Trivia

• The Lato was originally intended to fit in more with the other wood and metal aesthetic Tenno weapons have, its original design can seen be seen in this concept art (top right). The  Lato Prime is still based on that old design.
  • Additionally the Lato was visually reworked in Update 19 and its default skin changed from black and metal grey to the black white red color scheme of Excalibur.
• This weapon is used by the Grineer Lancers in Vor's Prize as a low damage alternative to the  Grakatas they normally wield. It is also used by them in Mastery Rank Promotion Tests. 
• The Lato received a buff to its damage and critical stats in Update 14.0 (2014-07-18) to bring it in line with the new MK1 weapons. The  Aklato however did not receive this buff until Update 15.16 (2015-02-25).
• It was seen in the Dark Sector original concept video.
• Though the word Lato has a variety of meanings in different languages, the usage here may be in Italian where it means "side", a nod to the weapon itself being a sidearm.
