Dera does laser type dmg. Laser type dmg = freeze dmg in reductions. Except that freeze dmg does bonus % to shields and of course slows.

Laser dmg advantage: 100% dmg to shields, can headshot corpus.

Disadvantages: Does extremely reduced dmg to heavy Grineer (lancers, etc.) on body shots AND on headshots. The reduction increases with level. Unmodded Dera does 8 dmg on headshot on lvl 25 Grineer. That is about 64% reduction ON HEADSHOT. Braton does 100% (normal type dmg), Boltor does 300% (piercing).

Don't even think about using this thing on Grineer. It's worthless. Add that to the description too, you can test it yourself very easily.
