Lex Prime Build 2018 (Guide) - The Desert Eagle (Warframe)

Getting your first Prime Weapon can be a very special experience. I remember getting the Lex Prime together with the Braton Prime and thinking ... "OH MY GOD, I have such an amazing setup now! I'm gonna be able to tear through everything!" ... and while I wasn't able to tear through everything, the Lex Prime did not disappoint.


Hey guys, hello and welcome back. As always my name is Leyzar and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 8 Secondary Weapon - The Lex Prime. I'm gonna be covering a cheap
build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course we also have a suited up setup with more expensive mods. That being said though, please keep in mind that my builds and guides follow a "New Player Friendly" approach, simply because there's a lot of info here, and I want anybody watching to understand how the weapon functions, and how it should be built, so if you're a veteran of the game and already know this stuff, you can skip ahead, or have a bit of patience.

And with that out of the way, let's jump into the Lex Prime. Let's begin by having a look at how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and for that I'm simply gonna be taking a couple of free shots. The Lex Prime is a pinpoint-accurate weapon. A lot of players prefer it simply because of this high accuracy, and it packs one hell of a punch as well, but as you can see (vid), the recoil is quite large on this one, so you gotta wait for it to stabilize, in order to hit the exact same point (of course this is with mod not included). Other than that you have eight shots in a clip, and you also get about two seconds worth of reload, and that's pretty much it.



Let's jump into stats, to see precisely what we're dealing with.
Mod capacity is gonna be 60 out of 60. If your Prime Lex has 30 out of 30 then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst.(check the video for more info). My weapon has been formatted a total of four times, but for the weapon build I'm recommending you guys, 3 forma is more than sufficient. The accuracy of the Lex Prime is 16.0. Now, for a pistol this is pretty standard, however the Lex Prime once again is known for its fabled accuracy. Back then however, there wasn't an Arca Scisco, so if you're interested in a super accurate secondary weapon, check out the Arca Scisco. (build can be found here: https://leyzargamingviews.blogspot.com/2018/08/arca-scisco-build-2018-guide-warframe.html)  

Please check the link below to watch the full build / guide for the Lex Prime.


Conclusion:
The weapon doesn't offer a lot of build diversity, and the build its pretty straight forward. The only real option we have is if we go for the ninety mods, or the dual stat mods, and of course the option slot, usually I gravitate towards Steady Hands just to make the weapon a bit more usable.
The Lex Prime packs one serious punch, but it does suffer from usability issues. High recoil, small magazine size, lengthy reload time and a riven disposition of only one out of five.

Objectively speaking, the weapon is good, and I would recommend it for players around mastery rank eight, but higher up the ladder you will find more powerful secondary weapons.
