The Zakti Prime is the Primed variant of the 
Zakti, with improvements to radial damage, critical chance, critical multiplier, status chance, explosion radius, and magazine size, and significantly lowered recoil, at some expense to reload speed. Zakti Prime was released alongside 
Nezha Prime and 
Guandao Prime.

Patch History[]
Update 33.0 (2023-04-26)
- Changed the Synth Charge Mod to now apply to the following weapons:
- Zakti Prime
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Ammo Changes
We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.
Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.
Secondary Weapon Ammo Pick Up Overrides
20 Ammo per Pick Up:
- Zakti Prime
- Headshot Damage Changes
During playtesting, the ammo changes alone weren’t enough to significantly change things for AoE weapons. So instead of tightening these values to be overly restrictive, we chose to address other factors that make these weapons so strong, such as headshot damage.
Our approach here is two-fold, to reduce the impact of headshots for AOE weapons, but to also make precision headshots pack a larger punch overall.
- Radial damage no longer gains extra headshot damage or triggers headshot conditions.
- This is primarily targeted at the Ignis Wraith - as a “flamethrower” weapon, it’s hard to imagine a blanket of elements being precise enough to target weak points specifically. Explosive projectiles themselves can still land headshots, so there is still a reason to aim with most weapons for maximum damage.
Update 30.1 (2021-04-29)
- Reduced the range of Self Stagger from the Zakti Prime area-of-effect.
Update 29.3 (2020-10-27)
- Introduced.
