- The Spira Prime was unintentionally leaked in the Codex following Hotfix 18.4.7 (2016-02-04).
- The drill tip on the Spira Prime spins, making it the only throwing knife secondary with a non-static animated model.
- "Spira" is the Latin word for "spiral" or "coil". The weapon is named this way due to its spinning tips.
