Blade and Gun Challenge: Unsteady Allies

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 challenged players to use explosive containers to their advantage -- punishing the Grineer and Corpus for their poor choice in volatile liquid storage. It was no easy feat, but some Tenno did rise to the challenge with spectacular results.

Explosive Timing's Blade and Gun Champion:

Congrats, Exodus341, for not only capturing multiple Grineer with a single explosion but for also proving that Kubrow can fly if they just believe in themselves -- or, alternatively, with a little help from a well-placed Tiberon burst.

As winner of this week's challenge, Exodus341 has earned a unique Forum title and the opportunity to design a future Challenge for fellow Tenno. Additionally, Exodus341 is the seventh of eight Champions to be selected to take place in a unique Blade and Gun Challenge featuring all previous Champions and unique prizes!

Blade and Gun Challenge: Unsteady Allies
There are times where standing side-by-side with the Grineer or Corpus is a necessity. When the balance of power shifts, in any direction, Tenno will lend aid to former enemies to restore order in the Solar System. Most of the time Tenno aren't shy about leading the charge and taking the brunt of the workload -- but every now and then these allies of convenience impress us with heroic displays of their own.

This week players are tasked to join Missions that encourage temporary alliance. These rare moments of co-operation show that there may yet be hope for peace in the Solar System. Capture them, and show that few obstacles remain when differences have been set aside.
