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. Built as a secondary / flexible option for squad clear and mission pressure.
Tenet Detron is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.
Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.
Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.
Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.
expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.
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.
Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.
Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.
Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.0.
Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

| Mission / Context | Rating | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Tenet Detron still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. | |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Use Tenet Detron when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes. | |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Hold objectives by deleting approach packs with Tenet Detron, then reposition. | |
| Open World / Long Sightlines | Long sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee. | |
| Solo Boss / Single-Target | Fine if Tenet Detron has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon. |
