The Gazal Machete is a unique melee weapon that serves as a companion weapon to the Djinn sentinel. Each enemy killed will add potential 
Corrosive damage to Djinn's radial corrosive blast, and each consecutive cast of 
Fatal Attraction will buff the Gazal Machete with additional corrosive damage for a short period of time.
The Gazal Machete was added into the game in Update: The Vacuum Within. The blueprint is available through clan research in the Tenno Lab.
