Tips
- Use Cronus as a replacement to your Skana, it is easy to craft and is an overall damage boost.
Notes
- The listed firing rate is a speed multiplier for longswords. The real rate is 2.2 hits per second (0.45s to hit once).
- As of update 7.8 the Cronus Blueprint is only a guaranteed drop the first time Tolstoj is completed and the % chance for it to drop decreases each run afterward. This was put in place to prevent credit farming.
Trivia
- The Cronus was the original melee weapon of the Stalker before update Update 7.11.
