How to get the Tekko Prime
- The Tekko 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.
- Gauntlet: Lith A5, Lith T4, Meso N9, Meso T5, Meso W1 and 3 more (vaulted relics).
- Blade: Meso T6, Neo T2, Axi T6, Axi T7 (vaulted relics; the rare slot in Meso T6, Neo T2).
- Blueprint: Lith L2, Lith P5, Meso E4, Meso V8, Neo B7 (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 parts, then the weapon: 12 hours each, or rush with platinum.
Check the Relic finder for live odds per refinement; the set price on this page is what the built set trades for on warframe.market.

The Tekko Prime stands as a formidable melee weapon, particularly for players who enjoy hybrid builds and those who main Atlas or Atlas Prime. Its high status chance and base damage allow for significant damage scaling, making it effective against a wide range of enemies. Despite being vaulted, its power justifies the effort in acquiring its components.
