Bronco Prime

Orokin Weapons Prime

CONCLAVE (PvP)

The Bronco Prime is the Primed variant of the shotgun sidearm  Bronco, featuring a higher base damage and magazine size at the cost of a lower fire rate and reload speed. The Bronco Prime was added into the game in Update 9.0 (2013-07-13).

This weapon can be sold for 5,000  5,000; it is also a requisite ingredient for  Akbronco Prime (x2).

Notes[]

• The Bronco Prime's high damage, high spread and high pellet count (with  Barrel Diffusion) make it a good crowd thinner and control tool, particularly against the Infested.
  • Using  Seeker is recommended to increase its capability against large groups of enemies.
•  Gunslinger (or  Lethal Torrent) and  Quickdraw may be valuable due to the low rate of fire and reload speed, to increase the time spent shooting.

Incarnon Genesis[]

• Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn  Bronco Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Bronco with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength.

Evolution[]

• Installing the Bronco Incarnon Genesis requires 20  Pathos Clamps, 70  Yao Shrubs, and 100  Nacreous Pebbles.
• When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
  • Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.

Evolution I[]

• Weakpoint hits charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
• Increase Range and Ricochet.
  • Incarnon Form has much higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance, and longer Damage Falloff ranges, at the expense of reduced base damage and Fire Rate.
  • Individual pellets now ricochet once to nearby enemies within 8 meters of the main target.
    • Modding for Punch Through and hitting multiple targets will create successive ricochets.
    •  Void Status Effect prevents ricochets from occurring.
• Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
• Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving weakpoints and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 40 weakpoints will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
  • Charges do not generate on the backpacks of most MOA variants, or vulnerability spots generated by  Sonar or  Detect Vulnerability in places other than actual weakpoints.
  • Weakpoints on corpses or Invulnerable targets do not build charges.
  • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
• Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Bronco's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 0.5 rounds to a maximum of 20 rounds. Once all ammunition is expended, the Bronco reverts to its normal form.
  • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
  • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as  Energized Munitions).
  • Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
• Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

Evolution II[]

• Unlock Challenge: Complete a solo mission with the Bronco equipped.
• Perk 1: Speeding Bullet:
  • Increase Damage by +36 (Bronco) / +30 (Prime).
  • With Sprint Speed 1.2 or Higher: +60% Projectile Speed.
    • The projectile speed bonus stacks additively with projectile speed mods such as  Lethal Momentum.
• Perk 2: Infused Shots:
  • Increase Damage by +20 (Bronco) / +16 (Prime).
  • On 50 Energy Spent: Increase Damage by +10 (Bronco) / +9 (Prime) for 10s. Stacks up to 4x.

Evolution III[]

• Perk 1: Kinetic Battle:
