CODEX

The max-velocity saw-launcher perfected. Features a larger magazine, faster fire rate, and a radial, slashing ricochet.

The Panthera Prime is the primed variant of the Panthera, sporting increased critical chance, status chance, fire rate, and magazine size, at some expense to accuracy, reload speed, and max ammo capacity. The primary fire also gains the ability to shoot explosive sawblades, while still being able to ricochet off surfaces. It was released alongside Inaros Prime and Karyst Prime.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.

Advantages:

• High Slash damage – effective against health.
• Primary fire shoots miniature saws in a fully automatic fashion.
  • Tied with Panthera and Zhuge for the highest base damage of all fully automatic rifles.
  • Good critical chance.
  • Shots explode in a 1.6 meter radius on impact with a surface or enemy.
    • Explosion can benefit from  Firestorm and  Cautious Shot.
  • Projectiles can bounce off surfaces or enemies up to 3 times, enabling them to hit multiple targets.
• Alternate Fire shoots a single levitating sawblade that deals continuous damage and staggers enemies.
  • Very high critical chance.
  • Pinpoint accuracy.
  • Only consumes ammo when dealing damage.

Disadvantages:

  • Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 80% from central impact.
  • Consumes 2 rounds per shot.
  • Tied with Attica for the second slowest fire rate of all fully automatic weapons, after Panthera.
• Alternate Fire:
  • No Impact and Puncture damage – less effective against shields and armor.
    • Damage cannot be increased with Impact or Puncture mods.
  • Limited range of 8 meters.
  • Tied with Panthera for the slowest fire rate of all continuous primaries.
• Slow reload speed.
