Notes

• The damage is actually a combination of all the pellets' damage values; the actual damage per pellet is 40 Impact Damage Impact, 5 Puncture Damage Puncture and 5 Slash Damage Slash.
• Like many of the older weapons, during a reload the Akbronco Prime's clip will be reloaded before the reload animation is actually finished; if the reload is almost finished, the animation can be interrupted (by player or by enemy) and the weapon will still be reloaded. The point where the clip is reloaded occurs about 3/4's of the way through the animation.

Tips

• Weapon's spread cone can be shrunken by zooming in.
• Quickdraw Quickdraw or Stunning Speed Stunning Speed is a must to compensate the slow reload speed of the Akbronco Prime, in order to maintain a decent DPS.
• Using a maxed Seeker (Mod) Seeker mod is recommended to upgrade its status spreading capability.

Trivia

• The Akbronco Prime is the first primed dual secondary.
• Unlike most segregated akimbo secondaries, the Akbronco Prime can be crafted without an Orokin Cell, and is instead replaced by an Orokin link of some kind.
  • 20 Orokin Cells are needed for crafting 2 Bronco Primes, however.
• The Akbronco Prime's gold parts can be recolored as of Update 15.13 (2015-02-05).

Patch History

Hotfix 29.5.7 (2020-12-10)

• Fixed a script error when trying to Auto Install on Akbronco Prime if you also have the Damzav-Vati Mod.

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

Greater than 100% Status having meaning

Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.

Shotguns as a special case means we have buffed the Status Chance of all Shotguns by x3 or greater. The UI now behaves to show the reality that you are determining Status Chance per pellet.
