Orthos Prime

"ORTHOS PRIME is an ancient Orokin martial weapon, forged from the purest rubidium making it extremely light-weight."

- In-Game Description

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * High charge damage.
 * Triple damage to Infested except Ancients.
 * Slide attack deals 2.5x damage.
 * Long range attacks with a wide radius.
 * Charge attack has large AoE and even hits a small area behind the player.
 * Hits up to 5 targets with AoE attacks.

Disadvantages:
 * Requires ten Orokin Cells to craft.
 * Can only be obtained from the Void and is therefore difficult to acquire.
 * Jump attacks have no knockdown power, only staggering with a medium-small AoE.
 * When swinging you will be reduced to a walking pace (like all heavy melee weapons), starting on the third swing animation.
 * Normal attacks have awkwardly placed swing hitboxes which vary with each swing animation, making it more difficult to hit enemies.
 * Doesn't have momentum (stagger resistance) like other heavy weapons.
 * Charge attacks hit ~270° around you, not 360° like other heavy weapons; enemies to the right are not hit.

Acquisition
Components and the Orthos Prime Blueprint can only be obtained by completing Defense, Mobile Defense, and Capture Void Key missions.
