Transform the battlefield into a weapon with this gilded tactician. Features unique mod polarities for extended customization

"Lust was my sin. But greed is the blight that weakens our steel. These industrialists have gorged on the harvest of our long war. Their mind drones; Their mechanizations, toil in foundries remote. For what purpose? We must set watch upon them. Baiting our snares with the worms of profit.

Those kneeling at the altar of commerce will be returned.. to the Void.

For your consideration... Vauban."

—Ballas

  • Higher Shields (100/300 vs. 75/225)
  • Higher Armor (100 vs. 50)
  • Different Polarities ( vs. )
• As a Prime Warframe, Vauban Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
• Vauban Prime's  Bastille has a swirling void energy compared to the normal version.​​​​​
• 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 is the only Prime Warframe with all parts being rare drops, making it one of the hardest to obtain in addition to the high cost.

Trivia

• 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.
