Acquisition

It originally had no rank restriction, so anyone who logged in during the Closed Beta could acquire it, regardless of time spent playing the game.

After the game entered Open Beta, Lato Vandal was unobtainable until Update 22.18 (2018-04-20), in which it was added as a reward in Elite Sanctuary Onslaught, a game mode introduced in that update. All the parts can be traded, although players must have a Mastery Rank of at least 7 to acquire the blueprint.

Tips

The Lato Vandal has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it a prime candidate for a Desecrating Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.

Trivia

As mentioned above, the Lato Vandal was originally rewarded to players who participated in WARFRAME's Closed Beta period, as a then-exclusive gift from DE as detailed in this blog post. This made it a surefire way of distinguishing players who played WARFRAME since the beginning.
Prior to Update 22, the Lato Vandal had limited customization options, wherein the selected color would be combined with the existing Vandal colors.
