NotesEdit

• The Hikou Prime can ricochet (rarely) off surfaces, as floors and walls. Ricocheted shots can damage and kill whoever gets in the way.
• The Hikou Prime can pass through Volt's Electric Shield.

TipsEdit

• Make sure to adjust your aim for moving targets, both vertically and horizontally.
• Combining both Pistol Multishot Mods, (Barrel Diffusion and Lethal Torrent), as well as the Corrupted Mod, Magnum Force, allows for easier barrages against mobile/running Targets.
• When using at a distance, aim above the enemy to adjust for Hikou Prime's arc.
• High proc rate means that  Cold mods are more likely to slow enemies, making them easier to hit with further attacks.
• Using a Pistol Ammo Mutation or Primed Pistol Ammo Mutation mod can help regain lost ammo when needed.
  • Alternatively, bring along a Team Ammo Restore or use a Carrier with Ammo Case.

BugsEdit

• 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.

TriviaEdit

• Hikou (Hikō or 飛行 ) in Japanese means "flight."
• The Hikou are based off the Japanese throwing stars from ninjutsu tradition. Throwing stars were primarily used as distractions, and were often called the "invisible blades" due to a thrown star being able to cut enemies unseen from any direction.
