Trivia[]

  • Bears a close resemblance to medieval Flails.
  • The head's blades open up if the blocking button is pressed while the Atterax is equipped, and fold inside again after one strike. It is unknown if this is beneficial to its stats in any way.
  • The Grineer writing on both the handguard and hilt, while very hard to make out, seems to say "Grineer MGrineer EGrineer AGrineer T   Grineer BGrineer LGrineer EGrineer NGrineer DGrineer EGrineer R" which translates to "MEAT BLENDER".
  • This weapon seems to share a base color scheme with Executioner Harkonar, which implies that this is one of the weapons produced in the Harkonar Production Zone as stated in Executioner Harkonar's Codex Entry.
  • Darvo uses the Atterax for plumbing.
