Where do Prisma weapons fit, faction-wise?

[Gorila_Azul]

I'm a bit picky with the thematic of the weapons I use, so where are the Prisma weapons in terms of faction? Do they still belong to whatever faction they were from before being upgraded, or do they all become Tenno weapons or something?

I always kinda assumed that Baro gave them a new look. No lore to back this, it just makes sense to me.

Baro dips items in his personal paint job and makes you pay extra for it.

A few of the descriptions on Prisma stuff explain that Prisma gear is just normal gear with a Prisma crystal coat/finish, presumably made by Baro. How Prisma crystals manage to change various stats is beyond me but science does some crazy stuff in Warframe.

I think it was mentioned that the Prisma liquid-thing used to coat Prisma items are found in the Void, hence Baro being the 'Void Trader'.

Edit: it is a special type of crystal, info from the wikia:

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

I have always assumed Prisma items to be infused with Cryotics or Argon Crystal by Baro...

Prisma is the Origin Systems branch of Apple.

Faction-wise they still belong to their respective factions after being treated by Baro, unlike Vandal that are specifically made for Tenno.

Another thing to keep in mind is also void radiation from them which is poisonous to non-tenno users.

Sounds like a recycled call of duty DLC with their "remaster".

They are from any faction batch that Baro gets a hold of and dumps into his special sauce.

he puts them in a bucket of orokin bleach and lets them sit there for 2 weeks and you end up with some neat looking weapons he makes you pay more for

They still were designed by their respective factions, just given an upgrade and paintjob by Baro. I mean the Primsa Grakata may be a Shiner and more expensive version, but it is worth it. If only they got rid of the Vomit Inducing screen shake when firing it.
