I honestly don't think that you've used the Tigris P, friendo. The crit and duplex firing mechanism more than makes up for the lack of raw damage; not to mention the Tigris's 60% slash ISP bias, lack of an innate elemental damage, and higher pellet count allows the Tigris to abuse stackable procs (Bleed/Gas/Corrosive).

In comparision, the innate Radiation damage works against the Exergis; ontop of that, it has all of 1/3rd of the Tigris's pellets, and a 40% slash ISP bias.

Even with 4x dual stat mods, the Tigris caps out at 5 damage types; whereas the Exergis hits 6 damage types with just 3x dual stat mods. This skews the status priority from the more desirable procs (Corrosive/Bleed).

In the end, the Exergis has lower TTK than the Tigris Prime. While the innate punchthrough is a nice touch, .5m is nowhere near enough to compensate for the Tigris's superior DPS.

The Exergis is a fun and reasonably effective gun, and I will never riff on it for that; but it certainly isn't as good as the Tigris P.
