About Gauss Prime
Gauss Prime increases shields from 455 to 550 at rank 30, pushes sprint speed from 1.4 to 1.5 and adds a polarity. For a frame whose kit rewards constant movement, the extra speed matters.
He came out with Acceltra Prime and Akarius Prime, and his blueprint and parts are Void Relic drops. Pair him with those weapons to keep the reload bonus while sprinting.
Gauss Prime was added with Hotfix 35.0.9 (January 2024).
Gauss Prime is currently in the Prime Vault.
