The all-elemental boomstick.

Our Cedo Prime build for Warframe is going to be quite an interesting one. This sho༒tgun is a beast, being ✱an elemental primer and a crit machine.

With all that said, here’s a build to use for it along with good Warframes to get the most out of this we꧑apon.

Best Cedo Prime build in Warframe

This build will focus on its strengths since the secondary glaive fire is excellent for crowd control and priming targets for increased damage per sꦫtatus effect. To sta💞rt, use this mod setup:

  • Galvanized Hell
  • Atomic Fallout
  • Critical Deceleration / Blunderbuss
  • Frigid Blast
  • Primed Ravage
  • Hunter Munitions
  • Toxic Barrage
  • Blaze
  • Exilus: Galvanized Acceleration

This m🐎od setup might seem weird with the absence of a damage mod like Point Blank or Primed Point Blank. However, because of this wea🔯pon’s unique ability, you receive 60% additional damage for each status effect on the target you’re shooting.

With your weapon innately doing puncture damage, the addition of Radiation, Heat, Viral, and Slash (from Hunter Munitions) incr🍎eases your damage by 300%. This doesn’t even account for the other three elements proceed by the secondary fire of the Cedo Prime.

Arcane

  • Primary Blight

Primary Blight is the better choice because if you spam the secondary fire of the❀ Cedo Prime, every enemy hit by the glaive is guaranteed to be afflicted with a Toxin status effect. At max rank, this then gives your weapon an additional 144warfr% critical damage and 72% multishot.

The critical damage is huge for your primary fire while the multishoꦍt can help spread status effects more as it affects how many glaives you shoot.

Cedo Prime playstyle

The best way to play 𓂃the Cedo Prime is by first shooting its secondary fire into a group of enemies. Each one will be affected by at least six different status effects, increasing the damage dealt to them.

Because Atomic Fallout is in this build,𒉰 you’re also providing a lot of crowd control, making enemies fight one another. This makes it easier for you to survive if you get overwhelmed by mobs of enemies.

After firing your glaive, start shooting enemies affected by all these stacks of stꦇatuses to essentially kill them in a few 🍰hits. 

It could be a bit disorienting to see the glaive bounce around in different colors, blowing up on enemies and occasionally making you stumble. It’s advised to use this before going into a group of enemies, or better yet, 💎having a mod ♑like Primed Sure Footed to prevent that.

Best Warframes for the Cedo Prime

Aside from Lavos and Lavos Prime being the better can𓄧didates for this weap💟on, these other frames can put in some serious work with the shotgun:

  • Chroma (Prime)
  • Citrine
  • Cyte-09
  • Frost (Prime)
  • Garuda (Prime)
  • Harrow (Prime)
  • Koumei
  • Mag (Prime)
  • Mirage (Prime)
  • Nidus (Prime)
  • Nova (Prime)
  • Saryn (Prime)
  • Vauban (Prime)
  • Yareli

All of these frames pair well with the weapon either because thജey can inflict status effects of their own, giving your Cedo Prim🎉e more damage, or because they have some ability to buff up or make better use of the secondary fire altogether.

This weapon is very versatile as a mobber and bosser, being unrivaled to most other shotguns in Warframe.
