The '''Cernos''' is a Tenno bow, specializing in damaging shields by specializing in {{Icon|Proc|Impact|text}} damage. Much like other bows, it functions with a charge mechanic, and sports very high accuracy at range, despite the arrow drop. It is most effective against the Corpus as it can easily break through their shields, but is less effective against the Grineer and Infested, due to a lack of other damage types.
