Trivia

• In WARFRAME (China), the Cadus is named 光棍, which can be translated as a whole to Bachelor (光棍), or in parts to Light (光) and Stick (棍). Guānggùn (光棍) is a reference to the Chinese holiday of Singles' Day, the same date the Cadus was released.
• Although the Cadus was not available in the global build prior to Update 30.5 (2021-07-06), it is wielded by the  Trinity{"Sprint":"1","Description":"Trinity embodies redemption and health.

Patch History

Update 31.0 (2021-12-15)

• Removed Tenet Livia, Primary Kitgun beam-based weapons, Cadus, and Volnus Prime from the Conclave.

Hotfix 30.5.3 (2021-07-09)

• Fixed Rivens not being generated for the Cadus.
  • After looking into this issue we saw that some Bo Rivens out in the wild can be equipped on the Cadus. This fixes both the missing Cadus Riven generation AND that some Rivens were generated that could be equipped to both the Bo and Cadus. Please be advised that this fix will correct any existing Bo Riven Mods so that they cannot be equipped on your Cadus.

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

• Introduced.
