What Are The Best Dual Pistols In Warframe?

[LashLethal]

For a rank 0. Someone said the vipers are very good? I built the magnus a couple of days ago and it's a joke.

Dex Furis - but I don't know if they qualify, being currently unobtainable.

But Aktilettos and Twin gremlins are quite nice. Dual Cestras are unusable.

I'm not sure why everybody seems to think the Akmagnus run out of rounds too fast?

 

Akvasto is 50 damage per round, 12 rounds, above-average crit chance for weak crits, low status chance

 

Amagnus is 45 damage per round, 16 rounds, high crit chance for strong crits, high status chance

 

Really the ONLY thing "wrong" with the Akmagnus is that the reload time is longer, but a Quickdraw mod will have it reloading like the Akvastos with way better damage and status output, especially if you're a good shot.  With Pistol Gambit, Akmagnus has a 55% crit chance, and crits to the face do an additional x4 multiplier on top of the crit. Not uncommon to see thousands of damage per bullet (not per shot: per bullet)  coming out of the Akmagnus.

Akvasto are much more viable to new players , as crit and status build on Akmagnus requires lots of mods and some of them are very hard to impossible to get at the moment . You only need to slap damage/fire rate mod on Akvasto and it's good
