G’day guys,

My first Warframe, Rhino, is 12 hours from being completed (OMFG, LMAO, BBQ, PMS!) and I figure he just won’t be complete without a heavy melee weapon.
I think the only weapons I’ve excluded are Hate and Reaper Prime because I just want to be able to buy a blueprint when I get home tonight and get started.

Also please vote off practicality not preferred looks/skins.

 

What is your opinion?

 

Thank you for your input :)

 PMS!

Wat.

[Stefe]

I'm currently using the Scindo for my Rhino, but I'll probably switch over to the Orthos Prime whenever I get my hands on it.

[AprilFools]

Scindo just fits rhino in my mind for some reason, so I voted for that >.< It's a heavy weapon anyways. They're all the same.

[Daxetan]

Definitely the Orthos. It's fast, and it still hits really hard. 

 

Source: I've been using Rhino since like January, and I've used most of the heavy weapons and Orthos is by far my favorite.

[Cat_Has_My_Pipe]

I'm using the Scindo.

But it has a habit of being really unsatisfying due to it not mutilating anything like 75% of the time.

[VScipii26]

Scindo or Fragor give the most satisfaction, but the Orthos is the irrefutable best in terms of power.

[Nyrakav]

Fragor with Brokk hammer skin.

[DaftPansy]

Gram master race reporting in.

[Destro6677]

It really depends on which faction you're fighting and your playstyle.

 

Like to spam e against infested? Get the gram.

 

Prefer to charge attack everything to death, get Scindo.

 

If you want something that just ignores armor, definitely Fragor.

[UnholyPerfection]

Forgot to mention I left Orthos out intentionally too, I have it made and love it but it doesn't 'feel' heavy weapon to me :-P

[SalvoFatts]

If it's the feel of a heavy weapon you're after then the Fragor is the only choice.

[CrazyCanadian24]

Wat.

 

 

Gram master race reporting in.

 

That makes two of us. If you're not using a Gram with your rhino, you're doing it wrong.

[RedDirtTrooper]

I voted Fragor, because I think it looks great with the Brokk hammer skin if you happen to have it. The dirty little secret is, there's not much difference at all between them. Fragor ignores armor with normal attacks, but you shouldn't be using normal attacks. Gram does a little less damage with normal attacks and swings a little faster, but you shouldn't be using normal attacks. Scindo lies to its family about where it goes at night, but you shouldn't be using normal attacks.

 

All of them do a 6m knockdown on jump attacks, all of them do a 200 damage armor ignore charge attack. Pure DPS I believe the Gram hits highest with maxed charge speed and fury mods because of the higher swing speed, but not by much. Fragor is the only one that does armor ignore damage on its slide attack which either is or isn't a big deal for you. 

 

Basically, pick the one you think looks bad &amp;#&#33;. You can't really go wrong.

One bump before I get home from work and start forging :-)

Looking like Scindo is winning with a whopping 63% so far.

[HakuNishino]

I use the Hate :3

[UnholyPerfection]

I use the Hate :3

I will be going for Hate and/or Prime Reaper when I can, but I just want to start as soon as I get home without trying to get a blueprint to drop. You can't just vote which one you would recoment out of what I have listed? :3

[smithf]

for pure style Scindo. For "best" in game-play, read other posts and tons of older threads. Though Scindo is pretty staple, esp when Rhino is one of the few frames that can just wade in and charge attack with little concern for incoming damage.

 

For game-play, I prefer Gram, for greater mobility, but still pack a decent wide-arc charge attack (wider than Orthos by my feeling. I prefer Orthos on faster frames and spam normal attacks instead)

 

btw, does anybody get similar feeling when seeing Rhino wield an Orthos and seeing Rhino using a Lex? No doubt they are great weapons, but it creeps my aesthetic sense in an ironic manner (in that it felt inappropriate and yet I feel entertained at the same time)

Hate. Then Scindo with dagger axe skin.

[Lumdalumlum]

Scindo with manticore @.@!

[UnholyPerfection]

Well looks like Scido is the winner with 56% of the votes and will be forging as soon as I get home. Kinda feel sorry for the Amphis haha. 

 

Thank you everyone for you input :)
