Tips[]
- While the Sancti Tigris is less effective against targets vulnerable to Puncture and Impact damage types, it still deals an obscene amount of damage against targets with these resistances, dealing more damage than some weapon's primary damage types.
- The decrease in fire rate increases the delay before the Tigris automatically reloads after emptying it's magazine. This can be remedied by pressing the Reload button right after firing the second shot
Trivia[]
- The first part of its name, Sancti, is likely derived from the Latin word "sanctus", meaning holy. The Sanctus is also the name of a hymn in Catholic liturgy, or 'Hymn of Victory' in the Greek rendition.
