Machete

The Machete is a Grineer melee weapon released in Update 8, and it can be seen in the hands of Grineer Scorpions. The Machete was removed from the market as of Update 10.3.0 but its blueprint was temporarily awarded to players who logged into Warframe between July 9th and July 16th 2014 as a special gift for the delay in completing Update 14.
