CODEX

Loose explosive glass slugs that tear through enemies with Gara's signature shotgun, presented here in its spectacular Prime form.

Astilla Prime is the primed variant of  Astilla, acting as a direct upgrade. Astilla Prime was released alongside  Gara Prime and  Volnus Prime.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Impact damage.

Advantages:

• High  Slash and  Impact damage – effective against health and shields.
• High critical chance.
• Very high status chance.
• Fires a single slug every shot instead of individual pellets.
  • Slugs have a guaranteed  Impact proc.
• Slugs explode in a 2.4 meter radius after impacting a surface or enemy.
  • Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
  • Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
• Tied with  Astilla for the highest accuracy of all shotguns.
• Innate two and one polarities.

Disadvantages:

• Low  Puncture damage – less effective against armor.
• Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from 30m to 60m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
• Fewer status counts due to firing a single projectile instead of multiple pellets.
• Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
• Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 70% from central impact.
• Projectiles have travel time.
• Ammo inefficient.
• Shatter area of effect cannot hit enemies behind the location of impact.

Notes

• As a Signature Weapon, Astilla Prime gains a bonus effect with  Gara or  Gara Prime, gaining an additional 80 reserve ammo, for a total of 200.
• Similar to its standard counterpart, because of the weapon's firing mechanics, the Astilla Prime can be practically treated as a mid-ranged assault rifle that uses shotgun mods. But due to the explosive effects of its slugs, the gun is deceptively effective at crowd control.
