Lines from the official update notes that mention this entry.

  1. Update 41.1: Vauban Heirloom
    • ChangedVortex’s duration is increased by 70% of its Maximum Duration for each additional Vortex thrown into it. (unchanged)
  2. The Seven Crimes of Kullervo: Hotfix 33.5.3
    • FixedFixed moving in slow motion after interacting with ally slowing effects (like Vauban’s Vortex and/or Zephyr’s Tornado) while Overguard is active.
  3. Veilbreaker: Hotfix 32.0.5
    • ChangedReduced the amount of Vortex VFX from stacking when casting Vauban’s Bastille into the same spot.
  4. Veilbreaker: Update 32
    • ChangedNow creates a mini-vortex when casting, which gathers enemies in front of Mag. Polarize Shards on the ground will also be Pulled into this Vortex.
  5. Update 30.7: Nidus Prime & Plague Star
    • ChangedZephyr’s Airburst was intended to pull enemies in like Vortex for a short duration, but was spawning exactly where the projectile hit, resulting in being inside the floor. We fixed it by making the vortex spawn a bit above the floor and in the process gave it an FX pass to communicate better what was happening.
  6. The Deadlock Protocol: Hotfix 28.0.6 + 28.0.6.1
    • ChangedDoubled the Damage of the Shrapnel Vortex grenade.
  7. Update 26: The Old Blood
    • ChangedWhen a Bastille’s duration expires, it collapses into a brief Vortex at the center of the cast for easy group kills. Want the Vortex to appear sooner, or last longer? Holding the cast key will collapse all active Bastilles early, or if you have no Bastilles, holding will deploy a new Vortex instead.
  8. Fortuna: Hotfix 24.0.9
    • FixedFixed multiple Warframe abilities (Nidus’ Larva, Vauban’s Vortex, etc) breaking due to a script error occurring when an AI recovered from a ragdolled state as reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1032142-nidus-larva-bugging-out-fix-pending/?page=11&tab=comments#comment-10334248
