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 (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 given updated and unique stats. Despite this, it was actually released almost two years after the aforementioned patch notes.
- 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.
