The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time.

Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

Banshee Prime's signature shotgun is an instrument of devastation that fires both focused and broad shots.

The Euphona Prime is Banshee PrimeIcon272 Banshee Prime's signature standalone Prime shotgun sidearm, capable of two different firing modes. The primary fire shoots a slug for longer range engagements while the Alternate Fire shoots wider spread shots for close range fights. The weapon deals extreme damage per shot, kept in check by its low magazine, slow fire rate, and difficulty to use at long distances owing to the primary fire's arcing projectile bullet and the alt-fire's massive damage fall-off. It was released alongside Banshee PrimeIcon272 Banshee Prime and HeliosPrime Helios Prime.

Notes[]

  • Currently, Euphona Prime lacks a Signature Weapon bonus with Banshee PrimeIcon272 Banshee Prime.
  • The Euphona Prime has two different firing modes with different characteristics:
    • Normal shots fire a projectile that primarily deals DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage with high critical stats.
    • Using Alternate Fire will shoot a spread of hitscan pellets akin to a shotgun, which focus on DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage and high status chance.
  • Its primary fire has bullet drop, and slightly spreads at long distances. It also enforces a ragdoll-like effect if a headshot is performed.

Tips[]

  • Projectile Speed mods will reduce the slug projectile drop, increase projectile speed, and increase the effective range of the buckshot secondary fire.

Trivia[]

  • Euphona Prime is the fourth standalone Prime piece of equipment, after ReaperPrime Reaper Prime, DakraPrime Dakra Prime, and the Kavasa Prime Collar, and the first standalone Prime Secondary weapon.
  • Euphona is a Greek word that refers to pleasant sounds, typically letters, syllables, or words.
  • Euphona Prime is the first Signature Weapon to be primed. However, Euphona Prime was implemented before signature weapon bonuses were added.
  • Euphona Prime is the only signature weapon to not have a common counterpart.
  • As of Update 25, Euphona Prime's default palette has gone from a brown, wood-like finish to a glossy white to be more in line with Orokin aesthetics.

Bugs[]

  • If no other Prime weapons, nor items are equipped, Baro Ki'Teer will treat players equipped with Euphona Prime in his usual mocking tone.

Patch History[]

Hotfix 32.0.7 (2022-09-28)

  • Fixed the following weapons not correctly playing their intended animations between shots:
    • Euphona Prime - Fixed Warframe not spinning the gun between shots.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

Ammo Changes

We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.

Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.

Secondary Weapon Ammo Pick Up Overrides

20 Ammo per Pick Up:

  • Euphona Prime

Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)

  • Fixed the Euphona Prime not playing the proper reload animation when the last shot in the magazine is from its alt fire.

Hotfix 31.0.8 (2022-01-12)

  • Fixed Euphona Prime reload sound when using the gun as Secondary without a Glaive.

Update 29.6 (2020-12-18)

  • Fixed missing “spinning around your finger” animation for the Euphona Prime Alt Fire.

Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)

  • Fixed duplicate clip eject on Euphona Prime when the Oscira Pistol Skin is equipped.

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.

  • (Undocumented) Status chance per projectile increased from 3% to 9% (alt-fire).
