First of all, not all people have access to Arcane Energize. So, Rakta version is a nice sidearm to be used with Ivara's Prowl. Plus, Viral cuts HP by half, which is proved to be convinent in many cases.

The Prime version's damage is slightly higher, and not to mention the crit multiplier difference. Faster reload, too.

But heck. I have Arcane Energize, but I still use the Rakta version at the moment. The Viral proc isn't too bad, plus even more energy. The Prime version is better in terms of dealing damage, without any doubt (the slight damage difference, and crit multiplier).

In the end, preference preference. I think both are good at their own aspects. It is almost the same case with Sancti Tigris and Tigris Prime. The HP buff for Sancti user is good (plus radial corrosive proc), at the same time Tigris Prime does better damage and status proc-ing to every single enemy in its line of fire (despite not a radial one). Preference preference.

Have fun, mates. That is what games are for. Happiness with each one shot blows, or from the chaos caused by you. The ghost is a good touch, will do Prime version more frequent for now for me
