Description

“This Tenno pistol was devised as a simplified Lex, meant to have a lower bore axis and thus less recoil. Unfortunately, this forced them to chamber it for lower-caliber rounds.

Fortunately, said rounds are explosive.”
Codex

LORE

While powerful, the Lex and Lex Prime had some flaws the Tenno weren’t shy about explaining, such as low rate of fire, and high recoil. The Largo was designed to remedy all of this, using an action derived from various rifles to facilitate an extremely low bore axis. Due to its unique mechanism, the slide only reciprocates on the sides, which leaves the sights - and barrel - unmoving while the pistol fires.

It’s always chambered for explosive rounds. On Ganymede, it’s typically compared to the Hiro gyrojet pistol, questionably favorably. It’s much like the current 9mm vs. 45 debate among gun owners. On the one hand, the Largo’s bullets are faster than the Hiro and it holds more shots. On the other hand, the Hiro fires really, REALLY big bullets the same diameter as the average Ganymedean’s thumb.

Though bizarrely, it actually has more recoil than the Hiro, as it shoots actual bullets as opposed to tiny rockets.

Much like the Grineer Argonak, aiming this weapon releases a “laser painter” that highlights targets at short range. Crits with this weapon are near-guaranteed.

This is an exceptionally accurate, usable, robust, aimable pistol. Much like its ancestor, the Lex, it’s a common sight among civilian populations (Corpus or otherwise) that don’t have the money or tech base for energy weaponry.

The Tenno version comes with a small reflex sight that highlights enemies while scoped. Tap the altfire key to use it!

Unlike most Tenno weapons, they’re not made at Tenno foundries. The best source of Largo pistols is Eisenhorn Armory on Ganymede, located near the base of Chitorr Tower in A Bao A Qu.

Comparisons

This is extremely outclassed by most revolvers I’ve made... if we’re talking headshots. Two sequential headshots from the Depezador will bring it past the Largo’s damage, especially on headshots. The Makina’s headshot damage is ridiculous, the Naga does noticeably more on headshots. If we’re talking body shots, the Largo outclasses them.

The Estampida and Hiro, however, have lower velocity… but much, much higher damage. Especially on headshots.  The Hiro also has a larger blast radius, (which I should buff at some point) and the Estampida’s headshot damage is ridiculous.


Artist Notes

First off: I didn’t want to give it explosive rounds. But the longer I thought about it…. The fewer options I felt like I had.  It was really hard to make this stand out. Probably not helped by the fact it looks more Titanfall than WF.

 I designed it as sort of a lower-damage equivalent to the Lex, and there were a lot of hoops I had to jump through. Has to do less damage on headshots than the Naga (I… don’t know if radial damage from this is included in headshots?), needs to be like a lower-damage Lex, easier to aim, needs to stand out next to the Marelok, Lex, and the Estampida that I made earlier… can’t have a gimmick dependent on headshots because I do that a lot… needs to be user friendly… 

And if I made this just a regular old hitscan pistol, it might feel… boring. Normal, even. I already made a semiauto pistol that loads like a conventional modern-day pistol, with a headshot gimmick and power comparable to some revolvers.

Some of you may be wondering: How would this even work? Why would you draw this so it looks like an upside-down 1911?

And the answer is complicated, but it boils down to: Because it was funny.

To make a long story short, I have a bunch of SLA Industries sourcebooks, one of which has a pistol that looks like a 1911 but almost upside-down save for the pistol grip. I’d been reading up on pistols such as the Laugo Arms Alien and wanted to draw something inspired by it. The Laugo Arms alien, by the way, actually does have a bore axis this low - which opened me up to giving the front of the weapon the same “upside-down-1911” look I saw in some of those SLA Industries sourcebooks.

The real reason the laser painter is there is because I couldn’t decide what else would be there, and I was all like “eh why not.”

It’s honestly a shame I used the name ‘Terminus’ already. This already has a laser sight, it’d be a dope Terminator reference. Then again, more people probably remember the lever-action shotgun than the AMT Hardballer Longslide from the first movie.

Also, Eisenhorn Armory is a reference to, of course, Gregor Eisenhorn from 40k. He has a bolt pistol that loads shells through the pistol grip, and you just gotta ask yourself: HOW BIG ARE HIS HANDS?!

I mean, I’ve seen a shotgun using specialty-made 12-gauge ammo that fits in a pistol grip, but good cripes. Dood must have enormous hands.
