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 Tenno needed to call up friends with particular sets of skills. By cracking into Grineer and Corpus vaults with comrades, Tenno proved that together there's no amount of security that can stop Warrriors of the Lotus.

Submissions we received captured cooperation at its finest. While setting up a kill in a Spy Vault is no easy feat, one pair of Tenno took home the prize and earned the right to be called Champions.

The Perfect Crime's Blade and Gun Champion(s):

While staying unseen is the best course of action, sometimes good spies need to cover their tracks. Vaykor and Hekez0r's submission is all about cleaning up loose ends - even going so far as to stage a convenient dumping point for the body.

For their excellent display of silent comradery our two Champions this week earn themselves the unique Fourm title of Blade and Gun Champion, a unique in-game sigil and the chance to design a future challenge for their fellow Tenno. They're also the third and fourth Tenno chosen to participate in a future special edition of Blade and Gun Challenge, where former Champions face off for Platinum Prizes!

Blade and Gun Challenge: Fang and Claw

Tenno working together can cause unimaginable damage to enemy forces, but there are times when only a single Tenno is required for a Mission to succeed. It's during these Missions that the Kubrow, well known for its ferocious loyalty, can best serve as a deadly companion.

Kubrow come in many shapes and sizes, but each one is a valuable ally when properly trained and bred for combat. Go forth into missions and show the enemy there is more to be feared in the Tenno arsenal than simply Gun and Blade.

All variants of the following Primary weapons are restricted in this challenge:

· Opticor

· Penta
