using archwing weapons in non archwing missions

[(PSN)alvian00]

so would it be possible to use archwing weapons in ground combat? i always wanted to equip those big archwing guns like a minigun like that one scene in terminator 2 or use them as a really big melee weapon like in monster hunter world. but they would lower speed due to them never been design for use outside of space. gamplay wise would they be cumbersome to use and in tight spaces like in ships would be useless what about open world and eidolon hunting would they be piratical? what you think about?

From what I understood they are literally too heavy, in the order of tons, so suitable as portable weapons only at zero-g.

Yes I would break out my Grattler or my Fluctus on the Plains.

A bit op when they are all recharge weapons.

That has already been explained, those weapons are too big and too heavy to be used in-gravity combact, we are space ninjas, our advantage against enemies relies on mobility, leave that, and we'll die like ants (and believe me, at high levels there is no defense that stands, avoid damage or kill them before they see you), thus making archguns impossible to use in normal maps.

" The Tusk Grattler is a man-portable version of the Grattler, scaled down to rifle-caliber size instead of the auto-cannon original. "

Yes I'd love a minigun (something better than Supra Vandal, Gorgon and Grakata) too.

I once had a bug on Ophelia when a host migration happened while I was under water. As the migration was done I was able (forced) to use my Fluctus over ground. From my own experience I can tell you they need to heavily rebalance atleast this weapon, if they'll realize something like you suggested.

if it was implemented would we be able to do something like these two?

Maybe we should see if we could utilize the cannons of an AC-130 from ground personnel. see if it works.

I just want something with the thump of the Vectis or Opticor 
in the full auto cycle of a soma.

That's not how physics works. The weapons still have mass in space, meaning moving and aiming them and managing their recoil would still be impossible if the warframes weren't strong enough to carry them in the first place.

And as demonstrated, mini-grattlers can be used on the ground with no loss to mobility, so at the very least I'd want one of these.

How about as a form of "Air support"? Your chosen Archwing unfolds for X seconds of support into something like this:

Archwing should just have a proper Mecha mode, never enough mechas!!!

Air Support: Titania when she will get her butt not targeted by Vruush Turrets (or being able to divert missiles as AW do)... and maybe a Dex Pixia mod for shrapnel ammo.
