CODEX

Hurl mayhem and destruction with this Grineer grenade launcher.

The Tonkor is a Grineer grenade launcher which fires concussion explosives that explode on impact after travelling a distance of 7 meters, while also boasting high critical chance and critical multiplier.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:

• Innate damage – effective against Machinery and Fossilized.
  • Physical contact with grenades deal damage.
• High critical chance and critical multiplier.
• Grenades explode in a 7 meter radius after impacting a surface or enemy.
  • Grenades have a minimum arming distance of 8 meters, mitigating self-stagger.
  • Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
• Direct hits cause knockdown, whether or not the grenade explodes.
• Pinpoint accuracy.
• Fairly fast reload speed.
• Can use the Tonkor-exclusive  Precision Strike mod, and the launcher-exclusive  Adhesive Blast mod.
• Can benefit from  Firestorm ( Primed),  Cautious Shot, and  Amalgam Furax Body Count.
• Can use  Sniper Ammo Mutation. This is the only Sniper-specific mod it is allowed.

Disadvantages:

• Innate damage – less effective against Ferrite Armor.
  • Explosion damage cannot be increased by , or damage mods.
• 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  Firestorm/ 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.

Comparisons:

•  Tonkor (Grenade Explosion), compared to  Kuva Tonkor (Grenade Explosion):
  • Lower base damage per projectile (650.00 vs. 674.00) (excluding any Progenitor bonus)
    • Lower  Puncture damage ( 0 vs. 168)
    • Lower  Slash damage ( 0 vs. 204)
    • Higher  Blast damage ( 650 vs. 302)
  • Lower total damage (using max +60% Progenitor bonus if applicable) (650 vs. 1,078.4)
  • Lower base critical chance (25.00% vs. 30.00%)
  • Lower base status chance (10.00% vs. 17.00%)
  • Lower average damage per tap (using max +60% Progenitor bonus if applicable) (893.75 vs. 1563.68)
  • Lower burst DPS (using max +60% Progenitor bonus if applicable) (525.73 vs. 1042.45)
  • Lower sustained DPS (using max +60% Progenitor bonus if applicable) (443.44 vs. 861.31)
  • Slower reload time (1.70 s vs. 1.50 s)
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (5 vs. 13)
  • Higher disposition (●●●●○ (1.30x) vs. ●●●○○ (0.90x))

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.
• If  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 Tonkor's explosion effects are a mix of the Tonkor's energy color, and your Warframe's energy color.

Tips

• Projectile Speed modifiers like  Zephyr's  Jet Stream or  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 translates to "ANM".
  • Previous design concepts show ("ALL"). ^[1]
• The Tonkor's break-action, single shot design is derived from the M79 grenade launcher.
• Prior to Update 24.2, the Tonkor had a magazine size of 2, despite the reload animation showing only one grenade being loaded. After it was reduced to 1 grenade per magazine, the reload animation became accurate.
  • Also prior to this update, the Tonkor used to have a visual trajectory arc that would be displayed before firing the grenade.
• Adding punch through and firing at a close range surface will cause two grenades (regardless of multishot) to appear and fizzle out, despite the actual projectile(s) continuing through the surface.
• Previously, the Tonkor was able to launch teammates into the air, and could even move them around while they were channeling stasis-related abilities ( Mesa's  Peacemaker,  Nyx's  Absorb, etc.). This was removed to discourage griefing and exploits.
  • The Tonkor could also knock  Hydroid out of  Undertow and would damage a friendly  Rhino's  Iron Skin.

Patch History

Hotfix 29.5.5 (2020-11-27)

• Fixed Tonkor requiring an Orokin Catalyst instead of an Exilus Adapter to unlock the Exilus slot.

Hotfix 27.3.13 (2020-04-14)

• Fixed Tonkor projectiles colliding with themselves when Multishot is used, causing them to instantly stagger players when fired during certain movements

Hotfix 27.2.2 (2020-03-06)
Reduced the following AoE weapons Radial Damage Falloff from central impact that were all previously 90%:

• Tonkor: 70%

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

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.
