*If {{M|Adhesive Blast}} is used, the grenade will fizzle out if it lands within 6m of the player. If landing past 6m it will explode after an ''extremely'' short delay.
**The grenades will also explode upon touching the Cryopod in a [[Defense]] mission, damaging nearby enemies. Note that the Cryopod will also take fifty damage upon doing so.

*The Tonkor's grenade flight trails are affected by the weapon's energy color, but the explosions themselves are a mix of the Tonkors energy color, and your Warframe's energy color.
**If the grenade fails to hit a player or enemy, it will explode one second after the first bounce.
 
***[[Projectile Speed]] affects this length of time.
 
*The Tonkor will only hit an enemy with a direct hit if it hits the player model. This can result in the grenades bouncing between enemy legs.
 
*When holding down the fire key (default {{Key|LMB}}), the Tonkor will display a flashing dotted line that shows the approximate trajectory the grenade will follow when fired. This line will only display the grenade's initial flight path and not any subsequent bounces.
 
*Grenades will come to a complete stop when coming in contact with a body of water. This can turn them into makeshift proximity mines which will only explode when touched or after a few seconds.
 
*Grenades created by Mirage's clones from [[Hall of Mirrors]] that are left over after the ability deactivates will cause damage to user if caught in the blast.

*Punch through can cause the Tonkor's projectiles to pierce enemies (while knocking them down) and thin walls at close range, potentially exploding behind them.
**If the projectile speed is high enough, the grenade will explode on impact with '''any''' surface. The formula is the following:
 
  +
**However, it will also prevent the grenade from exploding on the initial impact at longer ranges.
**Flight Speed (with 100% Ability Strength) = [[Jet Stream]] + [[Terminal Velocity]] = 160%
 
**Flight Speed = [[Jet Stream]] + 160% Ability Strength= 160%
 
**Flight Speed (with 40% Ability Strength at least) = [[Jet Stream]] + [[Terminal Velocity]] + Riven Mod
 
**It is possible to make a Tonkor build on [[Zephyr]] without increasing Ability Strength, however the augment [[Jet Stream]] must be always included in the equation.
 
**[[Jet Stream]] is affected by Ability Strength; when Ability Strength is lower than 100%, then Flight Speed is reduced as well
 
**Tonkor riven disposition is only 1/5, which would give only 60% Flight Speed at its best; so a riven combined with [[Terminal Velocity]] could reach only 120% instead of the required 160%. In conclusion, a Tonkor riven mod with Flight Speed can be used as a substitute of [[Terminal Velocity]], or when Ability Strength is less than 100% (in this case [[Terminal Velocity]] is still required).                                                                 
 
**It is encouraged to always add some margin on top of the required Ability Strength as gravity could slow down the grenade too much, preventing its explosion.
 
*The Tonkor's self-damage property can be used to increase [[Vex Armor]]'s buffs when using [[Chroma]].
 
*It is advised not to use punch through, as it can cause the Tonkor's projectiles to hit enemies without exploding. It also causes the projectiles to bounce/penetrate surfaces unpredictably.
 
*Grenades will immediately explode when impacting the following surfaces, allowing instant high damage to enemies:

;Self Damage Changes:
  +
We are getting rid of Self Damage and replacing it with something else: instead of Self Damage, it’s now ‘Stagger’. This change completely removes the chance of killing yourself, and instead now creates scenarios where you will interrupt yourself - or ‘Stagger’ - to varying degrees if you aren’t careful.
  +
  +
The degrees of Self-Interrupt start with a small stumble all the way to full knockdown depending on how close you are to the center of explosion. Any Mods referring to Self Damage will be converted to acknowledge Stagger.
  +
  +
With this Self-Interrupt system, we have added dozens of new recovery animations that harness a ninja-like recovery experience. By pressing ‘Jump’ at the correct time, you can execute a ninja-skill-based knockdown recovery to ALL in-game knockdowns. This ninja recovery window is indicated by a glowing FX on your Warframe.
  +
  +
In the original Dev Workshop, we said:<br />
  +
''As a result of this overall systemic change, Weapons with Stagger will be getting approximately a 20% buff in Damage, with any weapons with AOE receiving a 50% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact.''
  +
  +
This is no longer accurate after continued testing. What we are doing now is:
  +
  +
No damage buffs have been added, but any weapons with AOE are receiving ~20% increase in Radius. Additionally, AOE weapons are receiving a 90% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact. This means on the very outer section of the explosion Radius 10% of the Damage will be dealt. Tactics will be deadly - aim true, Tenno.
  +
  +
''Why: Several players brought up the history of the Tonkor and we want to make sure we ship this change in a place that’s conservative in its starting point from a balance perspective. The complete removal of Self Damage does change the pace of destruction with some of the game’s most powerful weapons, so we want to make sure we can iterate upwardly instead of releasing a bonanza of explosions with no other choices.''

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

  • Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against Ferrite Armor.
    • Explosion damage cannot be increased by Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage mods.
  • Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from ?m to ?m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
  • Low status chance.
  • Grenades have travel time, heavy arcing, and needs to travel 8m before being explosive.
    • A grenade hitting an enemy without exploding causes much less damage compared to the explosion.
  • Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
    • Minimum travel length of 6 meters before being explosive should prevent accidental self-stagger unless using Mod TT 20px Firestorm/Mod TT 20px Amalgam Furax Body Count or rapidly moving towards the grenade's impact area before it explodes.
  • Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 30% from central impact.
  • Extremely low magazine capacity of just 1 round, requires frequent reloading.
  • Draws from the rare sniper ammo pool.

Notes

  • Has a 5 second fuse when traveling in the air, after which it will fizzle out and no longer explode. This is only prevalent if shooting straight up however, due to the arc the grenades have.
  • Pressing the reload key manually after firing will remove the delay between firing and reloading, slightly speeding up the process.

Tips

  • Projectile Speed modifiers like ZephyrIcon272 Zephyr's Mod TT 20px Jet Stream or Mod TT 20px Terminal Velocity will help increase its launch speed significantly.
  • Punch through can cause the Tonkor's projectiles to pierce enemies (while knocking them down) and thin walls at close range, potentially exploding behind them.
    • However, it will also prevent the grenade from exploding on the initial impact at longer ranges.

Trivia

  • The Grineer text on the side of its barrel Grineer AGrineer NGrineer M translates to "ANM".

Self Damage Changes

We are getting rid of Self Damage and replacing it with something else: instead of Self Damage, it’s now ‘Stagger’. This change completely removes the chance of killing yourself, and instead now creates scenarios where you will interrupt yourself - or ‘Stagger’ - to varying degrees if you aren’t careful.

The degrees of Self-Interrupt start with a small stumble all the way to full knockdown depending on how close you are to the center of explosion. Any Mods referring to Self Damage will be converted to acknowledge Stagger.

With this Self-Interrupt system, we have added dozens of new recovery animations that harness a ninja-like recovery experience. By pressing ‘Jump’ at the correct time, you can execute a ninja-skill-based knockdown recovery to ALL in-game knockdowns. This ninja recovery window is indicated by a glowing FX on your Warframe.

In the original Dev Workshop, we said:
As a result of this overall systemic change, Weapons with Stagger will be getting approximately a 20% buff in Damage, with any weapons with AOE receiving a 50% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact.

This is no longer accurate after continued testing. What we are doing now is:

No damage buffs have been added, but any weapons with AOE are receiving ~20% increase in Radius. Additionally, AOE weapons are receiving a 90% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact. This means on the very outer section of the explosion Radius 10% of the Damage will be dealt. Tactics will be deadly - aim true, Tenno.

Why: Several players brought up the history of the Tonkor and we want to make sure we ship this change in a place that’s conservative in its starting point from a balance perspective. The complete removal of Self Damage does change the pace of destruction with some of the game’s most powerful weapons, so we want to make sure we can iterate upwardly instead of releasing a bonanza of explosions with no other choices.
