Sheev

"Tenno, You have gone above and beyond. The Grineer are on the defense. Their supply of void keys is dwindling. To recognize your sacrifice I am giving you this weapon. Use it to defend the balance."

- The Lotus

The Sheev is a unique dagger originally featured as a reward in the Operation Gate Crash event and later as a buildable sortie reward. Players had to finish the Gate Crash node five times on each planet, for a total of 15 times or collect all parts from the sortie reward pool to obtain it.

Trivia

 * The weapon's name is likely derived from shiv, a slang term referring to improvised blade weapons, most commonly used as knives or daggers.
 * Interestingly, the Sheev's blade shape is based on some combat knife designs, justifying its Codex entry's description.
 * While the Sheev shares the same jump attack properties as the Heat Dagger, the former does not have the latter's circle of flame visual effect.
 * The glowing "plasma" at the end of the weapon pulses. This 'plasma' appears similar to the 'plasma' at the edges of Grineer cleavers and machetes.
 * Concept art for this weapon was first featured in Livestream 15.
 * Although the description claims it is effective against flesh and armor, it has little Puncture damage that would allow it to be good against armor.

Bugs

 * Sheev components from Sorties currently cannot be traded.
