Bones98 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Is there any talk among the devs about introducing the dual lex? It would be awesome to be able to hold that insane amount of firepower in each hand while fighting off enemies. Also, am I the only one that things vastos should have a "beefier" sound like the lex considering the vasto looks like a 44 magnum revolver?

CaptainohCaptain Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I thinking we should stop this crap with akimbo pistols, unless they'll increase recoil even more, drop the starting accuracy and tripple, not double the reload time.

H3_Cupcake Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Upon hindsight, I really don't think that a dual-wield variant of the Lex is a good idea. With the Lato, Bolto Viper... and even the Vasto, the Lex is meant to be a true handcannon as compared to it's lighter counterparts. (TV Tropes definition, not to be confused with the Bronco), dual-wielding it would kind of wreck the feeling of possessing ridiculous fire power in one package, not to mention, handcannons are meant to be single weapons. Also I think that to balance it it make it do more damage (Or change it's damage to 'Armour Piercing') and increase the weapon's size, as currently it's kind of out-classed by the other pistols damage-wise. Even in terms of burst damage, the other weapons will still outclass the Lex with sustained damage. (E.g. Vasto can do 100+ damage in the time it takes for 1 Lex shot, and Twin Vipers can 400 damage per second compared to the Lex's comparatively measly 70.) Not to mention, quite a few of the other pistols are of relatively similar accuracy (Lex: 16 Lato: 18.2 Vasto: 16, got stats from Warframe Wiki) AND... just how many Lex users do you see out there? That's just my 2 cents on the topic. Edited September 2, 2013 by H3_Cupcake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFkenny Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) I like the Lex. Very accurate even at long range, perfect for blasting through Grineer face shields. But I concur, a dual variant would be inappropriate. Edited September 2, 2013 by SFkenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimchiKen_Prime Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I WANT DUAL LEX! The impossible was created, a twin revolvers, the dual vastos, why not dual lex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VScipii26 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I WANT DUAL LEX! The impossible was created, a twin revolvers, the dual vastos, why not dual lex? Because the Lex is a pocket sniper. Why would you dual wield pocket snipers? It defeats the niche of the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumnus Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) I'm with the "do not want" crew. It'd be completely out of place, and I love the Lex as it is. If you technically want an improvement on it, the Vandal/Prime route would be significantly more fitting than Dual. But even then, I like that it's a less than popular option that's still super playable. The Lex is like...Warframe's best kept secret.

Wellwisher Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Because the Lex is a pocket sniper. Why would you dual wield pocket snipers? It defeats the niche of the weapon. The niche of the Lex is defeated by its comparatively abysmal stats. Honestly it need a major buff, i dont understand why many secondaries can be as good or often much better than most/all primaries, but the lex is like a really S#&$ty version of the snipetron.

Well, but I still using it, still love it and even the fact that this one smaller than Lato makes me feel groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditsydoo Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Well lex might become viable again soon, due to DE revamping armor in U10 or so i hear (and really, really hope) it would make bullet damage types better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Won_Doe Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Def not. For other weps yes but Lex's beefiness feels better suited to being a single weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vextrus Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Seems OP... unless the recoil makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
