Notes

• Like the  Tiberon, the Sybaris has a very tight shot spread courtesy of its almost nonexistent recoil, capable of landing both shots on a small target. This makes it suitable for long-range gunfights, unlike most other burst-fire weapons that tend to scatter their shots. And also makes it ideal for landing headshots.
• Maximizing the fire rate of this weapon may require practice, as a short animation is required after each burst is fired.
• With practice, the Sybaris can be used to headshot two separate targets near each other with the same burst. This can aided by slowing the fire rate with mods such as  Critical Delay or  Vile Precision.

Incarnon Genesis

• Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn  Sybaris Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Sybaris with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength.

Evolution

This section is transcluded from Sybaris Incarnon Genesis § Evolutions. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

• Installing the Sybaris Incarnon Genesis requires 20  Pathos Clamps, 150  Saggen Pearl, and 70  Ueymag.
• When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
  • Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.

Evolution I

• Weakpoint hits charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
• Fire 4-round bursts and gain  Blast Status
  • Burst count is increased to 4 and shots have guaranteed  Blast proc. Damage, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance are increased, but Critical Chance is reduced.
• Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
• Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticle by achieving weakpoint hits and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 25 weakpoints (or 13 bursts) will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
  • Charges do not generate on the backpacks of most MOA variants, or vulnerability spots generated by  Sonar or  Detect Vulnerability in places other than actual weakpoints.
  • Weakspots on corpses or Invulnerable targets do not build charges.
  • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
• Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Sybaris's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 8 rounds to a maximum of 200. Once all ammunition is expended, the Sybaris reverts to its normal form.
  • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
  • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as  Energized Munitions).
  • Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
• Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

Evolution II

• Unlock Challenge: Complete a solo mission with this weapon equipped.
• Perk 1: Well Rehearsed:
  • Increase Base Damage by +20 (Sybaris) / +15 (Dex) / +15 (Prime)
  • On Consecutive Weakpoint Hits: Increase Base Damage by +5. Stacks up to 3x.
• Perk 2: Blazing Barrel:
  • Increase Base Damage by +20 (Sybaris) / +15 (Dex) / +15 (Prime)
  • On Firing: +5% Multishot. Stacks up to 10x.

Evolution III

• Unlock Challenge: Kill 100 enemies with this weapon's Incarnon Form.
• Perk 1: Extended Volley:
  • Increase Base Magazine Capacity by +8 (Sybaris) / +10 (Dex) / +12 (Prime)
• Perk 2: Ready Retaliation:
  • On Reload From Empty: +60% Reload Speed
• Perk 3: Marksman's Hand:
  • -60% Weapon Recoil

Evolution IV

• Unlock Challenge: Get 40 weakpoint hits with this weapon in Incarnon form in a single mission.
• Perk 1: Elemental Dominance:
  • Increase Base Status Chance by +15% (Sybaris) / +15% (Dex) / +8% (Prime). Effect doubles in Incarnon Form
• Perk 2: Reaver's Rapture:
  • On Full Burst Hit: +20% Damage, resets on Reload
• Perk 3: Survivor's Edge:
  • Increase Base Critical Chance by +5%
  • Increase Base Status Chance by +10%

Tips

• In order to reach the full fire-rate, one must fire the next burst just before the "lever-action" animation is completed.
• With a semi-auto burst trigger, the Sybaris benefits greatly from having an alternative mode of fire bound to the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel sends inputs to the game much more frequently than the left mouse button would, and the Sybaris is more likely to respond with a scroll than a click in between bursts. Proper use of the scroll wheel can provide additional comfort for the player, yet due to oversampling, it is marginally less effective than a timed click. Some players may also experience slight loss of accuracy due to an altered grip on the mouse.

Trivia

• While the Sybaris is often compared to a Winchester rifle, it has more in common with a Porter Turret Rifle, a lever action rifle that also used a sideways disk-like magazine. Likely, the Sybaris works by firing the two bullets in the disk that line up in quick succession.
• Sybaris was an ancient Greek colony in southern Italy that was notable for its luxury.
  • It is also the name for a Drakaina (female dragon) from Greek mythology, which terrorized the countryside of Delphi, devouring livestock and people.
• Sybaris is the second weapon that fires two shots per burst (following the  Kraken), and the first rifle to do so.
• The large disc with the glowing circular light by the Sybaris' grip is the weapon's magazine.
• The Sybaris was the first weapon to be given the new Physical Based Rendering (PBR) graphics technique in Update 14.9 (2014-10-01), which gave the weapon a gleaming, metallic texture while still allowing for color customization. This graphics rendering technique would later be applied to other weapons and items in the game.
