Sevek7 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 That's a pretty good riven! Personally, I don't really like the dual cestras (both regular and secura), but I know people who do. It's worth trying them out for yourself to see if you like them. Before you make any decisions, I would wait a little bit. The corpus "liches" are coming soon, and so we will soon get new upgrades of corpus weapons. We may get a new dual cestra weapon with that update, so I would definitely hang on to your riven until that update comes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutesque Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Don't you need forma to craft Each Cestra ? Oh wait nevermind.... You can just use the Secura version 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgabor Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Answering your title, no. I had a pretty good riven for it, +fire rate, +damage with + recoil as a 'negative' stat. It was still useless because of the low ammo pool for this weapon. As for the riven, keep it, at least unless you're out of riven slots, i got rid of mine, but if you got enough space for it, keeping it until you can sell it at a higher price is always a good idea.

It is a fun weapon and can be top notch if properly modded, but has ammo issues (as someone above said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual Cestra isnt a crit weapon. 69.3% crit chance and 4.88x crit damage (that is, with primed pistol gambit and target cracker) is perfectly serviceable for a crit/hybrid build. That said, as someone who likes to make bad weapons decent, even I haven't touched the Cestras. The reload speed and complete lack of slash make it hard to like.

How about alternative? Also I do not understand where do you get the numbers from: With base 16% (below average) and 1.6x (waay below average) wIth primed cracker and gambit you get cc 45.9% and cd 3.4x. Did you also apply the mentioned riven with max dispo (cause the numbers listed are with Dual Cestra dispo 1.35, not Secura 1.3 because OP doesnt have one)?

Did you also apply the mentioned riven with max dispo? Riven plus the two primed mods, which is bog standard for any crit/hybrid weapon. I did indeed use the OPs listed stats, but forgot about the Secura's disposition, so you're right the numbers are off. But only marginally, 1.35 disposition vs 1.3.

How about the alternatives? Below average cc/cd are not very good for hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piling on as much raw damage, multishot, and status mods as possible, and brute force through and hope for the best :P My point was that it's viable. With enough disposition, you can take low crit weapons and turn into crit weapons, and often get great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
(PSN)moncio-the-best
Yesterday I found a riven for the dual cestra.
+ 88,8 ice
+ 95 critical damage
+ 146,4 critical damage probability
So I was thinking if the secura version were worth the price.
