Tenno ‘Naga’ Gas-Seal Revolver
“Prey on their fear, move like an animal, and feel the kill with the gas-seal Naga revolver. Pace your fire rate for precise, silent shots, or fire rapidly to clear entire rooms.

special traits
Integral Suppressor - Waiting 0.8 seconds between shots while aiming will silence the next shot fired. This is represented by a charge-like icon within the reticle. Silenced shots have 45% status chance.
(NOTE: This is not affected by Lethal Torrent. It just didn’t work. More on that later in artist notes)
Bonus Headshot damage.
Hunter’s Grip - Turns you invisible on stealth kills and headshot kills.
Hunter’s Scope - Scope in for 2.1x zoom by pressing altfire. This adds increased headshot damage!

LORE

A silenced, scoped handcannon that serves as a hip-holstered sniper rifle for Tenno that need something more precise or powerful than their primary weapon.

The Naga was meant to combine Orokin sensibilities and the Tenno need for high stopping power into one pistol. Haruka Lorne, a well-regarded Tenno gunsmith, was contracted to make it so. To everyone’s surprise, her answer was a revolver.

Not because revolvers were out of character for her (they very much weren’t) but because she’d somehow managed to integrally silence one.

This was the Naga Gas-seal Hunting Revolver. A powerful, heavy handgun the size of a small rifle, with an integral scope. Orokin arms research had rediscovered the fact that a fixed-cylinder revolver was capable of chambering the most powerful rounds, and somehow, Haruka and the archimedians tasked with designing it came to the conclusion that the next logical step was to make a revolver that took itself apart, becoming a fixed-cylinder revolver. As such, the Naga comes with a reload that beggars belief, described below.

The metal pieces that hold the cylinder in place from the outside move backwards and forwards.
The top of the revolver connecting the rear sight to the piece between barrel and cylinder moves upward.
The user lets the spent cylinder fall out, and places a new one. The cylinder then uses an advanced Orokin something-or-other to align the closest chamber with the barrel.

In addition, its unique gas-seal system pushes the cylinder forward with each trigger pull, closing the gap between it and the barrel and allowing it to be silenced. Unfortunately, it has a stiff, heavy trigger pull, giving it a slow fire rate**.

However, the silencer struggles to handle the sheer power of the Naga’s very, very long bullets. Thankfully, it is made from Orokin biopolymers, and is capable of healing and re-silencing itself. Pausing between shots for close to a second will give the silencer time to heal, while firing quick volleys will be deafening to the wielder and its targets alike.

“Healing” does not take very long, ensuring that the first shot fired from this weapon will almost always be silenced. In this way, it also rewards quick, precise snapshots. These silent shots have far higher status chance, frequently punching through modern-day Grineer with a barrage of Viral and Heat damage*.

Typically, these pistols were used for both hunting (be that Infested or Sentient forms) or various stealth operations that required something bigger and more powerful than a throwing star. In that era towards the end of the war just before the Tenno “won,” where the fate of the Orokin Empire was uncertain, the Naga was well-known for silently eliminating entire strongholds, taking out guards while kidnapping the “young and exotic” for Yuvan, and culling the ranks of the early proto-corpus “Industrialists” that the Orokin grew to despise.

A legend from the Jovian system claims that one Tenno used this pistol to end a Jovian war of secession among Corpus proto-aristocracy before it could even begin.

Tenno Remarks
* At least, that’s what I keep on mine. ~Haruka Lorne
** Oh yeah, funny story about that. Albrecht - was it Vilcor? God, my memory is like Swiss cheese… anyway, when I was working on this, some Entrati gave me a silenced pre-space revolver from the Entrati… personal collection. Said something like it was used against one of the first Technocyte outbreaks. Can’t imagine it was great, the thing’s a peashooter by modern standards, and the trigger pull is so awful that I had to partially motorize it. It’s like twenty pounds! Also you can fire mine with assist off, but i don’t recommend it. ~Haruka Lorne
What’s swiss cheese? Do you mean Jarnsaxan cheese? ~Yassin
Good question. I have no idea. God, I have the worst headache when I think about this stuff, which is weird because I’m not actually sure if I have a brain anymore. ~Haruka Lorne

ARTIST NOTES
A redraw of old lumpy art! Seriously, shouts out to whoever told me I need to start shift-clicking.

One of my greatest mistakes with the first version was not drawing out the reload, so I’ve done that here.

Basically, this is a Nagant scaled up to BFR size. I wanted to make something like the Hunting Revolver(s) from Fallout New Vegas, and giving it 7 rounds and a silencer seemed like a good way to make it just offbeat enough. It also bears some major influence from the Wingman revolver(s) from Titanfall and Apex. In particular, it’s inspired by the Wingman Elite, because I can’t help but associate the regular old wingman with the phenomenally unsatisfying version from Titanfall 2 (it takes two headshots to kill at point blank range! UGH).

Beyond those influences, it is also a reference to the game Spacelords. Which, sadly, I do not play anymore. Apparently, they really screwed over the game balance (wack) which is a shame because that game had phenomenally creative weapon designs that often felt less like guns and more like special moves in a fighting game. In particular, I ripped the gimmick off almost wholesale from Doldren’s KLT-13 revolver, which is also silenceable if you aim for a short period of time. Though I shaved some stuff down for the sake of fun. For example, I tried to make “Integral suppressor” work with lethal torrent, but either a) it was too breakable and would remove a unique mechanic, b), nobody would be able to enjoy it when they didn’t have enough mod space, or c) all of the above.

I actually do have another Spacelords-inspired shotgun pistol coming SOON™ after this, so look out for that.

If you’re asking why the Nagant, that’s because very little of this is made up beyond the reload. The Nagant… is virtually the only revolver that can be silenced! This is because it uses a gas-seal system that works… well, not unlike how I described it here. A lot of the other stuff here, like its terrible trigger pull, is just me dunking on the Nagant. Did you know I wasn’t making up the part where the double-action version has a nearly twenty-pound trigger pull? Crazy stuff.

Also, the part about the “first technocyte outbreak” is a joke on Darksector’s “hammer 1895,” a Webley revolver that inexplicably fires .308 Nato rounds. The thought occurs that since mine fires something preeeeetty close to rifle rounds, it’s probably closer to how the revolver from that game would really be.

…Hire me as a gun consultant for Warframe 1999, DE! I am trustworthy! I’ll fix Arthur’s fire selector lever on the AK, and you can trust me not to go “.45 uber alles!” like a libertarian!

(...man, I’m worried about how incomprehensible this must be to people that don’t get guns. Especially that last part.)
