(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Grineer 'Fost' Combat Shotgun โThis double-barreled semiauto shotgun was designed for several purposes: To use the same ammunition to fire buckshot and slugs,ย to be a short, maneuverable longarm for Grineer breachers,ย to be hard for non-Grineer operators to use,ย and to be a do-anything shotgun to unseat the Sobek and Hek. It failed at the last two, but it succeeded well enough at the others. If THAT doesn't sum up the Grineer..." --Codex Lore The Fost was designed with lofty ambitions: Something with the power of the Hek, the magazine and fire rate of the Sobek, along with the ability to fire buckshot and slugs from the same ammunition, all in a compact package for breaching Corpus ships. It was meant as a replacement to smooth out the greatly overstressed Grineer logistic machine. ย It didnโt quite hit the mark. Full-automatic with this weapon had a tendency to break the receiver, it held four less rounds than the Sobek, and it was more complex than the Hek. ย But even so, there was a success deep in there. The result was a shotgun that didnโt overshadow either weapon, but instead served as a mid-road between the Sobek and Hek. Itโs semiauto, its rounds boast stopping power midway between them both, and its fire rate lies somewhere between the two. Same for its reload. Plus, with its length, itโs surprisingly good for both breaching and long-range combat. ย Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Fost is its system for reconfiguring its ammunition.ย ย If thereโs one thing the Grineer excel at, itโs a low-tech solution to a problem the Orokin wouldโve solved by burying it in time, effort, and bodies. Orokin buckshot would be made of programmable matter, this weapon uses conventional shotgun roundsโฆ which can then be filled with a wax-like programmable matter to transform them from buckshot to slugs. ย Owing to its utility, the Fost is a common sight among Grineer all over the system,ย especiallyย among Kosma and Gyre troops tasked with breaking into anything from Corpus stanchions to Tenno railjacks. ย The magazine is the large tube that looks like a bent Hek magazine, right above the receiver. ย Stats: Trigger: Burst Burst Count: 2 Burst Rate: 7 Burst Delay: 0.25 Magazine: 16 Reload: 2.4s ย Primary fire: Buckshot Damage: 348 132 Slash 42 Puncture 174 Impact Pellets: 8 (58 damage per pellet) Status Chance: 12% Critical Chance: 18% Critical Multiplier: 2.0x Full damage up to: 18 m Minimum Damage at 32m 68% Max Reduction Secondary Fire: Slug Secondary Fire ย Non-hitscan Damage: 168 108 Impact 42 Slash 18 Puncture Status Chance: 38% Critical Chance: 16% Critical Multiplier: 2.1x Punch-through: 1m Full damage up to: 22m Minimum Damage at 33m 50% Max Reduction ย ย Artist Notes First off, sorry for not coloring this one. Unfortunately, my art computer is BORKED (thatโs bad) so I canโt be posting stuff with the same quality I otherwise might have.ย Iโm quite adept at coming up with weapons dedicated to crowd control, guns that separately roll crit and status on impact and explosion, but as isโฆ I donโt like doing the same thing too often. Plus, I donโt have as much energy for this as I used to. Iโm not quitting, I still enjoy this game, I justโฆ have less energy. Iโm not burned out, Iโm just not burning at both ends. I wonder what I could do to shake things up for myself. Probably post all that umbral ayatan lore Iโve sat on and promised people who read my threadย on the warframe forums. That gotโฆ too depressive. Anyway. I wanted to create something that didnโt have a gimmick focused on precision (though admittedlyโฆ I might try that later) or a blast radius. So I figured โhey, why not make this?โ Last time I was in a mood like this last year, I just made the Fedorova assault rifle, so right now Iโm making a semiautomatic shotgun. The idea is that itโs just a semiautomatic combat shotgun that serves as a mid-road between stuff like the Corinth and Strun Wraith (and stuff Iโve made, like the Tenebrae and Neophytou) and autoshotguns. A niche that genuinely feels untapped here. In Warframe, you normally get something super spammy, or something thatโs extremely slow. Or in the case of Strun Wraith, a shotgun that is somehow both at once. (Amazing) So this thing is meant to be somewhat in-between. I do worry that I made this thing too powerful relative to the Strun, but I figure the lower overall crit, better reload speed, andย better fire rate give it a fairly well-defined niche. The slugsโฆ are just because normally I add some kind of explosive altfire to shotguns, this time Iโm adding a more precise altfire. Do something different, y'know. ย Edited January 3 by (XBOX)Fluffywolf36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passive: a shield armor and health buff which is greatly multiplied during railjack and is also applied to railjack (it doesn't stack with multiple versions of the warframe). Ability 1: a healing ability which can also repair hull breaches or other damages (max level repairs catastrophic breaches) Ability 2: the armor buffing ability you mentioned (she turns invincible for a short duration or could be a channeling ability, which applies the buff when it ends.) Ability 3: creates a void hole which fires smaller, and weaker versions of your ordinance. In railjack it could make it into a carpet bombing ability. Ability 4: she could summon an exalted railjack gun for her to use with no cooldown but firing it causes her energy to drain (drain increase the longer you fire it). In railjack it gains a secondary fire which creates a void hole to fire a smaller version of the railjack ultimate or frontal artillery out of it. Also a tricorn hat helmet works. Her name could be Calypso (named after the goddess of the sea). Edited June 1, 2021 by (PSN)stormfalcon2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually pitch stuff on rather broad words for the sake off explaining the idea fast. Since the basic gist of off it is the railjack frame version off tirania. Allot of stuff has to be ducked with to make it work ( railjack guns are a tad to weak ) , how the forge would work , howย the crew would exist in this digitalize space.ย I've been stuck with it because haven't played enough new railjack to be able to figure it out. I've been sitting on that idea for months now.ย Also there is a massive implementation problem given that DE made the new more complex ground mission on railjack remove the railjack from play so I suspect there are engine limitations involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next two revolvers haveย extremelyย long cylinders, and they're not even shotgun pistols, so it felt silly to give this thing such a short,ย normal-looking cylinder. This isn't going to go on the front page of the thread, and I already have feedback from @Unusย (thanks, Unus!) so it doesn't quite need more attention. If you want stats, they're in this quoteblock below.

But hey, I figure that so much is going on in WF at any given time that nobody is just going to hit five headshots in a row and never miss ever again. Spoiler โThis baroque, engraved top-break revolver fires laser-sliced slugs from its primary barrel, and uses Entrati siphon technology to load a central shotgun barrel with cryotic-infused buckshot.

AH, a โmultiloadโ shotgun, for when you need multiple types of ammo loaded in to suit multiple needs! I almost feel like this could be a modifier for our series of pumps that already exist, selecting shell types through some manner of โpress reload then 1, 2, 3, etcโ system. Regarding making things harder for the opposition, I imagine gene-locking weaponry might work, but, Iโm not sure if they could achieve it on the broad scale that the Grineer function at, maybe for their one-off breeds. ย Ah, adaptation, just the way the Orokin never wanted it. Never quite the same as what the original makers had in mind, but, inevitably Grineer-โworthyโ in the end. ย Statistical Breakdown: ย Fire Rate= Greater then either of itโs kin to be sure, but, still surpassed by the โone-pump-champโ exergis and the โlead-filled corridor makerโ drakgoon. Magazine= A healthy size to be sure, matched by only one other shotgun, the glass-glazed astilla. Reload Speed= On the heftier end of things, but, on the reasonable heftier end of things, as opposed to some of the more painful and grotesque wait times, such as the agony of the Arca Plasmor. Primary Evaluation- Damage= Just a few points shy of the kuvaย drakgoon, and well within the limits of shotgun damagewisedom!ย Pellet Count= . . . well shet, I canโt actually evaluate this particular aspect, or, at least, not in a timely manner! Blasted comparison system ย no longer exists on the wiki and my notes are empty in the pellet section. Curses! Status Chance= Paralleling the Strun Wraith in this category and, in the grand scheme of the gunaverse, ย sits in the land of averages. Critical Chance= Sits upon the lower enda average she does, but, in the average zone all the same! Fascinatingly, this is the only design Iโve seen that perfectly balanced the Critical/Status dichotomy, with every other shotgun that currently exists either being minutely or heavily toward one or the other. Interdasting funducational fact. Critical Multiplier= Completely and utterly average in totality. Secondary Evaluation- Damage= She sits in a zone that, in the current arsenal, does not exist! This empty zone is borderlined tween the lavos suitโs abnormal glaive-throwing Cedo and the rare Kuva-Khom damagewise. Status Chance= A brutal horror indeed! Only the convectrix is able to get a leg up upon this purveyor of bludgeoning blows. Critical Chance= Heh, parallels the Convectrix in more then one way here, both in numeric skew and percentages. Critical Damage= Only .1 above the average.ย ย Bottom Section Inputs: Heh, way Iโve seen it sir, even a bare sketch is more then capable of drawing a crowd! Completely understandable sir! Itโs why I have multiple personal projects I do! When the wick begins to gutter and smoke, I move to another, where the flames seem to erupt anew at the expense of the other. Go right ahead! If I can be waylaid to write a three chapter story of the Sentients journey and evolution before somehow writing course and heading back to weapons, I think you can do the same! ย Depressing? Nonsense! Iโd say this is far more of โbeing realโ. Keeps the air clear, helps folks recall your more then just a production factory. At long last, I may complete my review!

I get the feeling that a lot of the "simple" designs they were using were just them bruteforcing their way into having a functioning firearm with high tech as opposed to going for simplicity first. Like... have you ever seen a conversion from bolt-action to full-auto or semiauto? (example: The HUOT) I get the feeling a lot of Orokin engineering is like that, with some overengineering for the sake of blinging out the design. Meanwhile as opposed to doing this, the Grineer just make a space AK or Space M4. Even the Orokin Kalashnikov I made awhile back is hilariously overcomplicated!

Also, the mention of it being hard for non-Grineer to use is a holdover from when I drew this without a stock :P Originally this had no stock, but I just... have such a hard time drawing stockless shotguns. Shotguns have aย lotย of recoil, and I need to imagine myself believably shouldering and firing this stuff. 17 hours ago, Unus said: ย Fire Rate= Greater then either of itโs kin to be sure, but, still surpassed by the โone-pump-champโ exergis and the โlead-filled corridor makerโ drakgoon. ย Really, the fire rate is the core of what this design is about - I wanted something a bit more spammy than most of my semiauto shotguns, but a bit less powerful to compensate. Think of it like a mid-road between something like the Strun Wraith and the Sobek. Was a bit leery of making it seemingly so much more powerful than the Strun Wraith (with a better mag) but I figure the Strun's more consistent crit and status will help with that. 17 hours ago, Unus said: Completely understandable sir!

Speaking of which there's at least two guns I've got planned in the future that are heavily inspired by how Outriders perks work, one of which is an homage to a Double Gun, the other is... more of a hypothetical revolver build than anything. 17 hours ago, Unus said: Go right ahead!

(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Corpus โPhantomic Projectorโ Burst Pistol โA burst fire pistol firing Specter Particles, designed by elite cadres of engineers and scientists selected by Parvos Granum himself. Pace your shots for saturating bursts of Specter Particles. Keep the shot trained on enemies for bursts of saturating death, and kill enemies with it to summon allied Specters to your side.โ --Codex ย ย ย ย Special traits: ย Target Analysis: Does 25% more damage for each round that hits an enemy. Zooming in reduces recoil after a short period time. Spawns Spectres of enemies killed Lore Itโs a simple fact of life in the Origin System - some technology simplyย cannot be reproduced.ย Sometimes it can, but the more advanced it is, the more direct ties to the archeotech of the Orokin or Sentients, or even other civilizations, the less likely it is to have a complete understanding of it. Examples include the biomechanical custodial drones found on Deimos and Venus, Fresnels, Kesslers, and other such resources, along with various Prime parts. (This can be circumvented by working with Alad V, but that requiresย working with Alad V.) This fact of life was upended with the return of Parvos Granum, who soon instituted what he called the Granum New Deal. He started by coming to Corpus academies personally, selecting fringe scientists and young hotheads who hadnโt been taken in by the near-cultlike behaviors of Corpus research teams. The goal of this massive shake-up was to reintroduce a number of lost technologies to the Corpus, some of them so forgotten and arcane that they were barely even concepts to the Corpus, and even create new devices by synthesizing Corpus and Orokin tech. The Phantomic Projector particle pistol is one such device. Originally โjustโ a particle pistol, it was reworked to fire Spectre Particles. This gives the weapon a number of peculiarities, such as an (alleged) ability to kill or copy Oro projectionsย used by the Sentients and Orokin alike, and spawning Spectres on kills. And, strangely, it has noticeable recoil. Due to a target analysis computer similar to that used on the Arca Scisco, the weaponย alsoย increases its damage for each successive hit on enemies by 25%, which resets at the end of each burst.ย Zooming in and pausing between shots will automatically lower the recoil of the next burst fired, giving this weapon the possibility to outdamage even the Sicarus Prime if you manage to level every round with someoneโs head.ย The Sicarus, however, has better fire rate and more consistent crit. For the most possible damage with this weapon, aim for center of mass to โwalkโ the burst up towards the head. Or just aim for the head, pause, and then do lots of damage. ย Corpus trusted with this weapon are capable of completely changing the flow of a battle, using it to copy their compatriotsโฆ or turn Tenno against Spectres of themselves. However, thereโs one price when it comes to being Corpus and using this weaponโฆ and that isย being more hated by the Tenno than even nullifiers.ย As such, Corpus โEctoplasmatistโ troops armed with Spectre weaponry hang back towards the rear of a fight, often flanked by escorts or armed with short-ranged teleports and invisibility, along with a back-mounted Nullifier Grenade launcher.

This can rival some of my more powerful revolvers for headshot damage if you zoom in, the Depezador can now outdamage the Estampida after 4-5 headshots (Iย think?) and I had to scrap a headshot damage bonus on this because itโsโฆ a burst pistol, itโs good for 12 trigger pulls. Iโm in a weird mental space with all these powerful pistols. I may need to make some machine pistols to get out of this headspace Iโm in XD.ย This was an old idea - I struggle to come up with weapon ideas for the Corpus for some reason, especially pistols, and a Parvos Granum-inspired gun that somehow uses spectre particles as part of its utility seemed like a cool idea. The charge functionality, by the way, is inspired by the 30-30 repeater from Apex - it increases in power the longer you aim it, this decreases recoil the longer you aim it. Then again, the 30-30 has a questionable rep and people in WF have a tendency to fall back on old standbys that have consistently worked (I mean, I still use Frost Prime and Soma Prime or Strun Wraith) so maybe this wouldnโt be an issue. I think Iโm overreacting. โฆ.Only now do I wonder if that would be an interesting idea for a burstfire rifle in Apex. I bet Unus has a pistol design I can use to balance out my lopsided sandbox.

(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Entrati 'Ossuaire' Pistol โEntrati weapons were designed for the strongest, most resilient physiques that could be sculpted by Lorists and haemoturges. The Ossuaire is a notable departure from that, being built for Tenno acolytes that had received comparatively few augmentations. Compared to its big brother, the Sepulcrum, it has a lower magazine size and lower damage, but better velocity, reload, and to some extent fire rate. Since it fires a short burst from one barrel instead of two, itโs also a little more accurate. Tap altfire to fire a continuously exploding overcharged burst.โ --codex ย Lore Designed by the three-man team of Haruka Lorne, Father Entrati, and an Orokin by the name of Valdor Aulay, the Ossuaire is as close as the Entrati got to โsmallโ and โportableโ and โnot large enough to serve as Necramech weaponry.โ Which probably says a lot about the It is almost (but not quite) the size of a small SMG or sawed-off shotgun. Almost (but not quite) as powerful. In addition, itโs surprisingly concealable within Orokin robes, and rumor has it that Father used one as his equivalent to a pocket pistol.ย Itโs easy to consider it a custom build of the Sepulcrum, and while it acts like that, itโs design is anything but. Too many features bear little resemblance to that weapon. Which brings us to one question: Is it a good pistol? Yes. Extremely.ย Despite its lower caliber and magazine size, the speed of its burst and its high overall stats allow it to punch above its weight. It fires a smaller, lower-caliber round than the Sepulcrum, but compensates for this with a higher rate of fire and an extra round in the burst, and greater accuracy. If the Ganymedean โHiroโ pistol is a .51 caliber pistol, the Largo is a 10mm, then this is a 9mm. It has lower velocity than the Largo, but lower recoilโฆ and better armor penetration. The Ossuaire punches into enemies and works better against armor, with more slash than the Sepulcrum. It also has better status. Instead of being loaded with pyrotic explosives, the Ossuaire launches a wave of flaming nano-shrapnel that lacerates unprotected flesh. In Siphon mode, it fires an overcharged burst that explodes every meter itโs traveled, in addition to exploding on impact with enemies. Itย alsoย has some punch-through, exploding on contact with enemies as it overpenetrates themโฆ but it finally comes to a rest on hard surfaces in an even larger explosion.ย This made it well-loved among some of the stronger members of the squires of Haruka Lorneโs clan. And even Aulay himself. Aulay would later use it to commit a crime so horrific that the Orokin had no name for it. He was then executed. Hopefully. It was not the first slight the Orokin had delivered to Haruka Lorne. It would not be the last. Father quotesโHaruka, Aulay, and I built this together. Harukaโs squires wanted something that could drop charging Infested or a Noctilyst in a few shots, and her favorite squire Jubal justโฆ. He couldnโt lift a Sepulcrum for the life of him. So the three of this built this pistol for her squires, but mostly him. Haruka made the basic framework, I did most of the legwork, and Aulay did the engraving.โ ย Stats Primary Fire Rate Of Fire: 6.7 Burst count: 3ย Burst rate: 2.23 Burst Delay: 0.1s Magazine: 30Reload: 2sTotal Damage: 63 On impact: damage: 3314 Puncture16 Slash3 ImpactStatus Chance: 18%Critical Chance: 33%Critical Multiplier: 2.4x Radial: damage: 3020 heat10 SlashStatus Chance: 18%Critical Chance: 33%Critical Multiplier: 2.4xBlast Radius: 1.2m Secondary Fire Rate Of Fire: 6.7 Burst count: 3ย Burst rate: 2.23 On impact: damage: 6628 Puncture32 Slash6 ImpactStatus Chance: 18%Critical Chance: 36%Critical Multiplier: 2.4x Radial: damage: 282150ย heat132 SlashStatus Chance: 18%Critical Chance: 36%Critical Multiplier: 2.4xBlast Radius: 1.1m ย Artist Notes: This isโฆ the second time I homaged Gregor Eisenhornโs pistol. Sort of. I donโt know if the Largo counts, as that is basically a Laugo Arms Alien that shoots explosive rounds because I got bored. Originally it was just going to be a scoped Lex. So, Iโve been reading a lot of Dan Abnett lately, starting withย Pariah,ย finding out someโฆ things. And thatโs put me in more of a 40k mood than usual. And I got to thinking about some stuff. Like Eisenhornโs bolt pistol. And the fact that the Sepulcrum is essentially a bolt pistol. And the fact that if Warframes didnโt have beyond-superhuman strength, they wouldnโt be able to use the Sepulcrum. In fact, in the hands of a Tenno, itโd be ludicrously oversized. So then I got to thinking about Eisenhornโs bolt pistol. How it has such a unique silhouette. ย Itย looksย like your typical fun-size assault rifle styled Bolter, but apparently it loads through the pistol grip. And that got me thinking about the idea of a smaller Sepulcrum built for the kind of people that worked alongside Tenno during the Orokin era - something not unlike a Tenno equivalent to chapter serfs. Iโm not entirely sure if โHaemoturgeโ makes sense - but I was looking for something like โbio-thaumaturge,โ and including the word โthaumโ seemed too outright magical for Warframe. Think of them like an equivalent to Drukhari Haemonculi, except tasked with manipulating the human form.
