Acquisition[edit | edit source]

The Prisma Obex is potentially sold by Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay for 175,000‍175,000 and 500‍500. 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 10.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Slide attack does not involve spinning, but rather causes the Warframe to perform a handspring, finishing with a kick that sends enemies flying, ragdolling them.
Most quick attacks with this weapon will count as headshots, even while not aiming for the head. This substantially increases damage over what would be expected from just the stats of the weapon.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Obex is Latin for "Barrier".
While meleeing in long succession, the Prisma Obex generates two spheres of energy around that can last about 5 seconds, depending on how long the user attacks. This process also produces flames in each hand.
Sugatras appear four times when placed on this weapon, one for each hand and foot.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

Using the jump attack to knock down an enemy who is in the midst of attempting to initiate a lockdown has a tendency to cause a lockdown to occur immediately.
When equipped with the Loki Knave Skin, it doesn't appear at all.
