the new animations
• Ironically this Corpus shotgun is further along in development than the previously shown Tenno shotgun

Other Stuff
• Considering making a light update to melee combat in general that makes Charge attacks and Channels more useful and combos easier
• Since the ability to dual wield secondary weapons and melee weapons at the same time is coming, the stats for thrown melee weapons and some dual-wield weapons are being reviewed
• New Machete stance is coming soon, hopefully with the Ambulas Event next week
• There is work being done on a new secret system that will work together with the Focus System and the Operator gameplay that should hopefully bring it all together into a more developed system
• Scott is open to further changes being made to Oberon -- currently just going to let him stay as he is and collect feedback before making any immediate updates
• Shield-gating is coming for sure, no ETA though
• Small update on some of the new Kingpin models shown HERE

Thanks Bunny!

 

Now then.

 

Stuff Which I Like: Those fan weapons look bloody amazing, double want oh my god yes give.

 

Stuff With Which I Am Slightly Exasperated: The Focus rework is very, very clearly a long way off. Not in the next few months, not even in 2017.

Wow I was watching the devstream and I didn't notice the names of the abilities or the stats. It looks like those stats are with mods though, my guess from the stats is that there is some kind of flow mod on, but no armor increasing mods, possibly a shield mod but no health mod? The names of the abilities add a lot to the speculation. 

Just by those names we can kind of get a decent guess at what they might do, especially considering what we have already been teased about how he works. 

Condemn -- Some kind of single target ability, that makes enemies take increased damage from precision shooting? 

Penance -- Perhaps an ability where he does "penance" by taking on the damage meant for other warframes or something, sacrificing his health to save them, sort of like how talked about in the devstream? 

Thurible -- Some kind of area debuff perhaps, that might also buff teammates? 

War Pact -- Could have more to do with the precision shooting thing talked about on a previous devstream, but it also sounds like it could have something to do with defense/cc, probably both, as he is supposed to be supportive and this is his ultimate ability. 

Just some guesses on the general uses of those abilities though, I wonder what others think?

Really disliked how they were joking around instead of giving a serious answer to the kuva endless idea... It's not like it would bring some diversity to that boredom and add some actual endgame (endless missions which are rewarding)...

They didn't really have a clear answer, they said it was something that the devs were divided on.

I think it's reasonable to assume that it may come packaged with the next cinematic quest... which I personally believe they are hard at work on. I think that the updates for Warframe have been peculiarly light this year, and I heavily expect it's because they want to announce the next cinematic quest once it's close to releasing as a response to The War Within disaster last time. I'm remaining hopeful.

oo nice useless kunai augment! Hope its a hint that Kunai Prime is soon?

You gotta hope they are missing some zero's in there or something. Sometimes stuff in dev builds is still partly placeholder, remember that they don't even have a clean looking version of the firestorm for pistols yet. 

Let's hope it's like... +200% magazine capacity lol. 2% has to not be the final number at max rank... no way that's a real mod lol.

aww we cant get the bird as a pet... would be cool though..

thanks AM-Bunny.

Not to install false hope but they said it wont be released as a companion, it could still become one in the future. Otherwise I am on the same boat as you.

Well yeah, weapons like Kunai/Hikou, etc. really just reload almost instantly and keep firing with little pause.

I'm not sure that was a smart choice of theirs here, but maybe they will still reconsider that weapon's mod affect? Most people would only use it for the blight effect at this current stage and wouldn't be interested in the magazine increase (as it isn't an overall ammo increase either), and I don't think it would be worth it just for the syndicate aoe.

"There is no answer, sorry." Not really looking bright...

Anyway, at least the rest of the stream looked pretty neat especially the ultra QoL for trading.
