Weapon dossier
A golden shotgun, forged for those who deliver judgment. Built as a shotgun / close-range clear option for squad clear and mission pressure.
Cedo Prime is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.
Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.
Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.
Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.
Prime polarities help, but expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.
Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).
Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.
Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.
Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.
Unique rolled mod. Disposition 0.55.
Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.
The standard version of this weapon — easier to farm, softer stats.
Use when you don’t want to chase Prime relics yet.
Common building blocks for this gun — not a full ranked build, just the mods you’ll see most often.

Core multishot for pellet weapons.
Crit Chance
Common crit-chance option on shotguns.
Crit Damage
Crit damage for pellet crit builds.
Status Damage
Status-scaling damage on kill stacks.
Point Blank / Primed Point Blank
Base Damage
Shotgun damage foundation.
Elemental dual-stats
Elemental
Viral/Heat or Radiation lines for Steel Path.
Keeps magazines flowing on heavy pellet guns.
Hybrid
Faction/elemental hybrids when they fit the build.
Multishot → Crit (if crit-viable) → Elemental → QoL ammo/reload.
| Mission / Context | Rating | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Cedo Prime still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. | |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Use Cedo Prime when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes. | |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Hold objectives by deleting approach packs with Cedo Prime, then reposition. | |
| Open World / Long Sightlines | Long sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee. | |
| Solo Boss / Single-Target | Fine if Cedo Prime has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon. |
