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.

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.
