Acquisition[]
The Prisma Burst Laser is automatically acquired upon purchasing Prisma Shade from Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay for 300,000 and 
500. Note that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and this item may not be available on a succeeding appearance.
Prisma Burst Laser can be traded, but only for unranked copies without Forma and Orokin Catalyst installed.
Note that this weapon also takes up one Companion inventory slot.
Notes[]
- Its reload time of 0.0 seconds means that the Prisma Burst Laser takes no breaks from firing, while the sentinel is not preoccupied. This also means that its magazine size and reload speed modifications are irrelevant. Furthermore, it benefits more from fire rate than other weapons, due to its fire rate not impacting how much time it will spend reloading. This is converse to Prime Laser Rifle, which spends its entire magazine in a third of a second.
Tips[]
- With its virtually nonexistent downtime, this weapon is excellent to equip with Energy Generator or Synth Deconstruct, allowing the Companion to get as many assists as possible.
Trivia[]
- Shortly after the Prisma Shade was available, this weapon could be purchased separately from Baro Ki'Teer, without having to purchase the Prisma Shade at all. This was quickly rectified.
Patch History[]
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.
