Detron

"The sleek lines of the Detron conceal it's ferocious nature. The hand cannon's semi-automatic action takes down enemies with speed and efficiency"

- In-Game Description

The Detron was one of two rewards for The Gradivus Dilemma event, the other being the Brakk. It was not awarded from the event, however, the blueprint is now obtainable from the Harvester.

The Detron can now be seen in the hands of grey/white-suited Corpus Crewmen that can only be encountered on the Corpus Gas City tileset. In their hands, it fires a spray of blue energy bolt projectiles, behaving like a shotgun.

Characteristics
Advantages

 * Deals Radiation damage which can confuse targets.
 * Equal damage to Bronco

 * High pellet count.

Disadvantages:
 * Small clip size.
 * Slow fire rate.
 * Main blueprint and components drop from Harvester, and is insanely difficult to aquire.
 * Requires three separate parts including the blueprint, along with ten Orokin Cells.

Acquisition
As of Hotfix 11.5.5, the Harvester drops the blueprint and its components.

Trivia

 * Much like the Brakk, The Detron uses a revolver mechanism.
 * Colloquially, a "hand cannon" often refers to an extremely powerful pistol chambered for a high caliber cartridge such as .50 S&amp;W Magnum or .50 Action Express.
 * In Livestream 17, the developers jokingly claimed that the Detron pistols intended as rewards for the Gradivus Dilemma were "melted down and used to make MOAs."
 * This has more or less proven to be true, as the Harvester is a Zanuka variant that drops the Detron blueprint/parts.
