Primed Chamber

“Time is relative. Choose when ready.” This article refers to valid content that is currently unavailable to be acquired in the live version of the game. It may return to be available again in a future update or event.

Primed Chamber is a sniper rifle mod that increases the damage from the first shot fired from a fresh magazine.

StatsEdit

AcquisitionEdit

• This was originally distributed to the top 100 ranked players in the Informant Event, based on the number of Informer kills.
• For a short time after Update 10.6 it could have been acquired via transmutation. This was due to a bug where all mods (including unreleased ones) became obtainable through transmutation. This has since been fixed, but players who obtained the mod this way were allowed to keep them.
• During Devstream 17, 18, 43, 49, 59, 94, 107, 112 and 116 one lucky winner was given a Primed Chamber mod through random selection. Two winners were randomly selected during Devstream 121. It is unknown if they will continue giving away Primed Chamber this way.
• A single Primed Chamber was given out as the first place reward for the Mirror the Mod Contest.
• A Primed Chamber was given out upon reaching $4,000.00 during the WarframeFanChannels Extra-Life event in February 2017.
• The option of being given either a Primed Chamber or a Legendary Core was given by DESheldon at Tennocon 2017 to five people who caught MTG cards he threw out into the audience. He later signed these cards as proof of the prize.
• Two Primed Chambers were given out during QuietteShy's Twitch stream via random selection on January 16 2019.

DERebecca has stated the following on the topic of people being upset over Primed Chamber being exclusive: "Ah, we did not say the Primed Chamber mod is Exclusive to the Drone weekend event, it was just the first time it was introduced. Sorry for the confusion there! I imagine it will appear again in future events." ^[1]

Due to the release of  Charged Chamber it seems unlikely that Primed Chamber will be released as a drop however the possibility of Primed Chamber appearing in another event has been confirmed in Livestream 17. DE said they were going to have it as a Gradivus Dilemma reward, but "didn't get that far" and are looking for the next appropriate event to add it to.

NotesEdit

• Primed Chamber is multiplicative with similar mods. For example, a Vectis installed with a max ranked Primed Chamber and  Serration will deal 225 × (1 + 165%) × (1 + 100%) = 1,192.5 damage.
• Stacks additively with  Charged Chamber for up to 140% bonus damage.
• Despite its name, Primed Chamber is not related to Primed Mods, and was in fact added in the game long before the first Primed Mods.

TipsEdit

• This mod goes particularly well with the Vectis as it has a one shot magazine, giving the bonus to all shots fired.
  • When combined with  Depleted Reload or a well-timed manual reload, this also applies to the Vectis Prime.
