Warframe: Weapons Skins.

Got a Skin blueprint and after crafting it, it desapears?
Relax! It's not a bug, you just have to get what you need ELSE.

SKINS USAGE

I'm making this guide just because it happend to me and I went very sad thinking it could be a glitch. But it's not.

So let's explain.

I was farming and oppening new places when I got this blueprint from a random alert mission. It was a blueprint of a SKIN called Brokk hammer. So in no time I went to the foundry to make my new weapon. As I had almost all things, I just farmed the 3 Gallium I didn't have and crafted it. In the next day I claimed and where the hell was it?? I got nuts after hours farming those gallium for a weapon and then I realised that it was a skin, so I googled a bit and I discovered that was a skin for Fragor, then I just bought the Fragor from store and it worked! In the color menu I could pick the normal Fragor Skin or the Brokk very nice skin.

So now your are thinking: WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!
So let me tell you. Maybe...
The point is some of those skins are not just aesthetics changes. Most of them make small changes in original weapons. The Brokk Skin for instance makes the weapon gain 5% faster to use simples attacks, but makes 10% slower for charge attack.

Let's resume:

__ A SKIN IS A CHANGE OF AN ANOTHER WEAPON AND YOU HAVE TO OWN THAT WEAPON TO USE THE SKIN.
__ A SKIN BLUEPRINT REQUIRES THE SAME RESOURCES AS THE ORIGINAL WEAPON TO BE CRAFTED.

Now take a look at them:

Now a list of other weapons and their respective skins.

Weapon	Skin Name	Changes
Scindo	Dagger Axe Skin	N.A
Scindo	Manitcore Axe Skin	Additional damage with a decrease in swing speed
Dual Zoren	Manticore Axe Skin	N.A
Fargor	Brokk Skin	5% speed increase normal attack 10% speed Decrease charge attack

There are no skins for firing weapons for now.
