See Mission Rewards#Standard Missions for definitions on reward table rotations.
Drop chances are rounded to two decimal places, following the official drop tables repository.
Expected means a player can expect to obtain at least one of a drop every N attempts on average.
Nearly Guaranteed refers to the total number of attempts a player needs to obtain
a 1 in 10^2,3, and 4 probability not to have recieved a single drop (99%, 99.9%, and 99.99% probability to have received at least one drop).
The combined probability of multiple drops is 1 - ((1-A%) * (1-B%) * ...)
(add drops in same rotation)

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. It would ultimately be changed to the 5% drop chance it currently has now.
- The Cronus was the original melee weapon of the Stalker before update Update 7.11 (2013-05-17).
- Despite being classed as a Tenno weapon, the Cronus is wielded by Captain Vor, who is Grineer.
- This would make Cronus the only weapon in the game to be used by an enemy whose faction is not related to the weapon itself.
- It's possible that Captain Vor took the Cronus from a previously defeated Tenno.
