DE, don't forget about Sentinel weapons!

[Cyborg-Rox]

I think it's just amazing that you guys are finally looking through all the weapons in the game and properly balancing them, in accordance to mastery levels as well!

But please, don't forget about Sentinel weapons. Because, you know, Deconstructor, Sweeper, and Vulklok are the only even slightly good non-Prime weapons (but I'll forgive the Artax for being a utility weapon, and for the starter Sentinel).

Just look at these absolute horrid stats!

This... this isn't even 10% of what the Sweeper, Deconstructor, and Vulklok can do!

 

 

It's obvious that the second generation of Sentinel weapons fit much better into the game Warframe is today. Those old 5-damage squirt guns were designed for the old star chart, because there was nothing higher level than that. And hell, they even pre-date Damage 2.0!

Please DE, you're on a great roll here! You're really making changes that have been waiting to happen for years. This is one of the oldest examples of that, and it shouldn't be hard to change since you've already gone through most normal weapons in the game!

Just because they are looking at weapons, doesn't mean it is easy to look at all weapons. Note that Melee and the entire beam weapon category are not included in the balance pass.

OH GOD BUFF THE SENTINEL WEAPONS, my babies.

Especially the Vulklok charge rate, Oh God Lord Almighty RN[DE]sus please buff its charge rate.

They clearly said they were working on melee and beam weapons, but didn't have specifics to share yet.

"(Melee + Beam currently not included)"

"Not noted here are BEAM weapons - they should be ready soon, but we are revisiting them to be more 'like they used to be' in terms of damage instances over time but with a fixed fire rate. Fire Rate mods and their effects are still being determined."

Vulklok is hands down the best Sentinel weapon though. All you need is some Fire-rate mods and it's gonna pick off really high level enemies from far away every couple seconds.

When it first came out, it could shoot like once a second. You know what that was like? It carried you throughout endless missions effortlessly!
