History Headscratchers / Warframe

** During the beginning of an infested based mission following the Second Dream, the [[spoiler: Operator]] will occasionally mention something about ancients having lived for millennium, growing stronger by feeding.

** VideoGame/DarkSector may or may not explain it depending on what the devs feel like that day, [[http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Story_and_History the Warframe Wiki gives us some interesting speculation]],[[spoiler: The main character, who we already know was the first Tenno, gets infected with the Technocyte virus and dones a special hybrid power suit that is built from refined and modified aspects of the Technocyte virus. This suit is pretty much an Excalibur warframe with some minor differences. It happens on present day Earth and the ending implies that all of humanity is consumed by the virus at some point]].
** The plague's origin was revealed in [[spoiler:The Sacrifice, where Ballas's logs confirm that the Orokin did in fact create it to use as a weapon against the Sentients. Its fairly safe to assume that the chaos of the war and eventual destruction of the Orokin by the Tenno is what led to the plague escaping containment and running rampant. I.E the infested Derelict drifting just outside the solar system.]]

** With the release of ''The Second Dream'' [[spoiler: the warframes are described as simple puppets or machines that the tenno control]]. Why do they even need life support?
** While they may be "puppets", i believe that warframes DO have some biological components, hence requiring organic components like plastids and neural sensors to construct. Also possibly because you aren't the only ones on the ship, there's another team who are working to loot the place while you're diverting attention

** However, the Jat did NOT use its rockets in melee 1.0 unless using a charge attack. which consisted on hight speed, highly uncontrolled spinning, and on melee 2.0 it doesn't use its rockets outside of the "Crushing ruin" stance's spinning combo, which replicates the aforementioned spinning; furthermore, the Jat seems to be designed to make rocket powered hammering as effective as possible, the rockets are placed as near to the weapon's center of gravity as possible, and are slightly tilted outwards so as to both stabilize the weapon and help with centripetal force, also, the rockets only kick in once the Jat is already spinning, so the tenno doesn't have to redirect nearly as much linear momentum as it'd have to otherwise; it's actually a very clever and deceptively complex design, specially for a grineer weapon; and while definitely an example of CrazyAwesome, it's not as silly as simply attaching rockets to whatever weapon you're using because it was designed to use them effectively from the start.

* why when building a chepalon do you need physical materials are you constructing the computer that holds it or paying the chepalon to be the railjack ai

** this is more likely simply GameplayAndStorySegregation; as Venus in real life has a nearly year long day cycle but in game it’s war and cold so they mostly likely did so players wouldn’t be up at night hunting Teralysts

** Not to mention they are HEAVY weapons for a reason, a lot of their strength comes from crushing, which is helped by mass(which increases momentum), after all your huge battle hammer(fragor) wont be doing much damage if it weights like a balloon, same goes for battle axes(scindo) and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BFS BFSs]](gram).

** Or [[Main/ManchurianAgent Lotus]] [[Main/ThePlan was using Tenno to keep humanity weak until Sentients can return]]. Her sudden departure in HeelFaceTurn that seem to have no reason in her Lotus personality can make think that [[Main/FridgeHorror we served our arch-enemy during all previous game]].

[[folder:Grinning Grineer]]

* Just why are the Grineer called Grineer, when they never look happy about what they're doing? If they're clones, couldn't the creators make them smile, at least to freak out those the Grineer attack?
** I think a grinning, er, Grineer is out of the question-they wouldn't be taken seriously, people would just laugh at them.
** They laugh at you whenever you get hit by a Roller. They just make sure you don't see it, because they don't want a doubly pissed off Tenno on their hands.
** That is, a Tenno with a blade, long gun and pistol who was only recently hacking through all that stood in their way to reach some destination.
** Well, just look at the number of [[IncrediblyLamePun puns]] their officers make.
** Grineer could stand for Genetically Re-engINEERed or Genetically Replicated and engINEERed or something.
*** As everything about the Grineer is about decay over time, and their version of English is heavily distorted and accented "Geck klem!" Grineer likely was short for "Engineer" or even "Gunner" but their word for themselves has decayed into Grineer.
** Out of universe its a holdover from Dark Sectors, the devs' previous game.
