Tips

 * Make sure to adjust your aim for moving targets.
 * When using at a distance aim above the enemy to adjust for Hikou Prime's arc.
 * Especially lethal when paired with Ice mods.
 * Using the Pistol Ammo Mutation mod can help regain lost ammo when needed.
 * Alternatively, bring along a Team Ammo Restore.

Bugs

 * As with all thrown sidearms, when performing a Jump Kick your frame will hold the Hikou Prime as dual pistols. Upon hitting the ground and sliding, this will quickly switch back to as it should be.
 * Spin Attack (Slide Melee) does not get a speed boost while equipping this weapon.

Trivia

 * Hikou (Hikō or 飛行 ) in Japanese means "flight."
 * Japanese Throwing Stars are followed by this weapon, as a traditional relation in Ninjutsu. Against humans, it tears the flesh of its targets while leaving a powerful puncture down to the victims' muscle tissue, resulting a painful death if this damage is not treated.
