Notes[]
- Vauban Prime, compared to
Vauban:
- As with any other Prime Warframe, moving close to the location of an Orokin Void Death Orb will restore a pulse of 250 Energy to nearby allies, even if that Death Orb is inactive, destroyed, or non-present. This effect can only occur once per orb.
- Vauban Prime requires the most
Alloy Plates of any Warframe, tied with
Trinity Prime for the most
Cryotic of any Warframe, and the most
Oxium,
Nitain Extract and
Rubedo used to build any item. - Vauban Prime's
Bastille has a swirling void energy compared to the normal version.
Trivia[]
- Vauban Prime is the second prime Warframe introduced via a cinematic lore video, the first being
Saryn Prime. - Vauban Prime's release in Update 18.12 (2016-05-17) occurred exactly 3 years after the original Vauban's release in Update 7.11 (2013-05-17), both falling on May 17th.
- Vauban Prime has an inscription on each leg that says "Evolution" in the Tenno Language.
- Vauban Prime's signature Citadella Prime Syandana is based on the fortresses designed by his namesake, specifically the Citadel of Lille in the north of France.
