CODEX

When bathed in void energy and Prisma crystal, the simple Tetra becomes a beacon of style and intimidation.

The Prisma Tetra is the Prisma variant of the Tetra Tetra, featuring higher damage, fire rate, status and critical stats.

Characteristics

• This weapon deals primarily Puncture Damage Puncture damage.
  • Good Puncture Damage Puncture damage – effective against armor.

Advantages

• High status chance.
• Can use the Tetra-exclusive Focused Acceleration Focused Acceleration and Kinetic Ricochet Kinetic Ricochet mods.

Disadvantages:

• Projectiles have travel time.
• Low critical chance.
• Low accuracy.

Comparisons:

• Prisma Tetra (Normal), compared to Tetra (Normal):
  • Higher base damage per projectile (38 vs. 32)
    • Higher Impact Damage Impact damage (7.6 vs. 6.4)
    • Higher Puncture Damage Puncture damage (30.4 vs. 25.6)
  • Higher total damage (38 vs. 32)
  • Higher base critical chance (10% vs. 4%)
  • Higher base critical multiplier (2x vs. 1.5x)
  • Higher base status chance (24% vs. 20%)
  • Higher average damage per shot (41.8 vs. 32.64)
  • Higher burst DPS (295.94 vs. 217.71)
  • Higher sustained DPS (239.44 vs. 178.11)
  • Higher fire rate (7.08 round(s)/sec vs. 6.67 round(s)/sec)
  • Higher Mastery Rank required (4 vs. 3)
  • Lower disposition (1.45 vs. 1.5)

Acquisition

The Prisma Tetra is potentially sold by Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay for 50,000 Credits 50,000 and 400 Ducats 400. 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 4.

Tips

• With a large portion (80%) of its total damage relying on Puncture Damage Puncture, it is somewhat more viable to equip Piercing Caliber Piercing Caliber than with most weapons.
  • Similarly, due to the fact that the Tetra has no Slash Damage Slash damage, Sawtooth Clip Sawtooth Clip and Fanged Fusillade Fanged Fusillade are completely useless.

Trivia

• The Prisma Tetra is the first Corpus weapon to have the "Prisma" prefix.
• Fourth lowest fire rate of all fully automatic rifles, after Tetra Tetra, Buzlok Buzlok, and Panthera Panthera.
