Zariman colonists originally intended to use the Phenmor in burial rites. In Orokin society, the higher the rank, the greater number of volleys for the deceased. Its stock is carved from Phenaureus Pine, a tree designed to release seedlings only onto scorched earth. In the hands of the Void, the Phenmor becomes darkly aggressive.
Phenmor is an Incarnon ceremonial rifle evolved by the Void. Starting out as a semi-automatic rifle, achieving enough headshots will allow the player to temporarily transform it into a fully automatic rapid-fire heavy weapon with bonus 
Radiation damage.

Notes[]
Evolutions[]
- When newly acquired from the Foundry, players must acquire 100 kills with the Phenmor in order to gain access to its Incarnon transformation. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
- Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.
Evolution I[]
- Unlock Challenge: Kill 100 enemies with the Phenmor.
- Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.

- Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 12 headshots will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
- Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Phenmor's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 34 rounds to a maximum of 408. Once all ammunition is expended, the Phenmor reverts to its normal form.
- Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.

Energized Munitions). - Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.

Hotfix 31.5.10 (2022-05-17)
- Fixed purchasing an Appearance Config Slot for the Phenmor prompting a confirmation for purchasing an Exilus Weapon Adapter for 20 Platinum instead of the 10 Platinum Appearance Config Slot as intended.
- To recap, players who purchased the Slot were being prompted for an Exilus Weapon Adapter, and then charged for it when the player confirmed. The Adapter was then consumed to unlock the Appearance Config Slot.
- For those who were affected up until this hotfix, upon login you will be given an Exilus Weapon Adapter for every slot purchased for the Phenmor. Purchased Appearance Config Slots will remain unaffected, you keep what you purchased!
- Due to some tech constraints, we weren’t able to run a script that would refund the Platinum difference while also distributing the consumed Adapter. If you would rather the 10 Platinum instead of the Adapters you may contact support.warframe.com with the subject line “Appearance Config Slot Inquiry for the Phenmor” or you can keep the “discounted” Exilus Weapon Adapter(s) (10 Platinum vs. 20).

- Fixed the Incarnon Weapon Evolution UI elements persisting in the Loadout screen.
Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)
- Fixed all Incarnon Evolutions that increase or reduce Critical/Status Chance not applying correctly.
- Previously, the base stats were not additive, which meant that they weren’t being applied in full. For example, the Phenmor’s Survivor’s Edge Evolution IV +10% Critical Chance +10 Status Chance was only applying a fraction of that percentage boost. They will now apply properly as described in its descriptions!
Hotfix 31.5.6 (2022-05-04)
- Fixed script error related to special Incarnon weapon reticle.
Hotfix 31.5.5 (2022-05-03)
