Trivia[]
- Prisma Machete used to be exclusive to WARFRAME (China).
- Despite Prisma weapons typically having improved attributes, the Prisma Machete's stats were identical to that of the regular
Machete. In Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), over two years after WARFRAME China was discontinued on the PS4, the Prisma Machete was included in the patch notes where it was updated with unique stats. However, another 20 months passed after the aforementioned patch before the weapon was first available in the global build.
- Interestingly when it was released, it appeared in Codex in the 2021-06-10 Hotfix before Baro Ki'Teer showed up with it on 2021-07-02.
