Lex is one of the lowest DPS weapons in the game and doesn't have armor pierce like this does. Lex is purely for style. If you want something effective, even the Lato makes for a better sniper pistol. When you right click it zooms just as much and has enough accuracy to do the job while having almost twice as much DPS.

Despair here is a fine secondary weapon, though perhaps somewhat outshone by the akbolto still in the armor ignoring secondary weapon category. The akbolto has considerably more DPS, particularly against light infested, and about ties with the Despair's 50% bonus vs medium grineer.
