CODEX

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 an improved Sicarus that sacrifices a small amount of its Impact damage to triple Puncture and Slash damage, and also sports higher accuracy, faster fire rate, and a larger magazine compared to its predecessor.

On September 29, 2015 it was announced that the Sicarus Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables. Any preexisting components or fully-built weapons will remain as is.

Sicarus Prime was available from December 6, 2016 to January 3, 2017 as part of the Fire and Ice Prime Vault.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000‍ 5,000.

NotesEdit

Due to its high accuracy, when combined with the Steady Hands mod this weapon becomes powerful at long range.
The lower 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.
As of Update 15.16, the Sicarus Prime had 21 rounds per magazine, instead of the original 20 rounds per magazine which would result in the last burst firing only 2 shots.
As of Update 19.4.2, the Sicarus Prime has 24 rounds per magazine, and has received a boost to most stats.

TriviaEdit

Added to the game in Update 11.0.
It could be seen in Ember Prime's right hand during the artwork show of Livestream 18.
The reload animation involves the front half of the barrel sliding forward, and the two side brackets opening outwards. A glowing capsule is then ejected and a new one is placed into the barrel before it is closed again.
- The capsule's energy color is affected by energy color.
Compared to the normal Sicarus, the Sicarus Prime has a high pitch "whirring" sound at the end of its burst, suggesting the rounds to be energy based.
