Trivia[edit | edit source]

This was the first Tonfa-type weapon in Warframe.
At 65,000‍65,000 credits, the Kronen has the most expensive weapon blueprint in Warframe.
The Kronen is one of the winning weapons from the fan-created melee weapon contest (preceding the Silva & Aegis). Its design was submitted by the player Datareaper.
Kronen is German for "crowns" or "coins".
When the Kronen was first released, it was unable to do wall attacks due to a bug. This was fixed in Update 14.8.
Perhaps the name is a reference to the Hellboy film character, Colonel Kroenen, who prefers using bladed tonfas.
