Sample Builds

The Tiberon Prime has multiple fire modes and along with these modes it has different stats to go with it which allows the user to use it in any way they like to their convenience.

You are given the choice to go fully automatic, fire in small bursts or take semi-automatic shots at your enemies.

The Tiberon Prime along with its good stats and balanced damage can be modded for heaps of situations and used with much customization.

Below are a few sample builds:

Critical (Semi/Burst)

Adding to our base damage we have Serration along with 2 elemental damage mods for a higher amount of damage as well as elemental properties.

Point Strike, Hammer Shot and Vital Sense are added for critical chance and a higher critical multiplier.

For multishot the build has Vigilante Armaments and Split Chamber installed with the other mods.

With this build the Semi-Automatic firing mode makes use of the high critical chance built with the mods as well as the increase critical multiplier.

This gives it even higher damage capabilities and with the elemental mods, we can deal extra damage to enemies that are weak against the combined element.

Choosing the right combination of elements will have a great effect depending on the enemy of the user.

This build not only sports an excellent critical chance but extremely high critical damage as well.

Headshot (Semi/Burst)

Using the same mods from the previous build we exchange the multishot mods Split Chamber and Vigilante Armaments, and replace them with Shred which adds punch through and increases the rate.

Argon Scope is added which gives a buff that increases the critical chance even more after dealing a headshot which lasts 9 seconds.

This build is great for picking off enemies with headshots or outright taking a headshot then firing repeatedly at other enemies in quick succession.

The punch through enables multiple enemies to be hit making it easier to clear enemies that are near each other or in a line.

This build may require a bit of accuracy but will definitely pay off with the damage that can be dealt.

Elemental Damage and Status (Semi/Burst)

With this build we retain Serration, Shred, Split Chamber and Vigilante Armaments and replace the rest with either elemental damage mods, elemental damage and status mods or a combination of both.

This gives us 2 combined elements or a single stronger combined element which guarantees a higher status chance as well as a slight critical chance.

Critical (Auto)

Very similar to the previous Critical (Semi/Burst) build, with the exception of removing Viglante Armaments and replacing it with Heavy Caliber.

This build sacrifices a small amount of multishot percentage for a huge increase in base damage.

The focus of this build is to deal as much critical damage as possible with a large amount of ammunition and at a high rate of fire.

This makes use of the automatic firing mode so we are able to deal successive shots with high chances of dealing critical hits within a small period of time.

This build does not go well with long distance due to the accuracy penalty of the Heavy Caliber mod and is advised to be used for low to medium range.

Headshot (Auto)

Similar to the previous build, we retain most of the mods except we have exchanged Split Shot for Argon Scope, removing the chance of multishot and increasing the critical chance to a higher rate.

This makes use of the Argon Scope buff and intends to deal continued shots at enemies while aiming to deal several critical hits in the process.

This build works well when firing at enemies from low to medium range and headshots will trigger the buff from Argon Scope making the remaining shots have the increased critical chance.

Status (Auto)

Taking up from the Status (Semi/Brust) build, we retain most of the mods and replace Vigilante Armaments with Heavy Caliber.

This trades a small amount of multishot for increased damage, thus increasing the overall elemental damage of the build while adding high status chance with it.

This build is perfect for dealing high amounts of status damage at low to medium ranges while being able to cause status effects that either deal damage in an area, damage over time.

Mixing the elements may determine a single or dual element combination and the user need only choose the respective mods to get the elements they desire.

These are not the only builds available for the Tiberon Prime, but they are pretty useful in many situations.

There are tons of ways to mod this weapon and it all can vary depending on the user and their choice of mods.

Overview

A seemingly complex weapon for some, the Tiberon Prime has a unique setting which allows the user to toggle between semi-automatic, Burst-fire and Automatic.

These can be put to the advantage of the user when choosing to build for a single fire mode or making builds for all of them where they may use this to their advantage by changing firing modes.

Planning things strategically like using semi-automatic for enemies far away and switching to automatic when they are near can lead to a great advantage.

The Tiberon Prime is an all-around weapon and can be used very efficiently regardless of which firing mode is chosen.

The weapon itself is strong but when used strategically and choosing the modes for the right situation, the Tiberon Prime may become a game changer in the hands of its user.
