Tips[]
- 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.
- A level 4
- 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).
Trivia[]
- The Paris Prime uses the same quiver as the Paris, just altered with golden accents.
- The Paris Prime, alongside Akstiletto Prime, Cernos Prime, Dual Kamas Prime, Fang Prime, and Zhuge Prime are the only Prime weapons that do not require Orokin Cells as crafting ingredients.
