WeaponNever Vaulted

Burston Prime

Never vaulted: its relics always stay in the mission drop tables.

Once thought lost to the ages, attempts to reengineer the Burston Prime never fully replicated this weapon's power and agility.

How To Farm Burston Prime

Optimal approach

  • Go for the Barrel first. Getting the required prime part takes the most runs at the given refinement making it the hardest to farm. Even then the part is not guaranteed (Pray to RNGesus!).
  • Best Relic to focus on is Meso V13.
  • With all four players opening Meso V13 at Radiant, you have a 59.04% chance per run vs 20.00% when running solo. So opening the same relic as a squad is always better.
  • After that: Blueprint from Meso D9 (25.33% per-player at Intact). Repeat farming and opening the relic until you have everything you need.

Refinement and radshares

  • Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Meso V13 while going for the Barrel. For squad odds, all four players must open that relic at Radiant. This increases your chances of getting the part.
  • As per the game odds, you can expect roughly 1 Radshare run for 50% odds of getting the required prime part, compared with about 4 solo runs.
  • Keep relics Intact for Common rewards. Radiant gives the highest chance for Uncommon and Rare rewards; use the refinement listed for each part in the farming plan. Never open Axi relics for rare parts solo, it's not worth it.
