I had an idea for a weapon like that that was related to Jordas, but it fell by the wayside as other projects drew my attention.

Now you've got me curious - what were you thinking?

A blade-and-whip melee weapon that was basically a length of cable taken out of Jordas' systems and tipped with a "blade" made from infested-cephalon light orb things.

...That's a really cool idea. You should stick with it.

I'll probably sketch it out one of these days, I just have too many things I want to do and not enough time to do them. You know how it goes.

I totally get it. Not only am I sitting on mountains of undercooked guns in the art dumps, but I'm also working on like three fanfics with chapters that routinely exceed 12k words.

Needs one of those fancy holographic geometric vortexes swirling within it somewhere.

Art Dump 12: KUVA TIME

Awhile ago, I was playing Enter The Gungeon, and I got the Blooper, which is a huge homage to the Blunderbuss. As shown below in this Spoiler.

An interesting thing about the Blunderbuss is that it's pump-action shotgun. But instead of a magazine tube or box magazine, the Blunderbuss is just... a tube. With a pump. That's weird, right? So I was thinking of that, and I decided to see how I could explore it.

The results are below. 

I'm gonna ask you - the people curious enough to read this threadnought - what parts of these shotguns you want to keep in the final product?

Someone's been looking at Rogga concept art

I like the barrel of the first one (on your picture), but feel like having a buttstock on this type of weapon is kinda pointless (maybe have that Sten-like stock of the 4th (again referring to your picture)?). And if it's supposed to be a blunderbuss, shouldn't it be a breechloader?

Hm, so, like, a concealable sorta single-shot pump action? Button of pellets, but, a spread vaguely like "I threw a jar of marbles on the ground and they fell where they wilt?"

 

Current money is invested in Mark 3's butt, Mark 1's trigger, Mark 2's pop-top sight, Mark 4's barrel, and Mark 4's "gripish" protrusion.

I did indeed! I was thinking about the Rogga artstyle when I thought of the Blunderbuss from Looper. Cause, well, this one-barrel pipe thing sure wasn't going to be a Tenno weapon, or a Corpus weapon, and Kuva just seemed like the only way to make it interesting. Plus, I wanted to make a primary Rogga for some time now.

I just prefer to draw primary shotguns with stocks, I guess. I'd like to make the requisite Terminator 2 homage (really, I would) but I just have an easier time imagining someone firing a shotgun with a way to brace for the recoil.

Not that I know of. I was sort of going off of various flintlock blunderbusses like this thing.

What makes you say that, though?

Not certain yet. Definitely going for something with a wide cone, though. But, not necessarily single shot. The idea was sort of like "Hey, the Zarr loads shell by shell.. so do pump-action shotguns... I know! I'll make a Zarr that's mostly a shotgun!"

Interesting. I'll try and photobash that together to see what works.

Sorry it took so long, guys! I was at bronycon... and there was a dance party... and the Too Many Pinkie Pies panel where I was accepted as one of the Pinkies... and so many cute cosplayers... and a bunch of panels.... and meeting Joshscorcher... and learning about cosplay... and also cosplaying... and beer.... and getting a signature...

That was a big weekend. Spectacor dropping in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Cephalon 'Spectacor' Tesla Shotgun

“Cephalon shotgun that fires a burst of electrolasers which arc to nearby enemies on direct hits.”

Primary Fire: Tesla Shotgun - fires electrolasers
Secondary Fire: Beam - a utility beam that releases radial heat damage

 

Special Traits:
Auto Charge: When in primary fire, this automatically charges a successive shot after firing, using surplus energy to recharge the chamber. This is meant to make the weapon less cumbersome. And, psychologically, it will make you think you’re firing a pump-action on account of the sound.

Arc Beams: On direct hits in primary fire, electricity has a 75% chance chain to the closest living enemy in range dealing half the beam’s damage. From there it will chain additional times (2 to 3 times total), halving the damage each time. Chance to arc decreases from 75% -55/% - 35/% from initial hit.

Lore

 

The Spectacor uses an array of micro-laser emitters (By default, set to wide-dispersion-wave mode) and directional prongs to ionize nearby enemies and unleash a burst of electrolasers, which saturate an area with electricity.

In altfire, it fires a precise, short-ranged beam just outside the shotgun’s effective range, which superheats anything within a 1.5m radius of the point of impact. While originally meant for welding and construction, it found a use (As so many things often do in the Origin System) cutting and clearing Infested biometal and plesh. As it fires, the curved Gammacor-like prongs float and twist backwards, giving the weapon a silhouette similar to a crossbow.

But it’s more than just a shotgun and welding combo. It can easily be reconfigured to work as a comms laser-based field transmitter, navigational beacon, less-lethal electric tool, network repeater, spectrometer - the Spectacor boasts a wide variety of functions. Built for Cephalon operatives accustomed to harsh conditions far outside the few pockets of civilization within the Origin System, it’s a rugged, powerful weapon that pushes Cephalon construction precepts to their limits.

These rare operatives (And even some Tenno, trusted with exploring areas still scarred by the Old War) swear by the Spectacor. Reported uses include reactivating ship systems, gathering data on Void and Sentient events, welding barricades into place, relaying information to Cephalons Suda and Simaris, creating emergency communications arrays, rendering suspects of interest unconscious, taking on crowds of enemies, and sabotaging enemy machinery.

It loads from a battery just under half the size of the average Corpus Power Cell, placed inside the stock in a manner similar to the Tenno “Tiberon” burst fire rifle.

 

Artist Notes:

…I don’t know what “plesh” is.

As inspired by @Stellar_Seeker’s Fulgrok, which made me start asking the question: What if the Amprex was a shotgun with the Semi trigger? While I don’t regret asking the question, I’ll be the first to admit: It was very difficult. 

Cephalon weapons, as some of you know full well, are seriously uncharted territory for us. We only have about three to work from, not counting unique variants. And the aesthetic there is not exactly conducive to shotgun designs. The ideal “shotgun silhouette,” in my mind, should be short, heavy, and thick. (Nevermind that I’ve bent this rule with the Tenebrae, but whatevs) Meanwhile Cephalon designs are ultra-minimalist and spindly, which does not exactly work with my vision of a recognizable shotgun. 

Predictably, I ended up just copying from the Scattershot from Halo 4 and onwards - I just made sure to add lots of floating, spindly individual parts. This is also why you can see so many floating parts. I’m sure you’ll also be able to find some in the same places on the Scattershot.

The alt fire was…. well, I admit it. It was tacked on. But it felt right to add it in - to give the weapon a feature that added a little more depth. The low-to-average crit is there in sort of an homage to the Strun Wraith - yes, you can build it for crit, but unlike with the Strun Wraith and more like the Astilla, you just gotta ask: Should I?

After all, I have a crit build Astilla. It’s pretty good.

The main reason behind the status focus was because every shotgun I’ve made so far (at least, all the shotguns I’ve statted, counting the minuscule amount of effort I put into starting the Somesha) has either been crit-focused, had a status-focused altfire, or both! Usually both. Since status shotguns are The Thing in Warframe, I figured I might as well cater to it here. Originally, I was going to give it 37% status, but >30% status and decent crit are the Strun Wraith’s thing. I don’t want to encroach on that. I like Strun Wraith.

Why not? It's already going to have AoE and pretty high damage by beam standards. Besides, I wanted to try that for awhile.

 

 

Also, the charge thing, well... it's just a series of audiovisual cues - a blue circle in the reticle, a cool sound kinda like this - that make it feel like a pump-action shotgun. Except, well, it's not. I couldn't add a manual pump on, because... well, it just wouldn't feel right.

I'm very fond of the cephalon weapon aesthetic (the Simulor especially) but have never really enjoyed their gameplay. This weapon looks excellent and seems like it might solve that little issue.

I get what you mean. I was just okay with the regular Gammacor (It wasn't groundbreaking and it wasn't the best beam weapon I've ever used, it was just okay I guess) and I've never used the Simulor... but it's always confused me a little how I have such a hard time trying to understand how the Simulor works. In a game like Spacelords, it'd totally fit in as one of Aneska's weapons, but in Warframe - where there's so much stuff going on at any time - sometimes I just need a weapon that I can immediately understand and doesn't feel like a minigame all on its own. Y'know what I mean?

P.S - Aneska's weapons are here. The Ionizer is the only one I actually think people would be willing to use if I somehow managed to export all of these to Warframe. Like.... with how fast-paced Warframe is and how many enemies we're typically up against, I seriously doubt that anyone would have the patience to use the Invictus (it fires bouncing explosives).

IS IT AN AUTOSHOTGUN INSPIRED BY THE AA12 AND SOMA? IT IS

TENNO 'SOMESHA' AUTOSHOTGUN

"Teach the corrupt and vile of the Origin System an object lesson in power with this slash-and-crit focused Tenno autoshotgun."

 

Stats:
Primary: Razor Buckshot Shells

Crit Chance - 35%
Crit Multiplier - 3.0x
Status Chance - 11%
Damage: 288
      144 Slash
      96 Puncture

Magazine: 20
Trigger: Auto-Spool
Rate Of Fire: 4.1
Reload: 3.2s

Secondary: Dragon's Breath Shells
Replaces all base damage types with heat. This is mostly so the wiki can have the Somesha proudly listed as the only "Auto Spool" shotgun.
(Maybe I don't even need this... ah, well. C'est la vie.)

Traits:

Accurizing Choke - spread becomes tighter the longer it's fired.

 

Lore

A crit and slash-based Tenno autoshotgun made by the maker of the Soma, in a competition between them and the Archimedian that created the Pandero, Tenora, and Quadrille. Where the maker of the Quadrille went for flexibility, the maker of the Somesha went for overwhelming force. In a fit of pique, he "borrowed" the accuracy-and-stability enhancing mechanisms of the Tenora, giving the Somesha tighter spread the longer it's fired. Its "Dragon's Breath" altfire also shoots out a cone of fire, which the Archimedian determined (correctly) would give it incredible usefulness against Infested.

Coincidentally, this also means it is compatible with Combustion Beam.

While it saw limited use in the Sentient War, it was well loved by Tenno, Dax soldiers, and others who used it to purge Infested.

 

Artist Notes: 

Sometimes, I have complex concepts for weapons. This was not one of them, because - say it with me - Crit-based autoshotgun!

As inspired by the Soma. Yes, it's a Soma in shotgun form. You want this now, don't you? Don't lie.

Originally, I called this the Amos. This was nixed, on the basis that while it was a cool Expanse reference, it just felt silly to have 'Soma' backwards. The name is actually the causative tense of the Swahili word 'Soma,' which means "to read." Somesha, however, means "make read," or "Educate." I was going to go for a a name that felt more Warframe, inspired by Sanskrit or hinduism or Japan, or China, but then I was all like "ehhhhh..." cause it was 8:00 and I haven't eaten yet.
