About Gauss
Gauss is built around momentum: moving builds his battery, which powers freezing and explosive abilities. He has the second-fastest sprint of all Warframes, and his signature weapons Acceltra and Akarius reload faster while sprinting.
His main blueprint is a Market purchase, while the Chassis, Systems and Neuroptics blueprints each have a 7.84% chance from Rotation C of Disruption on Kappa, Sedna. Expect several runs to complete the set.
Gauss was added with Update 25.7 (August 2019).
