Notes

• The Ripkas requires Tellurium for construction, which is a resource only found on Archwing missions, submersible missions on Uranus, or Alerts.
• The Ripkas require the  Ankyros and  Dual Cleavers weapons to build. The total materials required to fully build this weapon include: 700  Nano Spores, 1,900  Salvage, 1,400  Ferrite, 1,350  Alloy Plate, 2  Tellurium, 1  Forma and 150,000 Credits 150,000.
  • If the Forma was crafted, another 1  Morphics, 1  Neural Sensors, 1  Neurodes, 1  Orokin Cell, and 35,000 Credits 35,000 are added to the total cost.

Trivia

• The Ripkas' Codex description used to be "Motorized saw fists" despite being classified as Claws. This was changed in an unknown update, although several years after the release of the weapon.
  • The  Four Riders stance (which features the Ripkas on its stance card, as it was released alongside the weapon) initially had a second variant that was equippable on Fists; this was promptly removed as a bug. It's possible the Ripkas were originally conceived as Fist weapons before being turned into Claws instead.
• Strangely, the Ripkas require the Tenno-made  Ankyros to craft, rather than the Grineer-made  Furax.
• While and shortly after attacking, the upper part of the Ripkas' blades will give off a flaming halo effect. The color of which is affected by the weapon's energy color.
