Wyrm Prime Worth It?

[(PSN)Poopyball]

He looks cool as hell but im not sure if hes really any different from normal Wyrm. Is he worthy of replacing my carrier?

[shut]

Wyrm's pretty gimmicky to me. After ranking the Prime to 30, I realized that it certainly isn't a bad Sentinel at all with that crazy life-saving AoE knockdown, but he's still pretty unpredictable and unreliable (whereas sentinels like Carrier and Helios have smaller, but more reliable, effects).

 

As long as you're not using precision weapons or melee weapons that the knockdown could cause to miss, though, I'd definitely recommend Wyrm Prime. The AoE knockdown has saved my butt on several occasions (which Carrier tends to do far less; he's more of a passive just-for-convenience sentinel), and the long-ranged laser sniping is great for pointing you to the nearest hidden enemy even if you don't have the laser modded to do significant damage.

 

 

 

It's no different from the regular Wyrm, though, and the Prime rifle, though powerful, actually isn't much stronger than the now-buffed standard Laser Rifle.

Take your Wyrm for a spin for a few missions. If you don't find Wyrm useful, you won't find Wyrm Prime useful either.

My wyrm prime will be done in 11 hours. Ill post my thoughts on it after using it

I just got done ranking wyrm prime for the mastery, usually use the sweeper, but because the wyrm's rifle ranked up to 30 before the sentinel itself I equipped the sweepers weapon onto the wyrm prime,, and noticed that the shotgun suddenly had a lot more range than normal, has anyone else noticed this at all?

Wyrm Prime's model is rather large. 

 

It can partially block the front-left quarter of your vision with the field of view set at default.

 

Also, his color options currently can't be changed on PS4 and his default colors are ugly as sin.

and his default colors are ugly as sin.

 

You take that back.

 

(But yeah, the giant model is really distracting. None of my other Sentinels are capable of blocking my screen so well.)
