Trivia
- The Spira Prime was originally released in July 2015 on the Chinese build of Warframe, along with Excalibur Umbra Prime and Nikana Prime.
- 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.
Bugs
- Equipping the Day of the Dead skin on Spira Prime doesn't affect the projectile model and resets its colors to default, although the trace has the set custom energy color.
