Tips

 * The Braton Prime has the unique capability of cutting corpses into pieces, similar to -focused melee weapons. This makes the Braton Prime the prime 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.
 * Alternatively, Braton Prime can be used to assist Desecrating Nekros to yield more loots.
 * Other known firearms which shares the same property are the AkJagara, Flux Rifle, Grakata, Kohm, Miter, Panthera, Spectra, Tigris, Vastos (Vasto, Akvasto and Vasto Prime), Latos (Lato, Lato Prime and Lato Vandal).
 * When used extensively or playing solo, the Braton Prime's ammunition can run out quickly. Consider switching to your secondary, utilizing melee combat, or using the Rifle Ammo Mutation mod.
 * 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.
