Lex Prime

Lex Prime is the Primed version of the Lex.

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily Puncture damage.

Advantages:
 * Very high damage.
 * High puncture damage is very effective against the Grineer.
 * Very accurate.
 * Very good ammunition efficiency.
 * Good critical chance and damage.
 * High status chance.
 * Has a polarity, useful for mods like Hornet Strike, Lethal Torrent, etc.

Disadvantages:
 * Slow rate of fire.
 * High recoil.
 * Slow reload speed.
 * Has low Slash and Impact damage.
 * Can only be obtained through the Void and is thus difficult to acquire.
 * Requires 10 Orokin Cells to craft.

Tips

 * Take advantage of your slower firing rate to plan your shots. Both the Lex and Lex Prime are amazing sniper pistols.
 * Build for pure damage and learn to compensate for your reloads without mods.
 * Aim for the head or for multiple targets in a line.
 * Alternatively, with maxed out rate-of-fire mods and maxed out reload mods, the Lex Prime can work as a close quarters pistol.
 * Works well with close quarter or otherwise less accurate primary weapons, to cover ranged enemies.

Trivia

 * Like the Burston Prime, the Lex might have been used in actual combat compared to the more ornamental prime weapons.
 * It also has no visible energy glow
