(Where it sits)

Across the 117 frames in the roster, Gauss Prime sits in the top fifteen per cent for shield (13th of 117).

It ships with 3 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Passive)

Moving generates an electrical current that fills Gauss' battery. Shields recharge up to _% faster while the Recharge Delay is up to _% shorter, based on the battery level.

(Abilities)

  1. 01

    Mach Rush 15 energy

    Burst into a hyper-sprint bowling over enemies and charging the battery. Crashing into solid objects generates a powerful shockwave. Hold to rush continuously.

    Augment: Mach Crash

  2. 02

    Kinetic Plating 50 energy

    Generate armor plating that converts a portion of absorbed Kinetic Damage (Physical, Heat, Cold, and Blast) into Energy. Also protects Gauss from being staggered or knocked down. Damage Resistance is relative to the battery level.

  3. 03

    Thermal Sunder 50 energy Subsumable

    Siphon kinetic energy from the area, charging the battery and inflicting Cold Status on nearby enemies. Hold reverses the process, draining the battery and inflicting Heat Status on nearby enemies.

    Augment: Thermal Transfer

  4. 04

    Redline 100 energy

    Push Gauss' battery beyond the redline, supercharging his Abilities and setting Fire Rate, Attack Speed, Reload Speed, and Casting Speed into overdrive. When past the redline, bolts of arcing electricity dance periodically from Gauss, exploding en masse when the ability is deactivated.

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

Gauss Prime comes out of Void relics — 30 of them across its 4 parts. It is in the Vault: those relics no longer drop, so the only routes left are a player who already holds them and the occasional unvaulting.

In the Vault — the relics below are not in the current drop tables.

Chances are per reward roll, as the drop tables state them. Relic rows show the chance at each refinement; a relic drops Intact.
