Trivia

• Despite Prisma weapons typically having improved attributes, the Prisma Machete's stats were identical to that of the regular Machete. In Update 26.0, over two years after Warframe China was discontinued, the Prisma Machete was included in the patch notes where it was given updated and unique stats. Despite this, it has yet to be released in the global build.
