CODEX

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

Release Date: May 17th, 2016

Notes

• Vauban Prime, compared to  Vauban:
  • Higher Shields (270/370 vs. 180/280)
  • Higher Armor (210 vs. 160)
  • Additional Polarity ( vs. )
• 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'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.
