Mara Detron

The Mara Detron is a time-limited edition of the Detron that has altered stats along with a unique animated skin.

 * Fast reload time.
 * Good ammo efficiency.
 * Can use the Detron-exclusive mod Thermagnetic Shells.

Disadvantages:
 * Projectiles have travel time.
 * Small magazine size.
 * -exclusive damage can limit its utility (reduced damage versus Shields and severely reduced damage against Infested and Fossilized).
 * Low critical chance and multiplier.
 * Low status chance.

Comparisons:
 * Compared to the Detron:
 * Lower damage (210 vs. 280).
 * Lower Recoil.

Acquisition

 * The Mara Detron can be purchased from Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay for and 500. Note that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and this weapon may not be available on a succeeding appearance.
 * Like Syndicate Weapons, unranked Detron Maras without Forma and Orokin Catalysts can be traded between players.

Tips

 * The Mara Detron's increased fire rate means that mods like Lethal Torrent make it fire faster than can be clicked. Giving the fire button a secondary binding to the mouse wheel can alleviate this.
 * The Mara Detron is a secondary shotgun so multi shot mods Lethal Torrent and Barrel Diffusion will increase the pellet count.
 * As the Mara Detron is essentially an improved Detron, refer to the Detron's Tips for more upgrade/optimization possibilities.

Trivia

 * The Mara Detron can be visually identified from the standard Detron by the diffuse cloud textured animation on its body.
 * This animated texture is based off the weapon's energy color, and thus can be changed to match any hue the user wishes for.
 * As with the Syndicate reward weapons, when the Mara Detron is stolen by a Drahk Master it will appear as a regular Detron on the ground and will revert to its Mara variant when picked up.
 * The Mara Detron has a distinct sound when fired, closer to traditional shotguns than the energy-based weapons regularly used by the Corpus.
 * Despite being from the Orokin Era, it does not appear to be manufactured by the Orokin. As a smuggler's weapon, it may be implied this weapon was designed outside of their authority. It might similarly be speculated this could be a clue to the very early origins of the Corpus.
 * The Mara Detron ejects its magazine when reloading.
 * The flowing effect on the weapon is similar to the flowing effect on Steam's Phased Skins promotional items.
 * The Mara Detron was leaked as an entry in a player's Profile under Equipment, along with the Imperator Vandal, before it was revealed to be sold by the Void Trader Baro Ki'Teer.
 * Mara is a Hebrew female adjective, meaning bitter.
 * This is currently the first and only Mara-type weapon.
 * On Baro's 50th visit, this item could be purchased at half price for and 250.
