Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Slash damage.

Advantages

• High  Slash damage – effective against health and shields (although  Puncture and  Impact is much better against the respective damage classes).
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages

• Relatively low  Puncture damage and low  Impact damage – less effective against health and shields.
• Below average attack speed.
• Stance slot has polarity, does not match the Conclave-only  Rising Steel stance.

Acquisition

Cronus' main blueprint can be obtained from defeating Captain Vor on Tolstoj, Mercury.

Item	Source	Chance	Expected	Nearly Guaranteed

Trivia

• Cronus (alternatively Cronos or Kronos) is the youngest of the twelve titans in Greek mythology and father of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon.
• Since Update 7.8 (2013-04-19), the Cronus Blueprint will only be a guaranteed reward the first time Tolstoj is completed and its drop chance exponentially decreases with each repetition. This was put in place to prevent credit farming.
• The Cronus was the original melee weapon of the Stalker before update Update 7.11 (2013-05-17).
