Notes

• Detron or its components and blueprint are not tradable.
• The damage listed is the combination of all seven pellets' damage values, the actual damage per pellet is 40 .

Tips

• The Detron can be made into an effective anti-Grineer weapon by adding  damage and damage, allowing it to deal extra damage against Ferrite Armor, Alloy Armor and Machinery.
• In a similar vein, damage can be added to drastically improve performance vs Corpus shields, whilst improves performance against Infested.
• The Detron's Index mod,  Thermagnetic Shells, causes enemies killed by it to explode, dealing radial damage to all nearby enemies.

Trivia

• Colloquially, a "hand cannon" often refers to an extremely powerful pistol chambered for a high caliber cartridge such as the .500 S&W Magnum or .50 Action Express.
• In Livestream 17, the developers jokingly claimed that the Detron pistols intended as rewards for the Gradivus Dilemma were "melted down and used to make MOAs." Despite being facetious, this has more or less proven to be true, as the Zanuka Hunter drops the Detron blueprint and parts.
• Like the  Flux Rifle and  Amprex, the Detron does not follow the Corpus weapon naming convention.
• During the reload animation, a pack of 6 energy cells is ejected from the gun, although, the Detron has only the capability of firing 5 rounds before reloading. This pack can be found on the floor after reloading.
  • The ejected magazine will appear in the default colors no matter what the player has selected.
• The Detron had an entry in the Codex shortly before players could actually obtain it (at the time, the Zanuka Hunter dropped nothing upon defeat).
• The existence of the  Mara Detron hints that this is actually built on a much older design, raising questions about the origins of the Corpus.

Patch History

Update 27.4 (2020-05-01)

• Cleaned up FX to improve performance with the Detron, and tweaked their projectile lifetime to 3-5 seconds.

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

Greater than 100% Status having meaning

Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.

Shotguns as a special case means we have buffed the Status Chance of all Shotguns by x3 or greater. The UI now behaves to show the reality that you are determining Status Chance per pellet.
