Tips

 * The Braton Prime has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, similar to -focused melee weapons. This makes the Braton Prime an ideal candidate for a Desecrating Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
 * Other known firearms which shares the same property are the Akjagara, Flux Rifle, Grakata, Kohm, Lato, Lato Prime, Lato Vandal, Miter, Panthera, Tigris, Vasto, Akvasto and Vasto Prime.
 * When used extensively or playing solo, the Braton Prime's ammunition can run out quickly. Consider switching to your secondary, utilizing melee combat, using the Rifle Ammo Mutation mod, or bring a Carrier equipped with Ammo Case.
 * When fighting at long range, consider firing the Braton Prime in short bursts, or charge the enemy to gain ground. The ammo saved from avoiding long range fighting can compensate for damage sustained in melee/short ranged combat.
