Prime Warframe Farming Guide
Quicksilver takes form. Gauss Prime brooks no talk of defeat.
"Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die."
Gauss Prime is Vaulted. Players looking to obtain it have to trade with other players for the relics or the parts. For more efficient runs, you can purchase the rare relics and run a radiant group.

Warframe Abilities
Mach Rush
Burst into a hyper-sprint bowling over enemies and charging the battery. Crashing into solid objects generates a powerful shockwave. Hold to rush continuously.
Kinetic Plating
Generate armor plating that converts a portion of absorbed Kinetic Damage (Physical, <DT_FIRE_COLOR>Heat, <DT_FREEZE_COLOR>Cold, and <DT_EXPLOSION_COLOR>Blast) into Energy. Also protects Gauss from being staggered or knocked down. Damage Resistance is relative to the battery level.
Thermal Sunder
Siphon kinetic energy from the area, charging the battery and inflicting <DT_FREEZE_COLOR>Cold Status on nearby enemies. Hold reverses the process, draining the battery and inflicting <DT_FIRE_COLOR>Heat Status on nearby enemies.
Redline
Push Gauss' battery beyond the redline, supercharging his Abilities and setting Fire Rate, Attack Speed, Reload Speed, and Casting Speed into overdrive. When past the redline, bolts of arcing electricity dance periodically from Gauss, exploding en masse when the ability is deactivated.

The Primed variants offer improved stats over the base versions, and most importantly better armor which is what we call truly end-game.

Optimal Approach:
- Focus on rare items first as they are the hardest to obtain. Use groups to increase chances.
- Accumulate Void Traces and run upgraded relics for better rewards.
- You can use recruitment chat to find "Radiant Share" groups.
Refinement Tips:
- Always refine relics to Radiant for the Rare items.
- Exceptional is a good balance for Uncommon (Silver) items.
- Save Void Traces by keeping relics Intact for Common items. Use the drop percentages to decide what to do.
