Characteristics

This weapon primarily deals Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.

Advantages:

  • High Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against health.
  • Semi-auto fire has good critical chance.
  • Burst-fire has good status chance.
  • High accuracy.
  • Large magazine size.
  • Highest number of shots per burst out of all burst-fire rifles.
  • Burst-fire has low recoil.
  • Innate Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. Polarity.

Disadvantages:

  • Low Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. – less effective against shields and armor.
  • Burst-fire has very low critical chance.
  • Burst-fire has low critical damage.
  • Semi-auto fire has low status chance.
  • 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.

Notes

  • This weapon was introduced in Update 9.6 (2013-08-16).
  • Mods that affect fire rate will also affect the burst rate, making the Hind very deadly with mods that increase the firerate, and even more so with the addition of punch through.
  • Elite Lancers have the ability to fire the weapon as fast as players can with near maximum firerate mods on. Coupled with decent slash damage and a 10% status, these Lancers are notorious for constantly inflicting players with slash procs that strip away their health even while their shields are up.

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.
  • The Hind is made significantly better against enemy groups with the addition of Mod TT 20px Shred or Mod TT 20px Metal Auger.
  • Mod TT 20px Stabilizer effectively reduces the recoil on every burst giving it more pin point precision over long distances or for better headshots.
    • If one does not have Stabilizer or does not wish to install the Mod, a better alternative is moving the mouse down to combat the recoil when firing.

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:
  • The Hind is one of the few Grineer weapons that are not focused on Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage, and instead focused mostly on Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist.. This makes them the least effective gun unit in the Grineer arsenal at taking down shields and punching through armor, while being better equipped against the Infested or Corpus enemies with shields down.
  • In the Warframe community, the Hind is nicknamed as "the Baguette" because of its shape closely resembling a loaf.
