“Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die.”
Zhuge 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.
The Zhuge Prime is a primed variant of the 
Zhuge Tenno automatic crossbow, with higher critical chance, fire rate, magazine size, and altered damage that favors Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., but with less reserve ammo. To compensate for its decrease in total damage, status chance, and reload speed, the bolts fired by the Zhuge Prime explode shortly after impact, and reloads faster from an empty magazine. Zhuge Prime was released alongside 
Wukong Prime and 
Ninkondi Prime.
