There are dozens of weapons that Warframe players want to incorporate into their builds. However, one of the most coveted is Latron Prime, a versatile rifle that can make mincemeat of enemies as long as it’s paired with the right setup.
Getting a build right in Warframe is tricky. Players must consider the Warframe they’re running, its abilities, and especially the weapons it’s using. Even the mastery level of these weapons and the mods a player is running can impact how good a build is. Getting into the nitty gritty though, the right Latron Prime build will ascend any Warframe build to a level that sees players annihilate their foes.

This is the best build for Latron Prime at the time of writing. All of these mods combined make for a weapon that can apply multiple status effects, slowing and damaging enemies. Then, those enemies will be more exposed to critical damage because a player’s chance of landing a critical shot is through the roof with this weapon in hand. This build is fantastic for Revenant Prime because they’re both top of the line and will make any activity feel simple.

As should be easy to see with this build, it’s all in the follow-up attacks. Initial hits damage and weaken enemies, but the devastation comes in everything that follows. There’s even space for companions to help rip apart foes with added efficiency. Wisp Prime would make good use of this build thanks to its speed.

- Rifle Mod: Vile Acceleration – +90% fire Rate (doubled for Bows). -15% Damage.

This build is a disgusting way to force foes to fall to damage that players barely even think about dealing. Status effects and mods buff players to the point where they only need to look at an enemy with Latron and they’ll drop to the floor. This build would work well with a Warframe such as Grendel Prime.
