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 magazine and less accuracy although it is viable for any range. A well modded Braton can perform surprisingly well even in higher level missions, similarly to a modded Braton Vandal.

This weapon can be sold for .3s

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 mods take up a sizeable amount of mod 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 weapon's semi-quick ammo consumption.

Trivia

 * Originally, the weapon shared the same model as the Latron, with similar damage and fire rate. It now has the same model as the MK1-Braton, though it is not confirmed if it was intended or subject to change.
 * The Braton is said to be a Corpus manufactured rifle and is possibly available to the Tenno via a technology trade agreement or theft.[citation needed] The Corpus, however, are said to value profit above all else, it is a possibility that they retail the rifle to the Tenno.
 * The Braton has Corpus script on it.
 * The script reads "Lucsor Forge". Possibly the name of the factory it was manufactured in.
 * There's a Braton Skin from an IAHGames promo.
 * During Hotfix 10.6.1, an unreleased Nvidia skin was leaked.  This was automatically applied to all bratons, and was subsequently removed in the next hotfix with the redtext reading "just a small change, you probably won't even notice" refering to the fact that not many people knew of the mistake.  It is unknown whether the skin will be officially released, or whether it was just a concept skin model.
