Is the Sicarus a good secondary

[(PSN)jianxungao]

Is the Sicarus burst pistol a good secondary, that you would be able to make it a build to make it on par with a primary level weapon or no? And if it is, can anyone tell me a good build for it?

[TheScytale]

I don't think you can find a use for sicarus, even in low levels.

If you're new, I'd suggest getting the Lex. Pretty easy to obtain and really good for starters.

[Senoinya]

It's an amazing secondary if your objective is to do no damage and die.

Perfect when used in the best loadout ever:

Hydroid with Panthera, Sicarus, and Machete.

Sicarus prime is really bad.

And the base version... oh boy.

IMO it's not that great, i'd imagine with multiple forma it can be made okay... however it is a pretty weak very old pistol in the game that needs a look at to make more usable...

I like it for running starchart missions like alerts and stuff, just cause it feels nice to use.

As for stats/damage, don't bother. You'd kill enemies faster with the back of your hand.

If you want fun weapons, try whatever can ragdoll enemies. Like Jat Kittag and Sonicor.

I have staticor to do that, and I can nevar get enough plastids...

It's a good gun

It is absolute crap, but still worth getting if for no other reason than it is easy mastery fodder.  Level for the mastery points then junk it.

Lol, thats what I have the lato for

[YasaiTsume]

Sicarus sucks :D

Spoiler

However, Sicarus Prime is actually a strong DPS weapon which can deal pretty decent damage due to its firing type (shoots 3 bullets in succession) coupled with its Status chance. 

Here is the downer : It is burst fire.

Unlike Burst Fire rifles, it is pretty garbo on the Sicarus Prime mainly because of the inability to land all 3 shots on a moving target. This basically cuts its own DPS down by 1/3 because most often than not, only 2 out of the 3 burst hits. 

Sicarus Prime is one of those weapons with lots of potential, but absolutely screws itself over due to the firing mechanic. 

Get it for fodder, then ditch it, I formaed it abit, it's pretty nice, but seriously the burst fire on it just guts the weapon.

Sicarus... is the free upgrade to the Lato that everyone got at the earliest point Warframe was playable.
Just let that sink in. Lato, free, earliest.

If that doesn't give you an idea of how bad it is, then read my comment again until you get it.

... LOL!!!

[taiiat]

unfortunately Sicarus is a fairly poor Weapon. not a Weapon that's recommended to invest much into.

[TheSteelRat]

Only for MR fodder.

[(PSN)jianxungao]

And the amount of oxium you need for Vauban Prime (i'd get him if I could) is ridiculous...
