Full damage will be inflicted only if the target body is struck completely by the Tiberium shard. Note that shards are considered as bullets; therefore they are subject to Kevlar armor reduction and flak armor bonus damage.

Higher Veterancy ranks will increase the base damage by a specified multiplier.

Function

The Tiberium Automatic Rifle rapidly fires shards of blue Tiberium. It is mostly effective against infantries, having reasonable damage output and excellent rate of fire, and the ability to be "sprayed and prayed". It does little damage to vehicles and buildings. However, it has a short range and no zoom lens.

The Tiberium Automatic Rifle has an alternate fire mode where it fires concentrated liquid Tiberium slugs that splash upon impact. This fire mode is more effective against vehicles and buildings, albeit the splash damage may help in hitting infantries.

The Tiberium Automatic Rifle deals higher damage per shot than the Laser Chaingun and the Volt Automatic Rifle, but falls short in clip size and rate of fire compared to the former two.

Tiberium will intoxicate infantries for periodical damage and bypass any kind of armor reduction.

Trivia

Mendoza's Tiberium Automatic Rifle combines the old Tiberium Flechette and the old Tiberium Automatic Rifle into a single weapon.
