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.

This past week Tenno carefully skirted dangerous firefights looking to pick off individual opponents, culling enemy numbers without the opposition knowing. Performing executions under enemy fire is no easy task, but we received some incredible submissions that used patience, timing, and creativity to get the job done.

Today also marks the end of our first Blade and Gun Champion Challenge, Tenno Teamwork. Our Champions were tasked with creating their own groups and capturing the spirit of cooperation for a chance at a 1000 Platinum grand prize. The submissions we received were incredible! While we can only choose a single winner, we do thank every Champion for the time and effort they put into each submission.

Blade and Gun Champion Challenge Winner:

Every submission we received was epic in its own right, but Xarugas and Exodus341 working in perfect tandem to chase down a fleeing Alad V was just too good. Their hard work as winners of the first Champion Challenge earns both Xarugas and Exodus341 1000 Platinum each.
