So "Signature" weapons eh?

[Richard02]

So now that Garuda, Gara, Octavia, Revenant, etc got some buffs for their own weapons, when are we seeing AkZani buff for mirage?
Also wouldn't that just makes people use frames simply to get buffs for their favorite weapons or the reverse? Not bothering to use a weapon unless you have/are using the warframe that buffs it?

Example (for thoses that didn't bother reading patch notes) : Harrow gets 2 bullets in Knell instead of one, it's a 100% ammo buff.

Edit: put the real pistol's name

To clarify, by "his pistol", the above is specifically referring to the Knell.

Expect they'll roll out the rest along with each mainline update as they get to them.

So far the buffs are only small enough that it's nice when you use the frame, but you aren't missing much if you aren't. But yes, I think that's part of the point of making them "favourites"

I honestly don't see what the problem with this would be.

Octavia having 20% chances to get all her ammo back on alt headshots with tenora?
Wouldn't that just make everyone that wants to play Octavia/Tenora play the other with it because of how big of an advantage it is to completely avoid reload, leaving more mods slots for damage mods?

Unless you really like the Tenora I don't see this as a big issue. Octavia can use any weapon or in most case, none at all. You aren't locked into just using the Tenora to mid max Octavia or vice versa. 20% chance to get 10 ammo used for the alt fire isn't much.

I'm pretty sure all the mod slots are already taken up by damage mods for most people anyways...

We need exilus slots for guns.

Maybe they are making some small buffs to make certain frames more attractive to use...(anyone know if there is some sort of data showing which warframes are being used the most or least?.

Funny that Tatsu is Revenant's signature, but we need some Venusian ores to craft it, AND the robotic spider from Orb Vallis somehow got its stance...

Does that mean that Revenant originates from Venus?

To be fair, the Orbs DO have some Sentient tech built into them...
