How To Get The Prime?
The Prime can be purchased from Reisha Lance in the Laredo Arms, which can be found in Akila City (Planet Akila) in the Cheyenne system.
You can find Laredo Arms by turning right as you enter the city and continuing forward until you find their shop at the side.
Speak with Reisha Lance to see what she has for sale and you will be able to find The Prime, which can be purchased for 21730 Credits.
Verdict
The Prime is a powerful weapon thanks to the high amount of damage that it deals but with its Elemental Perk, different elemental damage types can help with tougher enemies.
Each time The Prime is fired, a random elemental damage type can trigger and this can happen continuously if you are lucky enough.
All in all, this variant of the Razorback is a great weapon to have for any gunslinger, especially when you have modified it further.
