The Vesper 77 is effectively a modern take on the Lex Prime, a slow-firing hand cannon that deals immense critical damage with each shot. It’s not the best weapon for speedrunning missions, but it takes out enemies in style. And it’s fully suppressed, making it the ideal choice for stealth Warframes and all stealth-themed loadouts.
How To Get The Vesper 77
The Vesper 77 is a potential bounty reward from Hollvania bounties, an area you unlock upon completing “The Hex” quest. Hollvania will refresh its bounty board every few hours with new objectives and reward pools. Some of these bounties can drop Vesper 77 parts. Complete the bounty to receive a random reward in its loot pool.
Of course, getting a weapon solely through RNG drops might take some time for less fortunate players. Fortunately, you can also purchase all Vesper 77 blueprints from Amir Beckett in the Hollvania hub. You’ll need to be Rank 4: 2-For-1 to purchase any of these component blueprints. Component blueprints cost 5,000 Standing, while the main blueprint costs 15,000.

Long-time Warframe players might recognize that the Vesper 77’s stats are almost identical to the Lex Prime. But while the Lex Prime has a powerful Incarnon adapter, the Vesper 77 only has two things going for it:
- It has a fairly high critical multiplier of 2.6x.
- Aiming this weapon marks enemy weakpoints and grants +0.4x final critical multiplier.
Those who own an Incarnon Lex Prime likely won’t have much reason to grab the Vesper 77, but if you love the feel of a slow-firing hand cannon that can one-tap enemies in most activities, then the Vesper 77 might be up your alley. Build this gun for critical stats to help offset its lack of AoE capabilities and slow fire rate.
Vesper 77 Builds
We’ll be sharing two builds for the Vesper 77 today, one that requires no Forma and another meant to push the Vesper’s damage as far as possible. As with all of our builds, feel free to replace any of our Primed or Galvanized mods with their standard variants. Elemental combinations should also be changed to exploit enemy faction vulnerabilities; you don’t have to use the same element for every faction.
Starter Build (Zero Forma)
Forma |
None |
---|---|
Variant |
Vesper 77 |
With two base polarities to work with, we can make a fairly powerful critical build without any Forma. We start with Galvanized Diffusion and Lethal Torrent for multishot scaling. Base damage is then scaled with Secondary Deadhead, granting +360% damage if you can land three precision kills.
For critical stats, we use Primed Pistol Gambit and Primed Target Cracker. If you don’t own Primed Pistol Gambit, Creeping Bullseye works just as well. Throw on an elemental combo to finish the build. We’re running Blast in our build example, utilizing Primed Heated Charge and Frostbite to greatly buff our damage.
Endgame Build (Six Forma)
Forma |
6 (5V, –) |
---|---|
Variant |
Vesper 77 |
Not much has changed with this variant. We now run Hornet Strike to help scale our base damage right off the bat, making it easier to ramp up Secondary Deadhead along with our Galvanized mods. We’re throwing in Galvanized Crosshairs into the mix as well, giving us a massive boost to critical chance after we land a few precision kills. Paired with Primed Pistol Gambit, you’ll be landing frequent orange crits.
Lethal Torrent scales our multishot, and Primed Target Cracker gives us some much-needed critical damage. Throw on your two favorite elemental damage mods to complete the build. We’re using Primed Heated Charge and Primed Convulsion for a ton of Radiation damage, but feel free to change your elemental mods to suit the faction you’re fighting.
