For Those Asking "will Every Weapon Get Primed?"

[duhadventure]

Everyone wants to know if all the weapons in the game will be primed. It is only going to be Tenno weapons unless we hybridize other faction weapons with Orokin tech. Here is the Weapon by faction list I made. (Note: These are based on appearance and whatever evidence wiki offers. Also all Warframes can be primed, and possibly all ships since they are all Tenno ships.)

one thing to kinda stir the pot. Braton is a corpus weapon designed after the prime. Same goes with lex i think and the snipetron? I believe if a weapon was designed after the prime counterpart we could potentially see a primed opticor or the such, some lore would need to be twisted to make it work though. also Helios is corpus

[RunningFox]

also, even the Grineer/Corpus weapons can be "primed" in a sense, what with Wraith and Vandal weapons, but what does that make Prisma weapons? I kind of wish Prisma Excalibrur was a entirely separate warframe instead of just a skin, I feel like it would add some continuity since no weapons have prisma skins, they are all their own weapons (as far as I know.) But that would be too many Excalibur variants, with regular, Prime, and Umbra sometime soon. Unless we got some lore behind Prisma weapons, which would be nice, I feel like they don't currently make any sense. Something that would be interesting would be for some major event (blowing-up of the void, perhaps?) to "trigger" the prisma weapons to shift into Umbra variants. idk just spitballing here.

You have Bronco(Prime) at the bottom of the non primable primaries list

that's really false however. Vandals and Wraiths are modified versions of the base weapon. Primes are the ORIGINAL versions. If Primes were the same as Vandals and Wraiths (physical modifications) then you could have a stug prime or a tetra prime, or even a war prime.

[Qynchou]

TFW no supra prime

 

Would love to see daikyu prime which would have more damage situationally against dread.

[TARINunit9]

Fluctus is Tenno, since it's in the Tenno Lab

 

Helios is Corpus, since it's in the Energy Lab

Nuuu Helius is my Bae sentinel! Uhhh Snipetron doesnt really fit in with game lore which is why its only event, not sure about it.

• Prisma items are often referred to as items that are specially treated using "Void-Hardened Prisma Crystals" to give them their lustre, explaining Baro Ki'Teer's fascination with them.

Nope and the same goes to warframes. I see the game lasting for a couple more years and probably an announcement next year of DE doing another game.

Then the braton should have been removed. All they would need to say is it's an archaic corpus weapon used long ago before the transition to energy based weapons.  

[Ognj]

TLDR: No, there are way too many Tenno based weapons compared to warframes. Let's say we will get two weapons primed with one Warframe, not only that there are way too many weapons already, but we are getting more and more Tenno-based weapons than warframes.

So expecting ALL weapons to be primed will simply not happen, but hey at least we can hope to get the primed weapons that we want.

[vazerd68]

TFW no supra prime

I would almost beg for a supra prime with the bullet velocity of the pre-buff supra... and less accuracy (i'm not even kidding).

[Necrius]

The only Prime I really care about is Venka. Well, also Galatine. Good point - unlike warframes, only some weapons are of Tenno design and were made after Prime counterparts.

[OverlordMcGeek]

Magistar prime is all I ask so it can be good again. 

 

Sure all weapons won't be truly primed. Then the headache will come from the plethora of prisma, vandal and wraith weapons. Only things that would be tricky would be Suda weapons. Maybe an anniversary thing so they can have a Dex attached to it.

 

Until we get another Dragon weapon, I won't touch that name designation.

[Kharn-The-Betrayer]

Dethcube is grineer, non primable item

[-Tzek4-]

not in the slightest

 

---

Convectrix is a confirmed/obvious corpus weapon.

[duhadventure]

Dethcube is grineer, non primable item

Really?

[(PSN)robotwars7]

you put Convectrix amongst the Primable weapons, it's not Tenno-made, it's a Corpus gun that is in the Energy Lab, plus it fires two converging beams, similar to a Flux Rifle (also a Corpus weapon). the Convectrix would only ever get the Vandal/Mara treatment at best.

[-Tzek4-]

Really?

it is not grineer it is tenno

[MrDar1o]

I believe if a weapon was designed after the prime counterpart we could potentially see a primed opticor or the such, some lore would need to be twisted to make it work though. also Helios is corpus

Braton and Burston use bullets (and I think they were made before decision that only Tenno weapons can be Prime), other Corpus weapons use energy, so Opticor (and other Coprus weapons) is too much Corpus to have Prime.

[16Bitman]

Corpus are descendants of the Orokin.

Grineer were their slaves.

 

DE can prime anything they want if they rewrite the lore a bit.

 

Nova was originally a "new age" warframe designed by the tenno council, never existed back in the orokin days, This part of the lore got removed the moment they felt like making tons of $$$ on Nova Prime.

[Cyaminthe]

Nova was originally a "new age" warframe designed by the tenno council, never existed back in the orokin days, This part of the lore got removed the moment they felt like making tons of $$$ on Nova Prime.

IIRC, it was never stated that the Tenno Council didn't exist during the Orokin age.

NEVER was it stated that Nova was a new age frame.

 

People just incorrectly assumed it.

Hey Oberon Prime Prime Prime? 

Yea?

Lets say that we didn't actually make nova, and slap some gold on her, then throw it into random towers.

Sure why not.

A simple solution imo, would be to increase the number of weapons in each Prime Access Pack.

This gives us a rate of 4 Weapons for each Warframe in terms of Priming.

This would make each pack slightly more attractive to players too, being 1 Warframe + 4 Weapons + Cosmetics.

Plus the 2 Archwings and 11 Arch-weapons, and 2 Sentinels.

 

To account for the extra parts to be added to drop tables, introduce a Tower V grade, this allows them to dilute the overall reward pool across another 7-10 missions.
