Aklex Prime Build 2018 (Guide) - Are Two Better Than One ? (Warframe Gameplay)

Do you remember your first Prime Weapon? Mine was the Lex Prime, and it was such a tremendous experience! The weapon had fantastic accuracy, a lot of damage and it just felt so damn powerful! Hey guys, hello and welcome back. As always my name is Leyzar and today we're talking about these beauties: The Aklex Prime.

With a mastery lock out of 15, these babies sure can pack one serious punch, however they do come with some drawbacks. Considering the high master lockout on these weapons, I'm gonna be assuming you already know the basics, so, without further ado, let's jump into the Aklex Prime.

Firstly, let's check out how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and I'm mashing my button right now, so you can see the maximum fire rate, and how it aligns to that huge recoil (Video).
The Aklex Prime has one of the biggest recoils in the game so if you want to hit a target in the exact same place, you can't exactly make use of the full fire rate, unless you try to re-aim and control that recoil, at least a little bit. And as you saw there, the reload time, considering you only got 16 shots in a clip, is a bit long at 3 seconds.

In the first part of the video we are taking a closer look at the stats, and a short comparison vs Lex Prime. Before we slap on any mods, please take note that my weapon has been format a total of seven times, but for the build I'm recommending you guys, five should be enough.



First thing we put in mostly any weapon is ... flat damage, and it's gonna be Hornet Strike. If you guys have prime versions of any of the mods that i recommend, then by all means, go right on ahead and use your prime versions.

For the sake of presentation the initial build, the recommended build, will be affordable, cheap, something that anybody can get into.


With the damage added, we do have a couple of additional options, such as Augur Pact, which will add 90% damage, and you also have the benefit of the set bonus there: 90 % damage ... unfortunately isn't that much, and we'll talk about the last mod option a bit later. After damage as per the usual, Multi Shot is extremely important, probably the most important thing you can put on a weapon currently. Barrel Diffusion is the stock pistol multi shot mod, and it'll add 120 % multi shot. It is not our only option, however. We also have Lethal Torrent, which will add 60% fire rate and 60% multi shot. The multi shot alone makes this a tremendous value mod. The fire rate ... you can't really make that much use out of it ... but again, we're going to talk about that just a tad later. Now, a damage of multi shot applied to the weapon the next thing we should be looking towards amplifying either its status chance, adding elemental damage  or further augmenting that crit chance and crit damage
