Magnus Prime GUIDE

Understand Magnus Prime

Useful when…

  • Use its normal attack for direct hitscan fire.
  • Consider it if the chance-based infinite-ammo effect fits your preferred pistol handling.

Attack and ammo effect

Its single listed attack is semi-automatic and hitscan, with a listed attack speed of 5. It deals 98 physical damage per shot: 44.1 Impact, 26.95 Puncture, and 26.95 Slash. The attack has 28% critical chance, a 2.8× critical multiplier, and 28% status chance. The description says hits have a chance to grant infinite ammo for a few seconds, but gives neither the probability nor an exact duration.

Handling and investment

The pistol holds 8 rounds and has a listed reload time of 1.6 seconds and accuracy of 16. It requires Mastery Rank 14, has a rank cap of 30, and lists a Madurai polarity. These handling and progression details may matter when deciding whether its revolver profile suits your loadout.

Alternatives with different ammo conditions

Athodai and Athodai Prime are described as entering Overdrive after weak-point kills, maximizing fire rate and granting infinite ammo briefly. That trigger differs from Magnus Prime’s chance on hits. Vasto Prime is described as a rapid-fire revolver, but the supplied comparison does not give its detailed handling or attack values.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The ammo effect is chance-based, and its probability and precise duration are unspecified.
  • The magazine holds 8 rounds and the listed reload time is 1.6 seconds.
  • It requires Mastery Rank 14.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not assume every hit grants infinite ammo.
  • Do not transfer Athodai’s weak-point-kill trigger to Magnus Prime.
  • Do not treat the ammo-effect chance or duration as known.
