CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.

Advantages:

• High Slash and Puncture damage – effective against health and armor.
• Tied with normal Soma, Telos Boltor, and Prisma Gorgon for the second highest critical chance of all fully automatic rifles, behind Battacor and Acceltra.
• Tied with normal Soma, Rubico/ Rubico Prime, Attica, and Baza for the second highest critical multiplier of all primary weapons, behind semi-auto Tiberon Prime, and tied with Attica, and Baza for the highest critical multiplier of all fully automatic rifles.
• Very high fire rate.
• High accuracy.
• Fastest spool-up of all auto spool rifles, with optimal fire rate and accuracy achieved after a spool-up period of five bullets.
• Large magazine size and ammo reserves.
• Innate two polarities.

Disadvantages:

• Tied with normal Soma for the second lowest damage of all rifles, after Grakata; very reliant on its high critical damage potential.
  • Ill-suited against Object-based health as it nullifies any critical hits.
• Low Impact damage – less effective against shields.
• High fire rate generates high recoil, hindering accuracy.
• Low reload speed.
• Sub-optimal ammo efficiency.

Comparisons:

• Soma Prime, compared to Soma:
  • Higher status chance (10% vs. 7%)
  • Larger magazine (200 rounds vs. 100 rounds)
  • Larger max ammo capacity (800 rounds vs. 540 rounds)
  • Faster spool-up (5 rounds vs. 8 rounds)
  • Higher Mastery Rank required (7 vs. 6)

TipsEdit

• A critical focused build using  Point Strike,  Argon Scope and/or  Critical Delay combined with  Vital Sense,  Bladed Rounds, and/or  Hammer Shot is the best way to mod this weapon to take advantage of its high critical chance to increase its otherwise meager base damage.
  • If you are low on slots,  Point Strike,  Vital Sense, and  Bladed Rounds provide the most overall increase in DPS.
• Firing in short bursts and landing headshots will significantly increase its efficiency.
• Reload time can be shortened by using a melee attack or dodge roll when the reload timer reaches about 3/4. This works because, like many older weapons, the magazine is updated at this time instead of at the end, making the remaining time extraneous.
• Due to the weapon's high rate-of-fire combined with its low base damage, the Soma Prime can be ammo inefficient. Using  Rifle Ammo Mutation and/or  Rifle Scavenger can be used to recover a steady supply of ammo. Alternatively, ammo can be instantly replenished using Squad Ammo Restores. Additionally, Carrier's  Ammo Case mod grants more reserve ammo and turns unused ammo drops into ammo for equipped weapons.
  • The Soma Prime's high ammo consumption makes  Critical Delay a good option for it, as the mod enhances critical chance while slowing down rate of fire, thus improving its ammo efficiency.

TriviaEdit

• The Soma Prime was one of the first prime items which had colorable gold parts. This trait was shared with the Vasto Prime, Nova Prime and the Pyra Prime Syandana.
• The ring-like formation through which the Warframe holds the weapon with their left hand rotates while firing, making this one of the few primary weapons that have firing animations.
  • Like its non-prime version, the Soma Prime's magazine passes up through its receiver as it fires, with the portion of the magazine consumed indicating the amount of ammo left.
• The Soma Prime is also the only Primed weapon in the game that keeps its original counterpart's base damage.
