The Kraken is a rocket launcher produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked upon completion of the Master Launchers directive.

The Kraken is an auraxium variant of the NS Decimator. Unlike most auraxium weapons, the Kraken features no functional changes compared to its original weapon, with the Kraken's only differences coming in aesthetics; a shinier exterior, and a unique explosion effect. Otherwise, the Kraken is the same high damage, slow reloading rocket launcher as the Decimator.
