CODEX

A special version of the standard Braton rifle with a slower fire rate but offering higher accuracy and damage values. The Braton Vandal has been customized by the Tenno with a blue-green metallic finish, and Lotus branding on the grips.

The Braton Vandal is the Vandal version of the  Braton, featuring higher base damage, accuracy, and status chance, though it sacrifices Fire Rate and damage in trade for damage. The Braton Vandal does not deviate far from its origins, performing as a multipurpose rifle for any situation.

This weapon can be sold for 1 Credits 1.

Acquisition

This weapon was available for purchase for a limited time during the Open Beta Celebration Weekend (Closed Beta Hotfix 6.3.1 (2013-02-15)), starting from Friday, February 15, 2013 at 12:00 pm EST, through Tuesday, February 19, 2013 until 9:00 am EST. It could be bought for 1 Credits 1 and had no rank restriction, so anyone who logged in during the Open Beta Celebration Weekend could acquire it, regardless of time spent playing the game.

After the Open Beta Celebration Weekend, Braton Vandal was unobtainable until Update 22.18 (2018-04-20), in which it was added as a reward in Elite Sanctuary Onslaught, a game mode introduced to the game in that update. All the parts can be traded, although players must have a Mastery Rank of at least 4 to acquire the blueprint.

Notes

• The Braton Vandal is the only Braton variant to come with a polarity.

Tips

• When used extensively or playing solo, the ammunition of an unmodded Braton Vandal can burn down quickly, though not as quickly as the Braton. Consider switching to your pistol or utilizing melee combat when appropriate.
• When fighting at long ranges, consider firing in short bursts or taking a calculated risk and charging forward. The ammo saved from avoiding sustained long range fighting can compensate for the damage you'll take in melee/short range combat.
• Use the  Rifle Ammo Mutation mod to help regain ammo when needed, or bring Squad Ammo Restores. Alternatively, using Carrier's Ammo Case is another viable method of keeping your ammo at a reasonable amount.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 7.11 (2013-05-17), the Stalker used a Braton Vandal as his primary weapon.
• The Braton Vandal features a different sound to that of the Standard  Braton.
• When introduced, the Braton Vandal was a straight upgrade of the Braton, with increased statistical damage and fire-rate over the standard edition. Later on, however, the regular Braton had its stats buffed, possibly due to the debates over the fact that the vandal version was considered by most to be the strongest assault rifle at the time. It was buffed again, later on, to actually equal the damage of the Vandal version, making the Vandal's higher accuracy the only advantage over the Regular.
  • Damage 2.0 completely rebalanced the Braton weapons, giving the Vandal version higher damage but in turn, having less impact and slash damage compared to the regular Braton.
• As with the old Braton model, the old version of the Braton Vandal's model had an engraving at the end of the black shoulder stock that read, "LUKSOR FORGE" in Corpus. In addition to this, there was binary written on the side closer to the stock, under the Luksor writing, and at the point directly after the writing. When putting them altogether from back to bottom to the front, they spell out the letters "GG"
  • As with the new Braton Model in place as of Update 19.10 (2017-02-09), the Braton Vandal has had its old Corpus engravement has been replaced with Orokin engraving, which reads "Evolution" on both sides directly after the black portion of the stock stops.
