Hikou still good?

[(XBOX)anaconda legend]

So just wandering around and then i get a explosive pistol thing. Suddenly I thought of the hikou with so is it worth crafting the hikou at mastery rank 9

hikou is very good just vs nulifiers just be cerful if u use that explosive mod it has pretty big radius^

[ArcaneSnowdrop]

Hikou Prime is my go-to sidearm. Just be careful so as to not blow yourself up, as ashrah said.

Even vanilla hikou is pretty decent though obviously prime is better. Throwing weapons are so fun.

It is good with concealed explosives for some applications like Saryn nullies etc...

If by good you mean powerful, there are lots of other much more powerful secondaries. 

This is a weapon that has one of the most strange riven dispositions, it has a strong disposition, close to staticor which can kill the world in a few shots.

It's always a bit iffy to recommend a weapon when its Prime version is vaulted,
though in the case of Hikou and wanting to get some Concealed Explosives action goin' on,
the higher Fire Rate compared to the Prime might actually work out nicely.

(The buffs in other areas are still plenty neat though, so maybe give Trading a shot.
Might get a good deal, from what I've seen HP isn't exactly Boltor Prime-level expensive, heh.)
