The Prisma Gorgon can be purchased off Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the TennoRelay for 50,000 50,000 and 600. Note that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and this weapon may not be available on a succeeding appearance.
Unranked Prisma Gorgons without Forma and Orokin Catalysts can be traded between players.
Notes[]
While the Prisma Gorgon has the same vertical recoil behavior as the Gorgon and the Gorgon Wraith, it has significantly reduced horizontal recoil, which combined with its higher accuracy stats makes it overall more accurate at longer ranges.
The Prisma Gorgon gains an additional 5% critical chance and a boost in critical damage, at the cost of having 10% less status chance compared to the Wraith variant (and the same compared to the normal Gorgon). This makes it mildly suitable for a critical build.
Tips[]
Like the Gorgon and the Gorgon Wraith, the Prisma Gorgon has a spool-down period in which it can retain its maximum rate of fire after releasing the trigger. Firing the weapon to maximum rate of fire, releasing the trigger and then firing before the spool-down period finishes allows the weapon to be fired in short bursts.
Firing in bursts is essential for conserving ammo when used against groups of weaker enemies. Reserve using sustained full-auto fire at maximum spool for larger, tougher targets like Napalms and Techs.
Speed Trigger and/or Shred speeds up the rate of fire, which subsequently reduces the time needed to spool up to maximum fire rate. Doing so will hasten the rate at which the weapon consumes ammo however.
The Prisma Gorgon's high rate of fire makes it ammo inefficient. Rifle Ammo Mutation and/or Rifle Scavenger mods can be used to maintain a steady supply of ammo. Alternatively, use Team Ammo Restores to instantly replenish ammo. Due to its large ammo reserve capacity, Ammo Drum will also have a higher and more beneficial impact.
Adding punch-through via Shred or Metal Auger can aid ammo efficiency when dealing with mobs.
Trivia[]
The Prisma Gorgon was leaked as an entry in a player's Profile under Equipment before it was formally introduced.
Parts of the Prisma Gorgon have animated textures to differentiate it from its previous variants.
The Prisma Gorgon also has modified firing sounds similar to a Prime weapon.
Unlike the Mara Detron which was another Void Trader weapon, the Prisma Gorgon can be equipped with the Grineer Desert Tactics Camo and Day of the Dead Skins.
The Prisma Gorgon's colors can be customized, unlike the Gorgon Wraith, which requires a skin to do so.
