Description
Take charge with the Saint of Altra. Gauss is fast, deals high damage, and has strong survivability. Movement charges his powerful battery, so never stop moving.
Passive
Moving generates an electrical current that fills Gauss' battery. Shields recharge up to 120% faster while the Recharge Delay is up to 80% shorter, based on the battery level.

CODEX

Never stop moving. Gauss' battery is charged by movement, powering his devastating kinetic abilities. They can't kill what they can't hit.

Charging his abilities with every step, he's streamlined for speed. This is Gauss, the runner, the rapid.

If the battle seems out of control, Tenno, you're not going fast enough.

Release Date: The Last Week of August

Engines ready for ignition. Coolant circulation systems online. Revved into kinetic overdrive, the speedster Gauss leaves his competition amidst the dust. Accelerate and race across vast landscapes or seas. Recharge power from hostile strikes and reduce the force of their impact. Flash-freeze enemies dead in their tracks, then spontaneously combust his foes, as he paves the path to a swift victory. Gauss is an unreleased Warframe.

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 name "Gauss" is pronounced similarly to English words such as "mouse" and "house" as can be heard here.
  • Numerous of DE staff have mispronounced the name as "Goss" on several livestreams.  It is unknown whether this is due to honest mistake or it is intentional.
• The term "Redline" is an automative 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 Gauss Mag Helmet, his alternate helmet, is a reverse of one of  Mag's alternate helmets, Mag Gauss Helmet.
