Trivia

 * After Limbo, Mesa is the second Warframe whose main blueprint sells for, rather than the standard .
 * Mesa was first revealed in Devstream 41, when Art Director Mike "Mynki" Brennan displayed her concept art.
 * According to Brennan her default helmet is actually blindfolded, as she enjoys a challenge during fights.
 * With her gunslinger theme, Mesa's name is most likely a reference to the land formation of the same name which is common in the Western and Southwestern United States.
 * The word mesa is the Spanish and Portuguese word for "table"; the mesa land formation is an elevated area of land with a flat top.
 * Mesa could also be a reference to a planet in the Honor Harrington series of novels, whose inhabitants are known to practice illegal genetic engineering. This has parallels to the Warframe nearly being a part of Alad V's own experiments.
 * Mesa is the second Warframe to naturally come with built-in weapons, in this case the two Regulator pistols she uses when casting Peacekeeper. The first Warframe with built-in weapons was Ash and his hidden blades, which are utilized when he casts Blade Storm.


 * The firing hammers for Mesa's Regulator pistols are mounted on her thumbs.
 * Mesa's Regulator pistols are colored through the color selection of the Attachments tab, rather than the main Warframe color selection.
 * Mesa was first constructed under name Cowgirl. (datamined, /Lotus/StoreItems/Powersuits/Cowgirl)
