Secondary weapons offer a versatile backup or even primary damage source, often excelling in specific niches:

  • Pistols: Fast-firing, accurate, and often have good critical stats (e.g., Akstiletto Prime, Kuva Nukor, Laetum).
  • Dual Pistols: High fire rate, good for status application (e.g., Akbolto Prime, Akarius).
  • Throwing Weapons: Silent, often with area-of-effect or unique mechanics (e.g., Despair, Pox, Spira Prime).
  • Beam Weapons: Continuous damage, good for status (e.g., Atomos, Gaze).

Acquisition: Similar to primary weapons, blueprints are available from the Market (Credits), Clan Dojo research, quest rewards, or enemy drops. Prime variants come from Void Relics, and Kuva/Tenet versions from Liches/Sisters.

Modding: Prioritize base damage (Hornet Strike), multishot (Barrel Diffusion), critical chance/damage (Pistol Gambit, Target Cracker), and elemental combinations. Many secondary weapons are excellent for status application due to their high fire rate.
