Prime Warframes and weapons are enhanced versions of their regular counterparts, offering improved base stats and additional mod polarities. They are acquired through Void Relics.
Void Relics:
These are items that contain Prime parts. There are four tiers: Lith, Meso, Neo, and Axi. Each Relic has a list of possible rewards, categorized by rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare).
- Acquisition: Void Relics drop from various missions, including Fissure missions, Spy missions, and bounties.
- Refining: At the Void Relic Station in your Orbiter, you can spend Void Traces (obtained from Fissure missions) to refine a Relic. Refining increases the chance of getting rarer rewards.
Void Fissure Missions:
These are regular missions with a twist. As you play, enemies will drop Reactant. Collect 10 Reactant to 'open' your equipped Void Relic at the end of the mission. In a squad, each player opens their own Relic, and you can choose one of the four rewards offered by the squad.
Farming Strategy: Run Fissure missions with a squad, preferably with everyone bringing a refined Relic of the same type, to maximize your chances of getting the desired Prime part. Duplicate Prime parts can be traded for Ducats at a Void Trader (Baro Ki'Teer).
