Playstyle

Forged by a master gunsmith, this Tenno burst rifle will strike down targets with swift precision. Built as a crit primary / sustained dps option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

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

When to Pick

  • You want a Rifle that fits a crit primary / sustained dps play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Tiberon 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

  • Normal Attack

    Impact 11 · Slash 11 · Puncture 22

    Hit-Scan · Crit 26% / 2.4× · Status 16% · Fire Rate 6.67

Attack Notes

  • Normal Attack (Hit-Scan): Impact 11.0, Slash 11.0, Puncture 22.0.

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 1.1.

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

  • Tiberon PrimeVariant

    The primed version — stronger stats and usually better polarities.

    Upgrade path when relics/parts are available.

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 Tiberon still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Tiberon 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 Tiberon, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Tiberon has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.

Alternatives

Other options if Tiberon isn’t the right fit.

  • Tiberon Prime

    Prime upgrade in the same line as Tiberon — Tiberon Prime has higher damage (9%) and higher status (25%). Compare polarities before Forma.

  • Acceltra

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

  • Acceltra Prime

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