Paris Prime

Discovered deep inside an ancient Orokin derelict, the Paris Prime increases the kinetic energy of any bolt it fires, dealing more damage than its more common counterpart. Built as a bow / projectile precision option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Paris Prime is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

When to Pick

• You want a Bow that fits a bow / projectile precision play pattern.
• Your loadout needs what Paris Prime does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
• You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

• Orokin CatalystCapacity

  Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.

  Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.

• FormaPolarity

  Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.

  Prime polarities help, but expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

• Exilus Weapon AdapterSlot

  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.

• Primary Arcane AdapterArcane

  Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

  Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

• Riven ModRiven

  Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.35.

  Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

• ParisVariant

  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.

• Galvanized Chamber

  Multishot

  Core multishot — usually the first damage slot.

• Serration

  Base Damage

  Flat rifle damage foundation — still the default +Damage slot under Galvanized suites.

• Critical Delay

  Crit Chance

  Strong crit-chance option; fire-rate trade is often acceptable.

• Vital Sense

  Crit Damage

  Standard crit-damage multiplier.

• Galvanized Scope

  Crit / Headshots

  Excellent when you can keep headshots; optional for pure spray.

• Rifle Elementalist

  Status Damage

  Boosts elemental DoTs once procs are in the build.

• Elemental dual-stats

  Elemental

  Viral + Heat or Corrosive + Heat for Steel Path.

• Vigilante Armaments

  Multishot / Set

  Budget multishot plus Vigilante set crit chance.

• Ammo Mutation / Magazine mods

  QoL

  Keeps long missions comfortable on hungry guns.

Multishot

Usually the highest value damage slot — more projectiles, more procs, more clear.

Critical

Stack crit chance/damage when the weapon’s crit stats justify a crit suite.

Elemental

Faction/elemental lines for Steel Path; Viral+Heat is a safe default on many guns.

Fire Rate

Fire rate raises DPS but burns ammo — pair with reload/ammo economy when needed.
