Sicarus Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

The Sicarus Prime is an ornamental firearm that fires rounds in rapid bursts, providing a balance between the lethality of auto-pistols and the accuracy of semi-automatic pistols.

The Sicarus Prime is the Primed variant of the Sicarus Sicarus burst-fire pistol that sacrifices a small amount of its DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage to triple DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture and DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage, and also sports higher accuracy, faster fire rate, higher critical and status chance, and a larger magazine compared to its predecessor. It was released alongside Ember PrimeIcon272 Ember Prime and GlaivePrime Glaive Prime.

This weapon can be sold for Credits64 5,000.

Characteristics[]

  • This weapon deals primarily DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage.
  • Innate Madurai Pol polarity.

Advantages over other Secondary weapons (excluding modular weapons):

Notes[]

  • Due to its high accuracy, when combined with the Mod TT 20px Steady Hands mod this weapon becomes powerful at long range.
  • The lower DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage of Sicarus Prime makes individual shots mildly less effective against shields, but the improved fire rate and magazine size still make it a superior choice to the classic Sicarus.

Trivia[]

  • The Sicarus Prime was first shown to the public in Devstream 18, where it was featured in promotional artwork of the then-upcoming Ember PrimeIcon272 Ember Prime.
    • Said artwork also had Ember Prime wielding both the Sicarus Prime and the GlaivePrime Glaive Prime simultaneously, which wasn't possible in Update 11.0 (2013-11-20) or prior to it, but would be made possible (with any combination of Single Sidearm and Glaive) in Update 21.0 (2017-06-29), over 3 years after said image was first revealed.
  • Compared to the normal Sicarus, the Sicarus Prime emits a high-pitched "whirr" at the end of a burst, suggesting that its projectiles are energy-based.
    • Further supporting this is its reload animation, where the top part of the gun opens up and ejects a glowing capsule, and a new capsule is inserted in its place.
  • When it was first released the Sicarus Prime held 20 rounds in its magazine, making its last burst only fire 2 shots. Update 15.16 (2015-02-25) would increase its magazine size to 21 rounds and Update 19.4.2 (2016-12-20) would, along with additional buffs, further increase it to 24 rounds.
