Notes
- Although the Secura Penta can hold 2 more rounds in its magazine, it can only have five grenades out like the regular Penta.

Tips
- Can reach over 100% status chance with:
- Thermite Rounds, Rime Rounds, High Voltage, Malignant Force, and Catalyzer Link.
- Rifle Aptitude and Hammer Shot combined with two of Thermite Rounds, Rime Rounds, High Voltage, Malignant Force, or Catalyzer Link.
- Rifle Aptitude or Hammer Shot combined with four of Thermite Rounds, Rime Rounds, High Voltage, Malignant Force, or Catalyzer Link.
Trivia
- The Secura Penta's magazine becomes visibly larger as magazine capacity is increased. As the model was designed for the Penta's 5 grenades, the default 7 protrude through the bottom of the gun.

Patch History
Hotfix 27.2.2 (2020-03-06)
Reduced the following AoE weapons Radial Damage Falloff from central impact that were all previously 90%:
- Secura Penta: 60%
Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)
- Self Damage Changes
We are getting rid of Self Damage and replacing it with something else: instead of Self Damage, it’s now ‘Stagger’. This change completely removes the chance of killing yourself, and instead now creates scenarios where you will interrupt yourself - or ‘Stagger’ - to varying degrees if you aren’t careful.
The degrees of Self-Interrupt start with a small stumble all the way to full knockdown depending on how close you are to the center of explosion. Any Mods referring to Self Damage will be converted to acknowledge Stagger.
With this Self-Interrupt system, we have added dozens of new recovery animations that harness a ninja-like recovery experience. By pressing ‘Jump’ at the correct time, you can execute a ninja-skill-based knockdown recovery to ALL in-game knockdowns. This ninja recovery window is indicated by a glowing FX on your Warframe.
In the original Dev Workshop, we said:
As a result of this overall systemic change, Weapons with Stagger will be getting approximately a 20% buff in Damage, with any weapons with AOE receiving a 50% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact.
This is no longer accurate after continued testing. What we are doing now is:
No damage buffs have been added, but any weapons with AOE are receiving ~20% increase in Radius. Additionally, AOE weapons are receiving a 90% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact. This means on the very outer section of the explosion Radius 10% of the Damage will be dealt. Tactics will be deadly - aim true, Tenno.
Why: Several players brought up the history of the Tonkor and we want to make sure we ship this change in a place that’s conservative in its starting point from a balance perspective. The complete removal of Self Damage does change the pace of destruction with some of the game’s most powerful weapons, so we want to make sure we can iterate upwardly instead of releasing a bonanza of explosions with no other choices.
Hotfix 24.5.5 (2019-03-25)
- Updated Secura Penta's napalm projectiles when using the Napalm Grenades Mod, so that they better reflect the Penta's stats (higher *Status Effect and Critical Chances).
Update 22.12 (2018-02-09)
- Status chance increased from 10% to 26%.
- Critical chance increased from 10% to 26%.
- Damage decreased from 375 to 300.
- Ammo capacity decreased from 30 to 28.
Update 17.3 (2015-09-02)
- Introduced.
