Pyrana Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.
Pyrana Prime is the Primed variant of 
Pyrana, sporting higher stats, longer range before damage falloff occurs, increased magazine size, and faster reload, at the expense of damage and slower fire rate. To compensate for these losses, when the weapon kills thrice in quick succession, a second ethereal Pyrana appears for a short time, transforming the weapon into an akimbo with doubled ammunition and firing speed.

Characteristics[]
This weapon deals primarily 
Slash damage.
Advantages:
- High
Slash damage – effective against health and shields (although Puncture and Impact is much better against the respective damage classes). - Fully automatic.
- Fast reload speed.
- Efficient ammo economy.
- 3 kills within 10 seconds summons a second Pyrana Prime for 5 seconds, doubling its fire rate and magazine size.
- Innate two polarities.
Disadvantages:
- Low Impact and Puncture damage – less effective against shields and health.
- Linear damage falloff from 100% to 72.7% from 18m to 36m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
- Low accuracy.
- High recoil, especially on full auto and with the second Pyrana Prime.
- Shots go to the right and up. Horizontally it hits rightmost side of the reticle at 3m, worsening at longer distances.
Comparisons:
- Pyrana Prime (Normal Attack), compared to Pyrana (Normal Attack):
- Lower base damage per projectile (6.00 vs. 6.10)
- Lower total damage (72 vs. 73.2)
- Lower average damage per tap (72 vs. 73.2)
- Lower burst DPS (288 vs. 305.24)
- Higher sustained DPS (175.60 vs. 166.43)
- Farther starting damage falloff distance (18.0 m vs. 15.0 m)
- Farther max damage falloff distance (36.0 m vs. 30.0 m)
- Lower fire rate (4.00 attacks/sec vs. 4.17 attacks/sec)
- Faster reload time (1.60 s vs. 2.00 s)
- More accurate (N/A vs. N/A)
- Higher Mastery Rank required (13 vs. 12)
Notes[]
- Killing 3 enemies in quick succession while having 2 Pyranas will not refresh the duration of the ethereal Pyrana.
- Upon activating the ethereal Pyrana, the number of rounds in its modded clip size are added to the clip (e.g. if modded clip size is 14, 14 rounds are added when ethereal Pyrana is conjured). When the ethereal Pyrana disappears, the clip is reduced to the modded clipsize (e.g. if the modded clip size is 14, any number of rounds in the current clip will be reduced to 14, unless the number of rounds is below 14 as it will remain the same).
- The Pyrana Prime generates a large amount of recoil, which is even more noticeable when dual wielding with the ethereal Pyrana.
- The listed damage is actually a combination of all twelve pellets' damage values. The actual damage per pellet is 0.4 Impact, 0.4 Puncture, and 4.2 Slash.
