Trivia[]
- Though the Machete was removed from the market in Update 10.3 (2013-10-09), its blueprint was temporarily awarded to players who logged into Warframe between July 9 and July 16, 2014 as a special gift for the delay in completing Update 14.0 (2014-07-18). It was also released as a reward for the Tactical Alert "One Thousand Cuts".
- The Machete's glowing blade is believed to stem from a super-heated surface. This is true of some other Grineer melee weapons, including the Dual Cleavers.
