Savage the enemy with a Lex Prime in each hand.

Aklex Prime is the Primed version of Aklex, and consists of a pair of hard-hitting semi-automatic pistols. Functionally very similar to its single-handed counterpart, the Lex Prime, the Aklex Prime trades some accuracy and reload speed for an improved rate of fire and magazine capacity.

AcquisitionEdit

TipsEdit

Compared to Lex Prime: the Aklex Prime has higher Sustained DPS (332.6 vs 245.5) and higher burst DPS (504 vs 393.8).
Aklex Prime has more recoil and less accuracy than Lex Prime, making consistent headshots difficult. Using Steady Hands may make up for this, but will reduce overall DPS in favor of standard Lex Prime.
Aklex Prime has a higher Riven disposition than Lex Prime (Neutral vs Faint). It may be beneficial to use a riven with reduced recoil stat to increase viability of Aklex Prime without taking a huge decrease to DPS (provided the Riven has other DPS enhancing stats).
Aklex Prime can make use of Mesa's passive ability, giving it +10% fire rate, resulting in an increase of 16.7 Sustained DPS (349.3 increased from 332.6) and 39.4 Burst DPS (543.4 increased from 504).

TriviaEdit

Aklex Prime is the fourth Prime to be released outside of Prime Access since Prime Access was introduced; following Lex Prime (third), Akbronco Prime (second) and the Burston Prime (first).
Aklex Prime was the first prime weapon whose relic was not dropped in normal missions, instead, it was sold by Baro Ki'Teer for Ducats and Credits.
The Aklex Prime's slide is not animated, unlike the single Lex Prime.
As of Update 22.12, the Aklex Prime has the highest Mastery Rank restriction of any weapon in the game, having a Mastery Rank requirement of 15.
The Aklex Prime and its regular and singular variants share similar weapon sounds to the Hammer 1895, a revolver featured in Dark Sector.
