Lex Prime is a killer wep. Put like 4 or 5 forma on it with the primed target cracker, primed pistol gambit, barrel diff, hornet strike etc. It is like a beast little sniper gun. It's very accurate and does crazy damage. There are many weapons in warframe which seem lackluster at first, but if you put some forma on them and mod them right, they're really good. Also there are arcanes which make pistols more powerful, like arcane awakening and precision. Also 50k? That's nothin at all my man. Pocket change even for a new player. You'll get your credits back in no time.

That's a strange way to spell Knell.

The early game lex is very weak if you lack of mods or potatos (You don't need forma unless your mods are too big), to properly kill enemies with a Lex you have to shoot them right in the head, Knell simply is like that alll the time.

what are some good mods for it?

any mod that's good for pistols. hornet strike, crit mods, multi-shot are good places to start

[AzureTheGamerKobold]

Uhh don't mean to disagree but--- the Lex was my baby for ages in Warframes... and then i used the AK lex... and then the Lex prime--- honestly what are you doing using it without mods? cause everything sucks without mods...

Hornet strike, augur message, pistol gambit and target cracker (try to get the primed versions), hollow point, steady hands, lethal torrent and two elemetal mods accord to the enemies you will fight.

Exactly. The Lex has good base stats for a handcannon semi-auto pistol. This means that once decent mods are fitted, it shines. Even the Lato can do work with decent mods, but the Lex is great for it's ease of accquistion and low MR requirement. It used to have no MR requirement and was one of the two things I reccomended to new players (along with the Karak) because it's such a solid secondary for any situation.

Glad to see you looked at the advice, gave it an honest try and then admitted your initial impression was mistaken. That's a valuable ability too few people have, or at least use.
