Understand Scourge Prime
Useful when…
- Use automatic fire for its listed projectile and explosion damage.
- Use the separate spear throw for its listed Impact, Slash, and Puncture hit and Corrosive explosion.
Automatic fire
Automatic fire lists a rate of 2.67 for both the projectile and explosion entries. The projectile hit deals 80 Corrosive damage; the explosion deals 60 Corrosive damage, with a listed falloff reduction of 30% from 0 to 1.7 m. Each entry lists 10% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 30% status chance. The data does not establish how those per-component chances combine per shot. The weapon has a 40-round magazine and a 2.2-second reload time.
Thrown spear
The thrown spear entries list a rate of 1. The spear hit deals 140 Impact, 30 Slash, and 30 Puncture damage; its explosion deals 55 Corrosive damage, with a listed falloff reduction of 60% from 0 to 7 m. Each entry lists 10% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 30% status chance. The listed falloff end distance does not by itself establish an effective blast radius.
Requirements and listed properties
Scourge Prime requires Mastery Rank 14. It has an automatic trigger, listed accuracy of 100, and starting polarities of one Naramon and three Madurai. Its listed attack components have 10% critical chance and 30% status chance; these values alone do not establish build suitability.
Related weapons
Perigale Prime is a sniper rifle. Afentis and Afentis Prime are spearguns; Afentis is described as stunning nearby enemies when thrown or buffing nearby allies when planted, while Afentis Prime is described as stunning enemies and invigorating allies. These descriptions identify different weapon roles and do not assign those effects to Scourge Prime.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Automatic fire and the thrown spear have separate listed attack rates and damage profiles.
- Automatic fire has a 40-round magazine and a listed 2.2-second reload time.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Combining the thrown spear damage or rate with the automatic-fire entries.
- Assuming Afentis effects described for that weapon apply to Scourge Prime.
