This arm-cannon, ripped from a Sentient, rapid-fires thermal pulses that explode in an electrical blast. Features an ammo-less quick charge capacitor, that emits a knock-back pulse and strips Sentient damage resistances when fully discharged.

The Shedu is a Sentient Arm-Cannon that fires Heat beams that explode in a 5.5-meter radius on impact with Electric damage and sports an ammo-less recharge capacitor. It also releases a 20-meter pulse when expending all ammo which staggers enemies with an Impact proc and also removes Sentient damage resistances.

This weapon deals Heat damage.

Advantages:

High critical chance and status chance.
Above-average critical multiplier.
Shots explode in a 5.5-meter radius after impacting a surface or enemy.
- Explosion has innate Electric damage – effective against Machinery and Robotic.
- Explosion inflicts no self-damage to the user.
Fully depleting the magazine produces a 20-meter pulse that staggers nearby enemies with a guaranteed Impact proc and removes Sentient and Shadow Stalker damage resistances.
Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
- Has a 1-second delay after the pulse before ammo begins to regenerate. If there are still rounds left, the delay is 0.25 seconds instead.
  - Regenerates 25 ammo per second; takes 0.3 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted battery excluding the delay.
Able to perform actions limited to secondary weapons, such as carrying objects or firing during bleedout.
Innate two polarities.

Explosion has innate Electric damage – less effective against Alloy Armor.
- Damage cannot be increased with Impact, Puncture or Slash mods.

AcquisitionEdit

The weapon blueprint is given to the player at the end of the Erra quest. Additional blueprints can be bought from Cephalon Simaris for 100,000‍100,000

The Shedu's components are rare drops from Symbilysts found in Sentient ships that appear in the Veil Proxima during Empyrean missions. The ship appears every 2 hours and 45 minutes, occupying one random node for 30 minutes, indicated by a red flashing symbol. The parts can be traded between players.

NotesEdit

The Shedu's particle effects can make it very difficult to aim. To offset this, players may either change the Shedu's energy color to black or reduce particle density altogether via the Options menu.
Since the Shedu is a one-handed weapon, it can be used with one-handed actions, such as during Bleedout or while carrying an object.
Unlike some other explosive/area-of-effect weapons such as Penta and Ogris, and more like Astilla, the explosions made by shots from Shedu do not penetrate obstacles such as walls, floors and objects. thus, making it a bit trickier to utilize the full potential of its high radial attack range.

TipsEdit

As the Heat and Electric damage portions are separate from one another, the Shedu can get a combination of Gas and Corrosive with only a Toxin damage mod.

BugsEdit

For various reasons, the Shedu may end up unusable during a mission, and the only way to fix this is to use a Revive. Known bug triggers include:
- Attempting to shoot while the Shedu is recharging.
- Attempting to shoot the weapon semi-auto instead of going full-auto by holding the trigger.
- Getting grabbed by an enemy harpoon attack, such as a Scorpion or an Infested Ancient.
- Loading into a public match that has already started. This particular trigger requires confirmation.
- Getting a host migration during the mission, losing the weapon entirely and becoming "unarmed" if no other weapons are carried.

Most if not all of the known bugs were fixed as of Update 27.0.9.

TriviaEdit

Shedu is an Assyrian guardian deity. The term also means demon or insanity in several other languages.
When Rhino is using Iron Skin, Shedu's appearance is also affected. covering certain parts of surface with the same metallic tint as Rhino. it's also affected by the warframe's tint color if the Iron Skin was cast by Rhino Prime to match the owner.
