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.
- Can use the Tiberon-exclusive Critical Precision mod.
- Can equip the Tiberon-exclusive Measured Burst mod (Conclave only).
- Three firing modes that can be cycled with Alternate Fire: 3-round burst, semi-auto, and full-auto.

Disadvantages over other Primary weapons (excluding modular weapons):
- 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.

Patch History[]
Update 32.2 (2022-11-30)
- SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON CHANGES
While reviewing the stats of some weapons with a semi-automatic mode, we noticed that certain weapons had an unsustainably high fire rate for most players. We adjusted the stats of the following semi-automatic weapons whose maximum potential was only being reached with the use of macros (to learn more about third-party use in Warframe visit our support article). Since not everyone is an avid macro user (within the boundaries allowed), we lowered fire rates to a more humanly achievable level and improved their damage or reload stats to compensate.
Tiberon Prime
- Reduced fire rate from 6 to 5.
- Increased Semi-Automatic mode’s Critical Chance from 30% to 42%.
- Increased damage from 46 to 48 for all modes.
Update 25.8 (2019-10-01)
- October 2019 Riven Disposition Change
- Tiberon: 0.95->0.85
Hotfix 22.16.4 (2018-03-20)
- Introduced.
Last updated: Hotfix 24.1.5 (2018-12-13)
