Vasto Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

This elegant rapid-fire revolver is the embodiment of superior Orokin craftsmanship.

Notes[]

Incarnon Genesis[]

Evolution[]

  • Installing the Vasto Incarnon Genesis requires 20 PathosClamp Pathos Clamps, 70 YaoShrub Yao Shrub, and 150 SaggenPearl Saggen Pearl.
  • When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;

Evolution I[]

  • Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
  • Rapidly empty a full magazine.
  • Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
  • Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 8 headshots will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
    • Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either Sonar130xWhite Sonar or Mod TT 20px Detect Vulnerability in places other than heads will have no effect either.
    • Headshots on corpses do not build charges.
    • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
  • Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Vasto's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 3 rounds to a maximum of 24. Once all ammunition is expended, the Vasto reverts to its normal form.
    • Due to its 6-round burst, Incarnon Form expends all its ammo after a maximum of 4 bursts from a full gauge.
      • Bursts can be interrupted by rolling to avoid wasting ammo.
    • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
    • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as EnergizedMunitions130xWhite Energized Munitions).
    • Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
  • Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

Evolution II[]

  • Unlock Challenge: Complete a solo mission with this weapon equipped.
  • Perk 1: Lone Gun:
    • Increase Damage by +66 (Vasto) / +24 (Prime).
    • With No Primary Equipped:
      • Increase Damage by +40
      • Increase Magazine Capacity by +14.
        • Increased Magazine Capacity does not affect Incarnon Form.
  • Perk 2: Deathtrap Trigger:
    • Increase Damage by +66 (Vasto) / +24 (Prime).
    • On Equip From Primary:
      • Increase Critical Chance by +30% for 3s.
      • Increase Critical Damage Multiplier by +2.2x (Vasto) / +0.8x (Prime) for 3s.

Evolution III[]

  • Unlock Challenge: Kill 100 enemies with this weapon's Incarnon Form.
  • Perk 1: Extended Volley:
    • Increase Magazine Capacity by +6.
      • Does not apply to Incarnon Form.
  • Perk 2: Marksman's Hand:
    • -50% Weapon Recoil.
  • Perk 3: Awakened Readiness:
    • +20% Magazine Reloaded per second when Holstered.
      • Does not apply to Incarnon Form's Magazine.

Evolution IV[]

  • Unlock Challenge: Kill 30 enemies while airborne.
  • Perk 1: Commodore's Fortune:
    • Increase Critical Chance by +16% (Vasto) / +18% (Prime).
  • Perk 2: Survivor's Edge:
    • Increase Critical Chance by +10%.
    • Increase Status Chance by +10%.
      • Status Chance increase for Incarnon Form is divided by the innate multishot, leading to a base Status Chance increase from 2.67% (Vasto) / 6.67% (Prime) to 4.34% (Vasto) / 8.34% (Prime).
  • Perk 3: Reaper's Plenty:
    • On Headshot: +100% Ammo Efficiency for 2s.
      • Does not apply to Incarnon Form.

Tips[]

  • The Vasto Prime has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it ideal for a Desecrating NekrosIcon272 Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.

Trivia[]

  • The Vasto Prime was one of the first Prime items which had colorable gold parts. This trait is shared with the SomaPrime Soma Prime, Nova PrimeIcon272 Nova Prime and the Pyra Prime Syandana.
    • Since Update 15.13 (2015-02-05), several other Prime items have since had this trait implemented.
  • With the introduction of Damage 2.0, the original Vasto Vasto along with Akvasto Akvasto became able to cut enemies due to its overwhelming slash damage. The Vasto Prime inherited this trait.
  • The Vasto Prime also bears a striking visual resemblance to the Enouy Revolver.

Patch History[]

Update 32.2 (2022-11-30)

SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON CHANGES

While reviewing the stats of some weapons with a semi-automatic mode, we noticed that certain weapons had an unsustainably high fire rate for most players. We adjusted the stats of the following semi-automatic weapons whose maximum potential was only being reached with the use of macros (to learn more about third-party use in Warframe visit our support article). Since not everyone is an avid macro user (within the boundaries allowed), we lowered fire rates to a more humanly achievable level and improved their damage or reload stats to compensate.
