Prime weapons aren't really worth it.

[Space0ddity]

Aside from a few fringe cases where usually useless weapons like Tiberon get buffed drastically, the minor stat increases from prime weapons aren't the thing that pushes them to the top.

The other component of prime weapons, which is the reskin is sometimes barely noticeable compared to say, a full body reskin or a fancy prime frame. Maybe a primary weapon or a melee prime is more noticeable, but secondaries get shafted so hard that some of them (like sicarus) actually look even worse than usual.

When the thing that makes primo weapons so powerful is a riven, which works just as fine on the regular weapon, is there even a point to chasing after primes? The plat you spend on them could better go to skins or fancy slots, or if you're spending time, it might just be better to work a job IRL and then buy some tennogen. I guarantee that rolling in something like Nidus Phryke is much more noticable and unique than just having 3 primes in your loadout.

There's no reason to use Prime gear at all, stick to the regular versions.

Yes. I think this is a reason to quit the game

People are given the freedom to choose what they want to build and play with...

@OP if you don't want to use Prime gear then don't.

I am not allowed to call the OP what they are. But you can check their profile and read their other posts to know they aren't serious

This thread is a joke guys... there was a thread earlier that claimed that Primed Warframes where useless.

 

@Topic: Primed Weapons are to 90% strictly better where by frames the important part are the abilities and they dont get better with a primed version so it is different indeed.

Then don't use it? Not sure it's worth making a thread to tell us.

Once more, I agree, all Prime items are useless, hit me up in-game so I can take them off your hands as an act of charity

Hmmm...

 

 

Warframes too for the lolz

obvious troll considering all the stats on primed is buffed in some way over basic variant.  obviously they are going to avoid them being so much of boost that makes new players with no primes useless completely.  as for the abilities on the frames yess they stay same but the stats like heath armor and such do get buff albe it small one
