Panthera Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

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

The Panthera Prime is the Prime variant of the Panthera Panthera with increased critical chance, status chance, fire rate, and magazine size, at some expense to accuracy, reload speed, and max ammo capacity. The primary fire sawblades gain explosive properties, while still being able to ricochet off surfaces. Panthera Prime was released alongside InarosPrimeIcon272 Inaros Prime and KarystPrime Karyst Prime.

Patch History[]

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

Headshot Damage Changes

During playtesting, the ammo changes alone weren’t enough to significantly change things for AoE weapons. So instead of tightening these values to be overly restrictive, we chose to address other factors that make these weapons so strong, such as headshot damage.

Our approach here is two-fold, to reduce the impact of headshots for AOE weapons, but to also make precision headshots pack a larger punch overall.

  • Radial damage no longer gains extra headshot damage or triggers headshot conditions.
    • This is primarily targeted at the Ignis Wraith - as a “flamethrower” weapon, it’s hard to imagine a blanket of elements being precise enough to target weak points specifically. Explosive projectiles themselves can still land headshots, so there is still a reason to aim with most weapons for maximum damage.

Hotfix 29.6.3 (2020-12-22)

  • Fixed performance issues associated with the Panthera Prime and certain Mod combinations.

Hotfix 28.2.1 (2020-08-01)

  • Fixed incorrect Riven Dispositions for Panthera Prime. They are at the correct Riven Disposition of 0.5.

Update 28.2 (2020-07-14)

  • Introduced.
