Halikar Wraith is new, and there's a whole bunch of solid-but-not-amazing items this time around.

New Items

• Halikar Wraith - MR13 Thrown Melee.
  

Rankings

Must Buy

• None.

Good

• Halikar Wraith -  I'm no expert with Thrown Melees, but the Halikar Wraith's base stats are excellent, notably with extremely high base Damage. However, it has a smaller explosion than the Xoris, and doesn't have guaranteed Slash procs like the Glaive Prime, which are the two best Glaives currently as far as I'm aware for those exact reasons. Nonetheless, HalikarW deals a boatload of direct damage, and Thrown Melees are absurdly powerful in their current iteration.
  
• Quanta Vandal - MR10 Hybrid Rifle. Primary Fire is a very solid Electric beam, with the longest range of all beam weapons. Alternate Fire launches slow-moving cube projectiles, which deal particularly good explosive damage when detonated by Primary Fire. An unusual but versatile and effective Primary.
  
• Prisma Obex -  MR10 Sparring Melee. The fastest of all Sparring Melee, with very good Crit and Status, but low base Damage that is Impact focused.
• Primed Fever Strike - +165% Toxin for Melee. Combines to make Viral or Corrosive, and is also a solid damage type on its own. A big boost where direct damage is the goal.
  
• Primed Cryo Rounds - +165% Cold for Rifles. Notably combines to make Viral, which suits the current elemental meta. Can be troublesome to fit in builds due to its near-exclusive D polarity.
  
• Primed Charged Shell - +165% Electric for Shotguns. Notably combines into Corrosive or Radiation, both of which are strong but not as versatile as Viral. Nonetheless, a good damage boost wherever Electric is used.
  

Niche

• Sands of Inaros - Quest for Inaros. Always in Baro's stock.
  
• 3 Day Resource Booster - A useful buy if Plat is difficult for you to acquire, and you intend to farm a lot of resources.
  
• Baro Void-Signal - Key for exclusive mission series, awarding unique cosmetics. Can only be bought and played with Inaros Prime.
  

Do Not Buy

• Maim/Fanged Fusillade - +120% Slash for Secondaries/Rifles. Used in almost no builds. Primaries have access to Hunter Munitions and Internal Bleeding for Slash procs, while Secondaries which have access to Hemorrhage and notably Carnis Stinger. If you really do want these mods, they drop from the Hydrolyst so can be bought from other players for very cheap.
