Are Zaws and Kitguns TOO Strong?

Zaws and Kitguns, added alongside the Plains of Eidolon and Fortuna, are basically DIY weaponry. You buy the blueprints for the sort of gun you want, you craft from the blueprints and then you give the parts to a vendor to build it for you. Generally, the blueprints for the components contain various open world resources, but once you have reached level 5 with Fortuna or Cetus, you’ll probably have enough resources to build anything. And you’ll want to reach rank 5 before you start on DIY weapons. Doing so gives you access to not just the best components, but… [Continue Reading]

A Mediocre Suggestion on Kitguns

February 4, 2021January 29, 2021 Medic 0 Comments kitgun, warframe

Kitguns are build-your own weapons originally sold by Rude Zuud in Fortuna, but also sold by Father on Deimos. The idea is simple: Buy the parts, build them then put them together to make a gun. You can mix and match parts, balancing damage, fire rate, ammo and status/critical chance based on what you use. Different Kitguns can be used in different ways, and can be built both as secondary weapons and primary weapons. But Kitguns tend to eat more resources and need a lot more work compared to normal weapons, so you can’t just build them and use them… [Continue Reading]

What If We Had An Actual Helminth Frame? – My Idea to Build an Actually Broken Warframe

Xaku is intended to be this strange, broken Warframe made out of bits and pieces. It’s a cool concept, definitely. But I never felt that, aside from appearances, Xaku was really that broken. After all, having three abilities in one isn’t new. Ivara and Vauban have had that for years. Heck, even the stripping of armour isn’t new! Chroma has been doing that since his release, and Xaku had to have an infinite duration gimmick slapped on to make its version worthwhile. But, more importantly, Xaku’s theme could have been better used as part of the Helminth system. Xaku is… [Continue Reading]

On Kitguns and Zaws

February 13, 2019February 11, 2019 Medic 0 Comments kitgun, warframe, zaw

When Cetus and the Plains of Eidolon were released, they came with the ability to build Zaws, your own, somewhat custom melee weapons. When Fortuna and the Orb Vallis came along, the ability to build Kitguns, DIY secondaries, were also included, as was the ability to build your own MOA companion. If the tradition carries on, I fully expect the next open area to have a collection of make-your-own rifle and shotgun parts, and the open world after that will probably have pet cloning facilities and custom Sentinels. Right now though, it’s mostly just Kitguns and Zaws. Secondary weapons and… [Continue Reading]
