Lore

Main article: Leverian#Gauss
Ah, Gauss. Where to begin, where to begin... Well, the Ceres excavation of course. The site of the ancient tower of Altra.

Blastcrete emplacements, air sentries... its fields saturated with tremor mines. A great fortress for the Great Lords of Ceres... until they were pitched from the roof, immortal bodies erupting on the dread mines below.

An insurgency, from within. The Dax sent to reclaim Altra fared no better. Those that ran the gauntlet of bore-guns were soon cindered in the field beyond... That's when they called in our fleet-footed friend here.

Altra was an ancient tower fortress on Ceres owned by the Orokin. An insurgency occurred there and the Orokin demanded its recapture. However, the tower's defenses proved to be impenetrable to the Dax batallion.

Gauss was then called in to quell the insurgency. With his immense speed, he blitzed through the minefield and into the tower and was able to reclaim it. His victory earned him the title: The Saint of Altra.

Gauss. Front edge: smooth heat-resistant composites. Trailing edges: streamlined, foiled, this particular one vaguely warped by extreme heat stress.

The Saint of Altra. If the mind wanders, what do you see?

I see a vivid Lord-like Festival, the tremor mines bursting in a blinding wave, rising toward Altra. And Gauss - a smear of light, just ahead of the thermal avalanche - fast as fire. No... faster.

Notes

Trivia

  • Gauss is named after Carl Friedrich Gauß, the German mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to many fields in mathematics and sciences, most notably in Electromagnetism, Differential Geometry, Algebra, and Statistics.
  • The term Redline is an automotive term that refers to the maximum revolutions-per-minute (RPM) that an engine is designed to withstand without damaging its own components. It can also be used as a verb to refer to running an engine at or beyond its maximum safe RPM (e.g. "to redline").
  • The name of the Gauss Mag Helmet, his alternate helmet, is a deliberate reversal of one of MagIcon272 Mag's alternate helmets, the Mag Gauss Helmet.
  • Gauss is the 41st unique Warframe to be released.
  • Unlike several other Warframes that require exclusive resources from only one of the Landscapes, Gauss's Chassis and Systems require resources from Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis, respectively.
  • Gauss is the first Warframe whose component blueprints are acquired from Disruption.
  • Gauss is the first Warframe to be featured in the Leverian.
    • The Leverian displays Gauss's airfoil system as a separate part.
    • The Nightwave act "Patron", in which the player must donate to the Leverian, features Gauss as its icon.
  • Gauss was planned to be released simultaneously with his best friend GrendelIcon272 Grendel, but the latter required more time for development. As a nod to their friendship, Grendel appears in Gauss's profile video riding a K-Drive while Gauss sprints beside him. Gauss also appears in Grendel's profile video to receive benefits from Nourish130xWhite Nourish and a mention in Grendel's Leverian exhibit.
  • Gauss is the fourth Warframe to use another type of ability resource besides Energy, after NidusIcon272 Nidus, BaruukIcon272 Baruuk, and HildrynIcon272 Hildryn. In Gauss' case, he uses his Electrokinetic Battery.
    • However, unlike the other Warframes, all of Gauss's Abilities still require energy to activate.
  • In Gauss's profile video, Lotus pronounces his name as "goss" (/ɡɔs/, to rhyme with "moss"), as opposed to the usual pronunciation of "gouse" (/ɡaʊs/, to rhyme with "house"). Unlike TitaniaIcon272 Titania this pronunciation choice is inconsistent as Drusus uses the latter option.

Passive

To achieve supersonic speed, GaussIcon272 Gauss draws upon both his Energy reserves and his state-of-the-art electrokinetic battery to fuel his abilities. Gauss has access to 80% of the battery in his default state; activating Redline130xWhite Redline grants access to 100% of the battery. The battery, displayed as a gauge meter above his ability icons, acts as a secondary resource that charges or drains depending on the ability he uses:

Passive

  • +~0.5% battery per meter as Gauss moves.
  • +?% battery per second while reviving an ally in Bleedout.
  • -3% battery if Gauss falls out of bounds.
  • -15% battery per second if Gauss stands in a Nullifier Crewman bubble.

MachRush130xWhite Mach Rush

  • +10% battery on cast.
  • +1% battery per enemy hit.

KineticPlating130xWhite Kinetic Plating

  • -1% battery per second while active.
  • -1%-5% battery per hit received.
  • +0.25% battery per melee hit to enemies.

ThermalSunder130xWhite Thermal Sunder

  • +10% battery on casting DmgColdSmall64 Cold.
  • -10% battery on casting DmgFireSmall64 Heat.

Redline130xWhite Redline

  • -2% battery per second while below 100% on the counter.
  • After Redline expires, the battery drains to the amount displayed on Redline counter (e.g. if the counter is at 20%, the battery will decrease to 20%).

The amount of battery stored amplifies Gauss's abilities:

  • Gauss passively gains bonus Shield recharge rate and shield recharge delay reduction for every point of battery stored in his gauge, up to a maximum of 120% for recharge rate and 80% for recharge delay when the battery is full.
  • Affects the damage reduction of KineticPlating130xWhite Kinetic Plating.
  • Affects the damage and status duration of ThermalSunder130xWhite Thermal Sunder.
  • Affects the fire rate, attack speed, reload speed, and casting speed bonuses, as well as the Redline counter and projectiles fired when above 80% battery, of Redline130xWhite Redline.
    • Additionally procs special effects of Thermal Sunder when above 80% battery and while Redline is active.

Base vs Final Stats in Modding - Health / Energy / Shield / Armor Stat Overhaul

If you’ve spent any time invested in the deeper nuances of Modding, you may be familiar with “Warframe Math” - math that upon first glance doesn’t really make sense, but once you learn the inner workings of the game, it all comes together. While we can appreciate the value that complex systems offer to a certain subsect of players, there are other aspects of the game that should have clear and understandable outcomes. Namely: Shield, Health, Energy, and Armor Modding.

Pop quiz: what is 300 + 440%? If you answered 740, you may just be an Excalibur player.

Vitality (+440% Heath), Redirection (+440% Shields), Flow (+150% Energy), and Steel Fiber (+110% Armor) come with large modifier values that don’t seem to match their outcome in-game. This is because these Mods apply their multiplier to the base stats of the Warframe - i.e., the stats you have at Rank 0. In the Excalibur example, a Rank 30 Excalibur’s Health stat of 300 earns an additional 440 Health from max rank Vitality (+440% Heath) since it applies to his base rank Health stat of 100, resulting in 740 total health.

In this update, we have removed this obfuscation by having Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods apply to the stats of Warframes at their current rank. Continuing our Excalibur example, instead of Vitality always applying to Excalibur’s base rank 100 Health, it would apply to his Health stat based on his rank - namely, the stat you can actually see in your Arsenal. If your Excalibur were Rank 30, his Health stat would be 300, which means Vitality’s multiplier would be calculated off of 300.

With previous Health and Mod values, additional adjustments are needed to make this revision work while maintaining game balance. By only changing where the multiplier applies, a Rank 30 Excalibur would receive an extra 1,320 Health from max rank Vitality, resulting in a total health stat of 1,600. This outcome is a significant buff, which is not the intention of this system change.

To remedy this, we approached this problem in two ways:

1 - We reduced the overall multiplier for Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods.
Since these now affect Max Rank Warframe stats, these Mods need to scale differently to maintain the status quo. Additionally, we wanted these new values to be as clear and understandable to all players as possible! Here are a few examples of these value changes:

  • Vitality: Reduced from +440% to +100% Health
  • Redirection: Reduced from +440% to +100% Shield Capacity
  • Steel Fiber: Reduced from +110% to +100% Armor
  • Flow: Reduced from +150% to +100% Energy Max

Note: These are not all of the Mods affected by this change. We share the comprehensive list further down in this section of the update notes.

Doing some quick math, this means that a Rank 30 Excalibur (300 Health) with a reworked Vitality Mod (+100% Health, applied to the final Health stat) would receive 300 extra Health, for a total of 600. That, in contrast, is a nerf, which we also don’t want to do.

So, our next step:

2 - We adjusted Warframe Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor values to keep the end result of the revised Mods as close to the original values as possible.

With this change, Excalibur’s Rank 30 Health stat is 370. With +100% Health from a max Vitality Mod, his resulting Health stat would be 740, which matches what it was originally.

While this path to the same result may seem a little complicated, the outcome matches our intention: we want players to be able to look at their Health, Shield, and Armor Mods, and be able to understand how they affect the stats they see in their Arsenal.

In addition to everything above, we also increased the base stat values for Warframes so that these revised Mods offer similar value for lower-ranked Frames. To do so, we reduced the amount of Health/Shield/Energy that Warframes earn per rank in half, and transferred the sum of that value to their base stats.

For Armor, this is the one stat that does not increase with your Warframe’s level (with some exceptions). Armor values across the board have been slightly increased to compensate for the Mod changes.

Not to beat a dead Kaithe, but Mods will now be applying to the Max Rank stat instead of the Base Rank. You may look at these numbers and think “nerf” or “buff” depending, but the outcome is that total Modded values are the same, if not a little higher in some cases.

Warframe Stat Changes:

GAUSS
Health: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Shields: Base Rank - 455 (from 150) / Max Rank - 555 (from 450)
Armor: Base Rank - 185 (from 175)
Energy: Base Rank - 175 (from 150) / Max Rank - 225 (from 225)

While there may be significant changes to Warframe Stats and Mod values as a part of this overhaul, the end result is that your Builds should mostly stay the same. The key difference is the added clarity of what your Health / Shield / Energy / Armor Mods do in your Upgrade screens!

    • Why: The conversation surrounding Arcane Guardian led to a significant review of Armor stats on Warfarmes. The Majority of Warframes received an increase in the Armor stat to increase survivability. Compounded with Shield Gating and the numerous other changes covered, we expect a much more fair feeling playing field for all Warframes.
  • Fixed texture tiling issue with Gauss’ Redline FX.

Hotfix 25.8.1 (2019-10-09)

  • Added 2 new tips regarding Gauss' Abilities.
  • Improved visibility during Mach Rush and reduced camera shakes during longer jogs.

Update 25.8 (2019-10-01)
Gauss Changes & Fixes:

Passive:

  • Increased Shield regeneration speed buff from 80% to 120% max.
  • Increased Battery charge rate from moving by 25%. Going from 0% to 100% at full (unmodded) sprint now takes 20s vs 25s previously.
  • Battery will no longer drain during the Sanctuary Onslaught Zone teleport.
  • Gauss Spectres will start with 80% battery.
  • Fixed battery gain not taking vertical velocity into account.

Mach Rush:

  • Now grants 1% Battery charge per enemy hit during the dash.
  • Increased Battery charge rate during continuous run by 33%.
  • Can now jump from ground while running (cannot jump in air) without cancelling the dash.
  • Added small synergy with Thermal Sunder; running through a bubble will add its damage to your dash and impact burst.
  • Fixed the ability screen showing "distance per energy" and unintentionally applying both Efficiency and Duration under the hood, resulting in Energy drain not matching the UI when you had Duration Mods. Changed Energy per meter stat into Energy per second: unmodded Energy drain remains the same, and while speed Mods previously increased Energy drain (more distance covered), they now no longer do. Thus, Energy drain will be either the same or better than before, never worse.

Kinetic Plating:

  • Decreased Battery drain from damage by 33%.
  • While active, Melee weapon hits will grant a small amount of Battery charge.

Thermal Sunder:

  • Increased bubble Duration from 4/6/8/10 to 6/9/12/15.
  • Increased minimum radius from 33% max to 50% max.
  • Split damage into two stats for Cold vs Heat. Increased damage for Heat mode by 2x.
  • Removed Blast damage stat, the Blast will use the damage of the mode you are applying (Cold or Heat) + the additional damage for cancelling the Status.
  • Blast Armor removal increased from 0-50% to 0-100%.
  • Blast Armor removal will now apply before the Blast damage is dealt, causing it to be more effective.

Redline:

  • Increased Redline % gain rate by 33%.
  • Increased projectile seek chance from 33% to 50%.
  • Decreased passive Battery drain by 33%.

General:

  • Added new sounds to Gauss when his Redline is filled and when it has been exceeded!
  • Fixed aimglide applying while holding aim with sword alone during Gauss Mach Rush, allowing you to become Zephyr.
  • Fixed jumping while using Gauss Mach Rush across water giving you no height, resulting in you getting wet.
  • Fixed Slash Status Effects dealing full damage to Gauss while Kinetic Plating is active. Status damage will be determined by current damage reduction at the time the Status occurs.

  • Fixed firing Exergis at the right time as Gauss’ Redline is activated causing you to be able to fire it continuously without needing to reload.
  • Fixed not being able to Gauss Mach Rush across the coolant in Orb Vallis Captura Scene.

Hotfix 25.7.3.1 (2019-09-03)

  • Fixed Gauss Kinetic Plating not giving the minimum damage protection when his meter is completely empty.

Hotfix 25.7.2 (2019-08-30)

  • Fixed a script error when casting Gauss’ Kinetic Plating ability.
  • Fixed your camera flipping upside down when achieving ludicrous Gauss Mach Rush speed with maxed Field of View.
