What secondary weapon/build do you use for Mesa? Recommendations?

[NativeKiller]

I've heard of some people using the Dual Toxocyst for the fire-rate buff on Peacemaker but I've also heard that the weapon isn't that good outside of Peacemaker.

 

Also, I am not really the best marksman in the world so the headshot requirement for the fire-rate buff may be something to consider.

 

Would you recommend the Dual Toxocyst for Mesa's secondary?

 

I've heard about Lex Prime and Vaykor Marelok being used so I might choose from those if I do give up on the Dual Toxocyst.

 

Also, should I put Gunslinger on my secondary build for the fire-rate increase for Peacemaker?

 

Furthermore, should I go with a corrosive build, or go with a gas build just to use "Primed Heated Charge"?

 

If not, Radiation or something else?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

P.S// I thought of a Peacemaker build and it goes something like;

 

Spoiler

1) Hornet Strike

2) Barrel Diffusion

3) Lethal Torrent

4) Primed Target Cracker

5) Primed Pistol Gambit

6) Primed Heated Charge/Convulsion

7) Pathogen Rounds

8) Gunslinger/3rd 90% elemental mod

Go with whatever suits you the best, Toxocyst is the Best Peacemaker Gun, but not a necessity at all. I've used Twin Grakatas for a while and did perfectly.

Recently switched to the Lex Prime because Damage.

Akstiletto Prime is one of the best Secondaries out right now.

Dual Toxocysts are very fun tho, and I really do recommend you make them. If you're bad with Headshots, you have a good practice weapon in them.

I guess I would probably just go with Lex Prime if I don't see any compelling reason to do otherwise.

 

I usually prefer the safe option if I am unsure of what to do.

 

Also, I actually can land headshots semi-reliably but the really thing is that I am worried if Dual Toxocyst will serve me well enough when I am not using Peacemaker.

basically any Secondary which has good Crit Stats is a good choice.
that way you don't sacrifice anything.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

 

Thanks for your input. :3

If you land a Headshot, the toxocyst gets infinite ammo, a lot of fire rate, and a bonus of pure toxin Damage, also, it reaches 100% Status with just 2 Stat Mods (+Multishot, obvs) so you'd be with proccing every shot. Don't expect it to crit tho, it rarely will, that said, it's got a pretty high Base Damage as compensation.

If that's the case you shouldn't be relying on your secondary lol

I use a Crit/Status AkMagnus

Isn ´t Peacemaker affected only by mods?

I saw a video that showed the Peacemaker showing much faster RoF thanks to the headshot RoF buff of the Dual Toxocyst.

 

Google it out to check it out on Youtube.

i use akmagnus with 7 forma^

I use Lex Prime for my Mesa, but my personal favorite secondary is Twin Grakatas on any Warframe. Some my not like them (my twins), but I personally enjoy them a lot. Hornet Strike, Barrel Diffusion, Primed Pistol Gambit, Primed Target Cracker, Heated Charge, Pathogen Rounds, Deep Freeze, Convulsion is what I current have equipped. I don't use Lethal Torrent as I don't like the fire rate then xD I'm not saying it's a great build, but I personally enjoy it. (I swap the places of the elements to fix the enemy weakness)

[DarkPhoenixII]

I would suggest Vaykor Merlok, even tho it may not be the best, but I think that to go with something that is very reliable even outside peacemaker is a great advantage when you are not doing the peacemaker

I've pretty much settled on the Aksomati and the usual crit build associated with that sort of weapon.

Any secondary will work since only the mods matter, but you may as well use a gun that benefits from that modding strategy, since you will have to use it on occasion.

Why the Aksomati? Mostly because of aesthetics, but it is a very good secondary if you can deal with its ammo usage. I generally only actually use the weapon when carrying assorted pizzas or on the rare occasions when the primary runs dry. When Mesa Prime comes out (eventually), I'll switch to the Akstilettos and that'll be that.

BullS#&$ again. It is affected ONLY by Mods, the only Exception is the Dual Toxo with its Headshotbuff

What is meant is that having a crit/stat pistol modded as such is optimal for Mesa because the regulators have high crit and status so you get the most out of pacemaker without sacrificing the usefulness of your secondary weapon. If you want a high damage pacemaker without a crit viable secondary, you'll have to use at least 2 mods on the secondary which don't benefit the secondary at all, effectively gimping the weapon whereas if you had used a crit based secondary, the weapon itself would still be at the best you could get it to.

There are 4 builds I recommend (switch the elemental mods around to suit your desired target enemy):

 

Crit + Status + Damage Hybrid:

The goal of this build is to have both high damage and high status per shot.

 

Crit + Status:

The goal of this build is to apply status procs as fast as you can. This is good for high armor enemies so that you can strip them of their armor quickly. However, due to how peacemaker works, Anemic Agility's added fire rate will cause the crosshair to shrink at a much faster rate.

 

Max Damage Per Shot:

The goal of this build is to get the highest damage per shot, allowing you to kill enemies in less bullets, resulting in a slower crosshair tightening per kill during peacemaker.

 

Max DPS:

The goal of this build is to maximize your damage per second. This, however, comes at the cost of your crosshair shrinking at an incredibly fast rate during peacemaker.

okay, i'll talk slower.

any Weapon with good Crit Stats, so that when you  Equip the ideal Mods for Peacemaker, you don't have to sacrifice anything on your Secondary Weapon when you go and shoot with it.
