Dread vs Paris Prime

[MrTopera]

I'm looking for a new stealth weapon, and i have both of these ready to craft, so which one should I get?

Dread without a doubt. Better crit chance, better damage type. Paris Prime has better Riven Disposition, but you can get really good roll for the Dread as well.

Dread is widely considered the better of the two choices, especially if you're in a party that has 4 Corrosive Projection auras.

[JeyciKon]

dread is better, the only occasional advantage paris has is being puncture based, so against armored foes it will deal more damage, but has less crit chance than dread. so against armored foes the dread has a % to do more or less damage than paris, making dread more irregular.

[Kyryo]

Dread for infested.

Paris for Grineer.

Cernos for Corpus.

Tigris Prime for everything else.

dread is overall better but if u play void solo paris is good choice.. cz  it will kill heavy gunners pretty  fast

[TheKihunter]

Dread primarily deals Slash damage, which is effective against most unarmored enemies such as Corpus or Infested units.

Paris/Paris Prime primarily deals Puncture damage, which is more effective against armored enemies such as Grineer.

Both are great weapons, but one will be slightly better than the other depending on the faction you're fighting against.

[SenorClipClop]

Dread deals Slash Damage, Paris P deals Puncture. I use the Paris because I already have a few Slash primaries I like, and I'm honestly not a fan of the Dread's firing sound.

Dread is the best/beast. With the proper frame and the right build, you can make the Dread a critical-status, 1-hit k.o weapon, but you're gonna have to put in work... but yes, every weapon has their speciality and can be extremely effective if you can correctly harness (mod) it.

Rakta Cernos ftw

the radial explosion makes it not a stealth weapon though.

Rakta's proc explosion messes up stealth a lot. It's more of a combat bow.

Besides, OP only said they had Dread and Paris Prime ready to craft.

I have a decent riven mod for Cernos so my Rakta Cernos is a beast.I just love it  but you are right. Not a stealth weapon

Yes it can, but the explosions were made silent awhile ago.

For the last time that's pointless and you should realise it already!

If you damage an enamy but don't kill them it doesn't matter if your attack was silent they still get alerted. The damage of Syndicate procs doesn't scale, it's always the same number and that number won't kill at higher levels.

Yes I know >.>

I was just saying the explosion was silent, so it's a bit better now

[Desperado14]

Build both, decide which one you like better.  I'm personally more of a dread fan.  Damage aside, there are less blind spots when aiming the dread compared to the Paris prime, and I believe there is less arc and faster flight speed.

[Xzorn]

The claims that Paris is better against armor are slightly misguided due to enemy scaling.

This is due to bleed status ignoring armor completely while Puncture double dips into damage modifiers allowing it to negate a portion of armor mitigation.

Paris will give you more dependable damage output per shot while Dread will give a very drastic variation but still an Avg that is capable of outperforming Paris.

Dread will either deal few hundred damage or it will one shot a lvl 145 Napalm. The more shots it requires Paris to kill an enemy. The more leverage Dread gains.
