Build it. The Baza Prime offers exceptional accuracy and critical damage, making it a reliable primary weapon. Its main drawback is poor ammo economy.
This weapon is Silent, allowing for stealth usage.
The Baza Prime is the Prime variant of the Baza silenced submachine gun, offering significant improvements over its base model. These enhancements include higher Critical Chance, Status Chance, Magazine Size, and reserve ammo, along with faster Reload Speed and extended Damage Falloff range.
This weapon deals primarily Puncture Damage and is notable for its very high accuracy per shot, even at full auto, and negligible recoil. Its silent nature also makes it suitable for stealth missions.
The Baza Prime is tied with other automatic rifles for the highest Critical Multiplier and boasts the fastest Reload Speed among fully automatic rifles. However, it has one of the lowest base damages, relying heavily on its critical damage potential.
How to get the Baza Prime
- The Baza Prime is vaulted: its relics no longer drop in missions. Open relics you already own, buy them for Aya when Prime Resurgence lists it, or buy the parts for platinum.
- Receiver: Lith K7, Meso C6, Meso E4, Meso P2, Neo R3 and 3 more (vaulted relics).
- Barrel: Lith A4, Lith S10, Lith W2, Neo I3, Neo N15 and 2 more (vaulted relics).
- Stock: Lith B9, Meso B6, Neo B7, Axi B3 (vaulted relics; the rare slot in Lith B9, Meso B6).
- Blueprint: Lith B7, Lith B8, Meso B4, Meso B5, Axi B4 and 1 more (vaulted relics; the rare slot in Lith B7, Lith B8).
- Run the fissure tier that matches each relic, refine the rare part’s relic to Radiant, and pick the best of the four results with a squad.
- Build the parts, then the weapon: 12 hours each, or rush with platinum.
