CODEX

A strong blade forged using ceramic.

The Cronus is one of the first weapons players can craft (along with the Heat Sword), and is wielded by Captain Vor. Compared to the Skana players can start with, the Cronus has a higher attack speed, making it a reasonable upgrade for sword wielders early in the game.

Cronus can be sold for 5,000 Credits 5,000.

Acquisition

The blueprint for the Cronus is a potential drop from Captain Vor, after defeating him on Tolstoj, Mercury. When dropped, it appears as a drop on the ground similar to Oberon blueprints. Neither his encounter on Ceres, nor his Corrupted counterpart will drop this blueprint.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages

• High damage – effective against health.
• Stance slot has  polarity, matches  Crimson Dervish,  Swooping Falcon and  Vengeful Revenant stances.
• Has a polarity.

Disadvantages

• Relatively low damage and low damage – less effective against armor and shields.
• Very low critical chance.
• Low critical multiplier and status chance.

Notes

• As with most weapon components and blueprints dropped by certain enemies, the Cronus's blueprint drops as a pink orb when Vor is defeated.

Tips

• The high slash damage is effective against Infested.

Trivia

• Cronus (alternatively Cronos or Kronos) is the youngest of the twelve titans in Greek mythology and father of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon.
• Since Update 7.8 (2013-04-19), the Cronus Blueprint will only be a guaranteed reward the first time Tolstoj is completed and its drop chance exponentially decreases with each repetition. This was put in place to prevent credit farming.
• The Cronus was the original melee weapon of the Stalker before update Update 7.11 (2013-05-17).

Media

• Cronus in the Codex
• The Cronus holstered by Captain Vor.
• The Cronus blueprint on the mission reward screen.
• Cronus drop orb after Update 18
