About Cestra
Cestra is a Corpus-built sidearm that works as a scaled-down Supra, with a brief spool-up before reaching its maximum fire rate. It deals mostly Puncture damage, has very high accuracy and a large 60 round magazine.
Ammo can become a limit, so Pistol Ammo Mutation, Trick Mag, Pistol Scavenger or Squad Ammo Restores help. The blueprint costs 20,000 Credits in the Market, or the built version costs 175 Platinum with a catalyst installed, and the Jupiter to Europa Junction also rewards it.
Cestra was added with Update 11.0 (November 2013).
Requires Mastery Rank 4.
