Bugs

 * When viewing the in-game profile, Garuda's Noble Animation Set makes her left talon to go through the back of the Operator's head.
 * In the orbiter, Garuda's Noble Animation Set also makes her Talons produce large upside-down reflections on the distant floor behind her while she is standing still. This might also be the case for other Animation Sets but the resulted reflection is probably not in a visible place.
 * While holding the Quanta or Mutalist Quanta, Garuda's Noble Animation Set makes the lower arm of the rifle clip into her left thigh.

Trivia

 * Garuda is the 37th Warframe to be released (excluding Primed and Umbra variants).
 * Garuda is a legendary bird-like creature in Hindu mythology who serves as Vishnu's mount. Garuda also has ties to Buddhist and Jain mythology.
 * Garuda was first revealed at TennoCon 2018 alongside Revenant.
 * Garuda's abilities & model was showcased on Devstream 118.
 * Mentioned to be similar to Valkyr in her theme of "gore", though where Valkyr is basic, unbridled rage, Garuda personifies a cold, detached, and calculated version of slaughter instead.
 * Garuda's alternate helmet "Bathory" is a nod towards Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian Noblewoman held accountable for the deaths of many young women and, in some stories, bathed in their blood to keep her beauty and/or youth. Elizabeth Bathory is often compared to Vlad the Impaler for their brutal acts of sadism.
 * Garuda's main blueprint is not actually a reward for Vox Solaris quest. The official reward for the quest is a K-Drive Launcher, while Garuda's main blueprint is sent from Eudico via a message. It is said to be found embedded in a tangle of Vallis fungi years ago, implying that it is not just recently recovered but unbeknownst to the Tenno.
 * Unlike Gara, who is also tied to Landscape introduced simultaneously, Garuda doesn't require any resource from Servofish.
 * Furthermore, Garuda requires 2 of Vega Toroids, Calda Toroids and Sola Toroids each, making her considerably more resource-extensive than Gara.
