Secondary weapon popularity in February 2026 is split between two camps: pocket cannons that delete targets, and primers that make your whole loadout hit harder. These are the five most visited secondary weapon build pages in the dataset, ordered from most popular to least.
Laetum
The Devouring Void | Raw Non crit Laetum One shot Steel Path, by ninjase
Laetum keeps its throne because it behaves like two weapons in one. The build’s own writeup calls out the headshot to Incarnon loop and frames the payoff as a compact launcher feeling sidearm that hits far above its size. The fact of the matter is, Laetum is one of the best weapons in the game, and once you unlock the Incarnon version, it's very difficult to find a weapon that can compare. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Laetum tops the list, nor that Ninjase's one shot build would be so popular.
Dual Toxocyst
Dual Toxocyst INCARNON | Raw Damage Headshot and Variants, by ninjase
This is built around the idea that headshots are a switch you flip, not a bonus you occasionally notice. With Incarnon access and variants, it stays popular for players who want a secondary that can keep pace with primary level pressure. What really turns the Dual Toxocyst into a damage powerhouse is the synergistic effect of Merciless Gunfight with Fevered Frenzy in Incarnon mode. While the Forma spend is high, this is an extremely powerful secondary that is worth the investment.
Ocucor
Surging Tendrils | Ocucor Sentient Surge, by ninjase
Ocucor’s draw is automation that still feels earned. This build highlights Sentient Surge as the key that keeps tendrils and momentum alive, letting the weapon behave like a beam that refuses to stop feeding. The Ocucor is certainly a weapon that takes a little getting used to, as Sentient Surge will make or break whether you're clearing rooms of enemies in a trigger pull or pulling your hair out in frustration.
Kuva Nukor
Kuva Nukor | Enervated Crit DPS Viral Heat and Viral Electric, by ninjase
Kuva Nukor stays relevant because it is both damage and setup in a single trigger pull making it quite possibly the most prized Kuva weapon. This page frames the build as a highly optimized approach, with elemental options to match the faction you are trying to erase. This well-explained highly flexible build from Ninjase delves into many of the best statuses to slot for as you battle your way through Steel Path.
Epitaph Prime
Pure Primer Quickshot Epitaph | Viral Heat and Elec Fortifier, by ninjase
This build doesn't hide itself as a primer first and foremost, built to make everything else look better. The notes call out Secondary Fortifier for Overguard theft and suggest swapping elements depending on your target set, which is exactly the kind of practical flexibility that drives repeat clicks. However, don't let Epitaph fool you, holding the weapon and knocking a headshot will almost certainly put an end to any enemy in front of you, making Epitaph Prime one of the best all-around Secondary Weapons in the game.
