==Tips==
*Due to the weapon's high damage but low and damage, consider using this to drain the enemies' shield first then finish them with other weapons which have higher damage where the Cernos lacks. Alternatively, consider making this your main bow for going against Corpus troops, the majority of which have high shields but very low health.
*With a maxed mod, it is possible to raise the Cernos' critical chance to 103.3%, ensuring that all shots will deal critical damage.
**Using a maxed Critical Delay however will also result in the Cernos having an even slower fire rate. This can be countered with the usage of a fire rate mod, preferably .
==Trivia==
*The name "Cernos" means "horn" in Gaulish.
*Being an Impact oriented bow, the Cernos uses arrows with a mace-like head, with a larger impact area. This spreads the kinetic energy of the arrows across a wider area, creating a blunt impact. Judging by the hole in the middle of the head, and the fact that it can still pin enemies to walls, it is likely the arrows are hollow to house a spring-loaded punch system that fires a spike upon impact.
*As of , the Cernos has the most variations of all weapons, having a total of 5 weapons in its family: basic, Prime, Rakta, Mutalist and Proboscis.
**The Cernos is also the first weapon to have 2 upgraded forms. With both Mutalist and Proboscics requiring the other form respectively in order to be built
