Weapon LoadoutsEdit

• See Category:Fang Prime Build to see how players mod this weapon.
• See Category:Fang Prime Guides for guides on how to use this weapon effectively.
• For more general help with weapons, you may wish to browse Category:Weapon Guides.

TipsEdit

• It is not recommended for use against Infested enemies (especially at high levels) due to the majority of the damage being Puncture damage.
  • Due to light infested units being granted armor by Swarm-Mutalist MOA, Fang Prime can still end up being more effective versus those units than slash-based daggers.
• When farming Void Relics for the handles, keep in mind that a Fang Prime Handle is required to advance in the Red Veil Syndicate.

NotesEdit

• All melee attacks beside normal attacks (jump, slide, wall, slam and finisher attacks) have a 10% proc chance.
• Unlike many other prime weapons, Fang Prime does not require Orokin Cells to build.

TriviaEdit

• Currently the only other Prime weapons that don't require Orokin Cells to craft are the Paris Prime, Dual Kamas Prime, Cernos Prime and the Akstiletto Prime.
• Finisher attacks have 100% chance to Slash proc, although Fang Prime doesn't have Slash damage at all.
• As of Update 19.4.2, the Codex displays this weapon with a magazine size of 6.
