DMR Prime is viable for status, though not the best since the base status is meh. You'll need to pump all mod slots into status chance, multishot and fire rate for it to be a good (enough) status hose. You don't get any real damage from it, but that's in line with other Sentinel status hoses modded to be one (e.g. Cryotra, Prisma Burst Laser).

There isn't any real reason you should use it over either the Cryotra or PBL on a Sentinel, however if you're one of the few people who use Moas, DMR Prime is likely the best status hose you can fit on one due to it being better at hitting stuff at long range - Moas have infinite engagement range (it will try to shoot drop ships in open world if there's nothing closer), but Cryotra has a fixed 30m max range and PBL has rather slow projectiles, while the Deth Machine Rifle is inaccurate but also hitscan with infinite range.
