How to get it
The Storm Caster only drops in missions, from gun cases (amber) dropped by enemies, bosses and mission wins. It can drop once you’re level 18 or higher: gear more than 2 levels above you never drops.
Prototype is the grade rolled on 0% of drops on tier-1 maps, 0% of drops on tier-2 maps, 8% of drops on tier-3 maps, and 20% of tier-3 boss drops. See loot and drops.
A gun you already own is scrapped for gold when it drops again.
Best classes for it

Upgrades
Spend gold in the Inventory to upgrade each part up to its grade’s cap. Taking every part to the cap costs about 155,115 gold. An Augment Core plus gold then pushes a capped part 2 levels further at 1.5× strength.
