TheAscendedOne Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 By this, I mean that once you earn a prime weapon, it unlocks on your account, much like an alternate helmet, and appears as an alternate skin with a stat tradeoff on the base weapon. Example - Braton Prime is an alternate skin of the Braton. It increases your damage at the cost of firing rate and reload speed. This would reduce clutter, free up weapon slots, and allow forma + potatoes to carry over onto the Prime alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAscendedOne Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Less mastery. Oh well? The mastery system is currently really lacking as well and could use some tweaking. Mastery just means "grind up a bunch of useless weapons." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyKnight Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Oh well? The mastery system is currently really lacking as well and could use some tweaking. Mastery just means "grind up a bunch of useless weapons." I have no idea why I even got mastery rank 10... Anyway, it would be fine by me if primes worked like alternative skins. Edit: I do not care either way if lore say they must be new weapon so be it. Edited August 6, 2013 by LazyKnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawGritz Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) DE has already said they are not alternate skins. They're right. The stats are different. Plus Prime tech is supposed to be the original design from Orokin technology. Edited August 6, 2013 by RawGritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIMO Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The Primes aren't a type of our equipment, regular Bratons and Paris' are the mass production version of primes. They aren't variants, they are different weapons and are treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
