CODEX

Forgo ammunition with the regenerating energy disc in this plasma throwing pistol.

The Cycron is a Corpus plasma  Radiation beam pistol with a battery that automatically regenerates ammo after the user stops firing for a second.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000‍5,000.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Radiation damage.

Advantages:

• Innate  Radiation damage – effective against Alloy Armor, Robotic, and Infested Sinew.
• High  Puncture damage – effective against armor.
• Third highest status chance of all continuous secondaries, behind the  Embolist and  Kuva Nukor.
  • Innate  Radiation confuses enemies and makes them indiscriminately attack each other.
• Pinpoint accuracy.
  •  Magnum Force's accuracy penalty is minimal on this weapon.
• Innate 1 meter punch through.
• Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
• Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
  • Has a 1 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
    • Regenerates 40 ammo per second; takes 1 second to regenerate a fully depleted battery.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  Radiation damage – less effective against Shielded, Infested, and Fossilized.
• Low  Slash and no  Impact damage – less effective against health and shields.
• Damage ramps up from 30% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 30% over 2 seconds.
• Below average critical multiplier.
• Range limited to 24 meters.
• Does not benefit from mods that increase maximum ammo, due to lack of an ammo pool.
• Does not benefit from reload-triggered mods such as  Pressurized Magazine.

Acquisition

The Cycron's blueprint can be researched from the Energy Lab in the dojo.

Notes

• Similar to Ramparts and all Arch-guns, ammo starts to automatically regenerate after 1 seconds of not firing the weapon. This regeneration delay is affected by reload speed mods like  Quickdraw and  Stunning Speed. The regeneration rate is 40 ammo per second.
  • The reload speed can also be increased passively with  Chroma, by using a Toxin-based  Elemental Ward or being under the effect of  Speed or  Penance.
• The Cycron's beam has a maximum range of 24 meters.
  • This makes the Cycron an excellent weapon for multiple elemental builds as its innate Radiation status and a high status chance for other elemental procs allow it to take down enemies quickly with procs alone.
• Even if equipped with  Eject Magazine, the Cycron will not bypass its 1-second regeneration delay when holstered. Instead, the mod will simply accelerate the rate at which ammo is regenerated when holstered, once the delay is over.
• Because the 40 shots count as part of a single magazine rather than an ammo pool, mods like  Trick Mag have no effect.

Trivia

• The Cycron is the first weapon to use the ammo regeneration mechanic outside of Archwing.
• Corpus script           is written on the side of the gun, spelling "BCDE KLMNO VW YZ".
