Forged by a master gunsmith, this Tenno burst rifle will strike down targets with swift precision.

The Tiberon is a Tenno-made three round burst-fire rifle. Compared to most burst-fire rifles, the Tiberon is much more accurate and primarily deals DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture damage, albeit at the cost of reduced status chance.

Characteristics[]

Advantages over other Primary weapons (excluding modular weapons):

  • Very low recoil.
  • Third highest fire rate of all burst-fire rifles, behind Paracyst Paracyst and BurstonPrime Burston Prime.
  • Normal Attack (wiki attack index 1)
    • Above average crit chance (26.00%)
    • Above average ammo max (540)
    • Above average fire rate (6.670 attacks/sec)
    • High crit multiplier (2.40x)

Disadvantages over other Primary weapons (excluding modular weapons):

  • Linearly less efficient – sometimes a target may only die with four bullets, which requires an entire second burst to be fired.
  • Normal Attack (wiki attack index 1)
    • Below average reload speed (2.26 s)
    • Below average total damage (44)
    • Below average status chance (16.00%)

Notes[]

  • Like the Sybaris, the Tiberon's burst has a very tight shot grouping, which combined with its high base accuracy and negligible recoil makes it better at long-range shooting than other burst-fire weapons, such as the Burston Burston or Hind Hind.
  • The Tiberon is a very strong candidate for a tenno Specter to use thanks to its high damage per second combined with high accuracy.
  • Has a higher damage per bullet than other low-tier burst fire weapons, like Burston or Hind.

Trivia[]

  • The weapon's name may be derived from tiburón, the Spanish word for shark. Its design also appears to take cues from the animal, particularly the "blades" beneath the muzzle which resemble a shark's pectoral fins.
  • The Tiberon is the first weapon outside of Clan Research that requires a Forma to construct.
  • At the time of its release, the LatronPrime Latron Prime or the LatronWraith Latron Wraith could also be used to build the Tiberon. This was fixed in Hotfix 14.9.1 (2014-10-02).
  • Intriguingly, crafting the Tiberon requires the Latron, a semi-automatic rifle, instead of another burst-fire rifle, such as the Burston. The discrepancy can also be explained by the fact that Tiberon sports 3 separate barrels, with presumably one shot being fired from each, thus each barrel technically is its own semi-automatic weapon.
  • The Tiberon is reloaded by removing the magazine which is located at the butt end of the stock.
