The popular character Vauban in the game Warframe is set to receive significant updates, including enhancements to his abilities and a brand-new skin. These changes will go live on February 11, 2024, providing long-awaited improvements for fans who feel Vauban has not kept pace with the game’s evolving meta.
Vauban, once a staple in the game’s earlier content, particularly the now-retired Raids, has struggled to maintain relevance in recent updates. The upcoming retouch aims to reinvigorate his abilities, making him a more viable option for players.
New and Improved Abilities
The first major change involves Vauban’s passive ability, which will now grant him a damage boost of 1.25 times against incapacitated enemies. This adjustment is designed to enhance his effectiveness in combat scenarios. Additionally, enemies affected by the Electricity Status Effects from his ability Tesla Nervos will also receive bonus damage thanks to this passive enhancement.
One of the standout features of Vauban’s updated kit is the introduction of a roller drone that will attach itself to enemies. This drone will deliver bursts of arcing electricity, providing a strategic advantage in battle.
Augmentation Options and Tactical Flexibility
Vauban’s abilities will also include new augmentations. The Tesla Bank augment allows players to cycle through two deployable mines, introducing tactical options such as the Tether-Flechette Orb and the Vector-Overdrive Pad. These options can significantly alter the dynamics of a battlefield by controlling enemy movements.
Another notable augment is the Photon Repeater, which creates a containment field to capture enemies and suspend them in stasis, stripping away their armor. Players can also hold this ability to collapse all Bastilles into a single damaging vortex, increasing Vauban’s crowd control capabilities.
With these changes, players can expect a more engaging experience with Vauban, as his kit will not only be more competitive but also offer enhanced versatility in various gameplay scenarios.
As the February 11 launch date approaches, players are encouraged to keep an eye on official announcements for any last-minute tweaks or adjustments to Vauban’s abilities. The community eagerly anticipates how these updates will reshape gameplay and revive interest in this historically significant character.
