Braton

"The BRATON is an automatic rifle. Its high fire rate and accuracy make it a favorite among Tenno."

- In-Game Description

The Braton is the upgraded version of MK1-Braton. It offers more damage and puts out bullets almost twice as fast with the cost of a smaller clip and less accuracy, although it is viable for any range. A well modded Braton can be surprisingly well, even in higher level missions, similar to a modded Braton Vandal.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * Good base damage.
 * Fastest rate of fire amongst second tier rifles.
 * Fairly accurate and low recoil.
 * Easy to acquire - only requires credits.

Disadvantages:
 * No polarity slots.
 * Sub-optimal ammo economy.

Acquisition
The Braton can be purchased for 25,000 from the market.

Tips

 * When used extensively or playing solo, the ammunition of an unmodded Braton can burn down quite quickly. Consider switching to your pistol or utilizing melee combat when possible. Alternatively, you can fire in quick bursts and aim at the weak points. Holding down the fire will just make a majority of the bullets miss.
 * When fighting at long ranges, consider firing in short bursts or taking a calculated risk and charging forward. The ammo saved from sustained long range fighting far and away compensates for any sizable amount of close range damage.
 * Using the mods Metal Auger and/or Shred makes the Braton useful for taking down large crowds without wasting too much ammo, although the mod takes up a lot of capacity. The mod Split Chamber can have very similar effects, but it also takes up a large amount of mod capacity.
 * Using the Rifle Ammo Mutation mod can help regain lost ammo when needed, due to the weapons semi-quick ammo consumption.

Trivia

 * Originally the weapon shared the same model as Latron, with similar damage and fire rate, it now has the same model as MK1-Braton, not confirmed if intended or subject to change.
 * The Braton is said to be a Corpus manufactured rifle, and is possibly available to Tenno via a technology trade agreement, or theft. The Corpus however are said to value profit above all else, so it is possible that they sell the rifle to the Tenno/Lotus.
 * The Braton has Corpus script on it.
 * There's a Braton Skin from IAHGames promo.
