Rubico Prime

Prime sniper rifle with faster firing and stronger critical chance than Rubico

Released Sep 25, 2018

Rubico Prime is a five-round hitscan sniper rifle with 38% critical chance, a 3× critical multiplier, and a faster listed fire rate than the standard Rubico. Consider it when you want the Rubico's familiar sniper format with stronger critical stats and a shorter reload, while keeping its small magazine and long-range handling in mind.

Rubico Prime GUIDE

Understand Rubico Prime

Useful when…

  • Land deliberate long-range hitscan shots.
  • Fire several shots before a two-second reload.
  • Use its two Madurai starting polarities when choosing compatible mods.

Attack profile and range

Its normal attack is hitscan, semi-automatic, and listed at 3.67 shots per second. Each shot deals 187 listed damage, mostly Impact, with 38% critical chance, a 3× critical multiplier, and 16% status chance. The magazine holds five rounds and reloads in 2 seconds. Falloff begins at 400 meters and reaches a 50% reduction at 600 meters. This is still a deliberate sniper with a limited magazine, but its base stats allow faster follow-up shots and a shorter reload than the standard Rubico's listed profile.

Investment and practical choice

Rubico Prime requires Mastery Rank 12 and has two Madurai polarities. Its higher starting critical chance, same 3× multiplier, faster listed firing rate, and two-second reload are concrete handling and stat differences from Rubico. The five-round magazine remains the central constraint. Consider whether you value those differences before investing in a second sniper; no universal ranking follows from these listed stats alone.

Other sniper choices

Komorex offers two zoom levels with differing behavior, including a viral burst round at the second zoom, while Perigale is described around consecutive headshots and Infinite Ammo. Vadarya Prime can make struck enemies attract chain lightning. These options introduce specific mechanics that differ from Rubico Prime's straightforward hitscan shot; consider them when those mechanics are more useful to your intended approach.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The five-round magazine still limits sustained fire.
  • The sniper's listed falloff begins at 400 meters and reaches 50% reduction by 600 meters.
  • Its Mastery requirement is higher than the standard Rubico's.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming the Prime version removes the five-round magazine limitation.
  • Confusing the listed critical chance fraction with a percentage; the attack data reports 38%.
