So as many of you have seen, DE has been adding a lot of interesting weapons lately. Not necessarily good (cough-Cycron-cough), but they all have had some flavor to them. They divert players from the awfully boring meta and opens new possibilities for different playstyles. I would like to propose some ideas for them to consider for future additions. Let's begin:

1. Infested Sniper: Shoots neuro-parasitic darts. Headshot kills turns the enemy into an ally for five eight seconds before decomposing into a toxic puddle that lingers for five seconds

2. Grineer Bow: Used by specialized Grineer assassins, this bow's deadly, superheated arrows burn enemies to cinders. If the target survives, the Detonite casing within the arrow will surely finish the job with a bang once triggered

3. Corpus Energy Bow: Drawing power from the Warframe's energy reserves, this bow lets loose deadly, precise shots of electrical force. Advanced technology within it allows it to absorb incoming energy (Magnetic, Electricity and Radiation) based attacks (status effects only) and use it to empower the shots (getting afflicted with Magnetic will instead be nullified and absorbed by the bow. Which will grant it a damage buff of said element)

4. Grineer Fuel Lobbing Gun: Primary fire is a continuous stream of highly flammable fuel that lingers for eight seconds and deals no damage (it stuns enemies, however). Alt fire launches a small fireball that, when contacting fuel, will ignite it for 10 seconds

5. Corpus Heatseeking Launcher: Designed to always hit it's mark, this launcher first tags enemies (hold and charge to mark akin to Bladestorm) then releases a volley of radioactive explosions (releasing the charge releases the rounds). Tag amount is limited to magazine size

6. Infested Sword & Shield: Made from the hide of a slain Juggernaut Behemoth, this tempered shield grants temporary armor (500 HP akin to Iron Skin) when held. The armor regenerates once spent (ten second cooldown). While the sharpened blade pierces all but the toughest of materials

7. An actual scythe

Sounds great, but your corpus bow stopping magprocs makes it meta for stuff like Vay Hek, and for laser barriers, so it may be too OP.

Also, the infested sniper would extremely fun. (and it actually rewards headshots even more, unlike a certain combo counter...)

Nah, you'll still take the damage. Besides, things like Titania's Spellbind or Inaros' Scarab Negation nullify all status procs. If it's too OP, give it a cool down :]

 

PS: Making a player immune to Grineer Sensor Bars won't break the game -_-

I made a post about a Corpus energy bow a while ago, but I like your idea better.

I love the idea of the infested sniper.

However, I think that bows should be restricted to Orokin/Tenno usage. They don't really fit the aesthetic of the other factions. I think there's a reason we haven't seen any Grineer/Corpus bows yet and I hope it stays that way. The mechanics you propose are cool though; they could be recycled into other concepts.

While I agree... The existence of the Mutalist Cernos counters your point of view. The Corpus don't seem like they're into fist fights, yet the Obex are a thing

I don't think it necessarily does. It's a Tenno bow that happened to be infested. Does the Mutalist Quanta mean that the infestation is all about mining asteroids now? I can understand the Prova, but I do think the existence of the Ohma, Obex, etc is weird.

Also, hey, I just realised you're Lois from the wiki. What's up.

Doing fine, just trying to decide how to split my time between ducat farming for Baro and doing the Ambulas event. And, you know, real life :P
