Weapon LoadoutsEdit
- See Category:Tigris Prime Build to see how players mod this weapon.
- See Category:Tigris Prime Guides for guides on how to use this weapon effectively.
- For more general help with weapons, you may wish to browse Category:Weapon Guides.
TipsEdit
- Due to the weapon's low magazine size and tight spread, consider using Seeking Force and/or Seeking Fury in order to deal with large groups more effectively.
- Chilling Reload can also help to speed up the weapon's frequent reloads.
- All Tigris variants can reach 4 shells in the magazine by combining a max rank Ammo Stock with a rank 1 Burdened Magazine.
- Due to rounding, increasing Burdened Magazine to a higher level will never give any more than 4 shells, but it will still increase the reload speed penalty.
- Aiming down sights will increase weapon accuracy and decrease shotgun spread, making the Tigris more effective at medium ranges.

VaultingsEdit
- On June 5th, 2018, it was announced that Tigris Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on June 19th, 2018. Any preexisting components or fully-built weapons will remain as is.
Patch HistoryEdit
- Greater than 100% Status having meaning
Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.
Shotguns as a special case means we have buffed the Status Chance of all Shotguns by x3 or greater. The UI now behaves to show the reality that you are determining Status Chance per pellet.
- (Undocumented) Status chance per projectile increased from 3.75% to 11.25%.
- Minor sound remastering updates have been made to the Tigris Prime.
- Fixed Specters not reloading when equipped with a Tigris Prime as their loadout.
- Fixed missing muzzle flash on the Tigris Prime.
- Removed a delay intended to fix frame rate when auto reloading the Tigris Prime due to frequent reloading.
- Introduced.

Majority Puncture vs Majority Slash. You decide.

For content up to lv 45 ish, I'd say Hek. 8 shots beat 2 by a large margin even if stronger enemies eat 2 before dying. As you approach...
