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 have taken the fight to their equals, facing off in Conclave to showcase their skill in combat. Capturing the perfect moment that displays unrestrained Tenno ferocity isn't easy, but the submissions this week were nothing short of awesome. Perfectly timed headshots, solid executions and some impressive multikills were the highlight of this week's entries.

We also received a few incredible videos and gifs showcasing some Conclave badassery -- and while we never let those extra submissions influence our decision watching Tenno go to work is always a treat.

Conclave Supremacy's Blade and Gun Champion:

While each submission showed off some impressive Conclave prowess it was Juebev's entry that managed to capture our attention most. Standing victorious over two fallen enemies Juebev's screenshot is a complete story in itself. The payback visual, no allies close by, 17 HP remaining…all that's left is a dramatic slow walk away.

Juebev's skill in Conclave earns them the Forum title of Blade and Gun Champion, a unique in-game Sigil, and the opportunity to help us design a future challenge for their fellow Tenno. Juebev is also the second of eight 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: The Perfect Crime

Data Vaults were designed to be impenetrable fortresses of information. Secure sites where the Grineer and Corpus can house their secrets with no fear from prying eyes. Most of the time these bastions sit quietly, unassailable by the most skilled thieves.

Even Tenno have their work cut out for them when trying to break into a Data Vault. Avoiding laser traps and dodging security patrols is no easy feat, and sometimes it takes a crack team of Tenno to get the job done. Getting the right Tenno for the job may take a bit of time, but it's hard to put a value on watching a group of professional thieves at work.
