Notes[]

The projectiles may possibly obstruct view when firing if the energy color is a bright color such as yellow, blue, or green.
The projectiles ricochet off of a Nullifier Crewman's bubble.
Due to the projectiles firing from alternating barrels, this has a convergence effect where the bolts will meet at the point the crosshair is on. This will result in the bolts crossing in an 'X' if they miss their target.

Incarnon Genesis[]

Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn Dera Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Dera with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength.

Evolution[]

This section is transcluded from Dera Incarnon Genesis § Evolutions. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

Installing the Dera Incarnon Genesis requires 20 Pathos Clamps, 80 Eevani, and 70 Ueymag.
When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
- Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.

Evolution I[]

Weakpoint hits charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
Fire high power beams and gain Magnetic Damage.
- Fires lasers that inflict Magnetic damage. Gains 3 Punch Through and Damage, Critical Chance, and Critical Multiplier are increased, but Status Chance and Fire Rate are lowered.
Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticle by achieving weakpoint hits and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 25 weakpoints will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
- Charges do not generate on the backpacks of most MOA variants, or vulnerability spots generated by Sonar or Detect Vulnerability in places other than actual weakpoints.
- Weakpoints on corpses or Invulnerable targets do not build charges.
- Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Dera's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 2 rounds to a maximum of 50. Once all ammunition is expended, the Dera reverts to its normal form.
- Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
- Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as Energized Munitions).
- Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

Trivia[]

When introduced to the game, the weapon dealt only 7 damage because it was using the same projectiles that Corpus Crewmen's rifles did.
The Dera has a very thin width, and viewed from the front it is only a few inches across or less.
- Given the blocky, utilitarian design of the weapon and its straight pistol grip, the Dera would likely be very uncomfortable to use. However, Crewmen wear thick suits, so this may be of little consequence.
Originally the Dera would only fire out of its lower barrel but the newest version of the weapon alternates between barrels with shots from both hitting at the same point regardless of range.
Reload animation does not seem to have any benefit other than mechanical movement, as no magazine or ammo is seen being added or taken away during the animation. It can be speculated that it is a heatsink cycling procedure of some kind.
In line with the Latin naming scheme of most Corpus weapons, the word Dera has its roots with the Latin verb derado which means "I scrape off or graze off ".
The Tenno researched version has perfect accuracy, however the Dera issued to Crewmen does not.
Prior to Damage 2.0, Dera's Laser damage was most suitable against shields compared to its current low Impact damage. On the other hand, Laser damage was one of the weakest damage types against armor. Oddly enough, Diamond Skin claimed to reduce damage from this obsolete damage type (it currently reduces Radiation damage instead, and has since been updated accordingly).
- It can be turned into an effective anti-Grineer weapon by adding Piercing Caliber and equipping a corrosive or radiation build.
