How to Use the Ripper

Tear Through Necromorphs Up Close

The Ripper is a weapon that excels at tearing through Necromorph limbs and inflicting massive damage up close with its remote-aimed sawblades. It also works great for keeping multiple foes at bay, as its sawblades can easily stagger most Necromorphs on contact.

Shoot Blades Toward Distant Foes

When dealing with distant foes, you can use the Ripper's secondary fire to launch razor-sharp sawblades that ricochet multiple times before breaking. This firing mode works best in tight corridors where the ricocheting sawblades can hit their targets more than once.

Launch Active Sawblades with Secondary Fire

While using the Ripper's primary fire, you can launch the active sawblade by using the weapon's secondary fire. Doing this does not cost additional ammo, so it's a great way to maximize the damage output of a single sawblade.
