This lovely weapon is available right now from your friendly Void Trader!

Despite "popular" opinion below, I find this weapon wonderfully effective thanks to its high fire rate (which is much more exploitable if recoil is corrected for), very good base crit and status chances and high crit multiplier. I found that focusing builds on damage per shot rather than burst/sustained stats helps with ammo economy, more than reducing fire rate with Critical Delay, as the increased damage is delivered at the base fire rate, keeping the weapon viable. So saying, it is still best used in short bursts, particularly if using it with the natural recoil. At short range consider following up with a Condition Overloaded melee quick attack to deal the killing blow at higher levels, using the high status chance of the Grakata to soften the enemy up by applying 2-5 statuses in a fraction of a second, depending on your build/gear setup of course.

Just like every weapon in Warframe, pretty much every weapon can be viable with the right build, even the humble Lato. Judge each one carefully and more importantly for yourselves from actually playing with it. What I have written here is my opinion on the Prisma Grakata; I've been using it regularly recently and still really enjoy it, more so than the Baza SMG.
