Notes

• Slide attack does not involve spinning, but rather causes the Warframe to perform a handspring, finishing with a kick that sends enemies flying, ragdolling them.

Trivia

• Obex is Latin for "Barrier".
• If the Melee button is pressed repeatedly as the Obex is being used in a long succession, this generates two spheres of energy around that can last about 5 seconds, depending on how long the user attacks. This process also produces flames in each hand.
• Unlike the Kogake, when equipped on Vauban Vauban the weapon does not clip the mesh on his feet. Instead, it fits his boxy figure flawlessly.

Bugs

• Using the jump attack to knock down an enemy who is in the midst of attempting to initiate a lockdown has a tendency to cause a lockdown to occur immediately.
• When equipped with the Loki Knave Skin, it doesn't appear at all.
