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 drew their blades and stepped into battle ready to show Excalibur that he's not the only one with deadly sword skills. The result has been a week of Blade and Gun's most violent submissions, from multiple kills with a single blow to up-close impalement. It can't be said that Tenno don't help keep the sanitation industry on its toes.

While the enemies of the Lotus arrange for a proper scrubbing of their respective ships and military outposts, a new Tenno has been selected to become Champion…

Seasoned Swordsman and Gun Champion:

Neon pink may not be the stealthiest of colors, but it can be pretty stylish when used with some flashy sword swings. MystMan's wide arc cuts himself ahead of the competition and earns himself the title of Blade and Gun Champion.

In addition to his unique forum title MystMan is the third of eight Champions to be selected for Season 3's upcoming Blade and Gun Champion Challenge; where former Champions compete for platinum prizes!

Blade and Gun Challenge: Missing Persons

Using a stealthy approach to removing high value targets isn't easy. After infiltration, many Tenno prefer to turn their safeties off to wreak havoc behind enemy lines. Even still, moving silently among enemies is a skill that all Tenno are required to master in order to fight the enemies of the Lotus. As a tool of psychological warfare, little can compare to knowing a killer lurks unseen among the rank and file.

For this reason, enemy patrols are often done in pairs or in overlapping routes. It gives the Grineer and Corpus the ability to watch each other's back should an unexpected enemy appear -- and the Tenno an opportunity to show just how close they can get with their deadly talents.

No Primary weapons can be used in this challenge.

All Variations of the following Secondary weapons can be used in this challenge:

· Kunai
