The Tigris Prime is the primed variant of the Tigris shotgun. Featuring the highest base damage of any non-Archwing weapon, it is balanced out by its low magazine size and damage falloff.
Tigris Prime was added along with Nekros Prime and Galatine Prime in Hotfix: The Silver Grove 3 (2016-08-23).
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.

Tips
- Because of the mechanics of status chance, reaching 100% status chance results in many more status effects than 90% or even 99% would.
- As mentioned above, the Tigris Prime can achieve 100% status chance with a combination of Toxic Barrage, Frigid Blast, Shell Shock, and Scattering Inferno.
- 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.
