Trivia
- In Greek mythology, Atlas was the Titan who held up the sky, typically portrayed carrying a large celestial sphere upon his shoulders. Other aspects of Atlas' design are similarly inspired by Greek myth.
- Atlas' Petrify ability is a tribute to the Gorgon Medusa through which the Titan met his demise. The hero Perseus, who slayed Medusa, would use her severed head to turn many of his adversaries to stone, including Atlas who was transformed into a range of mountains.
- Atlas' passive immunity to knockdowns while grounded is inspired by the giant Antaeus who would challenge opponents to wrestling matches and was invincible as long as he was in contact with the ground.
- Atlas was originally developed under the name Brawler and is still referred to as as such internally in the game files.
- Atlas has the third highest base armor rating of all Warframes at 450, surpassed by Valkyr's 600 and Valkyr Prime's 700.
- Not counting the Aura slot, Atlas is the first non-prime Warframe, and still one of only a few, to start out with three polarized mod slots.
- Atlas is the second Warframe to not include an alternate helmet on initial release, following Oberon.
- Atlas' appearance seems to be inspired by a chivalrous knight with a greathelm.
- Atlas has the lowest Sprint Speed of all Warframes.
