CODEX

Art meets ingenuity with this beautifully deadly rifle.

The Tiberon Prime is the select-fire Prime version of the three round burst-fire rifle  Tiberon, featuring overall higher stats. Unique to the weapon is its three firing modes that can be swapped through its Alternate Fire: balanced statistics on its three round burst-fire mode, higher critical chance and critical multiplier on semi-auto mode, and higher status chance on full-auto mode. It was released alongside  Zephyr Prime and  Kronen Prime.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Puncture damage by a small margin.

Advantages:

• Three firing modes that can be cycled with Alternate Fire: 3-round burst, semi-auto, and full-auto.
• High accuracy.
• Very low recoil, especially on Burst-fire and Semi-auto modes.
• Auto
  • Third highest crit multiplier behind  Prisma Grinlok
  • Above average effective fire rate
  • Above average max ammo
  • High status chance
• Semi-Auto
  • Second highest crit multiplier behind  Bubonico
  • Above average crit chance
  • High effective fire rate
  • Above average max ammo
• Burst
  • Third highest crit multiplier behind  Bubonico
  • High crit chance
  • Very high effective fire rate
  • Above average max ammo

Disadvantages:

• Burst-fire mode is linearly less efficient – sometimes a target may only die with four bullets, which requires an entire second burst to be fired, or a change to Fire Mode.
  • This can also be mitigated by using quick melee with good timing, canceling the burst partway through.
• Full-auto mode has high recoil.
• Auto
  • Below average crit chance
  • Below average damage
  • Low disposition

  • Very low damage
