I also like how the fire modes are actually different not just changed crit and status chance and maybe a difference in damage depending on the fire mode Thanks so much! Fun fact about the firing modes actually being different - I don't actually like weapons where you switch fire modes that much, especially the Argonak cause semiauto just feels.... like, aggressively soย much better. I'm also kinda annoyed that we have so many auto/semi and auto/semi/burst weapons, but the only auto/burst thing we have (the Kuva Quartakk) works like a Dahl rifle (from Borderlands 2, anyway). And having something like the Tiberon Prime where there's three fire modes just kinda annoys me. I don't evenย needย full-auto that much, who builds the Tiberon with that much focus on status?

Essentially yes. I spend most of my time balancing for something like WF where nobody can complain about you killing them, so I have an entirely different kind of ethos... And Apex's weapons are so restricted compared to WF (they're non-hitscan, at base they have anemic mag sizes, they have piddly damage... they do have nice recoil though!) so there's so many things I'd have to cut down on, and it's for a much, much harder-to-please fanbase. Either way, it'd feel more like work than anything. I mean.... it's not like I consider doing the crunch here to be anythingย butย work. I do need the stats to make the gun interesting on some level. But I'd have to take so many more stats into account that are harder to visualize than "X% crit chance." Ironically though, Apex's more "gamified" weapons (the Rampage, likely the Sentinel) fit into WF surprisingly well, like with the Strigoi Prime. Which is basically just the Rampage LMG, just with Frame abilities instead of nades. Edited December 6, 2022 by (XBOX)Fluffywolf36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) The funniest thing about my thread is how so much of the lore can be self-propagating. So, I recently switched one of my revolver ideas from Tenno to Grineer. I had an extant Grineer pistol drawing that was just offbeat enough to work with, and so I had to restructure the lore cause I can't just say "This Grineer weapon originates with the Entrati!" So, whileย doing that, I wrote out this sentence: Quote It has three main users. Firstly, the Grineer - While various Grineer commanders in anti-Infested โCellwatchโ units use it in a rocket launcher-like role, itโs also common as a sidearm for Grineer Hellions, some of the only Grineer units with the mobility to take the fullest advantage of this weapon. And now I'm kind of wondering about the Cellwatch. Should I explain that? EDIT: Also, the upcoming pistol is inspired by this thing from F3AR. Is it a revolver? A mag-fed semiauto?ย It haunts me Edited December 8, 2022 by (XBOX)Fluffywolf36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Grineer 'Avanc' Launcher pistol โA relic of the Grineer-Narmer War, designed in Tengusโ labs. Each bullet from this pistol is actually a tiny Infested organism, which burrows into enemies and spawns a barnacle-like organism that sprays fire in the direction of the wielder . A Tenno that advances quickly can redirect the flame towards enemies, becoming an unpredictable force of destruction.โ --Codex ย ย Lore โWhoseย ideaย was this?!โ โHaruka Lorne โIt was me. I will not apologize for art.โโGinebra Oster ... As much as the Grineer Empireย haveย culture, the still-raging Mercury Front left an indelible stain on it. Of the Grineer-Narmer War (typically referred to by Corpus, Tenno, Ostron, and others as the New War) it was truly the Grineerโs most brutal battle, earning a status as equally revered and reviled as the Battle of Venus is to the Corpus. Narmer razed Grineer complexes, veiling their personnel with impunity and liberating hostages, and Infested outbreaks were seen as a quirk of strategy, such as planning around a storm on Earth or Mars. Grineer deserted to Steel Meridian (or even Kahlโs Regiment) en masse. In addition, they found themselves fighting alongside Corpus auxiliaries to burn out the Infested, which caused no small amount of friction and โfriendlyโ fire incidents. This is still going on, in reduced capacity, but the Avanc is a relic of the worst of that time. Built in the labs of Doctor Tengus, even as the Mercury Front raged outside, this pistol speaks to an unsettling truth:ย That the Grineer broke the Gradivus Accords to experiment in Infestation-based weaponry. These pistols were found in Tengus labs on the battle-wracked Mercury, abandoned in one of the three-way battle between Grineer (and allied forces), Narmer, and Infested that still rages to this day. Each bullet that this pistol fires is in actuality an Infested organism that shoots a spray of flameโฆ. Towards the wielderโฆ on impact. Whoever designed it must have been quite mad at the time. The concept behind the Avanc can best be described as โamazingly stupid.โ Each bullet is, in fact, an incubator for an Infested mollusc-like creature that sprays fire in the direction of the wielder. Tenno who stay mobile on the battlefield prosper with this pistol, as the flamethrower theyโve spawned tracks them while they rush behind enemy targets in its way. ย In addition, the Infested organism holds more โfuelโ if it impacts an enemy. Much of the flesh (or metal) displaced by the impact of the round is devoured by the Infested organism, which uses it to further fuel its flamethrower. Information on its intended use is, to put it simply,ย conflicting.ย It has obvious utility against Infested with its incendiary damage, but this is difficult to reconcile with Tengusโ obsession with Infestation. Reports suggest that it was used in the Grineer-Narmer war, further suggesting that it was an anti-Narmer weapon. It has three main users. Firstly, the Grineer - While various Grineer commanders in anti-Infested โCellwatchโ units use it in a rocket launcher-like role, itโs also common as a sidearm for Grineer Hellions, some of the only Grineer units with the mobility to take the fullest advantage of this weapon. Secondly, and perhaps most surprisingly, Solaris โzit-poppers.โ Among those contracted to purge or contain the Mercury strain or the Venusian โDraugrโ strain, this weapon fetches a high price.ย Thirdly, predictably, the Tenno. This weaponโs potential with a Warframeโs mobility is, not to put too fine a point on it, Kavatnip to a Tenno. Firing at an enemy, watching the flame lance out towards enemies, and controlling it with their mad dashesโฆ Itโs childโs play for them. One particular quirk of this weapon is that it doesnโt track towards a Tenno in Operator mode, so they can keep its location fixed by staying in Operator mode. Also, only five flamethrowers can be active at one time. Firing more than that number just causes shots to explode, dealing radial heat damage. Iโm too lazy to stat this. ย Shared Stats Fire Rate: 2.8 Reload:ย 3s Magazine:ย 9 ย On Impact Status Chance: 18% Critical Chance: 33% Critical Multiplier: 2.7x Headshot Multiplier: 3.15x Damage: 120 55 Impact 40 Slash 15 Puncture Projectile Type: Non-hitscan ย Flamethrower Magazine:ย 10 Critical Chance: 18% Critical Multiplier: 2.7x Damage: 28 Heat Status Chance: 33% Range: 8m Projectile Type: Discharge ย Artist Notes: Fun fact: Originally, this was a Tenno weapon, but it'd been awhile since I made a Grineer gun and this just seemed toย fit,ย ย so then I was all like "Eh" Digital Extremes once divided their weapons into various categories ofย precision, crowd control,ย andย bullethose.ย My thread has innovated a new category partly inspired by playing Spacelords awhile back (I miss Ginebraโs booty) -ย Flowย weapons. ย ย Thisย is a weapon directly interacts with or exaggerates your playstyle - for example, thereโs an LMG I made that gains increased damage and fire rate once you cast an ability, a shotgun pistol that refills ammo on melee kills, another shotgun pistol that decreases in accuracy the lower the magazine to encourage you to get up close and personal, and also a revolver pistol I made that has a cryotic shotgun to set enemies up for devastating headshots and/or melee combos.ย Iโm going to be honest, I think my ability to create gimmicks that arenโtย tooย dependent on headshots kind of peaked on that one. Sort of - I mean, it still requires headshots, but you donโt need them all the time. ย Thereโs also one other thing that all those weapons have in common - oddball stats that encourage strange build setups. For example, the LMG also increases status, so you can have a gun that does 100% status and 100% crit if you build it right or get a unicorn riven. Also, using Mesaโs 1 counts as tapping the ability key twice. And for one of the shotgun pistols, magazine size is tied to accuracy, so adding Ice Storm increases the accuracy of the second and third shots. ย This pistol's no different. So hereโs some funny notes on things you can do with it:ย ย It only spawns one flamethrower. I just didnโt want to go there. The beam from said flamethrower, however,ย isย affected by multishot. Beam length is affected by Ruinous Extension. So you might want to put that in Exilus. Beam can benefit from Fulmination andย Amalgam Furax Body Count. Because the beam has its own magazine size, it also benefits from Ice Stormย andย Combo Fury. I donโt exactly know how this would get along with Mirage, or lots of other particular Frame interactions, but trust me - this thing isย veryย breakable. The reload is also inspired by the M1941 Johnson rifle! ย Edited December 11, 2022 by (XBOX)Fluffywolf36 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Sentient 'Lucence' Plasma Shotgun โA sentient plasma shotgun. Quick trigger pulls fires a saturating stream of plasma, while charged shots condense it into a single white-hot lance that punches through armor with ease. Aiming down sights automatically begins the charge.โ โcodex Lore This shotgun is one of the extraordinarily few Sentient weapons purpose-built for human hands, designed to guard installations in relatively close quarters. Unlike numerous other Sentient โfirearmsโ (we use this term loosely) it does not technically have an altfire. Instead, quick, hipfire shorts launch a short, wide dispersion blast of plasma similar to Plasmor projectiles. Each of these projectiles penetrate human targets, and bounce twice on hard surfaces. ย Holding down the trigger to charge the weapon, however, focuses this short burst into a high-intensity lance of superheated gas which punches through enemies with ease. This drastically increases its range, damage, and headshot damage, drastically shrinking the size of the projectile as well.ย ย This latter part is admittedly worth it for the sake of its sheer damage.ย ย The shotgun can be fired at partial charge, though the headshot multiplier is only active at full charge*. In addition, unlike other weapons, the charge can be held indefinitely. The weapon will automatically begin charging while aimed down sights. ย It was designed for the close quarters of various Sentient fortresses and Murexes near the Shattered Moon of Oberon, which guarded that rarest of things: A ship-scale sentient Condrix gate, known as Tsikuriโs Gate. Or at least, that was the Orokin codename for itย ย According to the Orokin, the gate was a massive weapon that would allow the Sentients to swarm into the Origin System like locusts, strip all planets clear of human (read: Orokin) life, and render the Origin System to the stillness that existed before humans even discovered fire. ย โฆadmittedly, the Sentients absolutelyย wouldย do this, but the Orokin never seemed to mention how this was directly their fault and how they defined how the Sentients saw humanity as a whole. ย This was not entirely true in the case of Tsikuriโs Gate. The Sentients might use the gate to do this, certainly, but against all odds the Sentient Tsikuri, Eyes-Between-Worlds, had agreed to use it to transfer a population of humans to a new world where they would forsake technology and live in harmony with the planet they found. ย Given the Sentientโs proclivities, it was well-known among the Exodites that would escape through the gate what might happen. Perhaps they would be used as a menagerie for the Sentients, little more than pets. Though in all honesty, this was little different from how the Orokin treated them already.

These were, after all, people so desperate that at one point a moon-killing asteroid was seen as a liberating force. ย Weapons that could stand up against Orokin armor were rare, and anything that could lead to their creation was often destroyed by Tenno squads. And so, to guard the various garrisons and capacitors, along with various components of the Gate, Tsikuri devised this shotgun.ย ย From what Orokin archimedians could determine, it bears a similarity to the various tool precepts uploaded into the Sentients by the long-since-Jade-Lightened Perintol.

(how it feels getting a comment right about now =D ) Thanksย so much!ย Funny story about this btw - I got the idea to make it burst, cause I'd been replaying Deadspace 1. See one thing I'd been thinking about was how 1ย andย 2 sort of... deconstruct the standard FPS guns. If that makes sense. Like, look at the Line Gun and Force Gun. Both are technically shotguns. Sort of. The Line Gun is like a pump-action because it's meant for short-mid range crowd control, and the Force Gun is like a Super Shotgun because it's meant for extremely close range crowd control. So I wanted to capture some of that with an effect that felt... shotgun-ish but not quite. Also, as it happens, this thread's had about.... a bunch of burst shotguns?ย Yeah, there's been a bunch of other burstfire shotguns on this thread! There was the Quadrille from awhile back, that had semiauto and four-round burst (I still haven't statted it. Wack). There was also the Laikan from two years back, which is four-round burst but only in the way the Quartakk is, and is basically a Line Gun but with buckshot instead of plasma. It was specifically designed to feel like it was made while suffering from a head injury. And the Cromlech, which was two-round autoburst cause I really wanted it to Feel like it was double-barreled. And the Brotsjor, which is also sort of three-round-burst plasmor (but the projectiles explode on hard surfaces, not enemies). The Athenaeumย mightย count, cause it has a two-round burst altfire. Also, the first shotgun I made on this thread, the Balaenis (which I likeย totallyย forgot about till now) might count, but then it's duplex-auto and IDK if that's the same thing. ....I wonder if I could make a duplex-burst shotgun. It'd have to be Grineer. Nobody else couldย possiblyย be that stupid. It'd need a passing resemblance to a meat grinder, of course. I'm also toying with the next autoshotgun I make having a burst altfire... but instead of buckshot, it shoots slugs. I thought it'd be interesting, and it plays on how shotguns have so many different kids of ammo.

But the nickname doesnโt quite fit. Isnโt it a launcher? It has a blast radius. Is it a shotgun? It has short range and fires multiple projectiles. Is itโฆ a rifle? Itโs burstfire, but not too long rangedโฆโ Lore The Brotsjorย fires a three-shot burst of projectiles similar to those launched by the Catchmoon. These have near-infinite enemy punch-through.... and explode on hard surfaces. They can also be remotely detonated in mid-flight! Its origins are shrouded in mystery. One day, it wasnโt there - and the next, a Level Dawn account released the blueprint over the feeds, saturating the Jovians, Neptunian Plutonian, and even Saturnine systems with access to an open-sourced anti-Proxy weapon thatโs required components common or easily fabricated in Corpus jurisdictions. In fact, the magazine is based on a Solaris design specifically from Rude Zuud.ย The barrel recoils with each shot fired. Itโs best used against shielded Corpus, machinery, and various Proxies - Moas and Ospreys and the like.ย Rumors circulate that it was used against ancient machines that ravaged the system, and thatโs why itโs so profoundly effective. Much of the Origin System reads this as a belief that itโs meant for use against the Sentients. But another, stranger rumor suggests that it predates the Orokin Lithic Expansion, in the Long Dark when humanity found themselves scattered across the Origin system on airless rocks with only half-remembered life support machinery to keep them breathing. That before this dark, forgotten epoch, it was built for use against a race of thinking machines that made war with humanity, shattered whatever orderย and spurred the Seven Preceptsโ prohibition on artificial intelligence. ย Others claim that this is sensationalist marketing for its original creators. After all, the distant past of the Origin System is so poorly understood that little knowledge survives to this day, and little concrete evidence of a war against machines exists. On the one hand it has slightly better range than the Plasmor. On the other hand, it doesnโt have the shot for shot devastation of the Plasmorโs unmissable boulder of doom. Itโs a common sight among the outer planets - but not on the war zones within Grineer space. While some Solaris United strikers have been known to assemble their own, they prefer kitguns overall due to their small size and ease of disassembly. The Catchmoon may have lower power and range, but it's also extremely easy to hide in a coat... or in a rig, if you're willing to stomach some minor hair loss. A lowered sperm count probably isn't an issue if you're Solaris. Clicking the right spot on the codex entry will play this secret message: โTuuri,For the last time, not everything you donโt understand has to be Tau. I get what Grineer rule makes you think. But for the love of the Allfather. Itโs not Tau. Anyone could tell you that.We found the blueprint on Europa. Itโs definitely manmade, maybe even oHuman-made.

But we found this blueprint on the computers thatย didย work. Aina, our linguist, they deduced it was written in some kind of creole. Thereโs a lot of words Aina really struggled to understand. But from what we can tell, itโs some kind of anti-Proxy weapon.ย This weapon is meant for simplicity above all else. Thereโs a bunch of components we have that are broadly similar, like a communication laser, surge protectors. It plays merry void with shields and proxies. Destroys machinery. Itโsย perfectย for use against the Corpus, even some Grineer. Anyone should be able to build this.But this thing makes me wonder: What was this used for? Iโm sure someoneโs going to market it like your average Solaris kitgun, but itโs not made for use against an Osprey or Bursa. Even if it cuts through them like a hot knife through butter. Itโs forย some kind ofโฆย ancient proxy. Old as the Orokin, maybe older. And why was it built so simple? I could build this thing in a cave with a box of scraps. Clearly, there was an intent behind that.I could give this to the Corpus. I could. Iโd make a lot of money. But I donโt want to see them finding out about this lost history. And I donโt want to see them prepared for how this gun works.I want to just open source this terbeyisz and see what happens. Iโm not much of a historian, but itโs clear what was meant to happen.~Butler ย It has a high base critical chance of 36%, with a bandaid mod sold by Rude Zuud that increases crit chance by 200%, bringing the total critical chance up to 108%. ย Thereโs a good reason for this.

If Ganymede comes with customizable Ospreys, โBurkitshiโ will be a component, likely the main chassis or whatever. First off: why 36% crit? Why is the crit the way it is? Why is there a bandaid mod? Why didnโt I pile it with status? Because itโs meant for orange crit or even red crit. Why 36% and the bandaid mod? Cause if I statted it to be able to orange crit without a riven and/or some other mod, the crit chance would get too big. Itโd be too easy for it to push itself past 200% crit. The bandaid mod was the best way to do it while keeping it as a shotgun. Why does Rude Zuud sell it? Cause a kitgun loader is a component, and youโd likely be curious as to what this is. Speaking of which, why am I so insistent on keeping it as a shotgun? Wellโฆ itโs burstfire, and I want people to think of it as a shotgun. Itโs not meant to be long-ranged. Or even really medium-ranged. They need to think of it as a shotgun. That out of the way, this was inspired by Lord of Wolves from Destiny, a shotgun thatโs burstfire instead of firing buckshot. ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Fun Elysium Facts! So, I'm doing a pistol that's very similar to the Elysium "Assault cannon" from awhile back, and I had to retcon in some lore. So, here's some fun facts that hopefully don't interfere with this thread's very,ย veryย loose canon. Heh. Loose cannon. The Elysium is primarily manufactured by the SIF, or Saturnine Independence Front. The Saturnine Independence Front, who also manufacture the Bigun ย ฬถUฬถhฬถhฬถhฬถย the Marris. Because it holds 25 rounds, it would be...ย aboutย .60 caliber? Somewhere between .50 and .60 caliber, anyway. The ungodly recoil is (somewhat) compensated by the fact that it is really,ย reallyย heavy. Apparently, the SIF make some of their money by licensing weapons to Ganymede State Arms. They make all those Ganymedean guns I used to draw.ย ย ย On 2020-06-22 at 11:28 AM, (XBOX)Fluffywolf36 said: Homemade 'Elysium' Assault Cannon โThe Elysium is a weapon design older than dirt. In fact, depending on what planet or moon youโre standing on, itโs older. To keep it competitive with the increasingly powerful armories of the Big Two and the Tenno, the Scum, pirates, rebels, and colonists that use this autocannon - or assault cannon, as its users insist on calling it - gave it the ability to switch between armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds on the fly. Itโs especially popular among the SIF, who - as always - have a weird sort of attractionย to blowing enemies up from the inside. Beggars canโt be choosers, so these are often made from whatever parts its users have on hand.โCodex ย In one form or another, a weapon with the basic design of the Elysium has been a favorite of pirates, homesteaders, explorers, the Voriiย clans, and anyone on the fringes of civilization sinceย beforeย the Orokin Empire. Legend has it that an Elysium in a much smaller, more cut-down form was used during the first Technocyte outbreak on Earth, long before true spaceflight. Even the Orokin took notice of its robust frame and reliability, creating their own version in the form of the Avakan series. It even lives on in part within Ganymedeโs armories, a massive influence on the โChadamโ autoshotgun. This current pattern of Elysium is an evolution of that. Originally a shotgun based on the same platform, this particular Elysium boasts a magazine welded together from two, a reinforced barrel, fin-stabilized flechette ammo, and an onboard, heavily simplified, Orokin-derived foundry that can reconfigure its ammo from armor-piercing toย contact-detonated high-explosive. Itโs primitive, heavy, and slow, and itโs almost trivial for the Grineer and Corpus to make something just as effective (with less complex ammunition) in larger quantities. Also, it is extremely heavy.ย ย As the improvised weapons of the Origin System go, the Elysium is towards the higher end.... but onlyย just,ย at a 7, with 10 being Kitguns and 1 being a shiv made of rusty metal or a flintlock pistol. Stuff that would be hopelessly outclassed by literally anyone else. They're most commonly manufactured by the SIF (Saturnine Independence Front) in former Grineer workshops made in the Iapetan Shieldwall. While the Elysium is made on less advanced, slower techniques than Grineer firearms, this results in an overall more reliable, durable firearm.Among factions with access to higher tech, the Elysium is seen as a lot of effort and investment for questionable returns. After all, a Kitgun or a captured Corpus or Grineer firearm requires fewer materials to create, is lighter, and has more reserve ammo. Also, the ammunition is harder to fabricate.ย In fact, earlier versions simply used very large bullets to even have a chance against the shields or heavy armor of the Corpus and Grineer - and they required you to aim for the head or armor weakpoints to do any real damage. The addition of armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds during the Tenno Resurgence finally allowed it to hold its own in combat.But nonetheless, among the many downtrodden and beaten of the Origin System, (and even some Tenno) the Elysium keeps pace.ย In fact, during Operation Skyguard, when the Grineer attempted to drop the infested Grineer hulkย Vorgraย on Iapetusโ new capitol, the Tenno Haruka Lorne once referred to it as โthe best assault rifle Iโve ever used against Infested.โ Itโs a statement that rings true all across the system. After all, itโs an assault rifle. With armor-piercing. And explosive. Itโs hard to go wrong with that. The Ganymedean version is the Vos Armaments KA-39, a version made using advanced polymers that reduce weight and comes with guaranteed electricity procs on impact while using explosive altfire. In gameplay terms, the KA-39 isnโt a separate weapon - itโs a stat skin much like the Brokk. โLetโs be honest. There was no way to make an Elysium non lethal, less-lethal, or anything other than โoutrageously lethal.โ Plus side, the Corpus and Grineer have made sure I donโt care about that.โโYesha Vos ย STATS SharedTrigger: AutoFire Rate: 6.8Magazine: 25Reload: 2.8sRecoil: HighReserve Ammo: 250 ย Primary -ย HV Rounds Shots have high-punch through.

While itโs .5 seconds less than the Fedorova, this actuallyย isย more noticeable because you need Adhesive Blast to make sure it explodes against enemies. I guess in that case the best-case scenario is a riven that increases fire rate and status, because letโs be honest,ย nobodyโs going to pass up this thingโs chance for 100% status (or Hunter Munitions) in exchange for a flat fire rate mod.

(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) SIF 'Luisa' Heavy Pistol โAn odd hybrid of PDW and heavy pistol, this SIF weapon fires modified flare rounds with a crude armor-piercing tip that pushes bullets justย barelyย far enough into armor to do serious damage. Comes with semiauto and full-auto fire, though full-auto requires you to unfold the stock and slows down motion.โ Codex Special traits: Kills with this weapon temporarily increase: Melee attack speedย Weapon switch speed Altfire activation speed Movement speed ย ย Lore SIF gunsmiths and worker co-ops like to portray themselves โsecond only to the Tenno!โ in the art of gunsmithing. This isnโtย entirelyย true, but every single one of Ganymedeโs competitors* had to admit they did a good job with the Luisa.ย Built on a slightly smaller relative of their Elysium assault cannon, the Luisa is a surprisingly difficult weapon to describe. It has just aย fewย more rounds than typical** high-caliber semiauto pistols and revolvers of the Origin System, and itโs capable of both semiauto and full-auto fire. Full-auto fire, however, virtuallyย requiresย the stock to be unfolded to have even a chance of controlling its punishing recoil. It traces its bigger brotherโs capacity for ergonomics, replacing its rather brick-shaped (and rather brick-sized) magazine for a slightly thinner angled magazine thatโs easier for a wielder to grip, in addition to slightly smaller rounds. A full stock would be more helpful, but thenโฆย well. Then it wouldnโt be much of a pistol. The folding stock and easily removed muzzle deviceย alsoย ensure a market niche among various saboteurs and Solaris Rail Agents. As it takes more time to flip a stock than a switch, switching to altfire takesโฆ relatively long compared to other weapons. Not intolerably, mind. Due to the stock, thereโs a slight movement penalty for having the weapon out in full auto. Thatโs not the only downside that its full-auto has, however. It also has a minor movement penalty (not as profound as Arch-guns, mind) when active. Luckily, getting kills with this weapon will temporarily increase movement speed and weapon switch speed, so thatโs easily remedied. In both fire modes, it launches primitive explosive rounds patterned after flare charges, tipped with penetrators. These punch through most light armor, and - if anything - areย moreย dangerous when aimed at Grineer riot shields, as they penetrateย justย enough to shower an enemy in flame. This, along with its dubious construction, has earned it a reputation as "The poor man's handcannon" - a weapon for those who can't afford an energy pistol on the same level as Zuud's work, haven't scavenged a sufficiently power Grineer gun, or haven't bought a surplus Tenno pistol. Perhaps adding some insult to injury, the Ganymede State Arms 'Largo' pistol has greater stopping power, in smaller ammo, and a better trigger. Footnotes**** * For example, Ganymede State Arms and various Corpus operations. Iย doย still have a Ganymedean SMG around somewhere. I should color that.ย ** i.e, Not the Sepulcrum. That thing's mag is deeper than House of Leaves. *** This obviously doesnโt have punchthrough - itโs just me handwaving away why the shield doesnโt protect enemies from the heat damage. **** I nearly spelled this โFootntoesโ and I think thatโs really funny. ย Stats ย Mods: Secondary Mag size: 18 Reload time: 2.5s ย SemiOn Impact: Trigger: Semi Fire Rate: 2.2 Damage: 50 25 Impact 20 Puncture 5 Slash Critical Chance: 33% Critical Multiplier: 2.4x Status Chance: 17% Headshot Multiplier: 3.15x Projectile Type: non-hitscan ย Radial Damage: 40 Heat Critical Chance: 33% Critical Multiplier: 2.4x Status Chance: 17% Blast Radius: 2.5m Damage Falloff: 100% damage at 0m 30% damage at 1.8m Projectile Type: explosion ย Autoย On Impact: Trigger: auto Fire Rate: 4.5 Damage: 40 20 Impact 16 Puncture 4 Slash Critical Chance: 25% Critical Multiplier: 2.3x Status Chance: 25% Projectile Type: non-hitscan ย Radial Damage: 50 Heat Critical Chance: 25% Critical Multiplier: 2.3x Status Chance: 25% Blast Radius: 2.5m Damage Falloff: 100% damage at 0m 30% damage at 1.8m Projectile Type: explosion ย Artist Notes For those of you who don't remember earlier workย like the Marris, the SIF are a group of human terrorists from Saturn that've manage to capture the moons Iapetus and Hyperion, at least. Their culture and language are inspired by various Scandinavian cultures, the Inuit... and, weirdly enough,ย kurdistan,ย because I named one of their sniper rifles the "Zagro"ย and there was no way out of it. I don't know where or if I said it, but they also have control of the Norse Group of moons of Saturn, such as Jarnsaxa... and they originated on Siaarnaq. Likely also the Inuit Group. Iapetus is to them what New York City is to New York State - not the capital, but also so prominent that it might as well be. This is because it's the biggest moon they've managed to capture. That out of the way, the idea for this was so stupid tbh. It was just โWhat if Veraโฆ but bolter?!โย There's also some other influences in there - the machine pistol-like silhouette, for example, takes inspiration from the Borz SMG. I actually haveย anotherย machine pistol made by the SIF and inspired by the Borz somewhere, but I likeย totallyย forgot about it and should get to that at some point. The mention of the ammo using flare charges was inspired by the Volg 'Spitfire' pistol from Dark Heresy. This is described by 1d4chan as:"Little more than a crudely modified Lucifer pattern launcher โ which is a handgun-like device common on frontier worlds for firing signal flares, tow lines and the like โ the Spitfire was an innovation that, according to popular myth, was devised by an outcast Magnavar tech-adept named Verey. The story has it that while this Tech-Priestess was exiled in Volg, she made the first Spitfires to help combat a swarming of giant Maw-flukes. The weapon hit a marketing jackpot by being both effective and popular, and the more talented of Volgโs arms dealers have been turning them out ever since. The Spitfireโs fame and construction has spread and some are even sold at inflated prices as real "Bolt Pistols" to those too provincial or naive to know better." Because WF doesn't have much in the way of bolters (except the Sepulcrum) the "poor man's bolter" aspect couldn't be fit in. At least, not as much. Beyond that, the general idea is sort of a combination of a Bolter and braced autoguns from Darktide. Full auto fire is meant to compensate for its increased DPS and accuracy with a lack of motion.

Neo3602 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 1 hour ago, (XBOX)Fluffywolf36 said: SIF 'Luisa' Heavy Pistol โAn odd hybrid of PDW and heavy pistol, this SIF weapon fires modified flare rounds with a crude armor-piercing tip that pushes bullets justย barelyย far enough into armor to do serious damage. Comes with semiauto and full-auto fire, though full-auto requires you to unfold the stock and slows down motion.โ Codex Special traits: Kills with this weapon temporarily increase: Melee attack speedย Weapon switch speed Altfire activation speed Movement speed ย ย Lore SIF gunsmiths and worker co-ops like to portray themselves โsecond only to the Tenno!โ in the art of gunsmithing. This isnโtย entirelyย true, but every single one of Ganymedeโs competitors* had to admit they did a good job with the Luisa.ย Built on a slightly smaller relative of their Elysium assault cannon, the Luisa is a surprisingly difficult weapon to describe. It has just aย fewย more rounds than typical** high-caliber semiauto pistols and revolvers of the Origin System, and itโs capable of both semiauto and full-auto fire. Full-auto fire, however, virtuallyย requiresย the stock to be unfolded to have even a chance of controlling its punishing recoil. It traces its bigger brotherโs capacity for ergonomics, replacing its rather brick-shaped (and rather brick-sized) magazine for a slightly thinner angled magazine thatโs easier for a wielder to grip, in addition to slightly smaller rounds. A full stock would be more helpful, but thenโฆย well. Then it wouldnโt be much of a pistol. The folding stock and easily removed muzzle deviceย alsoย ensure a market niche among various saboteurs and Solaris Rail Agents. As it takes more time to flip a stock than a switch, switching to altfire takesโฆ relatively long compared to other weapons. Not intolerably, mind. Due to the stock, thereโs a slight movement penalty for having the weapon out in full auto. Thatโs not the only downside that its full-auto has, however. It also has a minor movement penalty (not as profound as Arch-guns, mind) when active. Luckily, getting kills with this weapon will temporarily increase movement speed and weapon switch speed, so thatโs easily remedied. In both fire modes, it launches primitive explosive rounds patterned after flare charges, tipped with penetrators. These punch through most light armor, and - if anything - areย moreย dangerous when aimed at Grineer riot shields, as they penetrateย justย enough to shower an enemy in flame. This, along with its dubious construction, has earned it a reputation as "The poor man's handcannon" - a weapon for those who can't afford an energy pistol on the same level as Zuud's work, haven't scavenged a sufficiently power Grineer gun, or haven't bought a surplus Tenno pistol. Perhaps adding some insult to injury, the Ganymede State Arms 'Largo' pistol has greater stopping power, in smaller ammo, and a better trigger. Footnotes**** * For example, Ganymede State Arms and various Corpus operations. Iย doย still have a Ganymedean SMG around somewhere. I should color that.ย ** i.e, Not the Sepulcrum. That thing's mag is deeper than House of Leaves. *** This obviously doesnโt have punchthrough - itโs just me handwaving away why the shield doesnโt protect enemies from the heat damage. **** I nearly spelled this โFootntoesโ and I think thatโs really funny. ย Stats ย Mods: Secondary Mag size: 18 Reload time: 2.5s ย SemiOn Impact: Trigger: Semi Fire Rate: 2.2 Damage: 50 25 Impact 20 Puncture 5 Slash Critical Chance: 33% Critical Multiplier: 2.4x Status Chance: 17% Headshot Multiplier: 3.15x Projectile Type: non-hitscan ย Radial Damage: 40 Heat Critical Chance: 33% Critical Multiplier: 2.4x Status Chance: 17% Blast Radius: 2.5m Damage Falloff: 100% damage at 0m 30% damage at 1.8m Projectile Type: explosion ย Autoย On Impact: Trigger: auto Fire Rate: 4.5 Damage: 40 20 Impact 16 Puncture 4 Slash Critical Chance: 25% Critical Multiplier: 2.3x Status Chance: 25% Projectile Type: non-hitscan ย Radial Damage: 50 Heat Critical Chance: 25% Critical Multiplier: 2.3x Status Chance: 25% Blast Radius: 2.5m Damage Falloff: 100% damage at 0m 30% damage at 1.8m Projectile Type: explosion ย Artist Notes For those of you who don't remember earlier workย like the Marris, the SIF are a group of human terrorists from Saturn that've manage to capture the moons Iapetus and Hyperion, at least. Their culture and language are inspired by various Scandinavian cultures, the Inuit... and, weirdly enough,ย kurdistan,ย because I named one of their sniper rifles the "Zagro"ย and there was no way out of it. I don't know where or if I said it, but they also have control of the Norse Group of moons of Saturn, such as Jarnsaxa... and they originated on Siaarnaq. Likely also the Inuit Group. Iapetus is to them what New York City is to New York State - not the capital, but also so prominent that it might as well be. This is because it's the biggest moon they've managed to capture. That out of the way, the idea for this was so stupid tbh. It was just โWhat if Veraโฆ but bolter?!โย There's also some other influences in there - the machine pistol-like silhouette, for example, takes inspiration from the Borz SMG. I actually haveย anotherย machine pistol made by the SIF and inspired by the Borz somewhere, but I likeย totallyย forgot about it and should get to that at some point. The mention of the ammo using flare charges was inspired by the Volg 'Spitfire' pistol from Dark Heresy. This is described by 1d4chan as:"Little more than a crudely modified Lucifer pattern launcher โ which is a handgun-like device common on frontier worlds for firing signal flares, tow lines and the like โ the Spitfire was an innovation that, according to popular myth, was devised by an outcast Magnavar tech-adept named Verey. The story has it that while this Tech-Priestess was exiled in Volg, she made the first Spitfires to help combat a swarming of giant Maw-flukes. The weapon hit a marketing jackpot by being both effective and popular, and the more talented of Volgโs arms dealers have been turning them out ever since. The Spitfireโs fame and construction has spread and some are even sold at inflated prices as real "Bolt Pistols" to those too provincial or naive to know better." Because WF doesn't have much in the way of bolters (except the Sepulcrum) the "poor man's bolter" aspect couldn't be fit in. At least, not as much. Beyond that, the general idea is sort of a combination of a Bolter and braced autoguns from Darktide. Full auto fire is meant to compensate for its increased DPS and accuracy with a lack of motion. Admittedly, I donโt know it Darktideโs braced autoguns increase DPS, I do not have an Xbox Series X ( I needed to spend the money onโฆ lots of other stuff) but I liked the idea of one fire mode having such a tradeoff. Looks fun, like that using switching it to full auto changes how it looks. Also the buffs that is gives on kill could be fun when using a slower melee weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Grineer โFrakshotโ Autoshotgun Pistol โThe favored shotgun pistol of Grineer โcellwatchโ troops, this short, portable shotgun boasts higher magazine capacity and reload speed than the standard Brakkโฆ in addition to a slug altfire.โ Codex ย Lore Inspired by various Tenno shotguns, this Grineer automatic shotgun pistol represents a small yet noticeable step forward for Grineer firearms design. Itโs compact, it has no self-damage risk, and it was designed to allow Kuva shield troopers to easily brace it against their shield to be highly controllable. Beyond that, it was also designed for use against Infested in ultra-close quarters. Its slow, steady full-auto fire can let loose a barrage of taser slugs that deal radial electric damageโฆ or, uniquely, shells loaded with flak ammunition similar to the Drakgoon, making this the most damaging automatic pistol in the Grineer arsenal.ย The flak rounds are rather unique among Grineer shotguns, similar only to the Vuhnder blunderbuss. Each shell shoots three projectiles, which split into three projectiles similar to the Drakgoonโs after sixteen meters. Shooting an enemy before the projectiles split causes the child projectiles to bounce towards nearby enemies.ย This weapon is incapable of punch-through. Its red-and-cream color, along with light green lights, marks it out clearly as a Cellwatch firearm.ย Grineer โCellwatchโ are, of course, the Grineer unit tasked with burning out Infestation, along with cleaning out Derelicts of all kinds for valuable salvage. They boast a conflicting reputation among independent and even Corpus-aligned settlements. On the one hand, they have a not-unjustified reputation for collateral damage. However, few people mind this, on the basis that potential Infestation outbreaks areย just that terrifying. If someone on Ganymede, Jarnsaxa, or Hyperion has managed to pirate a Grineer Warsat to show footage of them orbitally bombarding Epimetheus or Amaruq**, everyone breathes a sigh in relief because at least another Infested outbreak has been spared. At least itโs not another Eris. At least, itโs notย them. But on the other hand, not everyone is willing to countenance the massive loss of life caused in the extermination of technocyte. Many people - Ostrons, Solaris, Ganymedean, Myconan, Oeizu, SIF - have lost friends and family to Cellwatch purges, many of whom might yet have been saved. Even they have to admit, however, that Infestation strikes fast. Few Ostrons exist thatย havenโtย heard the chilling message from Konzuโs long-dead uncle that warns people from long-dead Eris. ย notes *For those of you that donโt remember Nightwave Episode 2, this is a slang term Infestation. ** Saturn apparently has lots of undiscovered moons. So Amaruq would be one, and itโd be in the Inuit Group. ย Stats Trigger: Auto Fire Rate: 3.8 Mods: Secondary Mag size: 13 Reload time: 2.5s ย Buckshot Trigger: auto Multishot: 3 Range: 16m Damage: 48ย 27 Impact 18 Slash 3 puncture Critical Chance: 20% Critical Multiplier: 2.1x Status Chance: 10% Projectile Type: Non-Hitscan Falloff: None ย Child projectiles: Trigger: auto Multishot: 3 Damage: 16 9 Impact 6 Slash 1ย puncture Critical Chance: 20% Critical Multiplier: 2.1x Status Chance: 10% Projectile Type: Non-hitscan Falloff: 100% at 2m (18m total) 40% damageย at 30m Bounce on hard surfaces ย Slug On Impact: Trigger: auto Fire Rate: 4.5 Damage: 40 20 Impact 16 Puncture 4 Slash Critical Chance: 25% Critical Multiplier: 2.3x Status Chance: 25% Projectile Type: non-hitscan ย Radial Damage: 70 Electric Critical Chance: 25% Critical Multiplier: 2.3x Status Chance: 25% Blast Radius: 2.5m Damage Falloff: 100% damage at 0m 30% damage at 2.2m Projectile Type: explosion ย Artist notes:As inspired by the mag-scatter from Planetside. Sort of. Itโs not full-auto. But I noticed that the Mag-Scatter looks like a cut up Kel-Tec KSG scaled down to pistol size, and that was just funny enough to extrapolate into a Grineer gun. Iโm probably not going to extrapolate this into a full-size firearm as the bore is just too tiny, and thatโll lookย weird. Thereโs also some inspiration from the art ofย Andrew Zinchenko. With luck, I didnโt make anything that feels too much like a copy - I just wanted to synthesize a bunch of disparate influences together.

The funny thing is that was sort of an accident - I didn't want the stock flipping out to just happen instantly, cause that'd take out some of the "weight" of the weapon. But then I figured "Wait a minute, I can't just have a fire selector type weapon that's worse!" so I added in a benefit for switch speed, then I figured "What else can I add this to?" Overall, I'mย veryย happy with this cause it means I have a weapon that looks less offbeat than a lot of WF's arsenal, but might actually have a surprising amount of utility if you use it with Voruna or whatev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Iย mayย create a new weapon model for this at some point - while the current Avanc model is good, I found something that mightย convey the "pistol-sized grenade launcher" idea I had better. Still, this is aย veryย good model idea on my part (I drew it all in a day!). If I do this, congratulations, you get about 1.5 new artworks in one update lol.

Each bullet from this pistol is actually a tiny Infested organism, which burrows into enemies and spawns a barnacle-like organism that sprays fire in the direction of the wielder . A Tenno that advances quickly can redirect the flame towards enemies, becoming an unpredictable force of destruction.โ --Codex ย ย Lore โWhoseย ideaย was this?!โ โHaruka Lorne โIt was me. I will not apologize for art.โโGinebra Oster ... As much as the Grineer Empireย haveย culture, the still-raging Mercury Front left an indelible stain on it. Of the Grineer-Narmer War (typically referred to by Corpus, Tenno, Ostron, and others as the New War) it was truly the Grineerโs most brutal battle, earning a status as equally revered and reviled as the Battle of Venus is to the Corpus. Narmer razed Grineer complexes, veiling their personnel with impunity and liberating hostages, and Infested outbreaks were seen as a quirk of strategy, such as planning around a storm on Earth or Mars. Grineer deserted to Steel Meridian (or even Kahlโs Regiment) en masse. In addition, they found themselves fighting alongside Corpus auxiliaries to burn out the Infested, which caused no small amount of friction and โfriendlyโ fire incidents. This is still going on, in reduced capacity, but the Avanc is a relic of the worst of that time. Built in the labs of Doctor Tengus, even as the Mercury Front raged outside, this pistol speaks to an unsettling truth:ย That the Grineer broke the Gradivus Accords to experiment in Infestation-based weaponry. These pistols were found in Tengus labs on the battle-wracked Mercury, abandoned in one of the three-way battle between Grineer (and allied forces), Narmer, and Infested that still rages to this day. Each bullet that this pistol fires is in actuality an Infested organism that shoots a spray of flameโฆ. Towards the wielderโฆ on impact. Whoever designed it must have been quite mad at the time. The concept behind the Avanc can best be described as โamazingly stupid.โ Each bullet is, in fact, an incubator for an Infested mollusc-like creature that sprays fire in the direction of the wielder. Tenno who stay mobile on the battlefield prosper with this pistol, as the flamethrower theyโve spawned tracks them while they rush behind enemy targets in its way. ย In addition, the Infested organism holds more โfuelโ if it impacts an enemy. Much of the flesh (or metal) displaced by the impact of the round is devoured by the Infested organism, which uses it to further fuel its flamethrower. Information on its intended use is, to put it simply,ย conflicting.ย It has obvious utility against Infested with its incendiary damage, but this is difficult to reconcile with Tengusโ obsession with Infestation. Reports suggest that it was used in the Grineer-Narmer war, further suggesting that it was an anti-Narmer weapon. It has three main users. Firstly, the Grineer - While various Grineer commanders in anti-Infested โCellwatchโ units use it in a rocket launcher-like role, itโs also common as a sidearm for Grineer Hellions, some of the only Grineer units with the mobility to take the fullest advantage of this weapon. Secondly, and perhaps most surprisingly, Solaris โzit-poppers.โ Among those contracted to purge or contain the Mercury strain or the Venusian โDraugrโ strain, this weapon fetches a high price.ย Thirdly, predictably, the Tenno. This weaponโs potential with a Warframeโs mobility is, not to put too fine a point on it, Kavatnip to a Tenno. Firing at an enemy, watching the flame lance out towards enemies, and controlling it with their mad dashesโฆ Itโs childโs play for them. One particular quirk of this weapon is that it doesnโt track towards a Tenno in Operator mode, so they can keep its location fixed by staying in Operator mode. Also, only five flamethrowers can be active at one time. Firing more than that number just causes shots to explode, dealing radial heat damage. Iโm too lazy to stat this. ย Shared Stats Fire Rate: 2.8 Reload:ย 3s Magazine:ย 9 ย On Impact Status Chance: 18% Critical Chance: 33% Critical Multiplier: 2.7x Headshot Multiplier: 3.15x Damage: 120 55 Impact 40 Slash 15 Puncture Projectile Type: Non-hitscan ย Flamethrower Magazine:ย 10 Critical Chance: 18% Critical Multiplier: 2.7x Damage: 28 Heat Status Chance: 33% Range: 8m Projectile Type: Discharge ย Artist Notes: Fun fact: Originally, this was a Tenno weapon, but it'd been awhile since I made a Grineer gun and this just seemed toย fit,ย ย so then I was all like "Eh" Digital Extremes once divided their weapons into various categories ofย precision, crowd control,ย andย bullethose.ย My thread has innovated a new category partly inspired by playing Spacelords awhile back (I miss Ginebraโs booty) -ย Flowย weapons. ย ย Thisย is a weapon directly interacts with or exaggerates your playstyle - for example, thereโs an LMG I made that gains increased damage and fire rate once you cast an ability, a shotgun pistol that refills ammo on melee kills, another shotgun pistol that decreases in accuracy the lower the magazine to encourage you to get up close and personal, and also a revolver pistol I made that has a cryotic shotgun to set enemies up for devastating headshots and/or melee combos.ย Iโm going to be honest, I think my ability to create gimmicks that arenโtย tooย dependent on headshots kind of peaked on that one. Sort of - I mean, it still requires headshots, but you donโt need them all the time. ย Thereโs also one other thing that all those weapons have in common - oddball stats that encourage strange build setups. For example, the LMG also increases status, so you can have a gun that does 100% status and 100% crit if you build it right or get a unicorn riven. Also, using Mesaโs 1 counts as tapping the ability key twice. And for one of the shotgun pistols, magazine size is tied to accuracy, so adding Ice Storm increases the accuracy of the second and third shots. ย This pistol's no different. So hereโs some funny notes on things you can do with it:ย ย It only spawns one flamethrower. I just didnโt want to go there. The beam from said flamethrower, however,ย isย affected by multishot. Beam length is affected by Ruinous Extension. So you might want to put that in Exilus. Beam can benefit from Fulmination andย Amalgam Furax Body Count. Because the beam has its own magazine size, it also benefits from Ice Stormย andย Combo Fury. I donโt exactly know how this would get along with Mirage, or lots of other particular Frame interactions, but trust me - this thing isย veryย breakable. The reload is also inspired by the M1941 Johnson rifle! ย ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
