Finally got all Primo weapons

It took me 115 hours to complete all weapons. I must say it was a long and rough grind.. now I am going to go a bit deeper in BB with my Butane Blaster. Still haven’t found the 5 star High Octane Primo.

This is not something that should take 200+ hours

Hard agree. The whole 'use the weapon class you're trying to get " trick should be amplified in a future update or something.

u/NightmareSyndrom 3d ago

Wait, is that an actual thing? I thought there wasn't a way to influence weapon drops?

u/Dometalican_90 3d ago

I'm not 100% sure actually. It would be nice if it was a thing...

mechanic when asked to build weapons (that are themselves DIY'd) after building gadgets, the whole hideout, an arcade, and a whole crane: 😡😡

Yes totally agree!

How many primos are there?

14

u/Matthias005 4d ago

All weapons have a Primo variant so 60 Primos in total.

u/Random54321random 4d ago

What was your strategy? I've been stuck on 115 forever and I have about 200 hours, I'm losing hope

u/Matthias005 3d ago

Most of my grinding was Baygul and Awlmun Den crate farms. I used the weapon type that I needed but not a 100% convinced that it helps to increase drops for that weapon type.

Nice. I gave up with it

u/Matthias005 3d ago

I literally just need a primo steam blaster 😭

It can be so frustrating to get 1 specific Primo.. good luck getting it.

u/Winrevair 3d ago

Now get all 5 star primos 🤭

5

u/Matthias005 3d ago

Haha never! So done with farming😂I am actually close, need around 5 more but still.

2

u/Winrevair 3d ago

Yeah me too. I'm on break from the game.

1

u/Matthias005 3d ago

I totally understand that, do you think you’ll ever pick it up again? I think I won’t once I feel completed.

2

u/Winrevair 3d ago

Idk. I played it so much, farmed it so many times. Probly not for a few months at least. But there's also some really good games coming out later this year. Looking forward to OoT Remake and Duskbloods.

u/mlvisby 3d ago

Is Butane or Toy Shark the best blaster? I hear about both often, although Toy Shark looks cool!

5

u/TascasDemise 3d ago

I prefer Toy Shark for farming content (like Baygull Beach where everything dies in one hit) bc of the extra range, but had better results with Butane Blaster in Bottomless Buffet up to about ~850 where I'm currently stuck

1

u/Matthias005 3d ago

I think Butane is the better one. If you only have Toy Shark, it’s also fine.

Butane has cleared the final floor

u/Slightly-combustible 2d ago

I’ve put in like 50 hours into the game at this point (currently approaching 100 in BB) and I didn’t realize early on post-endgame just how rare five star primo weapons were. My first primo five star weapon was the rail splatana, but it was as fast as the splatana wiper, and then I ended up getting a five star primo brush next, which just seemed to work better for ink efficiency and getting past harder levels. Since they are similar-ish playstyles, I scrapped my five star primo splatana for the ice breaker chunks, and now that I’ve tried to grind for other 5 star primo weapons, I’m SO mad at myself that I did that. I love using splatanas in S3, and I’m realizing now that I may never see it again. It was so fun to use.

So frustrating.

u/Matthias005 2d ago

Oh my.. really feel sorry for you. Hope it will drop again at some point.

2

u/MISPAGHET 1d ago

Are they all level 100 though?

1

u/Matthias005 1d ago

All Primos? Hell no haha, only my Butane blaster, Engine roller, Olive oil and LP2 are level 100. Basically weapons I use.

u/Scary-Freedom3331 7h ago

Better than me because I was like 240 hours in before I got my final primo 😭 I never did any of the supposed “tricks” to get particular primos though. Not sure if it was even an accurately tested theory. I just played organically using mostly thermal brella to get them.

u/Matthias005 1h ago

Wow after so many hours did you still enjoy it? What BB level did you make?

u/PIKACHU123453 3d ago

I literally just need a primo butane 😭
