Playstyle

The expert engineers in Parvos Granum’s division have optimized the Ferrox’s lethal power. Built as a status primary / primer option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Tenet Ferrox is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

When to Pick

  • You want a Rifle that fits a status primary / primer play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Tenet Ferrox does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
  • You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

Attack Modes

  • Charged Shot

    Impact 20 · Slash 40 · Puncture 140

    Hit-Scan · Crit 34% / 3× · Status 26% · Fire Rate 2.67

  • Radial Attack

    Impact 6 · Slash 12 · Puncture 42

    AoE · Crit 34% / 3× · Status 26% · Fire Rate 2.67 · Falloff 0–4m (−30%)

  • Spear Throw

    Impact 35 · Slash 10 · Puncture 5

    Projectile · Crit 4% / 2× · Status 40% · Fire Rate 1 · Projectile 90

  • Attraction Field

    Electricity 150

    AoE · Crit 4% / 2× · Status 50% · Fire Rate 0.5

  • Radial Attack (AoE): Impact 6.0, Slash 12.0, Puncture 42.0.
  • Spear Throw (Projectile): Impact 35.0, Slash 10.0, Puncture 5.0.

Upgrades

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

  • Orokin CatalystCapacity

    Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.

    Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.

  • FormaPolarity

    Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.

    expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  • Exilus Weapon AdapterSlot

    Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).

    Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.

  • Primary Arcane AdapterArcane

    Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

    Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

  • Riven ModRiven

    Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.15.

    Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

Mod Scaling

Multishot

Usually the highest value damage slot — more projectiles, more procs, more clear.

Critical

Stack crit chance/damage when the weapon’s crit stats justify a crit suite.

Elemental

Faction/elemental lines for Steel Path; Viral+Heat is a safe default on many guns.

Fire Rate

Fire rate raises DPS but burns ammo — pair with reload/ammo economy when needed.

Priority

Multishot → Crit (if crit-viable) → Elemental → QoL ammo/reload.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongTest whether Tenet Ferrox still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Tenet Ferrox when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationStrongHold objectives by deleting approach packs with Tenet Ferrox, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Tenet Ferrox has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.

Alternatives

Other options if Tenet Ferrox isn’t the right fit.

  • Ferrox

    Related variant in the same weapon line as Tenet Ferrox — Ferrox has higher damage (75%) and lower status (62%). Compare polarities before Forma.

  • Acceltra

    Another Rifle if you want less status than Tenet Ferrox (Acceltra: 6.0%).

  • Acceltra Prime

    Another Rifle option if Tenet Ferrox’s handling or acquisition doesn’t fit your farm.
