Build it. The Perigale Prime offers high critical damage potential with its burst fire. Its main weakness is the burst fire mode, which can feel clunky for some players.

This primary weapon requires a Mastery Rank of 14 to wield. Its components are acquired from various Void Relics, making it a prime weapon to farm for.
The Perigale Prime boasts a high critical chance and critical multiplier, making it a strong contender for critical-focused builds.

Builds
Given its high critical chance of 0.32 and a critical multiplier of 2.6x, the Perigale Prime excels with a critical-focused build. While its status chance is 0.2, it can still benefit from some status application for elemental procs. The burst fire trigger means sustained fire can be challenging, but each burst delivers significant damage.
