Tigris Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time.

Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.
The Tigris Prime is the primed variant of the 
Tigris shotgun. Featuring the highest base damage of any non-Archwing weapon, it is balanced out by its low magazine size and damage falloff.
Tigris Prime was added along with 
Nekros Prime and 
Galatine Prime in Hotfix: The Silver Grove 3 (2016-08-23).
