So corinth prime ...

[Goosetave]

The alt fire is pretty much downright inferior to the original. They make it sound like you CAN detonate it mid-air, which sounds cool enough, but you in fact HAVE to do that because it simply does not explode on impact. And it's not like it acts as a slug that way either, it does little to no damage. Then there's the new reload, which looks neat but removes the advantage of shell loading, you know, the thing that made corinth interesting as a shotgun.
I don't know how to feel about this one, i'm a sucker for prime desgins and this one is exquisite but the prime being mechanically inferior to the base version just doesn't sound right to me.

EDIT : I've come to notice a much MUCH more crippling issue about this weapon ... when you fire it, and action the pump, said pump doesn't move. Your hand does a little bit, but not the pump. The pump action shotgun doesn't pump, and is thus completely unusable. My disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined.

EDIT 2 : They fixed the animation, and it's glorious. My disappointment is undone, and my day is restored.

The original Corinth alt fire never detonated on impact.

It detonates after the round travels a certain distance (20 meters I think) and if it hits a wall or enemy it doesn't explode.

This.

That's entirely my bad, my memory was failing me. I don't have the normal version anymore so i couldn't check easily but that's no excuse. Point about the reload still stands tho, even if it seems petty now that it's on it's own.

Wait, it has a different reload?

Yup, it has a 3sec reload that refills the whole mag. So a normal reload.

A 3 second reload time... but it has a magazine of 20, impressive. But I still think keeping the shell-reloading would have been nicer.

I don't think I'll mind the alt-fire, since I already liked air-bursting with weapons like the Penta.

Now you have me imagining a Warframe speed-loading individual shells to match that reload time...

So it's a glorified Sobek, basically.

They removed the shell by shell reload ?? Well I don't need that shotgun now, things just got hundred times worst.

That's one of the unique features that I wanted from a pump action shotgun in this game :(

Would you really prefer to load all 20 shells one by one?

Man. The shell by shell reload was awesome. Made me feel like I was using halo shotgun or something.

Corinth P should've had the shell by shell reload IF the magazine isn't fully emptied

Reloading can be cancelled anytime by shooting or they could have buffed other stats.

Wow, this is disappointing to hear. I was looking forward to a Prime version of one of the coolest shotguns in the game.

Man, they could just keep the old animation but make each motion reload 4 shells or something...
