Signature Weapons are particular weapons associated with a specific Warframe or Companion, benefiting various advantages when wielded by its related character.
As of Update 24.6 (2019-04-04), Signature Weapons started to gain their own bonuses; before only the design and lore were related to their respective owner. The synergy varies from weapon to weapon and includes either a flat stat bonus (such as a flat Status Chance) or a new unique effect.

Notes
- Signature Weapons are also available in the market as part of their respective Warframe's Collection bundle including said Warframe and all the weapons associated. However, do note that not all Warframes having a Signature Weapon have their own Collection bundle. The Nidus Collection is the only exception as the weapons included aren't known to be his "Signatures".
- Unless stated otherwise, weapons featured in a Warframe's Leverian aren't known to be their "Signatures".
- With the exception of Euphona Prime and Tekko Prime, Prime Weapons released with a Prime Warframe in Prime Access aren't known to be their "Signatures".
- Exalted Weapons are not considered Signature Weapons.
Trivia
- Although not explicitly labeled as Signature, Djinn's interaction with the Gazal Machete was the first synergy Buff related to equipping two items together.
- Signature Buffs related to Warframes and their Signature Weapons were introduced first with Baruuk, then Hildryn, before being extended to previously released Signature Weapons in Update 24.6 (2019-04-04).
- Gara is the first frame to have a full signature weapon set, having a primary, secondary, and melee.
- Several major NPCs in the lore are known to have their own Signature Weapon such as:
- Captain Vor : Seer and Cronus,
- Clem : Twin Grakatas,
- Stalker : Dread, Despair, and Hate,
- Shadow Stalker : War,
- Grineer Elder Queen : Broken Scepter,
- Teshin : Orvius,
