The Ion Detonator.
The Ion Detonator is the Furon take on a grenade launcher. It lobs a plasmatic Ion Bomb, in which the lob can be charged, called 'Detonators'. These bombs either explode within approximately ten seconds or can be detonated remotely at will.
It is one of the strongest weapons in Crypto's Arsenal, able to take out most vehicles with a single Detonator. However, the explosion can usually harm Crypto if he's inside the blast radius.
ID-47 / 59[]
The first usable Ion Detonator model, it is the last weapon Crypto obtains for handheld weaponry, and also the most powerful. Its ammo capacity maxes out at 20 bombs. While it doesn't do much damage to Crypto, it can stun him.
- Upgrade 1: Increased ammo capacity
- Upgrade 2: Increased area of effect
- Upgrade 3: Increased ammo capacity and damage
ID-47 / 59 (Remake)[]
The Ion Detonator remains largely unchanged in the Remake. Like the original, it damages Crypto slightly if he is caught in the blast, but no longer stuns him, with its blast instead knocking him away. Additionally, lobbed Detonators can now be picked up and thrown by Psychokinesis. Like human explosives, Detonators thrown this way will explode on contact. While charging a shot, an indicator will be displayed showing where the Detonator will land.
- Transmogrificationizer: Objects and vehicles destroyed by the detonation have a chance of getting transmogrified.[1]
- Transmogrificationatomaticulizer: Objects and vehicles destroyed by the detonation have a high chance of transmogrification.
- Temporal Distortionator: The ion detonation temporarily slows time. Attacking prematurely ends the effect. (this also automatically recharges cryptos shields)
- Transmogrificationatomaticulizer: Objects and vehicles destroyed by the detonation have a high chance of transmogrification.
- Ion Storage Beta: Increases the Ion Detonator's capacity. (To 9)
- Ion Storage Zeta: Greatly increases the Ion Detonator's capacity. (To 15)
- Ion Vortex Coils: The ion grenade pulls in everything around it when it lands.
- Ion Storage Zeta: Greatly increases the Ion Detonator's capacity. (To 15)
ID-69[]
The second version, obtained in 1969, ID-69 comes with the smallest max ammo at 8 bombs when fully upgraded. It damages Crypto more than any other model, taking out approximately 3/4 of his shield if detonated near him. Since the Blisk are a primary threat, ID-69 can have its effectivity against them upgraded. Otherwise, ID-69 is identical to its predecessor.
- Ion Disruption Coils: Increases Detonator damage
- Crab Radiation Dampener: Detonators are effective against the Blisk
- Ion Storage Beta: Increases Detonator capacity to 4
- Ion Storage Gamma: Increases Detonator capacity to 6
- Ion Storage Thetan: Increases Detonator capacity to 8
- Ion Storage Gamma: Increases Detonator capacity to 6
ID-77 / 79[]
Demonstration of the ID-77.
The latest model of the Ion Detonator, ID-77, is more unique than its predecessors. This version doesn't harm Crypto at all, and it is the only weapon usable during Time Stop. ID-77 has cluster bomb-esque upgrades, allowing for additional Detonators to be released after the first detonation. With one very expensive upgrade, the ID-77 can even max out its ammo at 999.
- Enhanced Ion Containment 1: Increases Detonator ammo capacity
- Enhanced Ion Containment 2: Further increases Detonator ammo capacity
- Enhanced Ion Containment 3: Increases Detonator ammo capacity to maximum
- Enhanced Ion Containment 2: Further increases Detonator ammo capacity
- Ion Disruptor coils 1: Increases Detonator damage radius
- Ion Disruptor coils 2: Increases Detonator damage radius to maximum
- Ion Array 1: Detonation creates 1 additional Detonator
- Ion Array 2: Detonation creates 2 additional Detonators
- Ion Array 3: Detonation creates 3 additional Detonators
- Ion Array 2: Detonation creates 2 additional Detonators
Furon Handbook[]
A perennial favorite among invaders in the Crypto line. Current generations ideally take additional precautions when utilizing this powerful weapon, which had the adverse side effect of eliminating its user while in its alpha testing phase.
"They used to let me handle them Ion Detonators. Got blown up a time too many. They say Mr. Crypto knows how to handle it, but I got my doubts." - Gastro-999.

- ↑ Contrary to the tooltip, the blast can transmogrify vehicles that are already destroyed, as well as ones that survive the blast (e.g. tanks).
