This is the [Tetra] perfected.

Electricity for massive crowd control and status spreading ricochets

__

Update: [Primed Shred] was swapped with vile accel as punch through with [Kinetic Ricochet] created weird interactions, like projectiles passing through walls instead of bouncing, etc.

[Point Strike] was traded for crit delay since puncture was buffed, giving us a final cc of 109% at 5 stacks

[Hunter Munitions] was replaced with [Stormbringer] to abuse deadheads headshot multiplier as electric procs can double dip into headshot bonus, which gives us an even higher damage ceiling than [Hunter Munitions] for the majority of content

Should you choose: [Tenet Tetra] vs [Stahlta] vs [Aeolak]

[Tetra] has the best crit stats with [Aeolak] following close behind

[Tetra] has the lowest fire rate at 5 < 6

[Tetra] has by far the best ammo economy with double the [Mag] size of both competitors and the highest reserves.

[Tetra] has the best status thanks to its 60% progen, with [Aeolak] following behind, while [Aeolak] does have innate rad and 3% higher sc its weight is almost non existent.

[Tetra] has by far the best damage per shot and dps

[Aeolak] is the only hitscan

Both [Aeolak] and stahlta have innate punch through

Tetra has Kinetic ricochet which devastates corridors and large rooms

__

Alt fire:

Tetra- 8m aoe blast damage with a -60% falloff, consumes entire mag so it is very unsustainable and has a very long downtime

Stahlta- 7.2m aoe with a 0.4s imbed delay, costs 20 ammo to charge and a 1.6 second charge up time, and suffers from a -70% dmg falloff
Alt fire explosion deals rad damage
Highest damage per shot of the three, killed by charge time and imbed delay

Aeolak- smallest radius at only 7m, but only costs 10 ammo to charge and only has a -50% falloff. Only has a 0.3s charge time and has a 1.5 fire rate, so it can reliably be spammed
Deals blast damage like [Tetra],

__

Overall:

Primary fire: [Tetra] > [Aeolak] > [Stahlta]

[Tetra] destroys the competition here, having the highest total dps by a huge margin, ricochet projectiles and double the [Mag] size, while also requiring almost 0 investment like all tenet weapons compared to the others. It shouldn’t be a surprise that it takes the top spot as the tetra has always been one of the best single target weapons period.

Aeolak has the dis/advantage of being the only hitscan, which is overall more reliable but less synergistic, however, it earns second place because it is literally the power creeping version of the [Stahlta]. Higher damage per shot, higher crit chance, crit damage, and status chance, more ammo reserves, innate rad on primary fire while also sharing stahlta’s innate punch through.

Stahlta- nothing really to say here other than this weapon has started to show its age, but its still a solid choice so don't get it twisted.

Just the Alt fire: [Aeolak] > [Stahlta] > [Tetra]

[Aeolak] takes the top spot because it has notably less falloff, very little charge time and is extremely conservative. Aeolaks alt fire can easily be spammed without much delay and has a high status chance so it can also double as an aoe primer, just don't expect any of these to nuke..

[Stahlta] alt may have the most damage but its just too slow and doesn’t give enough results in an incarnon era, s tier sound quality tho..

Tetra- lmao do not
