Trivia[]
- The Prova Vandal was first introduced as a potential reward from The Gradivus Dilemma event if the conflict favored the Corpus. However, the Grineer won the event, and as such the Prova Vandal was not rewarded.
- Although it was never distributed in the game at the time, information about it existed in the Codex.
- The Prova Vandal was a reward again during the Operation Breeding Grounds event if players could obtain 48 points in a single mission, complete with a free weapon slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
- Prova Vandal is the first Vandal melee weapon to be released.
