Build it if you enjoy burst-fire rifles and appreciate precision. Its main strength is its tight shot spread, making it excellent for long-range headshots. Its weakness is the need for precise timing to maximize fire rate.
Fires two bullets in quick succession with minimal recoil, allowing for precise targeting. It takes an Incarnon Genesis adapter from the Steel Path Circuit, which is where most of its 2026 power comes from.
The Sybaris is a Tenno lever-action rifle, introduced in Update 13.3, known for its distinctive two-shot burst fire. It is often compared to the Grinlok as a Tenno equivalent.
This weapon excels in precision, featuring an almost nonexistent recoil and a very tight shot spread. This characteristic makes it suitable for landing both shots of a burst on a small target, even at long ranges, and is ideal for headshots.
The Sybaris has an Incarnon Genesis form available from the Steel Path Circuit, which significantly enhances its capabilities and transforms it, offering newfound strength and evolutions.
How to get the Sybaris
- Research the Sybaris blueprint from the Tenno Lab in the Clan Dojo.
- Acquire the Sybaris Incarnon Genesis from the Steel Path Circuit after completing The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path.
