CODEX

Parvos Granum’s engineers have made this already ferocious hand-cannon even more deadly with the addition of an alternate fire mode that empties an entire clip in one devastating burst.

The Tenet Detron is the Tenet variant of the Detron Detron pistol shotgun, featuring enhanced critical chance, critical multiplier, overall status chance due to increased multishot despite its base status being lowered, and accuracy that exceeds the Mara Detron Mara Detron, along with a slight increase to magazine size, at the cost of a steep damage penalty. It has gained an Alternate Fire that burst-fires its entire magazine.

Characteristics

This weapon primarily deals Radiation Damage Radiation damage.

Advantages:

• Innate Radiation Damage Radiation damage – effective against Alloy Armor, Robotic, and Infested Sinew.
• Good critical chance.
• Very high status chance.
• Very fast reload speed.
• Good accuracy.
• Innate multishot of 10 pellets.
• Alternate Fire shoots all remaining ammunition in the magazine in a quick burst.
  • Benefits from magazine increasing mods to further increase the burst's damage.
• Can use the Detron Detron-exclusive Thermagnetic Shells Thermagnetic Shells mod.
• Polarizing the weapon increases its max rank by 2, capping at rank 40 after 5 polarizations, granting the weapon additional mod capacity.
• Comes with an additional bonus Impact Damage Impact, Heat Damage Heat, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, Toxin Damage Toxin, Magnetic Damage Magnetic, or Radiation Damage Radiation damage, based on the Sister's progenitor Warframe, which increases the listed base damage of the weapon by 25%-60%.

Disadvantages:

• Innate Radiation Damage Radiation damage – less effective against Shielded, Infested, and Fossilized.
  • Damage cannot be increased by mods that add Impact Damage Impact, Puncture Damage Puncture or Slash Damage Slash damage.
• Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 45% from 28m to 40m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
• Projectiles have travel time.

Acquisition

Tenet Detron is obtained by vanquishing a Sister who generated with one equipped. After the Sister is vanquished it will be in the player's Foundry ready to claim.

While the weapon itself is not tradeable, a converted Sister generated with the weapon can be traded to another player. The trade is performed inside a Clan Dojo's Crimson Branch room, and the recipient must not have any active Lich or Sister. Once traded, the recipient must fight and vanquish the Sister to claim their weapon.

Notes

• The Alternate Fire of the Tenet Detron will eject all of the remaining ammunition in the magazine in a single burst.
  • Base effective fire rate is 8 rounds per second.
    • The burst is affected by Fire Rate mods, but not perfectly; +60% Fire Rate only resulted in roughly +45% effect.
  • Increasing the magazine size of the weapon such as with Slip Magazine Slip Magazine (Primed Slip Magazine Primed) and Tainted Clip Tainted Clip, and using recoil reduction mods like Steady Hands Steady Hands, can help to make its damage output more consistent and reliable.
  • If buffed with unlimited ammo such as from the Reactant Buff, the weapon will only fire a burst equal to its current magazine, with small delays between each trigger pull.
  • Alternate Fire be canceled using quick melee.
  • Aiming will be disabled for the duration of the burst, and so the Alternate Fire cannot benefit from Acolyte Mods.
• The ability to to unload all its magazine in one powerful burst is shared with the Grineer Kuva Kraken Kuva Kraken.
• Despite the lower base damage compared to its predecessors, the Tenet Detron's increased Multishot (10 pellets vs. 7 pellets) results in higher overall damage even with the lowest possible elemental bonus (+25%).
  • For example, a Tenet Detron with a +25% Toxin Damage Toxin damage bonus gains 6.5 more damage for a total of 32.5 damage per pellet. With 10 pellets, that results in 325 damage per shot, compared to the 280 damage of the standard Detron or the Mara Detron.

• As with all Kuva and Tenet weapons, the player does not have to meet the Mastery Rank displayed to obtain this weapon. It can simply be claimed from the foundry after the Kuva Lich or Sister carrying it has been vanquished.
• The weapon will have a prefix of the name of the Lich/Sister it was acquired from (e.g. Odizrigg Agekk Kuva Kohm).
• The weapon's max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per Forma added).
  • Additional polarizations can be added when the weapon reaches its new max rank at that polarization level.
  • Each additional rank also gives 100 Mastery Rank experience, giving 4,000 points in total at level 40.
  • Mod capacity scales with the additional ranks, and can reach a total of 80 at rank 40 with an Orokin Catalyst installed.
    • Without an Orokin Catalyst, the max is 40. Combined with the five polarized mod slots required to reach that point, an Orokin Catalyst might not be required to finish modding the weapon.
    • After polarizing a weapon, any additional mod capacity above 30 (60 with an Orokin Catalyst) will not take effect until the weapon's rank reaches 31 and above.
      • Legendary Mastery Rank increases the minimum mod capacity for such weapons, without the weapon needing to be rank 31 and above. For example, Legendary 1 increases the minimum capacity to 31 (62 with an Orokin Catalyst).
• Comes with an additional damage stat, dependent on the Warframe that summoned the Lich/Sister.
  • This damage stat ranges between 25%-60%, and is randomly generated by the Lich/Sister. It can be brought up to its maximum value with Valence Fusion using another copy of the weapon.
  • This bonus stat is considered a base damage type that is added after all elemental mods.

• • If the weapon innately has a primary element type (Heat Damage Heat, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, Toxin Damage Toxin) AND has a different primary element as its bonus stat, the elements on the weapon will combine in a unique way: Whichever of the two primary elements comes first in this element order - Heat Damage Heat > Cold Damage Cold > Electricity Damage Electricity > Toxin Damage Toxin, or "HCET" for short - will be placed second to last in the element combine order, while the other primary element will be placed last in the combine order. This order can be subsequently shifted based on the order of the equipped mods.
  • For example, if the weapon innately has Cold Damage Cold, using an Electricity Damage Electricity progenitor Warframe to add base Electricity Damage Electricity damage to the weapon will change the weapon's base element to Magnetic Damage Magnetic.
    • Because Cold Damage Cold comes before Electricity Damage Electricity in the HCET element order, Cold Damage Cold will be placed second to last in the element combine order, and Electricity Damage Electricity will be placed last.
    • If the weapon is then modded with only Heat Damage Heat, the elements will be arranged in the order Heat Damage Heat, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, resulting in the weapon having Blast Damage Blast + Electricity Damage Electricity. If the weapon is instead modded with only Toxin Damage Toxin, the elements will be arranged in the order Toxin Damage Toxin, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, which will create Viral Damage Viral + Electricity Damage Electricity.
    • If modded with Electricity Damage Electricity and Heat Damage Heat, the Electricity Damage Electricity will be moved earlier in the combine order due to now being a modded element, so the new combine order will be Electricity Damage Electricity, Heat Damage Heat, Cold Damage Cold, resulting in Radiation Damage Radiation + Cold Damage Cold. If modded with Heat Damage Heat and Toxin Damage Toxin, the combine order will be Heat Damage Heat, Toxin Damage Toxin, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, resulting in Gas Damage Gas + Magnetic Damage Magnetic.

*Note that the Primed and Umbra versions of a Warframe share the same element (including altered, exalted, spectral or enhanced forms such as Atlas using Rumbled, Titania in Razorwing, or Sevagoth's Shadow).

Tips

• In Mag Mag's hands, the Tenet Detron is a potentially devastating weapon as she can pulverize crowds of enemies by unloading the gun's alt-fire burst into a short-tap Magnetize Magnetize bubble. Combined with its very fast reload speed, Mag can unleash torrents of shot in the entire duration of the bubble.

Bugs

• The falloff ranges displayed ingame (13m-22m) are incorrect. Tenet Detron will still deal full damage until about 28m.
