The Cronus is one of the first weapons players can craft (along with the Heat Sword), and is wielded by Captain Vor. Compared to the Skana players can start with, the Cronus has a higher attack speed, making it a reasonable upgrade for sword wielders early in the game.

Cronus can be sold for 5,000 Credits 5,000.

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).
