Soma Prime
Prime Weapon Farming Guide
Known for taking down whole squads with its single massive magazine, few weapons were as feared as the Prime Soma.
"Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die."
Soma Prime is Vaulted. It moved into the vault on November 22, 2016, but can appear during Prime Resurgence events. 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.
