Blade and Gun Challenge: Explosive Timing

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 players were forced to stand their ground against overwhelming numbers, refusing to yield to the Infested horde. The results were epic screenshots that ranged from heroic to tragic, each with their own unique style of action. The competition was fierce, but only submission can be crowned winner.

Infested Hordebreaker's Blade and Gun Champion:
Congrats Worker_Prime, on winning this week's Blade and Gun Challenge. Your care in positioning, careful avoidance of Infested MOA goop, and patience in gathering a small horde of enemies made for an awesome submission.

As winner of this week's challenge Worker_Prime will receive a unique Forum title and the opportunity to design a future Challenge for their fellow Tenno. Additionally, they are the sixth of eight Champions selected to take place in a unique Blade and Gun challenge featuring all our previous Champions for unique prizes!

Blade and Gun Challenge: Explosive Timing

Accuracy is an important part of mastering any weapon, but sometimes there are better options than simply shooting the enemy. Quick thinking and fast reflexes can dispatch multiple enemies with only a single bullet - providing efficiency at the cost of stealth.

Why else would the Corpus and Grineer leave so much volatile liquid around in barrels if not to give Tenno a golden opportunity? Just be light on your feet, Tenno. There's no need to get caught in the blast.

Approved Primary Weapons
• Supra
• Braton (All Variants)
• Burston (All Variants)
• Tetra
• Tiberon
• Latron (All Variants)

Secondary and Melee weapons may be equipped, but CANNOT be used in the submission.
