    Notes Edit

    • Slide attack does not involve spinning, but rather causes the Warframe to perform a handspring, finishing with a kick that sends enemies flying, ragdolling them.

    Trivia Edit

    • Obex is Latin for "Barrier".
    • If the Melee button is pressed repeatedly as the Obex is being used in a long succession, this generates two spheres of energy around that can last about 5 seconds, depending on how long the user attacks. This process also produces flames in each hand.
    • Unlike the Kogake, when equipped on  Vauban the weapon does not clip the mesh on his feet. Instead, it fits his boxy figure flawlessly.

    Bugs Edit

    • Using the jump attack to knock down an enemy who is in the midst of attempting to initiate a lockdown has a tendency to cause a lockdown to occur immediately.
    • When equipped with the Loki Knave Skin, it doesn't appear at all.
