What secondary weapons stand on their own?

[rolypoly]

Are there any? I hardly find use for one since they do so much worse than primary weapon. Are there any that can stand on their own?

[dyra55]

Vaykor Marelok, Atomos, Sonicor and many others

There are plenty of them, really

[Dusklite]

Of the top of my head:

• (Vaykor) Marelok
  
• (Synoid) Gammacor
  
• Rakta Ballistica
  
• (Sanctii) Castanas
  
• (Telos) Akbolto
  
• Lex Prime
  
• Angstrum
  
• Atomos
  
• Brakk
  
• Despair
  
• Hikou (Prime)
  
• Kohmak (to a certain extent)
  
• Sonicor
  
• maybe Vasto Prime
  
• probably others as well

TL;DR: yes.

Another vote for the Sonicor here, that thing is awesome! I'm also quite partial to the twin Grakatas, but those things need an ammo mutation and likely forma to get the most out of.

I think the Castanas stand on their own if you throw them on the ground. HEHE

[Rat]

The Furis, with the wings of purity augment, it making it a heal gun, even better with firerate

I see what you did there.

My lex prime 1 shots anything pre-wave 10 on T3D and never feels like it falls off. As a secondary I feel like it stands on its own.

Best in order
1. Sonicor
2. Lex Prime
3. Telos Akbolto
4. Veykor Marelok
5. Synoid Gammacor or despair

Actually, there are a lot of secondaries that out damage a primary. I personly use a lex prime pretty consistantly. It will fall off way after the rest of my primaries, except my bows.

[Iron Breaker]

Helios, Despair, lex prime, hikou prime

[Illumina]

Use an autofire trick with Stug and try not to kill yourself.

AkStilleto is a fun status-heavy weapon. It deals primarily impact but the status chance will keep on pushing them back into oblivion until they either die or you run out of ammo. This was my personal secondary weapon until I got my hands on a Lex Prime, but the Stilleto still has its moments.

Everyone seems to forget about the AkMagnus as well, which is tiered among the Lex Prime and Vasto Prime as a heavy-hitting, fast-firing secondary. You can take that thing into T4 and probably keep going up to the 10-15 minute mark with a solid build since ammo drops are pretty common. The power of these things are like the Sybaris: horrifying.

Lex Prime. Built right, it'll out DPS a Soma Prime (that's including the headshot multiplier).

[kenzha]

Hornet strike, barrel diffusion, lethal torrent and your aim.

[No u]

Furis, no i'm serious, it can steal HP if you use the augment

[serker31]

Kulstar, V.Marelok, Rakta Ballistica. Latter is my favorite for a long time, because it blows neut bubbles in one or two bursts, and viral augment makes it quite impressive in grineer cleanup. Also extra energy from augment do not hurt.
