Vehicules ideas for open-world maps.

[Erathic]

First of all, unlike other games it's true that players don't need any help when it comes to get somewhere fast.
The warframes and archwing are already great at this for the operators.

But what about the enemies on the ground in open fields?

For now they have fixed artillery, drop ships
and only one type of attack vehicle, the Dargyn, which is a great start for sure.

Lore-wise : Knowing they are facing Fast moving enemies ( Warframes) 
i think they would have come up with a variety of vehicles to protect themselves,
and limit casualties on the field. 

Grineer vehicles : 

Grineer Clemobile (Buggy)
description : A fast hovering Buggy equipped with front and side shields,
decent speed, but low health. Designed to patrol and escort convoys.

variant I - patrol and transport unit that can carry up to 4 soldiers / Players
variant II - Armored with a turret with what seems to be quad ogris rocket launcher. 3 seats.
The vehicule destruction create a big explosion due to the rockets transported on board.
Location : patrolling on roads controlled by the Grineer faction
Operation : 1 driver , + up to 3 seats or 1 drive + 1 that use the rocket launcher

Grineer Kraken (Tank)
A slow hovering Tank, deployed to defend small outposts that don’t have fixed turrets defenses installed yet.
It Takes 3 sec to reload it’s catapults and it shoot a slow traveling plasma projectile in arc. To take control of it the player need to hack into the tank when the shield is down.
and then can fire up to 3 shots until the vehicule security lock-it down and start a countdown to self-destruct the vehicule.
Location :  close to Grineer small outposts and strategic watchtowers.
Pilot : 1 driver, can shoot too as well.

Grineer Leektar (Hoverbike)

Equiped with heavy machine-guns and an invisible mode.
Designed as an embush and scouting vehicule 
Location : patroling outside of Grineer territories
Pilot: Driver + 1 passenger both can shoot secondary weapons

Grineer Jat Dreg (Mech armor)
A massive robotic walker exoskeleton
equiped with a giant version of a Jat Kittag and dash thrusters
Fast movement speed thanks to  dash abilities
But relatively slow turning speed. 
That can be used to reach it’s weakness, his back
The players can shoot  it’s battery in the back to paralyze it. 
Very slow bug devastating attacks and combos, it can also stomp the ground to stun any nearby enemy. 
Location : inside outposts and used only in emergency situations
Pilot : 2 pilots, one that control the legs, and one that control the attacks.

Heavy armored Grineer train
that transport precious mining ressources accross the plains, 
With on-board artillery support.

The overall idea is to have more interesting and rich gameplay battles on the ground when raiding open-world enemies bases,
also stealing vehicles is a common and always fun mechanism in open-world games, I think it could be fun even in Warframe.

etc.. more ideas to come,
(More walkers based vehicles for Corpus)
and feel free to write yours too.

thanks for reading

But why these when hoverboards is bae.

But why these when hoverboards is bae.

Good point, but as explained,

the point is not transportation for tenno. we have archwing and soon the hoverboards. 
It's about having more vehicles diversity for enemies factions.

Why?
1 - To have more interesting and fun combats situations
compared to just having bullet-sponge enemies randomly dropping from the sky or popping from the ground.
that are stuck on foot and are very easy to run away from in seconds with an archwing or hoverboard.

2 - To have more strategic uses of the hoverboard/archwing in open area, beside just a transportation from a point A to B. 
it could be fun (and logic) to have some enemies being able to hop in various vehicles to chase tennos (like the Dargyn in the plains) ,
Or us chasing down ground patrols or targets at high speed with our hoverboard

I hope it makes sense 😃
