Mod it, do not build around it. The Prime Laser Rifle comes free with Wyrm Prime: 55 damage at 20 percent crit is a plinker that finishes what you leave behind. Rifle mods fit; give it Corrosive and Heat and forget it.
The first Primed robotic weapon; it comes with Wyrm Prime, whose Crowd Dispersion and Negate precepts are why you run the sentinel.
The Prime Laser Rifle is the signature weapon of the Wyrm Prime Sentinel, offering improved damage over its standard counterpart. It is the first Primed robotic weapon and notable for having ‘Prime’ as a prefix.
This automatic rifle primarily deals Puncture damage, making it somewhat effective against armored targets. Its projectiles are visually distinct with a golden-yellow hue.
Despite its ‘Prime’ designation, the weapon’s base statistics are quite low, limiting its combat utility in higher-level content. It functions more as a companion accessory than a primary damage dealer.
How to get the Prime Laser Rifle
- Prime Laser Rifle comes with Wyrm Prime: build the sentinel and the weapon arrives with it. Wyrm Prime is vaulted: open relics you already own, buy them for Aya when Prime Resurgence lists it, or buy the sentinel parts for platinum.
- Carapace: Axi L1, Axi L4 (vaulted relics).
- Blueprint: Neo E1, Neo V8, Axi S2 (vaulted relics).
- Systems: Meso E1, Meso O3 (vaulted relics).
- Cerebrum: Lith G2, Lith O2 (vaulted relics).
- 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 sentinel parts, then Wyrm Prime; the Prime Laser Rifle is in the sentinel’s blueprint, with its own slot and no extra crafting.
Check the Relic finder for live odds; the set price on this page is what the built Wyrm Prime set trades for on warframe.market. The weapon itself is untradeable.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Automatically acquired with Wyrm Prime
- First Primed robotic weapon
- Unique golden-yellow projectiles
- High Riven Disposition
- Primarily deals Puncture damage
Cons
- Very low base stats
- Limited combat effectiveness
- Untradable
- Occupies a companion inventory slot
The Prime Laser Rifle is a unique piece of Warframe history and a cosmetic accompaniment to Wyrm Prime. While its stats are too low for serious combat, its high Riven Disposition offers a glimmer of potential for dedicated players. For most, it will remain a novelty rather than a go-to weapon.
