Whats the Best Weapons for Spy Missions

[Hacker2Good]

Melee primary secondary what are the best for spy missions also what are good mods for loki on spy mission

[Donitsi]

Duration for Loki and any weapon is fine but I recommend hit scan weapon and Punch Through mod for enemies behind glass and Corpus cameras. I use:

Braton Prime
Azima
Glaive

Spy rooms do not need any special weapons.

[Archwraith]

Anything that can one-shot an enemy. Usually mine will be either Tonkor / Dread for primary, Lex Prime for secondary, and DD with Covert Lethality.

Loki with full duration. Coupled with Hushed Invisibility should you want to wreck havoc with loud weapon but want to stay silent, such as Tonkor and its friend.

[Konachibi]

Crit bows (paris, dread, cernos) for primary for 1-shotting enemies.
Rakta Ballistica or Hikou Prime's for secondary for silence and high damage output (honestly the hikou primes are insane when fully modded)
Karyst, Cronus or any kind of single dagger with the covert lethality mod fitted, as they can instantly kill anything.

[Spook]

Anything really heavy hitting with a silencer mod on it, I guess. I use a silenced lex prime mostly.

Glaive or redeemer probably offer the best melee utility by being ranged and silent innately, but the ease of silencing any weapon by giving up a bit of its overkill damage (spy missions just aren't that high level) means you can kind of do whatever.

If you want to be able to one shot the sensor drones instead of sneaking around them you'll need some pretty good firepower, though.

Random non-syndicate bow for cameras
Ceramic dagger w/covert lethality

[Carnasid]

Hushed Invis augment and just take whatever. Seriously, not even sortie spy missions require particularly strong weapons.

Maybe the lv 100 ones, but now they've got the assasinations in there making spy runs even less common.

if you use hushed invisibility, primary and sidearm can be any one-shot-killer weapon - i would refrain from using aoe-weapon (except shotguns maybe) if you also want to do stealth killing everything in your way (for affinity/focus farming) during the run. further more, the syndicate weapons tend to break your stealth too when their damage-meter is full and they release their aoe-effect. for melee, anything you like - since you are invisible most of the time, a glaive isn't really necessary. i like to use the redeemer though. i high level sortie spy missions, you might want a dagger weapon with covert lethality in it, since you can kill nearly every enemy if you get them un-alerted (btw: if you use ivara instead loki for the run the combination of her sleeparrow and a dagger with this mod let you also kill mobs that were alerted before you put them into lala-land).
my stealth loadout is normally: loki/dread/lex prime/redeemer/carrier/sweeper

indeed, but with the same stealth loadout you can do most sortie 3 assassinations solo too - the only exception of that was lephantis yesterday (for this bugger i needed a team and my trin)

[Carnasid]

Lephantis was actually not that bad. Slash build S.Tigris with Nova and he went down pretty quick with minimal hassle.

I can do it with Chroma and an unsilenced shotgun, so...
