CODEX

A set of ceremonial daggers from the Orokin era, the Fang Prime's blades resonate violently as they strike. This allows them to pierce hardened materials like armor with ease.

Fang Prime features a higher base damage than Fang as well as a faster attack speed. The Fang Prime was added into the game in Update 9.0 (2013-07-13).

This weapon can be sold for 5,000 Credits 5,000.

Tips

• Not recommended to be used against Infested enemies especially at high levels, due to the majority of the damage being 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.
• If you are farming Void Relics for the handles, keep in mind that a Fang Prime Handle is required to advance in the Red Veil Syndicate.

Notes

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

Trivia

• Currently the only other Prime weapons that don't require Orokin Cells are the Paris Prime, Dual Kamas Prime and the Akstiletto Prime.
• Finisher attacks have 100% chance to proc, although Fang Prime doesn't have damage at all.
• As of Update 19.4.2 (2016-12-20), the Codex displays this weapon with a magazine size of 6.
