*There is a statue of Excalibur Prime inside the Orokin Vaults on Deimos, and one of the Lua Spy vaults.
**Interestingly, at the start of  Excalibur Prime was given a short-lived full body skin called "Alabaster", which was explained by Digital Extremes as a test skin that was released by mistake. The skin's texture was similar to said Vault statues.

*When he was released, it was widely believed that Excalibur Prime had a slightly higher shield recharge rate compared to the non-prime variant.
**While the existence of this feature can neither be confirmed, nor denied, Excalibur Prime currently does not possess this stat change.
*Much like how  gave the standard Excalibur an ethereal  when using his abilities, Excalibur Prime uses an ethereal  with his abilities, which was also added in the same update.
*On the Chinese build of Warframe, Excalibur Umbra Prime serves as a stand-in for Excalibur Prime.
