The Hind is a Grineer rifle used by their Elite Lancers. It fires five-round bursts while maintaining a low recoil allowing all rounds fired to land very close to one another, but has poor critical stats. Pressing Alternate Fire shoots single rounds with higher damage per bullet.
This weapon can be sold for 7,500.

Characteristics[]
This weapon primarily deals Slash damage.
Advantages:
- High Slash damage – effective against health and shields (although Puncture and Impact is much better against the respective damage classes).
- High accuracy.
- Large magazine size.
- Highest number of shots per burst out of all burst-fire rifles.
- Burst-fire has low recoil.
- Innate Polarity.
- Can use the Hind-exclusive Final Tap mod.
Disadvantages:
- Low Impact and Puncture.
- Semi-auto fire has the second lowest fire rate of all semi-auto rifles, after Grinlok.
- Linearly less efficient – sometimes a target may only die with six bullets, which requires an entire second burst to be fired. However, this can be circumvented by using the semi-auto single shot.
Tips[]
- New players who prefer burst fire but cannot afford this weapon's heavy building cost should stick with the Burston until they have enough resources.
Trivia[]
- The Hind is one of the Grineer weapons to be showcased in the Chemical Lab.
- The Hind's magazine is a small helical magazine that is inserted under the barrel.
- The Hind probably gets its name from the NATO reporting name for the famous Mil Mi-24 helicopter gunship/troop transport. Other probable sources of the weapon's name include:
- A lesser known aircraft, the Hawker Hind, is a pre-WWII British propeller driven bomber.
- The Golden Hind, Captain Sir Francis Drake's privateer galleon.
- A lunar crater named Hind.
- In the Warframe community, the Hind is nicknamed as "the Baguette" because of its shape closely resembling a loaf.
