Strun Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.
Strun Prime is the Primed variant of the 
Strun. In addition to being a direct upgrade, it has gained innate punch through and longer damage falloff range, but at the expense of slower reload speed. It was released alongside 
Nidus Prime and 
Magnus Prime.

Notes
Incarnon Genesis
- Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn
Strun Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Strun with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength.
Evolution
This section is transcluded from Strun Incarnon Genesis § Evolutions. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.
Tips
- Because of the need to reload the magazine one shot at a time, the Strun Prime has an extremely slow reload speed before reaching maximum ammo capacity. It can therefore benefit from things that help economize its loaded ammo such as
Energized Munitions, or those that bypass its reloading mechanism such as from 
Garuda's 
Bloodletting with the 
Blood Forge augment, to maintain the weapon's otherwise generally high overall DPS output potential.

Patch History
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Ammo Changes
We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.
Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.
Primary Weapon Ammo Pick Up Overrides
15 Ammo per Pick Up:
- Strun Prime
Update 30.7 (2021-09-08)
- Introduced.
