Prime Incursions is the next phase of the Incursions gamemode for Chaos VIII and beyond. Whereas the incursions in previous Chaos tiers are mostly introductory, Prime Incursions brings them all back (and a couple more) into the higher difficulties with new and unique rewards to be earned.

The general rule being in a Chaos difficulty still applies. Meaning aside from Incursion mechanics, players will still have to deal with the unique enemies of their respective Chaos tier.

Contents

Major differences from regular Incursions

Unlike the Incursions layout for the first seven Chaos tiers, Prime Incursions presents the challenges in a very different way.

  • All Incursions are now within a single difficulty, divided into 7 groups. Each group will be harder than the last despite being in the same difficulty.
  • Some Incursions has been modified to be a harder version of their original counterpart in early Chaos. Modifications may include very subtle tweaks to the stage mechanics or adding in more enemies.

Rewards

Aside from an incursion's respective special weapon, Prime Incursions also provides these new rewards:

1. Prime Weapons (Victory chest loot).

  • These weapons with unique new models drops with Chaos VIII, Chaos IX, or Chaos X stats fully upgraded, depending on which difficulty you do. Furthermore, they are also rolled with curated "fan-favorites" shot/swing types and Mods. Each Prime group would have a pool of 4 different prime weapons. They are not the easiest items to find as their drop chance isn't that common.

2. Rings (Victory chest loot).

  • Heirloom items with unique locked mods that assists a hero's offensive capabilities with stats that are immune to reset when Ancient Power is invoked. Each Prime group features a ring that is guaranteed to drop from a Victory Chest after an incursion is beaten. Only found in Chaos IX/Chaos X.

3. Unique Pets (Victory chest loot).

  • Unique pets that cannot be found anywhere else. Only some Prime Incursions or Group feature them in their victory chest reward pool.

4. Hyper Shards (Gamemode-specific reward).

  • Each Prime Incursion group cleared for the first time rewards a Hyper Shard. After clearing all seven groups, there are more Hyper Shards you can obtain depending on the difficulty. Mass Destruction, obtainable by completing all 7 Prime Incursion groups in either Chaos 8, 9, or 10 difficulty. Genie King's Blessing, obtainable by completing all seven Chaos 9 Prime Incursion groups. And Tandem Strike, obtainable by completing all seven Chaos 10 Prime Incursion groups.
  • These hyper shards are identical to the ones earned from Mastery, meaning you'll be able to have two sets of them when you complete both Mastery and Prime Incursions.
