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.. 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 twice as fast from an empty magazine. Zhuge Prime was released alongside Wukong Prime and Ninkondi Prime.

Notes
- Can be used on bow-only Sortie missions.
- Despite being capable of using the Thunderbolt mod, it has no effect due to the weapon's innate explosion.
- Enemies killed with the initial bolt are ragdolled and launched forward, dealing the same damage to other enemies in their path. In such cases, the explosion will not arm until the slain enemy's corpse strikes a wall, the floor, or any other piece of level geometry. The bolt will then create its detonation field at the point where the corpse 'lands'.
- Punch Through affects the location of the bolt explosions. The weapon's explosions are applied at the final point of contact where the bolt ends rather than whenever the bolt punches through an enemy or object.
Tips
- Adding Punch Through mods can cause Zhuge Prime's explosions to occur further away from the player, making it less likely to deal self-damage.
Trivia
Bugs
- The arsenal screen erroneously lists the weapon's Noise Level as "Alarming."
