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:

• Near-equal physical damage – effective against all factions, Sentient and Shadow Stalker.
• Three firing modes that can be cycled with Alternate Fire: 3-round burst, semi-auto, and full-auto.
• Burst-fire mode:
  • Very high critical chance.
  • Highest critical multiplier of all burst-fire rifles.
  • High status chance.
  • Very low recoil.
• Semi-auto mode:
  • Very high critical chance.
  • Highest critical multiplier of all primary weapons.
  • Good status chance.
  • Fastest fire rate of all semi-automatic rifles.
  • Very low recoil.
• Full-auto mode:
  • Good critical chance.
  • Tied with  Acceltra for the second highest critical multiplier of all fully automatic rifles, behind  Soma/ Soma Prime,  Attica, and  Baza/ Baza Prime.
  • Second highest status chance of all fully automatic rifles, behind  Boltor Prime.
    • Can reach 100% status chance with  Thermite Rounds,  Rime Rounds,  High Voltage, and  Malignant Force.
• High accuracy.
• Very low recoil, especially on Burst-fire and Semi-auto modes.
• Innate two and two polarities.

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.
• Semi-auto mode has the lowest base damage of all semi-automatic rifles.
• Full-auto mode has high recoil.
