DarkLordX2 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Well, after using Lex Prime, for some reason, Lex Prime doesn't show a prime tier, the pistol only have a magazine of 8, average damage, a long reload (2.8 sec), it sounds like Latron, it would be better if the pistol was Auto with a magazine of 15 or 20 and a shoter reload, 2.0 seconds.

-FrostByte- Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Lex prime hits like a truck. I don't think it was ever meant to be a auto pistol. I think of it as a magnum-type pistol. Use it for long range sniping! if you want bullet-0-many try the AkZani Compared to the Lex: Higher overall damage Higher fire rate Higher crit chance Higher status chance Larger magazine looks like a badass nerf gun Edited August 21, 2014 by n0lyfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tali Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 its designed for slow heavy hitting shots like n0lyfe said - ita a Magnum type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan-0-matic Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You're modding it wrong, bud. It's one of the best secondaries available... Hell, it has better damage output than the dual Lex! Not to mention great Crit chance and status chance too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhux Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Lex Prime should have its reload time reduced at maximum 1.8 reload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otenko Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 For the record, Lex Prime's reload is 2.3s. I believe it's the same as the Lex. The Seer has a 3s reload though or at least about 2.8s. I think the gun is fine as is, but if you want a more automatic-type gun, Sicarus Prime is a nice alternative (although burst-fire). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 5 forma AkLex user I can confirm this :) Best alternative to this to keep is the AkBoltos. Edited August 21, 2014 by ArcLightCRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othergrunty Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) *snips* Have you ever used a regular Lex? Because the prime is a straight upgrade of it just like every other prime variant. Do you expect prime weapons to be totaly different than their base versions or why do you want a semi-automatic magnum type pistol to be an automatic pistol in it's prime variant? Or is it because it isn't an all dominating secondary version of Boltor Prime? Sorry if i sound rude, i just want to understand your train of thought that went into your suggestion? As a 5 forma AkLex user I can confirm this :) Best alternative to this to keep is the AkBoltos. AkMagnus holds up pretty well too.

existentialvoid Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Lex prime is my go-to secondary... especially if I am using launcher or corpus weapons where I use my secondary as my primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasmir Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 LEx P is does what a P do, being better than the normal one but if you compare it to the power creep weapons like marelock or brakk is obviously is going to look weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriviagene Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Lex Prime should have its reload time reduced at maximum 1.8 reload speed. There's 2 reload speed mods for secondary -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralArmchair Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) The Lex prime is like most primes. Mild upgrades over the original weapon in most every aspect. For the aspect of damage per hit, most have ~25-30% boost. Don't let you expectations for a prime be spoiled by the Boltor Prime. That weapon is an extreme outlier that received a 125% boost in damage per hit and is long overdue for a drastic nerfing to place it in line with the other primes. (IMO, given the trend most primes follow, the Boltor was probably supposed to have a 25% boost in the damage per hit category and someone at DE made a critical math fail).

Redhux Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 There's 2 reload speed mods for secondary -_- Yes and? It is a pure waste for the Lex Prime to have such a lame and long reload time for a pistol with a small magazine. For your info, i use Stunning Speed and i feel sad for that pistol. Waste of slot.

Arunafeltz Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Lex Prime is amazing, and for my general purpose build I run Ice Storm and Quickdraw so it functions like a (very) high-powered Lato. The only changes it needs is a slight critical chance buff to make aiming for those sweet headshots even more rewarding, and perhaps a tiny reload speed buff.

Othergrunty Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Lex Prime is amazing, and for my general purpose build I run Ice Storm and Quickdraw so it functions like a (very) high-powered Lato. Ha. This reminds me. I recently noticed that design wise the Lato and the Lex Prime have more in common than the Lato and the Lato Prime. Both have a ring shaped trigger. Both have a similar shaped grip. Both have a tube part underneath the barrel. All while still having a very regular pistol shape. The regular Lex also features the tube and the ring trigger, but has a less rounded appearance than the Lex Prime. In contrast there is next to no visible relation between the Lato and it's Prime counterpart, except for having a handguard and possible a hammer (not sure if that is one on the Lato Prime). The L Prime actualy resembles the Magnus more than the Lato. Of course i know the real world explanation for that (see concept art section ingame). But one could easily make the lore theory that the Lato is indeed a faster but low power spin-off of the Lex Prime, which just took the name of an unrelated Orokin ceremonial pistol.
