CODEX

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 beams that explode in a 6.6-meter radius on impact with damage and sports an ammo-less recharge capacitor. It also releases a 20-meter pulse when expending all ammo which staggers enemies with an proc and also removes Sentient damage resistances.

Characteristics

This weapon deals damage.

Advantages:

• Shots have innate damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh.
• High critical chance and status chance.
• Above-average critical multiplier.
• Shots explode in a 6.6-meter radius after impacting a surface or enemy.
  • Explosion has innate damage – effective against Machinery and Robotic.
• Fully depleting the magazine produces a 20-meter pulse that staggers nearby enemies with a guaranteed 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 0.4 seconds instead.
    • Regenerates 28 ammo per second; takes 0.25 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.

Disadvantages:

• Shots have innate damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
• Explosion has innate  damage – less effective against Alloy Armor.
  • Damage cannot be increased with , or mods.
• Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
• Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 40% from central impact.
• Projectiles have travel time.
• Small magazine size of 7 rounds.

Acquisition

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

The Shedu's components are rare drops from Symbilysts found in Sentient Anomalies that appear in the Veil Proxima during Empyrean missions. The ship occupies one random node for 30 minutes, indicated by a red flashing symbol, then rotates to a different node. Symbilysts can also be found in Operation: Scarlet Spear. The parts can be traded between players.

Item	Source	Chance	Expected	Nearly Guaranteed
Handle	Symbilyst	1%	~ 100 Kills	687 ± 229 Kills
Barrel	Symbilyst	1%	~ 100 Kills	687 ± 229 Kills
Receiver	Symbilyst	1%	~ 100 Kills	687 ± 229 Kills
Gun Chassis	Symbilyst	1%	~ 100 Kills	687 ± 229 Kills

All drop rates data is obtained from DE's official drop tables. See Mission Rewards#Standard Missions for definitions on reward table rotations.

Notes

• 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.
• 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.
• The discharge explosion can be exploited by tapping the fire button quickly after the weapon drains, allowing the player to emit 3 more pulses in quick succession before the auto regeneration starts. Increasing the fire rate will boost the amount of pulses able to be given off before the recharge happens, and increasing reload speed increases the window for when these extra pulses can be given off.
  • It is unknown if this is a bug or intentional but is likely due to the fact that a pulse happens when you click the fire button and the weapon cannot be fired (aka the clip is empty), and since the weapon must fully regenerate before you can fire again there is a window where you can click again.

Tips

• As the and damage portions are separate from one another, the Shedu can get a combination of and with only a damage mod.
• A max rank  Fast Hands with no additional fire rate sources will allow for a bottomless clip magazine due to the short delay on the battery recharge and prevent the radial pulse.

Bugs

• 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.

Trivia

• Shedu is an Assyrian guardian deity. The term also means demon or insanity in several other languages.
• After the  Miter, the Shedu is the second ever weapon to use a Chassis as a component. Beyond these two, only Warframes use Chassis as a manufacturing requirement.
• Due to the way the Shedu is attached to the Warframe model, certain visual effects on the Warframe will also cover the Shedu. These include  Iron Skin,  Parasitic Link, Bloodshed Sigil , and certain Ephemeras.
• The Shedu is currently the only weapon that always appears invisible when holstered.
• Despite being of Sentient design the weapon does not actually deal any damage.
  • Curiously, it also has an ability to remove any Sentient's damage immunities.

Media

• The Shedu in the Codex. The red glow on the weapon affected by Emmisive color and overlaps the wielder's right shoulder

Hotfix 27.2.1 (2020-03-05)

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 addition to Self Damage being removed, some of the more powerful AOE weapons without Self Damage presently will have the Stagger added, but it should only be noticeable in cases of extreme inaccuracy on the player’s part. The Weapons include:

• Shedu

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.
