Pistols Concept - Akioneer

[Solawk]

Greetings Tenno!  After about a month of slowly developing my concept I'm happy to present it to you - dual-wielded Corpus&Tenno-themed pistols Akioneer.

Ioneer model. Two models form Akioneer

"Tame a pair of these Corpus sidearms and sharpshoot your foes with compressed energy beams or rain ion projectiles upon them"

Lore:

Спойлер

Ioneer Project was a Corpus plan to rearm all active forces with a more flexible modular weaponry. Initially, it was designed to be able to be used as dual pistols and a machinegun.

Above - initial Corpus-themed Ioneer design.

However, the tests have shown big inefficiency in using Ioneers. Soldiers who have tested the weapon complained greatly about its tendency to overheat and large energy consumption. Elite forces could provide their weapons enough power to work but they simply needed something bigger than just a pair of pistols to resist the Tenno.

Ioneer Project was abandoned and the blueprints were hidden on a remote ship untouched, until one Tenno extermination. The prototypes and schemes of the Ioneers were delivered to the engineering cephalons who have modified and recreated Ioneers to be much more efficient and effective - at least in the hands of the Tenno warriors.

Firepower:

Спойлер

Akioneer is a pair of energy pistols, firing beams and projectiles of hot plasma formed from heating xenon gas. They can fire in two firing modes:

1) Auto-Charge

"With the heat sinks retracted to maintain high energy compression, Ioneers can be fired rapidly in semi-auto style or charged up to release much more powerful and deadly beams"

Differs from a standard Charge. After making a shot the weapon doesn't require the user to pull the trigger again.

Fires hitscan energy beams dealing electric damage. One shot consumes one ammo round.

2) Full Auto

"Heat sinks open up to cool the Ioneers rapidly firing fast ion projectiles in a perfect sync. Each salvo costs 1 ammo round"

Fires energy projectiles from both pistols consuming one ammo round per two projectiles. Deals heat damage.

Спойлер

Reload: player shakes the Ioneers to release the microreactors, then shakes them to install the reactors back

Charge to Auto: player hits the mode switches to deploy the heat sinks

Auto to Charge: player hits the switches again and spins the Ioneers one time, retracting the heat sinks

Heatsinks are hidden under the protection plates. When firing they release a small amount of smoke.

A xenon gas tank can be seen under the protection plate.

(Possible) Q&A:

Спойлер

Is it kinda LawBreakers, huh?

Kinda. It was primarily inspired by the Omega pistol from LawBreakers where it's not that easy to use correctly. In Warframe its flexibility might look much better, I guess. The design itself was formed from the Omega and Aerator concepts with a bit of ideas of mine.

What is that 3D model editor you've used?

It's actually a game, not a 3D model editor. I'm not sure I can even say anything about it - can it be considered as an advertisement?

Why not physical damage?

It's boring, it soon will be rebalanced and it knits with its energy-based nature not that well.

Why different elemental damage?

To provide the player with some freedom. Make it use Gas+Corrosion, Blast+Magnetic or even pure Radiation. It's all upon you.

Isn't it just like Arca Scisco meets Akbolto?

It is and it isn't. It fires beams too but differs in firing mechanic. It fires projectiles too but differs in firing mechanic. It also feels more like a futuristic weapon, imo.

Basically, I'm not an artist or a man of design so the animations above was the best I could do :I

And excuse me for any mistakes I could possibly make in writing, not a native english speaker.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this little presentation! Leave your feedback and ideas in the comments where I can answer them. Thanks for reading and have a good day ^^
