Trivia
- The Dex Furis is the first item to be given the Dex prefix.
- During the Tenno Live 2015 panel at PAX East, the developers present confirmed that "Dex" denotes WARFRAME anniversary gifts from the Lotus.
- Unlike Vandal and Wraith variants, the Dex Furis use a unique weapon model when compared to the regular Furis/Afuris.
- The Dex Furis was first awarded to every Tenno who logged in between Update 12.6 (2014-03-26) release March 26 and April 2, 2014, in honor of the first anniversary of WARFRAME on PC. It was released again in Hotfix 16.1.2 (2015-03-25) between March 25 and April 1, 2015, along with the Dex Dakra. They were re-released once again between March 22 and March 29, 2016, alongside the Dex Dakra and Dex Sybaris. All three were available again from March 24, 2017 through March 27, 2017.
- The models are non-static; two hemispheres on both sides of the weapons rotates slowly. They rotate faster when the weapons are fired, and gradually slow down afterward. The magazines are also ejected during reloading.
- The Dex Furis was released again for WARFRAME's Second Anniversary on March 25, 2015. Players who already had a Dex Furis from the previous year would receive a second set. Since the weapon cannot be traded or gifted, the weapon simply lingers in the inventory if the player already has a set from the first anniversary.
- Players can delete their spare to make use of the free weapon slot it came in.
- At the time of its release, the muzzle flash of the Dex Furis was purple and it could not be modified by any means. This was fixed in Update 14.5 (2014-08-28); the muzzle flash can now be modified via Energy color.
- Its muzzle flash consists of a mesh of Lotus sigils arranged to look as such.
- As of Hotfix 18.6.2 (2016-03-22), the muzzle flash appears as the Lotus symbol.
