(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 NOTE: The Hombrage has been renamed to the Phenex. Why? Cause it was cool lol. ย ย On 2024-07-26 at 12:25 AM, (XBOX)Fluffywolf36 said: Vaulter โPHENEXโ Pistol โThis primitive Vaulter pistol might have been something to reckon with once upon a time, but the technology of the Origin System has far outstripped it. Headshots charge Incarnon form.โ --Codex Lore โWhy did we keep these ancient relics like that pistol? The same reason we kept books. The Orokin hated it, and we were people who would suffer no consequence. We needed little other reason.โ โLoid, if you have this weapon equipped. ย This pistol fires caseless flechettes propelled through a carbon nanotube barrel which conducts electricity, allowing it to function in a manner not dissimilar to a railgun by magnetically propelling ferromagnetic fin-stabilized flechettes downrange*. Somewhat unfortunately, its low projectile velocity, low stopping power, and low fire rate hold it back. However, using the Incarnon adapter that Albrecht Entrati fit into the weapon, itโs capable of rushing far past its limits - adding a blast radius, increasing velocity, increasing its damage. In Incarnon form, it fires a searing bosonic beam with unlimited enemy punchthrough that causes enemies to explode on death. The blueprint(s?) for this weapon is found in the various secret rooms within the Entrati Labs. As itโs made of particularly primitive materials, itโs very easy to craft. On the POM-2 computer that houses its blueprints, itโs listed as a Vaulter artifact. Vaulters were a civilization that lived in ancient space colonies dug into the rock of moons and asteroids, who found themselves quite unexpectedly buried under Orokin terraforming efforts - some of which may have been concerted efforts to kill them under the rampant plant growth and sea formation. Their artifacts were extraordinarily rare even during the time of the Orokin, due to the Orokin policy of destroying every Vaulter artifact they could find, and forcing them through a process of cultural genocide so thorough the Vaulters forgot even the name of their culture. In the contemporary Origin System, a Vaulter relic is so impossibly rare that even Parvos Granum might raise an eyebrow at it. ย In fact, Vaulter artifacts are a keen interest for Granum, who remains curious about this legacy of pre-Orokin eras. Allegedly, any Orokin noble found to possess these relics was to be killed by Warframes or the Scoria, but the highest-ranking Orokin had a way of evading punishment under their own laws. Somewhat superficially, it resembles the Tenno โLargoโ pistol. Unlike the Largo, this is gas-operated, making it far heavier. In fact, itโs quite likely it was an ancestor due the Largo. Unlocking Incarnon nodes for it actually reveals various memories from Albrecht and Loid! โ * I prefer not to think of how Tenno firearms actually work. Maybe itโs kinda like this? Maybe theyโre electrothermal-chemical, explaining the high velocity? It doesnโt matter and ultimately I think weโre happier not thinking about it. ย Upgrade 1: โIt is, simply, a pistol. One thing distinguishes it, however: it is a Vaulter design. This one may very well have been built and designed in the great hive clusters of Earth, even before then. So many things from that time are lost, and so it was our goal to bathe such ancient artifacts in Void energy to see what memories I could extract.โ โLoid ย A: HV Rounds Increases projectile speed by 35% ย B: Keratin Trigger Increases fire rate by 40% ย C: Speed Holster: Increases swap speed, ADS speed, and aim assist. ย Upgrade 2: โHistory from before the dawn of the Empire has always been murky at best. So few things survive from beforehand. Bidanians, Oeizu, and Vaulters, Oneiroi and Satko, all of whom fled the Empire before Void travel was perfected, know something of history before the Orokin. And itโs for that reason the Orokin persecuted them so.โ โLoid ย A: Overcharged Munitions Increase damage by 75 Chaining Charged Attacks reduces their Charge Time by -12--6%. Stacks 5 times. ย B: Ganymede Drill increase damage by 75 Increase damage by 15 and fire rate by 10% for each status effect afflicting you. ย Upgrade 3 โThe strongest emotions that came from Vaulter artifacts were hatred and fear. Perhaps itโs for this reason that theโฆ incarnate form of the weapon is so aggressive and destructive. I may never know what, exactly, the vaulters hated and feared so, but I can guess.โ โLoid A: HV Rounds Increases projectile speed by 35% ย B: Hateful Grasp:ย Increases range of incarnon altfire. ย Upgrade 4: โEven without their knowledge of history, the Vaulters lived a comfortable life serviced by machines. The Orokin called that slavery, though they had plans to institute their own type of oppression. Much of their knowledge - pre-Orokin governmental systems, religions, cultures, and artworkโฆ was, as I can tell, anathema to them. Funny how they could glorify the ancient myths while also treating people from those times as barbarians.โ โAlbrecht ย A: Critical Parallax Increases Critical Chance by 21% Increases Critical Multiplier by 0.3x ย B: Elementalist Increases Status Chance by 15 ย C: Statistical Imbalance: Increase status chance by 12% Increases Critical Chance by 12% ย Stats: Type: Pistol Magazine: 14+1 Trigger: Charge ย Uncharged: (NOTE: Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger) Damage: 72 7.15 Impact 89.7 Puncture 7.15 Slash Headshot Multiplier: 3.3x Crit Chance: 24% Crit Multiplier: 2.1x Status Chance: 24% Non-Hitscan ย Charged: Charge Time: 0.9s Damage: 130 13 Impact 104 Puncture 13 Slash Headshot Multiplier: 3.3x Crit Chance: 24% Crit Multiplier: 2.1x Status Chance: 24% Punch-Through: 0.4m Non-Hitscan ย Incarnon Form Trigger: Continuous Magazine: 100 Damage: 60 Blast Crit Chance: 27% Crit Multiplier: 2.4x Status Chance: 39% Enemy Punchthrough: Infinite Object Punchthrough: Eh ย Incarnon Form Explosion: Damage: 120 Heat Range: 2m Crit Chance: 27% Crit Multiplier: 2.4x Status Chance: 39% Type: Radial Artist notes: DAMN (jam) coming up with Incarnon stuff was a headache and a half.

Siphon mode fires three bouncing, penetrating corrosive projectiles. --Codex Lore Adapted from one of Father Entratiโs designs, this weapon has more in common with a high pressure water cutter than a flamethrower. It shoots a high pressure jet of Vitriol kept within a spacial compression flask that holds more than its outward dimensions suggest. It releases a small radial burst of damage on impact with enemies and hard surfaces. Kills with this weapon leave pools of Vitriol, only three of which can be active at any time. Shooting enemies within the pool of vitriol causes toxin to arc to nearby enemies, as theย pool of Vitriol has a tendency to superconduct the energy poured into it. Said kills also charge Incarnon mode, which shoots 3 Plasmor-like projectiles that deal Corrosive damage in a horizontal spread, and bounce on hard surfaces. These also create Vitriol pools on death, and have headshot multiplier. The facts of this weaponโs design remain unknown. While Father Entrati was the engineer of the family, andย did make mechanisms to spray Vitriol, (even though he doesnโt know what it was) he has no memories of making this weapon(1). On the surface of Deimos in the distant past, this weapon was meant as a more low-tech solution to Infestation, designed for special purposes that required dissolving Infestation (often to get at more useful components) as opposed to merely burning it. In the present day, it serves as a surprisingly effective antiarmor weapon. The high-pressure jet does an appreciable amount of Puncture damage. Combined with its corrosive damage and splash damage,ย itโs a perfect choice against Rogue Culverin, melting the precious components that compose them. However, itโs also a trivial task for it to melt Grineer back into something similar to the raw gene-soup from which they were formed.

I think Chemical Dependency is really interesting as it could encourage someone to get a riven mod that increases range as a build. I also like Reincarnated as it gives you a reason to keep using the normal mode when the Incarnon gauge is full instead of simply switching to the Incarnon mode as soon as possible which ties into both the fire modes having a purpose. As a note I also did not vibe with the Gorgon's Incarnon mode when I saw explosive spikes I thought it would rapidly shoot spikes that would stick into the enemies and then explode after a delay somewhat like how blast functions now. On another note, thanks for mentioning 1d6chan. I didn't know it existed, I used to read the tactics pages on 1d4chan and I was sad when the site shutdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Steel Meridian โVaykor Fraknelโ Revolver Shotgun โBarely ergonomic, barely controllableโฆ barely survivable for anything on the other side of its three barrels. This lever-action revolver shotgun chops through enemies by firing three simultaneous blasts of Drakgoon shrapnel.โ --Codex Special Traits: Stampede Rounds: Kills with this weapon cause projectiles to ricochet towards nearby enemies. ย Devised during the Narmer War by Steel Meridian gunsmiths and Haruka Lorne, who left Deimos to help fight off Narmerโs attempt to control Ganymede. The Fraknel exists as a somewhat cruder answer to the Drakgoon, cramming its superheated shrapnel into chambers of a revolver cylinder and firing three barrels at once. It fires a horizontal wall of 15 pellets in a diamond-like shapeย that slowly flattens and spreads outward as it travels further and further. As Drakgoon shrapnel often does, it bounces once on hard surfaces but penetrates enemies. These do particularly high slash damage. It can accept Fomorian Accelerant. Killing an enemy with this weapon causes projectiles to bounce towards nearby enemies on the next shot fired. If you put on Fomorian Accelerant (yes, you can do that) then this is just limited to the first bounce of four. Because it shoots Drakgoon shrapnel, it has no falloff. However, this can be a double-edged sword - its high fire rate works against itself with its recoil, and it can be difficult to lead targets at range. Also not helping is how wide the spread can be. In its altfire mode, it fires a flat spread of 3 grenades that bounce off hard surfaces and stick to enemies.

(XBOX)Fluffywolf36 Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 Sadly, the usual anniversary post is on hold because only now did I decide to redo a relic from this thread's past. Oops. In the meantime, I could post: * Tenno Engineer's shotgun * A revolver * A pistol from a faction I made up. Which one would you like in the meantime? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lever-action revolver shotgun chops through enemies by firing three simultaneous blasts of Drakgoon shrapnel.โ --Codex Special Traits: Stampede Rounds: Kills with this weapon cause projectiles to ricochet towards nearby enemies. ย Devised during the Narmer War by Steel Meridian gunsmiths and Haruka Lorne, who left Deimos to help fight off Narmerโs attempt to control Ganymede. The Fraknel exists as a somewhat cruder answer to the Drakgoon, cramming its superheated shrapnel into chambers of a revolver cylinder and firing three barrels at once. It fires a horizontal wall of 15 pellets in a diamond-like shapeย that slowly flattens and spreads outward as it travels further and further. As Drakgoon shrapnel often does, it bounces once on hard surfaces but penetrates enemies. These do particularly high slash damage. It can accept Fomorian Accelerant. Killing an enemy with this weapon causes projectiles to bounce towards nearby enemies on the next shot fired. If you put on Fomorian Accelerant (yes, you can do that) then this is just limited to the first bounce of four. Because it shoots Drakgoon shrapnel, it has no falloff. However, this can be a double-edged sword - its high fire rate works against itself with its recoil, and it can be difficult to lead targets at range. Also not helping is how wide the spread can be.

This thing looks brutal, it's got the look of something you can beat someone to death with if you run out of ammo. Stat wise the ricocheting rounds on kill sounds fun and the grenades sound like they would be useful for slightly longer ranged combat where you can't trust the spread to go where you want it to.

Honestly I just did it cause three grenades in a spread sounded fun =D Thanks so much! 16 hours ago, Neo3602 said: I vote for the pistol from a faction you made up. Well, good news and bad news. The good news is I'll do that. The bad news is that... uh. Well. It turns out I finished the anniversary gun (yey) which I'll post in 3 days. So I'll post the pistol in about... ten days?
