Rivens on Prime weapons

[SupremeMachine_V1]

Let’s say, hypothetically, I have a riven for the Fulmin gun. Can that same riven be equipped on the Fulmin Prime, and vice versa? Or would I have to grind a riven specifically for the Fulmin Prime?

Yes, as long it is the "same" weapon, you can use it (Normal, Prime, Prisma, Kuva, Tenet, Vandal, Wraith). Variants that can be considered different weapons have different rivens, single/dual weapons, mutalist weapons (Quanta and Mutalist Quanta), Dragon and regular Nikana, to name a few.

The exception of that rule are the Zaw/Kitgun rivens, that depend of the blade/barrel.

When you preview the riven, you can see which weapons you can equip.

Just have in mind that the riven won't have the same stats on weapon variations because of the riven disposition stat. Usually, better default stats = worse riven stats.
