Penta is, unfortunately, a weapon for powering through low-to-medium level content. When you get to the truly high level content, it falls off almost as hard as the Soma.

Truly high level content weapons are things like the Latron Prime, Phage, and newly buffed Dread.

Ridiculous, incredible, insane damage per shot, and high ammo efficiency, coupled with excellent status chance, carry all three of these weapons far, far into the late and high level content.

For Sidearms we have the Brakk ( you should have seen this coming), Tysis (yes, it's that good), and Ballistica (it may seem like a pain to learn to charge it right, but it's actually a lot better than most people are aware), with the possible addition of the Acrid, although its extended DoT nature tends to make it a pain to use.

There are a few other weapons that become late gamers with specific frames, for instance, Castanas with Vauban (lolz the vortex chain lightning supernovas that white out the whole room :) ).
