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.

Jan 9 Blade and Gun Challenge: Western Tribute
Westerns are all about fast reflexes with stylish single-shot weapons, and this week’s Blade and Gun Challenge is all about dispensing justice straight from the hip. Putting aside our explosives and futuristic sci-fi rifles, we are focusing on dispatching enemies with firearms that draw from classic gunslingers.

Sorry Brakk, this means you’re going to take the back seat for a while.
