Blade and Gun Challenge is all about finding the most entertaining way to punch holes through the enemy - whether that means concentrated laser blasts or death from well-placed arrows.

Each week we pose a unique challenge for Tenno to compete in. Challenges range from specific weapon Loadouts to restricted Warframe builds. The challenge isn't just about using those selected weapons, but making them work in creative ways.

Last week we asked Tenno to show off their stealth skills by taking down surveillance equipment while enemy patrols stood vigilant nearby.  Submissions did a wonderful job showcasing just how much restraint Tenno can have -- letting innocent Moas and Crewman continue to do their jobs unaware of the deadly threat that lurks nearby.

Candid Camera's Blade and Gun Champion:

Congratulations Potwalrus!  Your showcase of why the Corpus' blatant disregard for peripheral vision is an oversight has won you this week's challenge.  As this week's winner you've earned the Forum title of Blade and Gun Champion and the opportunity to help us design a future challenge for other Tenno. 

Potwalrus is also our fifth of eight Tenno chosen to participate in a future special edition of Blade and Gun Challenge, where former Champions face off for unique prizes!
