Tigris

The Tigris is a Tenno double-barrel shotgun. Being a duplex-automatic weapon, it has a unique firing mechanism, in that pressing and holding the fire button will fire one shell, while releasing the fire button will also fire a shell; tapping the attack button will fire two shells in rapid succession, thus making this weapon flexible against heavy and light enemies. It deals massive damage per shot, but its 2-round magazine and duplex-auto nature force a reload after every shot, limiting its effectiveness against groups of enemies.
This weapon can be sold for .
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily  damage.
*Can use the Tigris-exclusive mod.
*Unique trigger type allows for two rapid shots against tough targets, or careful shot management against many weaker opponents. First shot on button press, the second on button release.
==Acquisition==
The Tigris's blueprint can be purchased from the Market.
==Notes==
*Even if the weapon fires only one round, the reload animation is shown to eject two rounds, but will still draw one round from the ammo pool.
*As the Tigris has an extremely low magazine capacity, upgrades such as at Rank 2 (+30%) will raise capacity to 3. For a 4-round magazine combine at Rank 5 (+60%) and a at Rank 1 (+20% Capacity, -6% Reload) or a rank 7 or higher .
**When having 3 shells per magazine however, the first 2 will fire normally but there will be a short delay before the extra one can be fired. This delay can be decreased by , although this will have no effect to the already very fast burst of the first 2 shots.
==Tips==
*Due to its unique firing mode it is possible to reload straight after firing the first round, saving ammo when up against weak solo enemies.
*Performing actions that would normally cancel charge attacks (ex. rolling, ledge grabs etc.) when the first shot has been expended will lock the second shot in place, preventing it from firing when the attack button is released; the shot will only be triggered upon tapping the attack button again. This can be used to conserve the second shot without constantly holding down the attack button.
*The Tigris has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it an ideal candidate for a to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
*Using the Tigris requires a very different mindset from other shotguns; whereas the other shotguns all allow quick follow-ups, the double-barrel Tigris has to pick and choose its shots more carefully. Similarly, the Tigris is not focused towards damage per second, instead focusing entirely on burst damage. Bear this in mind when using it and it quickly will become a valuable asset.
*Whilst the Tigris normally fires both shots in rapid succession, holding down the attack button will fire only the first shot; releasing left-click will then fire the other. This can be used to manage and place shots more efficiently.
*Due to the weapon's low magazine size and tight spread, consider using and/or in order to deal with large groups more effectively.
*The Tigris' high base damage makes it effective against lightly armored/shielded enemies such as the Infested. When fighting heavily armored/shielded enemies, consider using and respectively to take advantage of the Tigris' high status chance.
**Due to its low and damage, installing , or is not recommended.
** and are highly effective at increasing the damage.
*Whilst the Tigris is powerful and very accurate, its low pellet count means that even one projectile missing can significantly reduce the firepower of its shots. is essential for maximizing the Tigris' firepower.
**With a magazine size of 4, you can fire 2 bursts, with a short delay between them.
**Using burst-cancelling (e.g. rolling, ledge-grabs) described above will cause the weapon to fire another two-shot burst pattern when fired again, if it has a capacity of 3 or 4. This allows for a much wider range of firing patterns (e.g. fire one, roll-cancel, fire two, fire one).
*Reloading manually right after emptying the magazine skips the after-firing delay which is very useful for a 2-shot build.
==Trivia==
*The Tigris is a break-action shotgun, which the barrels can be hinged, and rotated perpendicular to the bore axis to expose the breech and allow loading and unloading of rounds.
*The Tigris was first seen on a concept art sheet along with the and . Though it was one of the most popular of the three concepts, it was the last to be completed.
*The name of this weapon has two possible sources;
**tigris is the Latin word for "tiger", possibly reflecting this weapon's bladed design and high percentage of damage; or
**The Tigris river, which was one of two rivers (the other being the Euphrates river) that served as the birthplace for Mesopotamia. 
*The weapon's buff on was suggested comically by Scott from Digital Extremes, claiming:
*This is technically the first shotgun to have a burst-fire feature.
*Up until , Specters wielding this weapon used it as a fully automatic weapon without the need to reload, resulting in incredible mid-range firepower.
*The Tigris, along with the similar looking and , can be purchased from the Razor Gunplay Bundle.
==Bugs==
*When reloading the Tigris with 1 shell in the magazine, its user will be forced into an awkward reloading animation after its actual reload. This is purely visual.
*On occasion when shooting both rounds at a target, said target's corpse will be duplicated.
*The Tigris' metallic surface has been changed into a plastic material, though it is unknown if this is a bug or intended feature, as other weapons in the Tigris family ( and ) have kept their metallic material. It was changed in a recent patch without mention.
