Tips[edit | edit source]

Sell the weapon after acquiring around 25,000‍25,000 and reaching rank 30, as the Braton is much more useful for missions after Mercury.
Using Rifle Ammo Mutation can help regain lost ammo due to the weapon's ammo consumption, although much lower than other rifles.
- New players may not have access to this mod.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Update 14.0 buffed the MK1-Braton's damage and rate of fire to make it closer to the Braton in terms of performance.
Originally, the MK1-Braton was unable to equip skins. This was eventually fixed in Hotfix 16.3.3.1
