Prisma Gorgon

Grineer Weapons

CONCLAVE (PvP)

The Prisma Gorgon is the Prisma variant of the Gorgon light machine gun, featuring higher critical chance, critical multiplier, status chance, fire rate, magazine size and capacity, and accuracy, and faster spool-up and reload, at a slight expense to damage.

AcquisitionEdit

The Prisma Gorgon is potentially sold by Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay for 50,000‍ 50,000 and 600‍600. Note that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and this weapon may not be available on a succeeding appearance.

The weapon can be traded, but only for unranked copies without Forma and Orokin Catalyst installed. The trading recipient must also have a Mastery Rank of at least 11.

NotesEdit

• While the Prisma Gorgon has the same vertical recoil behavior as the Gorgon and the Gorgon Wraith, it has significantly reduced horizontal recoil, which combined with its higher accuracy stats makes it overall more accurate at longer ranges.

TipsEdit

• Like the Gorgon and the Gorgon Wraith, the Prisma Gorgon has a spool-down period in which it can retain its maximum rate of fire after releasing the trigger. Firing the weapon to maximum rate of fire, releasing the trigger and then firing before the spool-down period finishes allows the weapon to be fired in short bursts.
  • Firing in bursts is essential for conserving ammo when used against groups of weaker enemies. Reserve using sustained full-auto fire at maximum spool for larger, tougher targets like Napalms and Techs.
• Speed Trigger and/or Shred speeds up the rate of fire, which subsequently reduces the time needed to spool up to maximum fire rate. Doing so will hasten the rate at which the weapon consumes ammo, however.
• The Prisma Gorgon's high rate of fire makes it ammo inefficient. Rifle Ammo Mutation and/or Rifle Scavenger mods can be used to maintain a steady supply of ammo. Alternatively, use Team Ammo Restores to instantly replenish ammo. Due to its large ammo reserve capacity, Ammo Drum will also have a higher and more beneficial impact. You can also make use of the Carrier Sentinel equipped with Ammo Case.
• Adding Punch Through via Shred or Metal Auger can aid ammo efficiency when dealing with large groups of enemies, particularly the Infested.

TriviaEdit

• The Prisma Gorgon was leaked as an entry in the player Profile under Equipment before it was formally introduced.
• Parts of the Prisma Gorgon have animated textures to differentiate it from its previous variants.
  • The Prisma Gorgon also has modified firing sounds similar to a Prime weapon.
• The Prisma Gorgon's colors can be customized, a trait shared with its variants.
• The Prisma Gorgon was the first item to have the "Prisma" prefix in its name.
