CODEX
The Braton's high rate of fire and accuracy make it a favorite among Tenno.

The **Braton** is an assault rifle manufactured by the Tenno. The damage, fire rate, and accuracy are all balanced, allowing the rifle to perform with surprising results against any faction and well suited against any situations. Its only downfall is ironically its well-balanced purpose, allowing a very limited specialization build.

This weapon can be sold for 7,500File:Credits64.png‍ **7,500**.

## Tips

* When used extensively or playing solo, the ammunition of an unmodded Braton can burn down quite quickly. Consider switching to your pistol or utilizing melee combat when possible.
	+ When fighting at long ranges, consider firing in short bursts or taking a calculated risk and charging forward. The ammo saved from sustained long range fighting far and away compensates for any sizable amount of close range damage.
* Using {{#vardefine:Name|Metal Auger}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found and/or {{#vardefine:Name|Shred}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found makes the Braton useful for taking down large crowds without wasting too much ammo although the mods take up a sizable amount of mod capacity. The mod {{#vardefine:Name|Split Chamber}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found can have very similar effects, but it also takes up a large amount of mod capacity.
* Using the {{#vardefine:Name|Rifle Ammo Mutation}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found mod can help regain lost ammo when needed, due to the weapon's semi-quick ammo consumption.
* The Braton's reload time can be reduced to a mere 1.5 seconds with {{#vardefine:Name|Fast Hands}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, making it ideal for speed-based builds that are looking for a fast-firing rifle that can be reloaded quickly.
* It is recommended to use the {{#vardefine:Name|Wildfire}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found dual-stat mod in place of {{#vardefine:Name|Hellfire}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, as the former will increase the Braton's magazine capacity to 54 while only suffering a loss of 30% elemental damage at the cost of 9 points compared to the latter's 11-point cost. This is also far more efficient than using {{#vardefine:Name|Magazine Warp}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, as the former will only sacrifice 10% ammunition capacity for a far more beneficial 60% extra fire damage. Overall, it is most cost effective (9 points) than the alternatives to achieve similar benefits (20 points for both Hellfire and Magazine Warp).

## Trivia

* Originally, the weapon shared the same model as the Latron, with similar damage and fire rate. It was then changed to have the same appearance as the old MK1-Braton with Corpus stylings.
	+ The Braton, along with its MK1 Variant, was assumed to be a Corpus weapon due to Corpus manufacturing symbols printed on the weapon. {{#vardefine:Update|Update 19.10 }}{{#var:Update}} gave the Braton a new model that had Tenno design and Orokin writing instead, removing the Corpus connections and making it more lore friendly.
	+ The old version of the Braton can still be seen when using legacy skins like the Forest Camo or the Shock Camo skins, which changes the model to the previous appearance.
* During {{#vardefine:Update|Hotfix 10.6.1 }}{{#var:Update}}, an unreleased Nvidia skin was leaked (refer to gallery image 8 below). This was automatically applied to all Bratons, and was subsequently removed in the next hotfix with the redtext reading "just a small change, you probably won't even notice" referring to the fact that not many people knew of the mistake. It is unknown whether the skin will be officially released, or whether it was just a concept skin model.
* The Braton, as of February 2017, currently has the highest number of skins that can be used on a weapon, at a total of 8. It can use the following: IAH Games skin (Promotion, no longer available), Forest Camo, Shock Camo, Conclave, Day of the Dead skin (Limited time item, no longer available), PS4 Skin (Exclusive to PS4 pre-orders in North America), Kintsugi, and Nocturne. A Nvidia skin was also temporarily leaked but never actually officially used.
