- See Category:Paris 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
- Aim for the head as crit-based weapons benefit extra from headshots due to a bonus multiplier.
- Use Point Strike to take advantage of Paris Prime's extremely high base critical chance.
- A level 4 Point Strike is also sufficient to boost each shot's critical chance past 100%, making every shot a critical hit.
- A maxed Point Strike will, with every charged shot, give a 12.5% chance for orange crits.
- Staying in cover while charging will help to reduce damage taken.
- Bows are most useful if you can kill the target in one shot, thus it is recommended to have your bow well modded.
- Lead targets both horizontally and vertically at greater distances in order to compensate for projectile travel time.
- Maintaining a charge at all times can make engaging a group of enemies easier.
- Charging can be cancelled without releasing the arrow by using the reload button (Press the reload button while holding fire).
- Doing a melee attack will release the arrow, however.
- All "charge weapons" (except Angstrum and Opticor) are capable of holding their charge during a sprint.
- As long as the user starts charging a shot, they are able to finish charging while they are still sprinting.
- Using elevators and opening co-op doors does not cancel the charge, however hacking consoles and opening lockers will.
- Sliding when you are about to hit the ground (from any height) is very useful for keeping your charge instead of losing it by rolling.
- Charging can be cancelled without releasing the arrow by using the reload button (Press the reload button while holding fire).
- A rank 1 Arrow Mutation is usually more than enough to keep ammo topped off.
- Alternatively, use Team Ammo Restores instead of Arrow Mutation to gain mod capacity at the cost of resources.
- Carrier's Ammo Case is also an effective method to convert unused ammo into bow ammo.
- Use Speed Trigger to increase responsiveness when you get used to charged shots with bows. It is more effective than Fast Hands in terms of increasing DPS.
- Enemies killed by Bows will be rag-dolled with the corpse acting as a projectile doing the same damage as the weapon. This can be used to kill multiple enemies with one shot.
NotesEdit
- Enemies will notice missed arrows but arrows that kill enemies are silent.
- As of Update 17.0, you can draw this weapon while on a zipline.
- Arrows have a large amount of momentum, allowing players to pin enemies to walls. However, a dead body will not lose its momentum if it hits a closed door, so the body will fly through it as soon as the door opens.
TriviaEdit
- The Paris Prime uses the same quiver as the Paris, just altered with golden accents.
- Currently, the only other Prime weapons that do not require Orokin Cells for construction are the Fang Prime, Dual Kamas Prime, Cernos Prime, and the Akstiletto Prime.
