HugintheCrow Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Very small update: I realised I used some terms, which may not be understandable to people reading this thread. There is quite a lot going on in my headcanon, and sometimes I forget that people might not know what I mean by calling a character a "newbreed" or "brain-linked" etc. I will add a small glossary of important terms to my lore-trivia post. Soonish anyway. Also, I promise a functional table of contents coming this week. It's been long overdue, and I'm getting lost in my own thread, so, yeah... really gotta make it now. Additionally, loads of new units coming your way soon, with a guest appearance from @Almighty_Jado, creator of the Legion of Tau. Don't worry I didn't forget about Regicide. It is in the works, let's just say I got something special (and time-consuming) in the making for the occasion...

DoubleDamages Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hey there ! First time posting in this pretty interesting thread. I havn't read all of it yet but I'll definetly do it in the near futur, all of this is great and as a Grineer fanboy I can say I'm in love. I'm really digin' your 2D pencil art so far and seeing you'll have some @Almighty_Jado designs in this aswell gave me an idea. I'm a digital artist myself and I wouldn't mind giving you a hand with some designs or whatnot, if that's okay with you of course, I'd hate to feel intrusive on the matter. Anyway, overall great thread and ideas, looking foward to whatever comes next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugintheCrow Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) organisation update: Full Content Index available in the topic's Main Post (mucking finally...), additionally, a handy "back to main menu" button added to every major post. Around a dozen of new units coming your way this weekend. Back to the Main Post Edited November 16, 2018 by HugintheCrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugintheCrow Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Some technical issues aside (I'm kinda ill), I was able to finish up on the minimum of the units I wanted to include with this update. As opposed to most previous units I made here, these ones are meant to be either bread-and-butters appearing nearly every mission or less-common, but still reasonably wide-spread elites. As such, unless I say otherwise, it should be safe to assume all of them have Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva etc. variants. Also, as I said before, this update includes an enemy designed by @Almighty_Jado, the powerful Ghast Eradicator, first unit to be revealed of the mysterious Ghast Division. While reading through, you might notice that some units have a special armor class, called the "NANO-FIBER MESH", well well... Quote This all-new armor type does not decrease any upfront damage the unit takes, but in turn cannot be decreased by Corrosive procs until they are stacked to the max (enemies with Nano-Fiber Mesh can have Corrosive stacked to 20 due to this, as first 10 stacks decrease normal armor and the next 10 affect the Nano-Fiber Mesh). What the Nano-Fiber Mesh does, it decreases any damage over time the unit would suffer, so: fire procs, toxin procs, SLASH PROCS, yes, it does decrease finisher type damage. It is the only way to decrease finisher damage actually. It won't obviously interact with actual finishers, only when that damage is dealt with slash procs. The maths behind it are very simple: Each point of this armor weakens DoTs by 1%, e.g. 50 Nano-Fiber Mesh decreases all DoTs' damage by 50% Anyway let's get into the units: (As it generally goes here, pictures first, stats come later. Will update when everything's done.) IT IS DONE. Riot Guard: Spoiler Description: Riot Guards are lightly armored and equipped shotgunners, generally stationed on smaller, less important military bases. These soldiers are mostly newbies on the battlefield, fresh out of the cloning vats. Their preferred tactics reflect this as they are way more likely to run away from charging Tenno, as well as enjoying taking cover much more than other units. Don't underestimate them however, they can shoot as well as any other Grineer and with their powerful pump-action Itakas, they are sure to be able to make a dent in anybody. Their grenades serve a dual purpose, creating a damaging electrical cloud and decreasing enemy vision. Mechanics and Abilities: Grenade: Stun-Smoke Grenade: This unit can throw Stun-Smoke grenades, which detonate after short delay, stunning all units in the radius and creating a temporary smoke screen. Design Notes: Riot Guards are meant to be a lower level version of the Trooper. Just like Lancer and Elite Lancer exist. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Itaka/Sheev Abilities: Stun-Smoke Grenade Base Damage: PAWN Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Health: Cloned Flesh: 100 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 50 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 75 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 10 Mod Drops: Grineer Trooper droptable Other Drops: N/A Commander: Spoiler Description: Commanders are fresh female clones, ready to gain their respect and skills on the battlefield. Before they become Heavy Gunners or Ballistas, their still healthy organic bodies will have to serve them. As they were born women, they are instantly higher status citizens than men, earning them the right to lead squads of marines into combat. Their standard equipped Flarkan Flare Pistol allows them to pinpoint targets for nearby Grineer to fire upon. Equipped with a remote signal device, they can also raise alarms without using the consoles. This unit is an Officer. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Raise Alarm: This unit can raise alarm level without a console. Companion: Teleport Reinforcements: This unit can summon random Grineer units, whenever it wishes. Design Notes: Yes, I know there is a unit called Commander. This is actually meant to completely replace that unit as I don't think it really fits in the game (Don't worry I'll use their kickass helmets somewhere else). Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Flarkan/Skulbak Abilities: Raise Alarm, Teleport Reinforcements Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Health: Cloned Flesh: 500 Armor: Alloy Armor: 95 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 623,41 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Commander droptable Other Drops: N/A Riot Lancer: Spoiler Description: Riot Lancers are advanced troops equipped with state of the art Towa defensive system and powerful Hind-based Stakan LMGs. They act mostly like the Shield Lancer, but can easily fold their shields to move faster and with more agility. When the shield is fully deployed, nearly the whole unit is protected from that direction, the shield being immune to all damage and punch-through. A special gun-nest allows the soldier to fire their gun accurately with one hand and the shield fully deployed. Riot Lancers will often use this to walk in tight formations, becoming impenetrable shields for their allies, while still being able to fire their guns comfortably and throwing Fragmentation grenades at enemies attempting to hide behind cover. Mechanics and Abilities: Grenade: Frag Grenade: This unit can throw Frag grenades, which detonate after short delay, dealing Physical damage to all units in the radius. Design Notes: They can put their guns inside the indent on the shield to become walking Ramparts basically. Yes, the shield is COMPLETELY immune to damage. Neither aoe nor punch-through goes through. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Stakan and foldable personal Towa Shield/Skulbak Abilities: Frag Grenade Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: BISHOP Health: Cloned Flesh: 200 Armor: Alloy Armor: 200 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 350 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Shield Lancer droptable Other Drops: N/A Grenadier: Spoiler Description: Grenadiers are essentially a lighter variant of the heavy Bombard unit. They are equipped with a variety of grenades (Elemental Grenades are used by element-based Eximii) and powerful fully-automatic Gratatak Grenade Launchers. These soldiers prefer to stay back and shower entire rooms chock-full of explosions. Mechanics and Abilities: Grenade: Frag Grenade: This unit can throw Frag grenades, which detonate after short delay, dealing Physical damage to all units in the radius. Grenade: Stun-Smoke Grenade: This unit can throw Stun-Smoke grenades, which detonate after short delay, stunning all units in the radius and creating a temporary smoke screen. Grenade: Elemental Grenade: This unit can throw Elemental grenades, which detonate after short delay, dealing appropriate elemental damage to all units in the radius and applying it's status effect. Design Notes: You thought the Tonkor-wielding enemies were scary, meet the Grenadiers. While they can actually deal more damage than Bombards, they are only as tanky as a basic Elite Lancer. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Gratatak/Sheev Abilities: Frag Grenade, Stun-Smoke Grenade, Elemental Grenade Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: BISHOP Health: Cloned Flesh: 200 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 200 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 400 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Bombard droptable Other Drops: N/A Berserker: Spoiler Description: Berserkers are Elite Butchers, equipped with Dual Cleavers and strapped into a drug mixing machine, they are at all times in a state of chemical rage. This Rage, when triggered by losing a lot of hp quickly, will make them immune to damage over time, any type of crowd control and grants them large speed buff. If a Raging Berserker dies without scoring a takedown on some enemy, they will attempt to revive themselves once (Eximus variants can do it twice). If encountered in the Kuva Fortress or the Inner Sanctum at high alert levels, they will spawn Enraged. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Enrage: When losing a lot of health, this unit can become enraged, making them immune to damage over time, any type of crowd control and granting a large speed buff. Innate: Berserk Self-Revive: This unit can revive itself if it has not killed any unit before dying. Design Notes: Powerful Butchers with a revive gimmick, at high levels it could be worthwhile to send some throw-away specter for them to kill. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Dual Cleavers Abilities: Enrage, Self-Revive Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Cloned Flesh: 200 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 150 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 200 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Butcher droptable Other Drops: N/A Assault Trooper: Spoiler Description: Assault Troopers are special troops tasked with attacks on the Corpus. Their modified Karaks have an underbarrel Grenade Launcher installed for Area damage capabilities. These soldiers will often fire EMP grenades against proxies and other shielded targets. They are way more likely to spawn during Invasion mission, especially when helping Corpus. Mechanics and Abilities: Movement: Jetpack Dash: Using their Hrokgar Gear, this unit can quickly reposition themselves, gaining damage reduction on certain frames of the animation. Grenade: EMP Grenade: This unit can fire EMP grenades, which detonate after short delay, disabling electronic units and proccing Magnetic status effect on all units in the radius. Design Notes: As the Grineer can sometimes have trouble dealing with heavier proxies of the Corpus, it is only natural they would employ stronger weaponry when it is necessary to destroy the enemy quickly (like during an invasion event). Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Karak-GL/Skulbak Abilities: Jetpack Dash, EMP Grenade Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Health: Cloned Flesh: 200 Armor: Alloy Armor: 250 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 250 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 10 Mod Drops: Grineer Elite Lancer droptable Other Drops: N/A Supply Officer: Spoiler Description: These unassuming soldiers are actually incredibly dangerous in most situations. They are not only veterans, able to move around the battlefield with great skill, avoiding the enemy, but their equipment also grants them an edge against anyone. The silenced Viper pistols they carry are incredibly accurate, fast-firing and pretty much undetectable. But an even greater danger of this unit comes from the fact they ALWAYS spawn as a Special Eximus type: The Elemental Ammo Carrier. Each of these soldiers grants a powerful aura of elemental damage to all nearby Grineer (this effect persists forever even after the unit moves out of the range). They can grant any of the basic elements with their auras. If that was not enough, they carry and can activate a single Boost Drone, which not only makes the aura range go through the roof, but also amplifies fire rate of all units affected by it. This unit is an Officer. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Elemental Ammo Upgrade: This unit grants a powerful aura of elemental damage to all nearby allies. Companion: Deploy Boost Drone: This unit can summon a Boost Drone, which increases the range of Elemental Ammo Upgrade and amplifies fire rate of all units affected by it. Design Notes: A small guy of terribleness. Eliminate on sight or get destroyed. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Silenced Viper/Sheev Abilities: Elemental Ammo Upgrade, Deploy Boost Drone Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Cloned Flesh: 150 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 50 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 150 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Seeker droptable Other Drops: N/A Grilloon: Spoiler Description: These poor souls are actually just very heavily wounded Lancers, strapped to several balloons and stabbed into augment slots with primitive machine guns found on the Rampart turret. While they can fire pretty accurately, they are extremely easy to destroy. Mechanics and Abilities: N/A Design Notes: Every Grineer is a Soldier, even the one who can't move at all. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Twin machine guns Abilities: N/A Base Damage: PAWN Damage Scaling: PAWN Health: Cloned Flesh: 50 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 100 Body Multipliers: Head: 3.0x, Body: 2.0x Base Affinity: 50 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 10 Mod Drops: Grineer Lancer droptable Other Drops: N/A Gunball: Spoiler Description: The Gunball is a small drone, able to be picked up by a soldier and carried on their back, just like a Blunt. When deployed, the drone will attack any enemy in sight. They can move, but have trouble defeating large height differences. While incredibly weak to enemy fire, their gatlings can deal solid damage to unwary targets. Mechanics and Abilities: N/A Design Notes: An alternative deployable to the mobile cover Blunt. I'm probably gonna come up with more of those. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Gatling Cannon Abilities: N/A Base Damage: PAWN Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Health: Machinery: 50 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 50 Body Multipliers: N/A Base Affinity: N/A Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: N/A Other Drops: N/A Kusza: Spoiler Description: Kuszas are light, extremely mobile markswomen, able to to move easily across the battlefield owing to their tactical jetpacks. They come equipped with the terrifying fully-automatic Dragulok DMRs, and while they have the same delay before the first shot like Ballistas, they can continue firing as much as they want after they've locked on onto an enemy. As true snipers, they will jump away when approached and generally keep their distance as much as possible. With their jetpacks, it is much easier for them. On open air maps, they can also signal for bombardments (Tusk variant will call in Cuhulin support very frequently). Able to inflict Supression effect on their targets. Mechanics and Abilities: Movement: Jetpack: Using their Jetpack Gear, this unit can quickly reposition themselves, gaining damage reduction on certain frames of the animation. Design Notes: Read like Kooshah (which means Crossbow btw, I'm continuing the traditon of naming Grineer snipers by names of old ranged weapons). Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Dragulok/Sheev Abilities: Jetpack Base Damage: ROOK Damage Scaling: BISHOP Health: Cloned Flesh: 150 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 150 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 175 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Ballista droptable Other Drops: N/A Catapulta: Spoiler Description: A heavy variant of the Ballista, the Catapultas are handpicked few elites that trained and went through a great deal of fights. Their bodies nearly fully mechanical and their minds nearly perfectly focused, they can move around and fire nearly as freely as the Tenno. Their high-powered super-accurate Enfilds are actually reverse-engineered Tiberon Primes with additional neuro-link sights. Catapultas have nearly no delay when firing from a stand-still, and fire faster than Ballistas anyway when moving. They have a nasty habit of wall-clinging in high, hidden places and ambushing Tenno that walk below. Assume that getting headshotted by one of those is insta-death. This unit may be Field-Promoted. Mechanics and Abilities: Movement: Parkour: This unit can use all the parkour available to the players. Innate: Uncanny Aim: This unit's aim is less affected by enemy dodging actions. Innate: Heavy: This unit resists effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Design Notes: Incredibly rare, but also incredibly dangerous, these ladies fight like you do, going for headshots and flying around with bullet jumps. Accepts no Noscopes, 360 Quickscopes only. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Enfild/Machete Abilities: Parkour Manouvers Base Damage: ROOK Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Alloy Armor: 600 Armor: Alloy Armor: 450 Nano-Fiber Mesh: 50 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 400 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Ballista droptable Other Drops: N/A Suppressor: Spoiler Description: Heavily armored, the Supressors serve a fire support role in the Grineer army. Equipped with heavy Hind-based Stakan LMGs, they can lay down suppressing (hence the name) fire at long ranges. In close quarters they can blind enemies with powerful Flash Reflectors. An arm mounted grenade launcher allows them to fire the grenades without pausing any other activity (like shooting you in the face), Kuva variant has a missile launcher installed instead. They CANNOT be knocked down, thanks to the suspension system installed on their leg augments. Able to inflict Suppression effect on their targets. Any Suppression caused by this unit lasts for a longer amount of time. This unit may be Field-Promoted. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Innate: Shock Augments: This unit resists Crowd Control and is immune to knockdowns/ragdolls. Grenade: Frag Grenade: This unit can throw Frag grenades, which detonate after short delay, dealing Physical damage to all units in the radius. Ability: Flash Reflector: This unit can unleash a persistent flash of light that blinds all enemies looking at it. Design Notes: A heavy SWAT-like Tactical Trooper. They can pack, and take, a punch. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Stakan/Machete Abilities: Frag Grenade, Flash Reflector Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Cloned Flesh: 500 Armor: Alloy Armor: 750 Nano-Fiber Mesh: 75 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 450 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Elite Lancer droptable Other Drops: N/A Tusk Brute: Spoiler Description: The Brute family is increased once again (The original Korsar Brute was one of my first original units EVER). The Tusk variant is slightly heavier and packs modified weaponry, allowing them to drop even more powerful shockwaves in rapid succession. They can also jump incredible distances at once, owing to their powerful leg suspension (they actually propel themselves with the shockwaves generated with their arms). Mechanics and Abilities: Movement: Leap: Using their Seismic Bashfists, this unit can quickly reposition themselves, gaining damage reduction on certain frames of the animation. Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Innate: Shock Augments: This unit resists Crowd Control and is immune to knockdowns/ragdolls. Melee: Seismic Shockwave: This unit can smash the ground to knockdown all nearby opponents. Design Notes: Equip that Primed Sure Footed, bois. This is the bounce house. Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Plains of Eidolon Weapons: Seismic Bashfist Abilities: Seismic Shockwave, Leap Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Health: Cloned Flesh: 500 Armor: Alloy Armor: 750 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 500 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Powerfist droptable Other Drops: N/A Bastion: Spoiler Description: The Bastion is a powerful, heavily armored variant of the Riot Lancer. Their arm-mounted foldable Towa Shields are completely immune to all damage and punch-through. When deployed, they are FULLY protected from their front, while still being able to fire their powerful three-barreled rotary autocannons. Any non-direct damage to units behind deployed Towas is nullified. The Revakar needs a short period of wind up before firing and cannot be pre-spun, granting that small period of time when they can't attack. The Bastions CANNOT be knocked down, nor ragdolled in anyway. Their weakness lies in their sluggish movement while the shield is fully deployed, as well as their shield-controlling backpacks, which can be destroyed to completely remove their Towas. Able to inflict Suppression effect on their targets. This unit may be Field-Promoted. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Innate: Shock Augments: This unit resists Crowd Control and is immune to knockdowns/ragdolls. Ability: Deploy Bastion: This unit can deploy a frontal cone shield, blocking all damage, disabling punch-through and causing aoe abilities and damage top be nullified behind the unit. Design Notes: Shoot their backs to get rid of the shields permamently. Can't do much more than that, I'm afraid. Yes, this unit IS an Overwatch reference. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Revakar and foldable Towa Shield System/Machete Abilities: N/A Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Cloned Flesh: 350 Armor: Composite Armor: 600 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 500 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Heavy Gunner droptable Other Drops: N/A Stormfury: Spoiler Description: The Stormfuries are elite Heavy Gunners, who, after losing their bodies in battle, were transferred into this flying form of vengeance. Not much remains of the original Grineer, but it sure is angry. Armed with a powerful HMG and missile pods, the Stormfury can obliterate targets from high above. Due to their small problem of manouvering inside cramped spaces, they are only deployed in locations where their flight can give them the edge. Able to inflict Suppression effect on their targets. This unit is an Officer. Mechanics and Abilities: Movement: Flight: This unit can fly. Design Notes: Flying heavy gunners. Yup. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Grineer Forest, Grineer Settlement, Grineer Shipyard, Plains of Eidolon, Grineer Asteroid Fortress Weapons: Heavy Machine Gun, Missile Pod Abilities: N/A Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Alloy Armor: 600 Armor: Composite Armor: 500 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Armor: 0.5x Base Affinity: 500 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Heavy Gunner droptable Other Drops: N/A Sacrifice Armor: Spoiler Description: These elite female soldiers are pretty much dead. Only the ancient technology of the Sacrifice Armors can prevent them from dying. While they still don't have much time until even that is not enough, they sure want to add to their already considerable kill count. Only the best, most honoured soldiers get to be put into this unique, rare Armor. Incredibly heavy and difficult to move in, it does make the wearer nearly invincible. Able to inflict Shredded effect on their targets. This unit is an Officer. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Innate: Shock Augments: This unit resists Crowd Control and is immune to knockdowns/ragdolls. Melee: Seismic Shockwave: This unit can smash the ground to knockdown all nearby opponents. Procs Magnetic status effect. Design Notes: Visually inspired by those super heavy armors used by SWAT forces. See Tachanka from R6 Siege for a good example. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Vulkin, Missile Pod Abilities: Seismic Shockwave (Magnetic) Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Cloned Flesh: 100 Machinery:150 Alloy Armor: 200 Armor: Ferrite Armor: 200 Composite Armor: 400 Nano-Fiber Mesh: 90 Body Multipliers: Head: 1.2x, Limbs: 0.75x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 500 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Heavy Gunner droptable Other Drops: N/A Rumbler: Spoiler Description: Rumblers are heavy close-range fighters, capable of giant amounts of aoe destruction. They are essentially Bombards with different weaponry, their Tremloks fire powerful, yet short ranged shockwaves through the air, knocking down and smashing everything in their way, trauma inflicted by this weapon can burst open a living being from inside out instantly. They can also fire directly into the ground below them to unleash a small localised earthquake. Destroying their backpacks disables their weapon completely, forcing them to fall back on their trusty Dwerg pistols. This unit may be Field-Promoted. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Melee: Seismic Shockwave: This unit can smash the ground to knockdown all nearby opponents. Design Notes: Quake cannon-wielding bombards. Putting the BOOM in Boomstick. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Tremlok/Dwerg/Skulbak Abilities: Seismic Shockwave Base Damage: ROOK Damage Scaling: QUEEN Health: Cloned Flesh: 200 Armor: Alloy Armor: 500 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 400 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Bombard droptable Other Drops: N/A Sulimov: Spoiler Description: A hijacked Jackal proxy, gutted and remade by the Grineer. A brain-linked Grineer soldier has been plugged in where the head should be. Armed with a multitude of weapons, the Sulimov can deal extremely high damage in very short time. It's shield systems are still online, granting it that much more defensive power. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Melee: Seismic Shockwave: This unit can smash the ground to knockdown all nearby opponents. Melee: Rippling Shockwave: This unit can smash the ground to create a slow-moving wave that knocks down all opponents. Grenade: Smoke Grenade: This unit can fire Smoke grenades, which detonate after short delay, creating a temporary smoke screen. Ability: Flash Reflector: This unit can unleash a persistent flash of light that blinds all enemies looking at it. Design Notes: Sulimov's dogs are a special crossbreed between dogs and jackals. Corpus calls Grineer "dogs". I'm so clever. As you may imagine this is not a normal unit, it will only spawn in super high level missions probably only after some time has passed (a reward for vets, I guess). The Sulimov is quite large obviously, so only certain tiles could support it. Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Twin-linked Autocannon, Missile Pod, Gatling Cannons Abilities: Smoke Grenades, Flash Reflector, Seismic Shockwave, Rippling Shockwave Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Robotics: 800 Armor: Alloy Armor: 450 Shields: Proto Shields: 500 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.5x Base Affinity: 700 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Bombard droptable Other Drops: N/A Javelin: Spoiler Description: Javelins are highly advanced prototype soldiers, fielded only in rare emergency situations. These units are equipped with a arm augment replacing their right arm with an incredibly lethal experimental Railgun. They take extra long to fire, but remain fully mobile when charging, and each shot is pretty much death to everything in the way. Every time they fire, a line of strong energy forms behind the projectile (it's hit scan but whatever), with high chance of proccing both Radiation and Corrosive. Their advanced armor grants them the ability to fly and teleport at will. This unit may be Field-Promoted. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Movement: Flight: This unit can fly. Movement: Teleport: Using their Teleport Gear, this unit can quickly reposition themselves, gaining damage reduction on certain frames of the animation. Melee: Seismic Shockwave: This unit can smash the ground to knockdown all nearby opponents. Design Notes: I like making Ballista variants. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Arm-mounted Railgun Abilities: Seismic Shockwave, Teleport Base Damage: ROOK Damage Scaling: QUEEN Health: Cloned Flesh: 100 Alloy Armor: 300 Armor: Composite Armor: 300 Nano-Fiber Mesh: 90 Shields: Proto Shields: 1000 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 500 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Ballista droptable Other Drops: N/A Usurper: Spoiler Description: Usurpers carry modified Eidolon Lures on their backs, as an additional threat from their high-powered rotary autocannons (which they share with the Bastions). When endangered, the Usurper can awaken the ghost of the captured Sentient to become invulnerable, while granting sentient-like damage adaptability to all nearby Grineer. The Ghost works much like a Vomvalyst, being able to be damaged only with void-based attacks. When destroyed it will also heavily damage the Usurper, removing any and all buffs it granted. Tusk variants only spawn at Night, while Kuva variant takes less damage from ghost's death. This unit may be Field-Promoted. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Ability: Awaken Sentient Ghost: This unit can gain a complete invulnerability and grant their allies a large amount of damage reduction by reviving a spirit of a Sentient. Killing the Sentient ends the effect and damages the user. Design Notes: The Grineer are learning how to harness the Sentients' powers. Be scared. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Weapons: Revakar/Skulbak Abilities: Awaken Sentient Ghost Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Health: Cloned Flesh: 300 Armor: Alloy Armor: 500 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x, Limbs: 0.75x Base Affinity: 400 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 3 Mod Drops: Grineer Heavy Gunner droptable Other Drops: N/A Katafrakt: Spoiler Description: Katafrakts are part of the new TwinTrooper program. They are purposefully born as Siamese twins, one of them growing out of the other's back. The "backpack" twin is bred to be highly intelligent, while the "carrier" is made to be greatly physically capable. The resulting soldier combines the best of the two worlds. Add in very heavy, double-layered armor, Nano-Fiber Mesh undercoat, high quality augments and powerful weaponry, and you have the Katafrakt. The "backpack" twin not only controls the secondary arm-mounted weaponry, but also grants the soldier a sort of prescience, where they can dodge attacks near instantly. The heavy assault jetpack is not used to fly, but instead allows the Katafrakt to make reckless charges towards the enemy to skewer them with their chainsaw (which often is insta-lethal). This unit is an Officer. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Super Heavy: This unit is nearly immune to effects that cause involuntary movement (e.g. knockdowns, ragdolls, pushes, pulls, throws, Lifted status, etc.). Innate: Uncanny Aim: This unit's aim is less affected by enemy dodging actions. Ability: Jet Charge: This unit can charge forward, and if they hit any enemies, they will impale them and deal large amounts of True damage. Movement: Parkour: This unit can use all the parkour available to the players. Design Notes: Thought the Grineer need some more body horror. Interestingly (according to wikipedia), "Most live births are female, with a ratio of 3:1." Conjoined twinning is a terrible condition and I don't mean to offend anyone that had to deal with it. My condolences go to anyone afflicted by it.

They are purposefully born as Siamese twins, one of them growing out of the other's back. The "backpack" twin is bred to be highly intelligent, while the "carrier" is made to be greatly physically capable. The resulting soldier combines the best of the two worlds. The "backpack" twin not only controls the secondary arm-mounted weaponry, but also grants the soldier a sort of prescience, where they can dodge attacks near instantly. The Efreeti (named for the similarity between pronouncing "3T" and that mythical creature's name) is highly mobile and intelligent, able to rival the Tenno in agility. Equipped with the advanced Taktikar rifle, they can easily fight either as assault troopers or snipers. This unit is meant as an even stronger replacement for the Elite Lancer, after a certain level has been achieved. This unitis an Officer. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Uncanny Aim: This unit's aim is less affected by enemy dodging actions. Movement: Jetpack: Using their Jetpack Gear, this unit can quickly reposition themselves, gaining damage reduction on certain frames of the animation.

The Eradikator beam gun can fire a homing medium-ranged energy stream at the target after charging for a short period of time, dealing steady Void damage. If the target is a Warframe, their Operator will rapidly lose energy as well. If their whole energy is depleted while inside the Warframe, they will be forced out. The beam is capable of instantly changing the target to the Operator in case they use Transference. The Kuva variant has an extremely high chance of appearing during Kuva Flood missions. This unit may be Field-Promoted. Mechanics and Abilities: Innate: Tenno Alignment Modifier: Sun: Deals slightly more damage per second; Neutral: Deals very slightly more damage per second, drains very slightly more energy per second; Moon: Drains slightly more energy per second; Ability: Awaken Sentient Bone: This unit can gain a large amount of damage reduction by reviving a spirit of a Sentient. Killing the Sentient ends the effect and damages the user. Design Notes: First of the Ghasts, a special team of Anti-Tenno elites.

Also, as I said before, this update includes an enemy designed by @Almighty_Jado, the powerful Ghast Eradicator, first unit to be revealed of the mysterious Ghast Division. While reading through, you might notice that some units have a special armor class, called the "NANO-FIBER MESH", well well... This all-new armor type does not decrease any upfront damage the unit takes, but in turn cannot be decreased by Corrosive procs until all other armor is fully removed. What the Nano-Fiber Mesh does, it decreases any damage over time the unit would suffer, so: fire procs, toxin procs, SLASH PROCS, yes, it does decrease finisher type damage. It is the only way to decrease finisher damage actually. It won't obviously interact with actual finishers, only when that damage is dealt with slash procs. The maths behind it are very simple: Each point of this armor weakens DoTs by 1%, e.g. 50 Nano-Fiber Mesh decreases all DoTs' damage by 50% Anyway let's get into the units: (As it generally goes here, pictures first, stats come later. Will update when everything's done.) IT IS DONE. Riot Guard: Reveal hidden contents Description: Riot Guards are lightly armored and equipped shotgunners, generally stationed on smaller, less important military bases. These soldiers are mostly newbies on the battlefield, fresh out of the cloning vats. Their preferred tactics reflect this as they are way more likely to run away from charging Tenno, as well as enjoying taking cover much more than other units. Don't underestimate them however, they can shoot as well as any other Grineer and with their powerful pump-action Itakas, they are sure to be able to make a dent in anybody. Their grenades serve a dual purpose, creating a damaging electrical cloud and decreasing enemy vision. Design Notes: Riot Guards are meant to be a lower level version of the Trooper. Just like Lancer and Elite Lancer exist. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Close Ranged Weapons: Itaka/Sheev Abilities: Stun-Smoke Grenade Base Damage: PAWN Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Cloned Flesh: 100 Ferrite Armor: 50 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 75 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 10 Mod Drops: Grineer Trooper droptable Other Drops: N/A Commander: Reveal hidden contents Description: Commanders are fresh female clones, ready to gain their respect and skills on the battlefield. Before they become Heavy Gunners or Ballistas, their still healthy organic bodies will have to serve them. As they were born women, they are instantly higher status citizens than men, earning them the right to lead squads of marines into combat. Their standard equipped Flarkan Flare Pistol allows them to pinpoint targets for nearby Grineer to fire upon. Equipped with a remote signal device, they can also raise alarms without using the consoles. Design Notes: Yes, I know there is a unit called Commander. This is actually meant to completely replace that unit as I don't think it really fits in the game (Don't worry I'll use their kickass helmets somewhere else). Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Ranged Weapons: Flarkan/Skulbak Abilities: Raise Alarm, Teleport Reinforcements Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Cloned Flesh: 500 Alloy Armor: 95 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 623,41 Base Level: 3 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Commander droptable Other Drops: N/A Riot Lancer: Reveal hidden contents Description: Riot Lancers are advanced troops equipped with state of the art Towa defensive system and powerful Hind-based Stakan LMGs. They act mostly like the Shield Lancer, but can easily fold their shields to move faster and with more agility. When the shield is fully deployed, nearly the whole unit is protected from that direction, the shield being immune to all damage and punch-through. A special gun-nest allows the soldier to fire their gun accurately with one hand and the shield fully deployed. Riot Lancers will often use this to walk in tight formations, becoming impenetrable shields for their allies, while still being able to fire their guns comfortably and throwing Fragmentation grenades at enemies attempting to hide behind cover. Design Notes: They can put their guns inside the indent on the shield to become walking Ramparts basically. Yes, the shield is COMPLETELY immune to damage. Neither aoe nor punch-through goes through. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Ranged/knockdown Weapons: Stakan and foldable personal Towa Shield/Skulbak Abilities: Frag Grenade Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: BISHOP Cloned Flesh: 200 Alloy Armor: 200 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 350 Base Level: 15 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Shield Lancer droptable Other Drops: N/A Grenadier: Reveal hidden contents Description: Grenadiers are essentially a lighter variant of the heavy Bombard unit. They are equipped with a variety of grenades (Elemental Grenades are used by element-based Eximii) and powerful fully-automatic Gratatak Grenade Launchers. These soldiers prefer to stay back and shower entire rooms chock-full of explosions. Design Notes: You thought the Tonkor-wielding enemies were scary, meet the Grenadiers. While they can actually deal more damage than Bombards, they are only as tanky as a basic Elite Lancer. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Ranged Weapons: Gratatak/Sheev Abilities: Frag Grenade, Stun-Smoke Grenade, Elemental Grenade Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: BISHOP Cloned Flesh: 200 Ferrite Armor: 200 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 400 Base Level: 15 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Bombard droptable Other Drops: N/A Berserker: Reveal hidden contents Description: Berserkers are Elite Butchers, equipped with Dual Cleavers and strapped into a drug mixing machine, they are at all times in a state of chemical rage. This Rage, when triggered by losing a lot of hp quickly, will make them immune to damage over time, any type of crowd control and grants them large speed buff. If a Raging Berserker dies without scoring a takedown on some enemy, they will attempt to revive themselves once (Eximus variants can do it twice). If encountered in the Kuva Fortress or the Inner Sanctum at high alert levels, they will spawn Enraged. Design Notes: Powerful Butchers with a revive gimmick, at high levels it could be worthwhile to send some throw-away specter for them to kill. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Melee Weapons: Dual Cleavers Abilities: Enrage, Self-Revive Base Damage: BISHOP Damage Scaling: ROOK Cloned Flesh: 200 Ferrite Armor: 150 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 200 Base Level: 5 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Butcher droptable Other Drops: N/A Assault Trooper: Reveal hidden contents Description: Assault Troopers are special troops tasked with attacks on the Corpus. Their modified Karaks have an underbarrel Grenade Launcher installed for Area damage capabilities. These soldiers will often fire EMP grenades against proxies and other shielded targets. They are way more likely to spawn during Invasion mission, especially when helping Corpus. Design Notes: As the Grineer can sometimes have trouble dealing with heavier proxies of the Corpus, it is only natural they would employ stronger weaponry when it is necessary to destroy the enemy quickly (like during an invasion event). Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Ranged Weapons: Karak-GL/Skulbak Abilities: Jetpack Dash Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Cloned Flesh: 200 Alloy Armor: 250 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 250 Base Level: 15 Codex Scans: 10 Mod Drops: Grineer Elite Lancer droptable Other Drops: N/A Supply Officer: Hide contents Description: These unassuming soldiers are actually incredibly dangerous in most situations. They are not only veterans, able to move around the battlefield with great skill, avoiding the enemy, but their equipment also grants them an edge against anyone. The silenced Viper pistols they carry are incredibly accurate, fast-firing and pretty much undetectable. But an even greater danger of this unit comes from the fact they ALWAYS spawn as a Special Eximus type: The Elemental Ammo Carrier. Each of these soldiers grants a powerful aura of elemental damage to all nearby Grineer (this effect persists forever even after the unit moves out of the range). They can grant any of the basic elements with their auras. If that was not enough, they carry and can activate a single Boost Drone, which not only makes the aura range go through the roof, but also amplifies fire rate of all units affected by it. Design Notes: A small guy of terribleness. Eliminate on sight or get destroyed. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Ranged Support Weapons: Silenced Viper/Sheev Abilities: Elemental Ammo Upgrade, Deploy Boost Drone Base Damage: KNIGHT Damage Scaling: ROOK Cloned Flesh: 150 Ferrite Armor: 50 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 150 Base Level: 5 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Seeker droptable Other Drops: N/A Grilloon: Reveal hidden contents Description: These poor souls are actually just very heavily wounded Lancers, strapped to several balloons and stabbed into augment slots with primitive machine guns found on the Rampart turret. While they can fire pretty accurately, they are extremely easy to destroy. Design Notes: Every Grineer is a Soldier, even the one who can't move at all. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Ranged Weapons: Twin machine guns Abilities: N/A Base Damage: PAWN Damage Scaling: PAWN Cloned Flesh: 50 Ferrite Armor: 100 Body Multipliers: Head: 3.0x, Body: 2.0x Base Affinity: 50 Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 10 Mod Drops: Grineer Lancer droptable Other Drops: N/A Gunball: Reveal hidden contents Description: The Gunball is a small drone, able to be picked up by a soldier and carried on their back, just like a Blunt. When deployed, the drone will attack any enemy in sight. They can move, but have trouble defeating large height differences. While incredibly weak to enemy fire, their gatlings can deal solid damage to unwary targets. Design Notes: An alternative deployable to the mobile cover Blunt. I'm probalby gonna come up with more of those. Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Deployable Support Weapons: Gatling Cannon Abilities: N/A Base Damage: PAWN Damage Scaling: KNIGHT Machinery: 50 Ferrite Armor: 50 Body Multipliers: N/A Base Affinity: N/A Base Level: 1 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: N/A Other Drops: N/A Kusza: Reveal hidden contents Description: Kuszas are light, extremely mobile markswomen, able to to move easily across the battlefield owing to their tactical jetpacks. THey come equipped with the terrifying fully-automatic Dragulok DMRs, and while they have the same delay before the first shot like Ballistas, they can continue firing as much as they want after they've locked on onto an enemy. As true snipers, they will jump away when approached and generally keep their distance as much as possible. With their jetpacks, it is much easier for them. On open air maps, they can also signal for bombardments (Tusk variant will call in Cuhulin support very frequently). Design Notes: Read like Kooshah (which means Crossbow btw, I'm continuing the traditon of naming Grineer snipers by names of old ranged weapons). Comes in Frontier, Arid, Drekar, Kuva, Tusk and Yeti variants Stats: Faction: Grineer Tileset: Any Grineer Tileset Type: Sniper Weapons: Dragulok/Sheev Abilities: Jetpack Base Damage: ROOK Damage Scaling: BISHOP Cloned Flesh: 150 Ferrite Armor: 150 Body Multipliers: Head: 2.0x Base Affinity: 175 Base Level: 5 Codex Scans: 5 Mod Drops: Grineer Ballista droptable Other Drops: N/A Catapulta: Reveal hidden contents Description: A heavy variant of the Ballista, the Catapultas are handpicked few elites that trained and went through a great deal of fights. Their bodies nealry fully mechanical and their minds nearly perfectly focused, they can move around and fire nearly as freely as the Tenno. Their high-powered super-accurate Enfilds are actually reverse-engineered Tiberon Primes with additional neuro-link sights. Catapultas have nearly no delay when firing from a stand-still, and fire faster than Ballistas anyway when moving. They have a nasty habit of wall-clinging in high, hidden places and ambushing Tenno that walk below. Assume that getting headshotted by one of those is insta-death. Design Notes: Incredibly rare, but also incredibly dangerous, these ladies fight like you do, going for headshots and flying around with bullet jumps. Accept no Noscopes, 360 Quickscopes only.

Equipped with heavy Hind-based Stakan LMGs, they can lay down suppressing (hence the name) fire at long ranges. In close quarters they can blind enemies with powerful Flash Reflectors. An arm mounted grenade launcher allows them to fire the grenades without pausing any other activity (like shooting you in the face), Kuva variant has a missile launcher installed instead. They CANNOT be knocked down, thanks to the suspension system installed on their leg augments. Design Notes: A heavy SWAT-like Tactical Trooper. They can pack, and take, a punch.

The Tusk variant is slightly heavier and packs modified weaponry, allowing them to drop even more powerful shockwaves in rapid succession. They can also jump incredible distances at once, owing to their powerful leg suspension (they actually propel themsleves with the shockwaves generated with their arms). Design Notes: Equip that Primed Sure Footed, bois. This is the bounce house.

Their arm-mounted foldable Towa Shields are completely immune to all damage and punch-through. When deployed, they are FULLY protected from their front, while still being able to fire their powerful three-barreled rotary autocannons. The Revakar needs a short period of wind up before firing and cannot be pre-spun, granting that small period of time when they can't attack. The Bastions CANNOT be knocked down, nor ragdolled in anyway. Their weakness lies in their sluggish movement while the shield is fully deployed, as well as their shield-controlling backpacks, which can be destroyed to completely remove their Towas. Design Notes: Shoot their backs to get rid of the shields permamently. Can't do much more than that, I'm afraid. Yes, this unit IS an Overwatch reference.

Not much remains of the original Grineer, but it sure is angry. Armed with a powerful HMG and missile pods, the stromfury can obliterate targets from high above. Due to their small problem of manouvering inside cramped spaces, they are only deployed in locations where their flight can give them the edge. Design Notes: Flying heavy gunners. Yup.

Only the ancient technology of the Sacrifice Armors can prevent them from dying. While they still don't have much time until even that is not enough, they sure want to add to their already considerable kill count. Only the best, most honoured soldiers get to be put into this unique, rare Armor. Incredibly heavy and difficult to move in, it does make the wearer nearly invincible.

They are essentially Bombards with different weaponry, their Tremloks fire powerful, yet short ranged shockwaves through the air, knocking down and smashing everything in their way, trauma inflicted by this weapon can burst open a living being from inside out instantly. They can also fire directly into the ground below them to unleash a small localised earthquake. Destroying their backpacks disables their weapon completely, forcing them to fall back on their trusty Dwerg pistols. Design Notes: Quake cannon-wielding bombards. Putting the BOOM in Boomstick.

A brain-linked Grineer soldier has been plugged in where the head should be. Armed with a multitude of weapons, the Sulimov can deal extremely high damage in very short time. It's shield systems are still online, granting it that much more defensive power. Design Notes: Sulimov's dogs are a special crossbreed between dogs and jackals. Corpus calls Grineer "dogs". I'm so clever. As you may imagine this is not a normal unit, it will only spawn in super high level missions probably only after some time has passed (a reward for vets, I guess). The Sulimov is quite large obviously, so only certain tiles could support it.

These units are equipped with a arm augment replacing their right arm with an incredibly lethal experimental Railgun. They take extra long to fire, but remain fully mobile when charging, and each shot is pretty much death to everything in the way. Every time they fire, a line of strong energy forms behind the projectile (it's hit scan actually), with high chance of proccing both Radiation and Corrosive. Their advanced armor grants them the ability to fly and teleport at will. Design Notes: I like making Ballista variants.

When endangered, the Usurper can awaken the ghost of the captured Sentient to become invulnerable, while granting sentient-like damage adaptability to all nearby Grineer. The Ghost works much like a Vomvalyst, being able to be damaged only with void-based attacks. When destroyed it will also heavily damage the Usurper, removing any and all buffs it granted. Tusk variants only spawn at Night, while Kuva variant takes less damage from ghost's death. Design Notes: The Grineer are learning how to harness the Sentients' powers. Be scared.

They are purposefully born as Siamese twins, one of them growing out of the other's back. The "backpack" twin is bred to be highly intelligent, while the "carrier" is made to be greatly physically capable. The resulting soldier combines the best of the two worlds. Add in very heavy, double-layered armor, Nano-Fiber Mesh undercoat, high quality augments and powerful weaponry, and you have the Katafrakt. The "backpack" twin not only controls the secondary arm-mounted weaponry, but also grants the soldier a sort of prescience, where they can dodge attacks near instantly. The heavy assault jetpack is not used to fly, but instead allows the Katafrakt to make reckless charges towards the enemy to skewer them with their chainsaw. Design Notes: Thought the Grineer need some more body horror. Interestingly (according to wikipedia), "Most live births are female, with a ratio of 3:1." Conjoined twinning is a terrible condition and I don't mean to offend anyone that had to deal with it. My condolences go to anyone afflicted by it.

They are purposefully born as Siamese twins, one of them growing out of the other's back. The "backpack" twin is bred to be highly intelligent, while the "carrier" is made to be greatly physically capable. The resulting soldier combines the best of the two worlds. The "backpack" twin not only controls the secondary arm-mounted weaponry, but also grants the soldier a sort of prescience, where they can dodge attacks near instantly. The Efreeti (named for the similarity between pronouncing "3T" and that mythical creature's name) is highly mobile and intelligent, able to rival the Tenno in agility. Equipped with the advanced Taktikar rifle, they can easily fight either as assault troopers or snipers. This unit is meant as an even stronger replacement for the Elite Lancer, after a certain level has been achieved. Design Notes: Thought the Grineer need some more body horror.

The Eradikator beam gun can fire a homing medium-ranged energy stream at the target after charging for a short period of time, dealing steady Void damage. If the target is a Warframe, their Operator will rapidly lose energy as well. If their whole energy is depleted while inside the Warframe, they will be forced out. The beam is capable of instantly changing the target to the Operator in case they use Transference. The Kuva variant has an extremely high chance of appearing during Kuva Flood missions.

AH, visual resemblance is superficial, more nasty ambush then mobile platform with a bit of jet-packing for good measure. AH, like a baliff, but, from the depths of knockback hell and a graduate from the school of Rollerama. Ah, a "dead woman walking", reminds me a bit of the ol dreadnaughts from the Warhammerverse. Waste not, want not, right? Ah, I get it now, this fellow fits roughly into the department I was aiming for in the creation of my Parapet units. Super heavy killing machines that don't show up often and jack up typical battle order by being particularity surly to remove. Where I aimed for supplementary support and tracking, you went all out fire-support and offensive prowess. AH, a "soul cage" of sorts the Grins using to crudely direct the energies of the Sentient. TOTALLY healthy and in no way potentially mind/body/soul warping. AH, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Have I said Ah goddem enough yet? Geezus. I need to vary my responses sometimes/MUCH MORE often.

HugintheCrow Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) On 2018-11-19 at 10:34 PM, HugintheCrow said: Next, the Glossary I talked about, as well as probably another weapon cache, Here it is. Grineer Reinforcements 4: This time most of the weapons come from the recent unit expansion, but it also includes my first Mark II weapon. As always, pics first, stats later. This will be updated when stats are rolled out. Done. Without further ado: Desakar Sniper Pistol, Flemak Sludgethrower, Klensak Pistol, Murdahuk Scythe, Kriga Warfans, Itaka Pump-Action Shotgun, Hind Mark II DMR, Stakan LMG, Dragulok Auto-Sniper Rifle, Enfild Sniper Rifle, Revakar Rotary Autocannon and Grindarak Autocannon: Desakar: Spoiler Description: Variable Range Precision Guided Weapon System known as the Desakar is a highly advanced, elite pistol, for use only by important VIPs. It's main strength is the elastic Morphic-made barrel, which grants the weapon accuracy and power comparable to large-caliber rifles. Intelligent aiming system automatically lengthens or shortens the gun based on the distance to the current target, while sophisticated assist program allows scoped shots to always hit the intended enemy. Mechanics: Alt-fire: TPO System: Zooming in allows the user to lock on onto enemies by pressing alt-fire. After the initial lock on period, the weapon will fire automatically whenever the reticule is over one of the targets (when the reticule is not over any locked on enemy, the weapon will simply not fire at all). Desakar will always attempt to hit the part of the target's body that was highlighted when locking on, thus aiming for heads is always a good idea. If no enemies are highlighted, the weapon acts like a normal pistol. Design notes: @(XB1)Fluffywolf36 once said he's not cruel enough to put the Titanfall's Smart Pistol into Warframe... I am. Stats: Mastery: 11 Slot: Secondary Type: Pistol Trigger: Semi-Auto Ammo: Pistol Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 1.78 rounds per sec Accuracy: 100 Magazine size: 10+1 rounds per mag Max ammo: 200 rounds Reload time: 1.7 s Total Damage: 200.0 Impact: 80.0 Puncture: 20.0 Slash: 100.0 Crit chance: 30% Crit multiplier: 2.0x Precision multiplier: 2.25x Status chance: 15% Damage falloff: Full damage up to 180 m, Min damage at 200 m, Min damage: 80% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab: Requires Argonak Research. Flemak: Spoiler Description: Crude and dangerous, Flemak utilises what Grineer always have in overwhelming quantities: toxic industrial waste. This "Sludgethrower", as it is affectionately called amongst the Chemical Warfare Division's troops, melts enemies with a deadly stream of disgusting, boiling mass. Overloading the pump system allows to fire globs of sludge over longer than should be legal distances. Mechanics: Innate: Pure-Toxin Mixing Chamber: This weapon's unique damage types do not combine with mods put on it in any way. Alt-fire: Pump Overload: Charge to fire a splashing glob of chemicals. Design notes: Somewhat inspired by the Nox unit, it is however meant to expand the toxic arsenal of the Grineer.

Requires Ignis Research. Klensak: Spoiler Description: Exclusively used by the elusive "Vala's Flowers", this assassination device fires miniature "melt-in-flight" capsules, filled with deadly viral payload. The original version of the weapon was mean to kill the target by utilising various pathogens with delayed activation, making sure the source of viruses could not be tracked. As there is no bullet, nor immediately visible wound, the gun would make the user essentially be impossible to find. A modification for direct and faster combat has been since developed, swallowing the enemy in a cloud of lethal poisons. Mechanics: Innate: Nothing Remains: Enemies killled with this weapon are instantly disintegrated. Design notes: You could call this a counterpart to the Tenno-used Zakti. Stats: Mastery: 10 Slot: Secondary Type: Pistol Trigger: Semi-Auto Ammo: Pistol Range limit: 50 m Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 2 rounds per sec Accuracy: 100 Magazine size: 1 round per mag Max ammo: 25 rounds Reload time: 0.99 s Total Damage: 60.0 Gas: 30.0 Viral: 30.0 Crit chance: 30% Crit multiplier: 2.1x Precision multiplier: 2.75x Status chance: 30% Damage falloff: N/A Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint obtainable from the Hitman's Armory Gifts. Murdahuk: Spoiler Description: This wicked instrument of execution is favoured amongst Grineer assassins. The weapon's super heated edge cuts through armor and shields with ease, not to mention the flesh. Unique modular design allows a skiled user to pull in enemies from behind to perform the final cut. Mechanics: Innate: Execution: This weapon has greatly increased range on finisher attacks. Slam attacks don't ragdoll, but instead stagger all enemies hit. Alt-fire: Modular Blade: Toggle to straighten the blade, granting more range at the cost of attack speed. Design notes: A literal Murder Hook. Stats: Mastery: 5 Slot: Melee Type: Scythe Attack Speed: 1.5/1.2 Range: 3.0 m/4.0 m Combo Duration: 5 s Block Angle: 60o Follow Through: 0.6 Total Damage: 360.0 Impact: 20.0 Puncture: 80.0 Slash: 260.0 Slam impact damage: 720.0 Slam radial damage: 360.0 Slam radius: 8.0 m Slide attack: 720.0 Wall attack: 540.0 Heavy Impact: 720.0 Wind-up: 0.8 s Heavy Slam: 1440.0 Radial Damage: 1440.0 Slam Radius: 9.0 m Crit chance: 30% Crit multiplier: 2.2x Precision multiplier: 0.0x Status chance: 15% Polarities: Stance Polarity: Stances: Reaping Spiral (), Stalking Fan (), Shadow Harvest () (PvP only) Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab. Requires Sydon Research. Kriga: Spoiler Description: The Kriga are as much of a weapon as they are a tool of art. Sophisticated Nobles have their prized warriors use this weapon to show off their dominance of the battlefield and skill in destroying their enemies. These deadly sawblades shred body and armor alike and have a chance to completely disregard secondary defences like shields with each strike. Mechanics: Innate: Razor Strike: This weapon has 10% chance to deal Finisher damage on attack. Design notes: I actually like the Gunsen and Slicing Feathers. I want more. Sue me.

Itaka: Spoiler Description: This rugged shotgun uses fairly basic Pump Action to devastating results. While each shell from a sizeable magazine can be loaded and fired one by one, a cunning soldier can use alt-fire to pump the weapon multiple times in preparation to unleash a deadly hyper-burst of lead upon their enemies. While the weapon works in the hands of the augmented Grineer, weaker operators might have a lot of trouble dealing with it's monstrous recoil. Mechanics: Alt-fire: Pumped Up: Press to load another shell to be fired in an instant burst. Design notes: Variable burst shotgun. That's cool. Stats: Mastery: 11 Slot: Primary Type: Shotgun Trigger: Semi-Auto Ammo: Shotgun Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 1.3 rounds per sec Accuracy: 22 Magazine size: 30 rounds per mag Max ammo: 330 rounds Reload time: 1.66 s Total Damage: 600 Pellets: 10 (60 damage per pellet) Impact: 230.0 Puncture: 70.0 Slash: 300.0 Crit chance: 30% Crit multiplier: 2.4x Precision multiplier: 0.0x Status chance: 10% (per pellet) Damage falloff: Full damage up to 10 m, Min damage at 30 m, Min damage: 50% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab: Requires Grattler Research. Hind Mark II: Spoiler Description: The result of an ongoing effort to update the Grineer arsenal, the Mark II is a powerful and accurate DMR, able to fire in the traditional 5-burst mode, 3-burst and semi-automatically (alt-fire to switch). Utilizing the newest upgrades in optic systems, Mark II is equipped with enemy-detector and kill-shot calculator, which allows the operator to decide, which mode of fire is the best for the given situation. Large, helical magazine located in the buttstock is not only highly ergonomical to switch, but also provides a large supply of ammunition. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Mechanics: Innate: Advanced Optic Systems: This weapon highlights enemies and predicts kills (even when not scoped in), letting the operator to decide when not to take the shot in stealth situations. While scoped in, enemies glow in the weapon's energy color (not just an outline, their whole sihouette would be marked), Punch-Through allows to see enemies through walls (up to the Punch-through value). Primary Fire Mode: 5-Burst. Secondary Fire Mode: 3-Burst. Tertiary Fire Mode: Semi-Auto Single-Shot. Design notes: I like the idea of 5-burst gun, I don't like the Hind. I thought I'd update the look to fit Grineer more than the good ol' molten baguette. Visuals inspired by the StA409 from Killzone Shadowfall. Stats: Mastery: 12 Slot: Primary Type: Rifle Trigger: Burst/Burst/Semi-Auto Ammo: Rifle Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 7 rounds per sec/8 rounds per sec/8 rounds per sec Accuracy: 55.5/60.0/75.0 Magazine size: 145 rounds per mag Max ammo: 725 rounds Reload time: 1.525 s Total Damage: 77.0 (385.0 total damage in 5-burst, 231.0 total damage in 3-burst) Burst count: 5/3/1 Impact: 25.0 Puncture: 13.0 Slash: 39.0 Crit chance: 27% Crit multiplier: 2.1x Precision multiplier: 2.0x/2.0x/2.25x Status chance: 30% Damage falloff: Full damage up to 100 m, Min damage at 150 m, Min damage: 50% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab. Requires Taktikar Research. Stakan: Spoiler Description: Stakan is a higher fire rate and lower accuracy alternative to the Hind Mk. II DMR. Used as an SAW, it can fill rooms with lead incredibly fast and have some left for any eventual stragglers. The Bullpup configuration is replaced with more straight-forward large drum magazine and superficial optic systems have been stripped out in favour of more simplistic iron sights. Best used a suppression weapon, the Stakan can be much more useful in CQC. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Mechanics: Innate: Heavy Rounds: This weapon has a chance to stagger enemies with each shot. More effective against shielded units and less effective against armored units. Design notes: Stakan is a russian nickname for the attack helicopter most people know as the Hind. Considering these two guns feature interchangeable parts, it feels like a good name. Visuals inspired by the Stahl Arms' weapons from Killzone Shadowfall. Stats: Mastery: 12 Slot: Primary Type: Rifle Trigger: Auto Ammo: Rifle Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 15.0 rounds per sec Accuracy: 46.0 Magazine size: 245 rounds per mag Max ammo: 735 rounds Reload time: 1.725 s Total Damage: 77.0 Impact: 25.0 Puncture: 13.0 Slash: 39.0 Crit chance: 15% Crit multiplier: 2.0x Precision multiplier: 1.33x Status chance: 36% Damage falloff: Full damage up to 90 m, Min damage at 145 m, Min damage: 50% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab. Requires Hind Mark II Research. Dragulok: Spoiler Description: Dragulok is a powerful, fully automatic sniper rifle, meant to be used by the highly mobile Kusza Troops. Unfortunately for anyone else, this means the gun is extremely hard to control when fired at full RoF, since it was designed to rely on the user's specific set of augments. Nevertheless, if one was to somehow reign in the recoil, the gun can fire extremely precise volleys across great distances. Powerful optics can automatically adapt to the range of engagement, making this the first weapon to have completely elastic variable zoom. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Mechanics: Innate: Variable Zoom: Zoom will dynamically adapt to best show whatever the user is looking at. Innate: Advanced Optic Systems: This weapon highlights enemies and predicts kills (even when not scoped in), letting the operator to decide when not to take the shot in stealth situations. While scoped in, enemies glow in the weapon's energy color (not just an outline, their whole sihouette would be marked), Punch-Through allows to see enemies through walls (up to the Punch-through value). Design notes: Autosnipers are fun. Visuals inspired by the Stahl Arms' weapons from Killzone Shadowfall. Stats: Mastery: 13 Slot: Primary Type: Sniper Rifle Trigger: Auto Ammo: Sniper Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 9.0 rounds per sec Accuracy: 80.0 Magazine size: 55+1 rounds per mag Max ammo: 550 rounds Reload time: 2.0 s Total Damage: 167.0 Impact: 65.0 Puncture: 13.0 Slash: 89.0 Crit chance: 37% Crit multiplier: 2.0x Precision multiplier: 2.25x Status chance: 10% Damage falloff: Full damage up to 300 m, Min damage at 600 m, Min damage: 70% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab. Requires Hind Mark II Research. Enfild: Spoiler Description: The Enfild fires some of the largest rounds for a man-portable weapon in the whole Grineer arsenal. Powerful and precise, it requires high degree of training and augmentation to be wielded correctly due to it's sheer mass, making it a poor weapon for non-Grineer. It is the first sniper rifle to feature a fire selector, allowing it to fire in semi-auto, full-auto and 3-burst modes. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Mechanics: Innate: Advanced Optic Systems: This weapon highlights enemies and predicts kills (even when not scoped in), letting the operator to decide when not to take the shot in stealth situations. While scoped in, enemies glow in the weapon's energy color (not just an outline, their whole sihouette would be marked), Punch-Through allows to see enemies through walls (up to the Punch-through value). Primary Fire Mode: Semi-Auto Single Shot. Secondary Fire Mode: Full-Auto. Tertiary Fire Mode: Tri-Burst. Design notes: Visuals inspired by the Stahl Arms' weapons from Killzone Shadowfall and the Tiberon Prime (as it is meant to be a reverse-engineered Tiberon Prime lore-wise). Stats: Mastery: 13 Slot: Primary Type: Sniper Rifle Trigger: Semi-Auto/Auto/Burst Ammo: Sniper Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 6.45 rounds per sec/8.33 rounds per sec/7.5 rounds per sec Accuracy: 80.0 Magazine size: 6 rounds per mag Max ammo: 90 rounds Reload time: 2.1 s Total Damage: 267.0 Burst count: 1/1/3 Impact: 85.0 Puncture: 63.0 Slash: 119.0 Crit chance: 39%/29%/34.5% Crit multiplier: 2.5x/2.0x/2.25x Precision multiplier: 2.75x/2.0x/2.25x Status chance: 10%/36%/23% Damage falloff: Full damage up to 400 m, Min damage at 800 m, Min damage: 70% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab. Requires Dragulok Research. Revakar: Spoiler Description: Revakar is a step-up from the Stakan SAW, featuring three barrels and much larger magazine and RoF, this weapon can fire all day long. It's name comes from a specific way it is readied to fire, requiring the operator to rev the gun up using a side handle, akin to a chainsaw. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Mechanics: Innate: Super-Heavy Rounds: This weapon has a very large chance to stagger enemies with each shot. More effective against shielded units and less effective against armored units. Innate: Rotary Engine: The weapon cannot be fired before achieving maximum spin. This weapon fires straight from reserves. Alt-fire: Rev-Up: Press to ready up the weapon for firing; keeps the weapon at full spin and ready to fire for a short duration. Design notes: A small brother to the Vulkin. Stats: Mastery: 13 Slot: Primary Type: Rifle Trigger: Auto Ammo: Heavy Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 27.0 rounds per sec Accuracy: 35.33 Magazine size: N/A Max ammo: 1200 rounds Reload time: 2.5 s Total Damage: 79.0 Impact: 25.0 Puncture: 14.0 Slash: 40.0 Crit chance: 19% Crit multiplier: 2.0x Precision multiplier: 1.33x Status chance: 36% Damage falloff: Full damage up to 100 m, Min damage at 150 m, Min damage: 45% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint researchable in Dojo Chem lab: Requires Stakan Research. Grindarak: Spoiler Description: Powerful vehicle-grade Autocannon mounted on personnel-mountable frame with a power-chainsaw bayonet attachment. Used only by the Katafrakt elites, and to deadly effects. Features the same reload slash attack function of the Dragunok and the alt-fire bayonet charge, but with more sawing people in half (the charge will instakill any non-special unit below 50% hp, be careful as this is usable by the Katafrakts, as they can and will attempt to gore Tenno using this). Mechanics: Reload: Bayonet Slash: Press to perform a melee attack with double damage and base status chance. Alt-fire: Katafrakt Charge: Press to dash forward, impaling any enemies collided with. Saws enemies in half at the end of the charge. Design notes: It's like using a cannon. But with a chainsaw. Stats: Mastery: 15 Slot: Primary Type: Rifle Trigger: Auto Ammo: Heavy Noise: Alarming Fire rate: 10 rounds per sec Accuracy: 46.0 Magazine size: 22 rounds per mag Max ammo: 88 rounds Reload time: 1.99 s Total Damage: 600.0 Impact: 240.0 Puncture: 100.0 Slash: 260.0 Crit chance: 27% Crit multiplier: 2.0x Precision multiplier: 1.33x Status chance: 10% Damage falloff: Full damage up to 100 m, Min damage at 150 m, Min damage: 50% Polarities: Manufacturing Requirements: Blueprint can be dropped by Katafrakts.

(XBOX)Arbalestier Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'd ditch the chainsaws for a heat spike. Also, Kuva weapon skins would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chainsaws are more METAL (and a Gears of War reference). DE made Nightwatch skins, no reason they couldn't do the same with Kuva (in fact I color most of my Grineer weapons in Kuva color scheme anyway, I'm talking about in-game).

Unus Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 12 hours ago, HugintheCrow said: Here it is. Grineer Reinforcements 4: This time most of the weapons come from the recent unit expansion, but it also includes my first Mark II weapon. As always, pics first, stats later. This will be updated when stats are rolled out. Without further ado: Desakar Sniper Pistol, Flemak Sludgethrower, Klensak Pistol, Murdahuk Scythe, Kriga Warfans, Itaka Pump-Action Shotgun, Hind Mark II DMR, Stakan LMG, Dragulok Auto-Sniper Rifle, Enfild Sniper Rifle, Revakar Rotary Autocannon and Grindarak Autocannon: Desakar: Reveal hidden contents Description: Variable Range Precision Guided Weapon System known as the Desakar is a highly advanced, elite pistol, for use only by important VIPs. It's main strength is the elastic Morphic-made barrel, which grants the weapon accuracy and power comparable to large-caliber rifles. Intelligent aiming system automatically lengthens or shortens the gun based on the distance to the current target, while sophisticated assist program allows scoped shots to always hit the intended enemy. Zooming in allows the user to lock on onto enemies by pressing alt-fire. After the initial lock on period, the weapon will fire automatically whenever the reticule is over one of the targets (when the reticule is not over any locked on enemy, the weapon will simply not fire at all). Desakar will always attempt to hit the part of the target's body that was highlighted when locking on, thus aiming for heads is always a good idea. If no enemies are highlighted, the weapon acts like a normal pistol. Design notes: @(XB1)Fluffywolf36 once said he's not cruel enough to put the Titanfall's Smart Pistol into Warframe... I am. Stats: Flemak: Reveal hidden contents Description: Crude and dangerous, Flemak utilises what Grineer always have in overwhelming quantities: toxic industrial waste. This "Sludgethrower", as it is affectionately called amongst the Chemical Warfare Division's troops, melts enemies with a deadly stream of disgusting, boiling mass. Overloading the pump system allows to fire globs of sludge over longer than should be legal distances. Design notes: Somewhat inspired by the Nox unit, it is however meant to expand the toxic arsenla of the Grineer. Stats: Klensak: Reveal hidden contents Description: Exclusively used by the elusive "Vala's Flowers", this assassination device fires miniature "melt-in-flight" capsules, filled with deadly viral payload. The original version of the weapon was mean to kill the target by utilising various pathogens with delayed activation, making sure the source of viruses could not be tracked. As there is no bullet, nor immediately visible wound, the gun would make the user essentially be impossible to find. A modification for direct and faster combat has been since developed, swallowing the enemy in a cloud of lethal poisons. Design notes: You could call this a counterpart to the Tenno-used Zakti. Stats: Murdahuk: Reveal hidden contents Description: This wicked instrument of execution is favoured amongst Grineer assassins. The weapon's super heated edge cuts through armor and shields with ease, not to mention the flesh. Unique modular design allows a skiled user to pull in enemies from behind to perform the final cut (increased range on finisher attacks). Alt-fire straightens the blade, granting more range at the cost of attack speed. Slam attacks don't ragdoll, but instead stagger all enemies hit. Design notes: Stats: Kriga: Reveal hidden contents Description: The Kriga are as much of a weapon as they are a tool of art. Sophisticated Nobles have their prized warriors use this weapon to show off their dominance of the battlefield and skill in destroying their enemies. These deadly sawblades shred body and armor alike and have a chance to completely disregard secondary defences like shields with each strike. Design notes: I actually like the Gunsen and Slicing Feathers. I want more. Sue me. Stats: Itaka: Reveal hidden contents Description: This rugged shotgun uses fairly basic Pump Action to devastating results. While each shell from a sizeable magazine can be loaded and fired one by one, a cunning soldier can use alt-fire to pump the weapon multiple times in preparation to unleash a deadly hyper-burst of lead upon their enemies. While the weapon works in the hands of the augmented Grineer, weaker operators might have a lot of trouble dealing with it's monstrous recoil. Design notes: Stats: Hind Mark II: Reveal hidden contents Description: The result of an ongoing effort to update the Grineer arsenal, the Mark II is a powerful and accurate DMR, able to fire in the traditional 5-burst mode, 3-burst and semi-automatically (alt-fire to switch). Utilizing the newest upgrades in optic systems, Mark II is equipped with enemy-detector and kill-shot calculator, which allows the operator to decide, which mode of fire is the best for the given situation. Large, helical magazine located in the buttstock is not only highly ergonomical to switch, but also provides a large supply of ammunition. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Design notes: I like the idea of 5-burst gun, I don't like the Hind. I thought I'd update the look to fit Grineer more than the good old molten baguette. Visuals inspired by the StA409 from Killzone Shadowfall. Stats: Stakan: Reveal hidden contents Description: Stakan is a higher fire rate and lower accuracy alternative to the Hind Mk. II DMR. Used as an LMG, it can fill rooms with lead incredibly fast and have some left for any eventual stragglers. The Bullpup configuration is replaced with more straight-forward large drum magazine and superficial optic systems have been stripped out in favour of more simplistic iron sights. Best used a suppression weapon, the Stakan can be much more useful in CQC. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Design notes: Stakan is a russian nickname for the attack helicopter most people know as the Hind. Considering these two guns feature interchangeable parts, it feels like a good name. Visuals inspired by the Stahl Arms' weapons from Killzone Shadowfall. Stats: Dragulok: Reveal hidden contents Description: Dragulok is a powerful, fully automatic sniper rifle, meant to be used by the highly mobile Kusza Troops. Unfortunately for anyone else, this means the gun is extremely hard to control when fired at full RoF, since it was designed to rely on the user's specific set of augments. Nevertheless, if one was to somehow reign in the recoil, the gun can fire extremely precise volleys across great distances. Powerful optics can automatically adapt to the range of engagement, making this the first weapon to have completely elastic variable zoom. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Design notes: Autosnipers are fun. Visuals inspired by the Stahl Arms' weapons from Killzone Shadowfall. Stats: Enfild: Reveal hidden contents Description: The Enfild fires some of the largest rounds for a man-portable weapon in the whole Grineer arsenal. Powerful and precise, it requires high degree of training and augmentation to be wielded correctly due to it's sheer mass, making it a poor weapon for non-Grineer. It is the first sniper rifle to feature a fire selector, allowing it to fire in semi-auto, full-auto and 3-burst modes. Designed by Arno Harkonar, this weapon's parts can be used to build or repair any of the weapons from the Unified Armament System. Design notes: Visuals inspired by the Stahl Arms' weapons from Killzone Shadowfall and the Tiberon Prime (as it is meant to be a reverse-engineered Tiberon Prime lore-wise). Stats: Revakar: Reveal hidden contents Description: Revakar is a ste-up form the Stakan LMG, featuring three barrels and much larger magazine and RoF, this weapon can fire all day long. It's name comes from a specific way it is readied to fire, requiring the operator to rev the gun up using a side handle, akin to a chainsaw.

Design notes: It's like using a cannon. But with a chainsaw. Stats: Back to the Main Post AH, THIS time around, the ones that caught me eye are the Kiriga and, well, as you stated in your opener, this Mk2 you bring to the table. Running Commentary= AH! You to have turned to the claytronic power of morphics for at least one of your designs! I have a certain Orokin needlegun as well as a set of "claws" that use it as well. Heh, another design I can parallel with my sludge-thrower, the Eiellew, albeit, yours has the benefit of being Post-Nox, while mine hails from 2016. (Also, comes with graphics.) AH! Like my Suesh, but, even more advanced and insidious. No opinion. And so the Grins finally get to put their hat in the ring, heh. I like how it was more-then-likely never meant to be an actual "fan" persay, but, it ended up getting slotted in there anyway. Grinic Wile-E engineering at its finest. Heh, ANOTHER design I have a parallel to, the Obar. It seems we share mental chemistry in several aspects of grinic design! Heh, first thing to run through my mind was the old Hammerburst and Hammerburst MK2 guns of Gears of War. Low and behold, I can actually see a similarity here between the Mk1 vs the Mk2. Ah, so Killzone is the place you ""get your ideas"". Your "Muse", if you will? Ah, Bozartastic! Ah, a bit of technological recreation on the Grins part, trying to catch up the light-years ahead Corps and their attempts? Heh, my turn-krank, your pull khord. Gotta start dat engine somehow. FIRST thing that comes to mind, three lil words, Ogryn, Ripper, Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
