The Euphona Prime is 
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 Prime and Helios Prime.

Vaultings[]
- On December 7th, 2018, it was announced that Euphona Prime, alongside Banshee Prime and Helios Prime, would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on December 18th, 2018. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as-is.
Notes[]
- Currently, Euphona Prime lacks a Signature Weapon bonus with Banshee Prime.
- The Euphona Prime has two different firing modes with different characteristics:
- 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 Reaper Prime, 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[]
- When reloading immediately after an alt-fire shot, the default secondary reload animation will play with no sound.
- 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[]

- 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).
