The Tenet Arca Plasmor is extremely powerful in Warframe and can be acquired by defeating a Sister of Parvos that spawned with it. The weapon has great status chance and damage, making it a fantastic choice for any shotgun user in the game. While the noise level of this gun is alarming, enemies killed by it get vaporized, slightly contributing to the stealth factor.

The projectiles shot by this weapon ricochet off surfaces, clearing large waves efficiently. For optimal damage, one should build the weapon around its high-status chance and large AoE.

One of the best features of Tenet weapons is the Progenitor. It is an elemental bonus that the weapon receives depending on the Warframe one uses to create the Sister of Parvos.

While all the elemental bonuses are potent, some work better than others. Toxin is one of the best elemental bonuses in Warframe, as one can quickly turn it into viral and deal excessive damage.

One can get the Toxin bonus by using these Warframes:

• Atlas
• Dagath
• Ivara
• Khora
• Nekros
• Nidus
• Oberon
• Saryn

The Tenet Arca Plasmor is an excellent shotgun, and players must build it around multiple shots, critical chance, increased fire rate, and damage. Here’s a list of all the mods that one can use.

• Galvanized Savvy
• Galvanized hell
• Primed Point Blank
• Primed Ravage
• Critical Deceleration
• Amalgam Shotgun Spaz
• Galvanized Acceleration
• Shotgun Barrage

The Tenet Arca Plasmor requires increased multi-shots; one can use Galvanized Hell to raise it to 110%. The weapon has high damage potential and can be used with Critical Deceleration and Primed Ravage for astonishing critical damage.

The weapon shoots three-meter-thick projectiles. Players can use Galvanized Acceleration to increase its speed by 30% and add beam length. When an enemy is killed, the mod adds 30% more speed and beam length for 10 seconds, making it one of the best mods for Tenet Arca Plasmor.

The shotgun also needs status chance. This is where Galvanized Savvy comes in, increasing the status chance by 80%. Primed Point Blank can increase the weapon's damage by 165%, making it highly lethal.

The Tenet Arca Plasmor has a meager fire rate, further decreasing when Critical Deceleration is used. Players must increase it by using Shotgun Barrage and Amalgam Shotgun Spaz.
