CODEX
The Gorgon Wraith is a powerful variant of its precursor that features unique styling.

The **Gorgon Wraith** is the Wraith upgrade to the Gorgon, featuring a slight increase in damage, accuracy, and fire rate, while sacrificing  and  damage. Compared to the Prisma Gorgon, it does slightly more damage per hit but has generally lower stats. It is a powerful Grineer light machine gun with a rapid fire rate and a huge magazine.

This weapon was a reward for the Tethra's Doom event and came with its own slot and Orokin Catalyst. This weapon was also awarded in the Infested Nightmares Bonus Weekend's "Survive or DIE alert", but did not come with an Orokin Catalyst installed (it also did not come with a free inventory slot initially; this was quickly patched).

The Gorgon Wraith's blueprint and components are available by defeating the Razorback during a Razorback Armada event.

This weapon can be sold for 7,500File:Credits64.png‍ **7,500**.

This was a very short-lived bug, but dissemination of information on the forum allowed many users to learn of and exploit this bug before DE quickly corrected it. The parts and weapon were not removed from users' inventories.
* Acquirable during the Razorback Armada event, with its barrel, blueprint, receiver and stock available as drops from killing Razorback.

## Weapon Loadouts

* See Category:Conclave:Gorgon Wraith Guides for guides on how to use this weapon effectively.

## Tips

* The Gorgon is exceptionally useful to fight the Jackal or any other enemy that requires sustained damage.
* After the spool up time, it is possible to use the Gorgon in quick short bursts, allowing you to keep up the high rate of fire, but with less recoil and less bullets wasted, making the Gorgon usable at medium to long ranges.
* You can retain the "charge" of the fire rate by sprinting. This way the weapon stops shooting but as long as you keep LMB  held down, the fire rate will not reset and the weapon will resume fast firing once you stop sprinting.
* Use the {{#vardefine:Name|Rifle Ammo Mutation}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found mod or the Carrier Sentinel equipped with {{#vardefine:Name|Ammo Case}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found to compensate for lost ammo due to the weapons high rate of consuming ammunition on full spool.
* Speed Trigger decreases the charge time considerably, though the increased maximum fire rate causes the weapon to burn through ammo reserves extremely quickly and cause more misses as the recoil throws bullets out more. Consider firing in bursts.
* Compared to the Prisma variant, the Wraith has a better status chance, which allows it to remove armor from Grineer which allows it to surpass the Prisma Gorgon despite higher damage numbers. Against Grineer with no armor or almost any other faction however, the Prisma will produce more reliable damage.

## Trivia

* The Gorgon Wraith is the second Primary Wraith weapon ever released, following the Strun Wraith.
* The Gorgon Wraith only has an upgrade in stats and comes with no default polarities.
* The Gorgon Wraith can use both the Desert Tactics skin and the Day of the Dead skin.
