Perigale Prime might finally bring some attention to what has long been one of Warframe’s most underrated single-target DPS powerhouses. There’s four Void Relics you have to farm for this, but two of the parts are common drops, so it’s not nearly as lengthy as the Voruna Prime Relic grind.

Now, on the other hand, the original Perigale still remains easy to farm. On top of that, Perigale has a surprisingly high Riven Disposition for how good it is.

So if you have a Riven mod for the non-Prime Perigale, stick with that one. Otherwise, the build shown in this article will serve the Primed variant even better, thanks to broadly superior stat spread.

All Perigale Prime Relics in Warframe

To get all the Perigale Prime parts and craft a full set, you’ll need multiples of the following Void Relics:

• Perigale Prime Blueprint – Common drop from Meso L4
• Perigale Prime Stock – Common drop from Axi C11
• Perigale Prime Receiver – Uncommon drop from Lith C14
• Perigale Prime Barrel – Rare drop from Neo P10

You can try your luck with the Relic Pack gamble and get lucky (i.e. buy out Relic Packs from the six neutral Syndicates and open-world Faction). Alternately, if you’re also farming Voruna Prime Relics, doing the known efficient farms for Lith, Meso, Neo, and Axi Relics one at a time is the most consistent way.

Perigale vs Perigale Prime stats

Perigale Prime is a meaningful upgrade over the original, with improvements across the stat sheet. Individually, we only have ~10-15% improved stats on everything: Crit stats, Status Chance, Base Damage, and overall better DPS.

The most significant improvement is that ammo economy will feel less punishing if you miss headshots, with 16 rounds per mag as opposed to 12. The only tradeoff here is the Riven Disposition, as we mentioned earlier. Perigale Prime, as a new entry into Warframe, sits at the lowest dispo (0.5x), while Perigale has improved across many patches to sit at a comfortable 1.15x.

Boss-hunting Perigale Prime build in Warframe (5- Forma)

Perigale Prime (as well as the original) unique triggers the Gale Force buff by hitting 4 headshots with its 4-round burst fire, and/or getting a headshot kill. This gives you 100% Ammo Efficiency for 4 seconds, meaning you never consume any ammo as long as you keep chaining headshots and/or headshot kills.

So this basically gives you the foundations of your Perigale Prime build on a silver platter. We go with Primary Acuity and ditch Multishot to just play on Headshots, and then some Fire Rate to spit out as much hot lead as we can when we trigger the buff.

Perigale Prime has the same forma setup as the original, so this build will work on either.

Mod Setup (and Forma guide)

• Unlock Exilus Slot, swap the Polarity with an empty slot to get a free V Forma. Optionally, you can place Viiglante Supplies here.
• Galvanized Scope (V Forma swapped in from Exilus)
• Primary Acuity (Dash Forma)
• Infected Clip (Dash Forma)
• Primed Cryo Rounds (D Forma)
• Magnetic Capacity (V Forma, default)
• Vital Sense (V Forma)
• Galvanized Aptitude (D Forma)
• Primed Shred (V Forma, Default)

With the Galvanized Aptitude gun-CO, you want a primer to go with it in order to melt bosses. The meta option these days is to have your companion take care of that for you, the best ways being Diriga (Arc Coil) or Hound (Synergized Prospectus) with Manifold Bond.

The reason to opt for raw damage instead of trying to get viral status chance is making Perigale’s unique advantage against damage-attenuation bosses even greater. It has high burst-DPS potenital, which can often chunk boss, Acolyte, or Lich HP before attenuation starts to kick in. Afterwards, the high fire rate will hopefully make short work of whatever is left.

If you have a Riven for the original Perigale, Magnetic Capcity should be the one to replace (re-Forma as needed). The best stats are raw damage, Fire Rate, and Critical Damage with a harmless negative like Impact or DTI.
