Trivia[]
- The Prime Laser Rifle can be visually distinguished from the Laser Rifle by its golden yellow projectiles while firing, as opposed to the latter's blue projectiles.
- The Prime Laser Rifle is the first Primed Robotic Weapon, and the first Primed item to have the term "Prime" as prefix rather than a suffix.
- Despite the weapon itself being based off the Laser Rifle, the Prime Laser Rifle's icon is a primed version of the Burst Laser.
- When the Wyrm Prime was first introduced, it came equipped with the standard Laser Rifle on PC version, but it came equipped with the Prime Laser Rifle on the PS4. This technically makes the Prime Laser Rifle the first piece of content to appear on consoles first before the PC. This discrepancy was fixed in Hotfix 13.9.2 (2014-07-09).

Patch History[]
Hotfix 37.0.8 (2024-10-16)
- Fixed Prime Laser Rifle having a wide spread on its first volley after moving.
- This was due to a bug with its AI, which lent to the wildly inaccurate aiming when targeting enemies.
Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)
- Rebalance of Sentinel weapons
The Origin system never stops developing the most exotic and destructive weapons known to Tenno-kind, and the weapons mounted to our Sentinels are no exception. The gap between the top and the bottom has gotten wider than we would like to see, so please enjoy these changes bringing up some of the weaker weapons. Not all weapons will focus on damage, some will get new utility features instead.
