(PSN)VoiD_Glitch Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So why is the Hikou Prime good again? Still lower damage then the other two, even though this game is not based on DPS, it is an essential part of Warframe. I just want to know why Hikou Prime is being glorified. Is it all the hype? Or are there legitimate reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCornerMan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Higher status chance, faster reload, overall fancier looking, all this and you get to keep pretty good damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoreGawd Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hikou were fun with the right mods. Crazy fast fire rates are possible with those with the right mods. They had a lower DPS than the Kunai but the fire rate and magazine size made up for it. The Prime weapons normally do have a damage buff over the original which might put them on a more equal footing with the Kunai or even Despair.

Cyborg-Rox Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 You... do know that the Hikou has the same DPS as Kunai, right? Half damage, but twice fire rate. And the Prime has even more DPS. THAT's why it's so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurdyburd Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah I just had a chance to take a look at this, 32 damage on the prime vs the normal 25, less fire rate, and more status chance, and faster reload. So, basically a heavier Hikou. Seeing as the only reason the Hikou were interesting in the first place was their extreme fire rate, the decrease in fire rate for the prime is leaving me a little disappointed.

The fire rate isn't THAT decreased. Just from 6,7 to 5,8. That's still 90% faster than the Kunai and Despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJxt Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 You can check the stats in the codex. Hikou prime is better than the non-prime version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quizel Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 A glance at this and think it's like twin gremlins only with massively faster reload times and 5% more status chance per bullet. RoF is also a smidgen higher. Additionally, the high puncture dmg is good for armored targets when x4 cp isn't around. I liked twin gremlins a lot, thus i should like this a lot >.>.

Cyborg-Rox Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I don't really care much about ammo efficiency when it comes to secondaries. I mostly use them when I'm bleeding out or when collecting primary ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know why Hikou Prime is being glorified. Is it all the hype? Or are there legitimate reasons?
