Corinth Prime

The Corinth Prime is the primed variant of the shotgun with improved status chance, magazine size, buckshot fire rate, and air burst damage and explosion radius. The air burst no longer has a set range before exploding allowing it to damage enemies from farther away, but in turn no longer has a delayed fuse and must be manually detonated with Alternate Fire. Instead of individual rounds, the weapon reloads the entire magazine at once with a slower reload speed. Corinth Prime was released alongside and .
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily damage on its primary fire and damage on its alt-fire.

*Alternate Fire launches a grenade that creates a 9.8 meter area of effect explosion after remotely detonated with Alternate Fire.
**Physical contact with the grenade has a guaranteed proc.
**Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
**Consumes 4 ammunition per shot.
*Innate two and one polarities.
*Air Burst Explosion:
**Higher base damage (2200.00 vs. 404.00)

===Vaultings===
*On March 28th, 2022, Corinth Prime, along with and , entered the Prime Vault and were retired from the reward tables. Any preexisting components or fully-built items will remain as is.
==Notes==
*The Air Burst is fired using Alternate Fire, and then manually detonated with Alternate Fire again. It will not explode if hitting a surface, an enemy or a corpse.
*Modding the Corinth Prime with Punch Through does not allow the grenades to pass through enemies or objects.
*The grenade does explode on its own, but only after traveling about 90 meters in its 2 second lifespan. Improving Projectile Speed will increase the distance it will travel before exploding on its own and vice versa if flight speed is reduced the grenade will explode closer to the player.
**Reducing flight speed will also decrease the minimum and maximum ranges in which falloff occurs on the normal fire, which is not recommended.
*Corinth Prime has a different reload animation, unlike its regular counterpart. In this case, similar to reloading a magazine in general.
** Because Corinth Prime has slower reload speed than its regular counterpart, equipping a skin may result in sluggish reload animation on their respective skin.
==Tips==
*While direct hits from the Alternate Fire deal significantly reduced damage, the guaranteed proc can be used to momentarily stun a priority target, allowing for a follow-up shot.
*An efficient way of using the weapon's Alternate Fire is by detonating it slightly overhead enemies. Aiming overhead reduces the chance of the shells prematurely hitting anything and wasting potentially powerful crowd control.
*'s halves the distance that the grenade has to travel before an explosion.
*The sound of the pump action when chambering the last shell in the magazine is noticeably different, providing an audible warning that reloading will be required.
*The Corinth's alt-fire can effectively set up enemies for finishers. This makes it useful when accompanied by any melee weapon with .
* works very well on this weapon, giving it a damage boost and also giving the primary fire some much needed punch through to deal with multiple enemies with a single shot, resulting in more kills per full reload, and conservation of ammo. 
==Trivia==
*The barrel is shaped like a Void Key.
*In antiquity, Corinth was a Greek city-state and is currently the capital city of the Corinthia region.
**Though the use of the city-state's name bears no direct reference, Ancient Corinth was involved in the Trojan War and among its participants was Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca.
*Corinth Prime is famously featured during the TennoCon/2021 showcase of The New War, when the Grineer soldier Kahl-175 plucked the gun off a fallen to fend off Sentient enemies at the final leg of his playthrough.
**The shotgun ultimately appeared in the actual gameplay.
