Cedo

Cedo

Shotgun / Close-Range Clear

Launch a glaive that ricochets off surfaces in bursts of elemental damage, then perforate enemies with primary fire’s precision buck-shot. Damage increases with each Status Effect afflicting a target. Lavos will transmute a small portion of any ammo pickup to Primary Ammo when wielding his signature Cedo.

Playstyle

Launch a glaive that ricochets off surfaces in bursts of elemental damage, then perforate enemies with primary fire’s precision buck-shot. Built as a shotgun / close-range clear option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Cedo is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

When to Pick

  • You want a Shotgun that fits a shotgun / close-range clear play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Cedo does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
  • You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

Attack Modes

  • Normal Attack

    Puncture 30

    Hit-Scan · Crit 20% / 2.4× · Status 0.3% · Fire Rate 3.83 · Falloff 26–52m (−97%)

  • Alt-Fire Glaive

    Slash 20

    Projectile · Crit 2% / 1.4× · Status 50% · Fire Rate 1 · Projectile 60

  • Glaive Radial Attack

    AoE · Crit 2% / 1.4× · Status 50% · Fire Rate 1 · Falloff 0–6m (−0%)

Attack Notes

  • Alt-Fire Glaive (Projectile): Slash 20.0.
  • Glaive Radial Attack (AoE): Blast 10.0.

Upgrades

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

  • Orokin CatalystCapacity

    Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.

    Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.

  • FormaPolarity

    Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.

    expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  • Exilus Weapon AdapterSlot

    Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).

    Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.

  • Primary Arcane AdapterArcane

    Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

    Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

  • Riven ModRiven

    Unique rolled mod. Disposition 0.65.

    Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

  • Cedo PrimeVariant

    The primed version — stronger stats and usually better polarities.

    Upgrade path when relics/parts are available.

Mod Scaling

Multishot

Usually the highest value damage slot — more projectiles, more procs, more clear.

Critical

Stack crit chance/damage when the weapon’s crit stats justify a crit suite.

Elemental

Faction/elemental lines for Steel Path; Viral+Heat is a safe default on many guns.

Fire Rate

Fire rate raises DPS but burns ammo — pair with reload/ammo economy when needed.

Priority

Multishot → Crit (if crit-viable) → Elemental → QoL ammo/reload.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionSituationalTest whether Cedo still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Cedo when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationStrongHold objectives by deleting approach packs with Cedo, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Cedo has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.

Alternatives

Other options if Cedo isn’t the right fit.

  • Cedo Prime

    Prime upgrade in the same line as Cedo — Cedo Prime has higher crit (20%) and higher status (567%). Compare polarities before Forma.

  • Arca Plasmor

    Another Shotgun if you want more status than Cedo (Arca Plasmor: 28.0%).

  • Astilla

    Another Shotgun if you want more status than Cedo (Astilla: 33.0%).
