Notes[]
- The short reload time and the fast fire rate make Pressurized Magazine in conjunction with Pistol Ammo Mutation a viable modding choice.
Trivia[]
- While Primed weapons usually have increases across almost all stats, the Akstiletto Prime features noticeably slower fire rate compared to the normal Akstiletto, though this translates into increased accuracy as is mentioned in the description.
- The Akstiletto Prime, alongside Cernos Prime, Dual Kamas Prime, Fang Prime, Paris Prime, and Zhuge Prime are the only Prime weapons that do not require Orokin Cells as crafting ingredients.
- Though missing from their display image, the Akstiletto Prime have their magazines mounted on top, with lights on their rear and sides that indicate the level of ammunition remaining in each magazine, going off from top-down as the Stilettos are fired.
- Unlike the regular Akstiletto, which both magazines' lights turn off at the same time, the Akstiletto Prime's lights go off consecutively, one Stiletto then the other one.
- Using black energy in the Smoke Palette or very dark energy colors will make it impossible or difficult to note the lights on the magazines.
- Unlike the regular
