How to Use the Ironeater Shredder Gauntlet

Throw and Catch the Shredder Repeatedly at Enemies

The Shredder Gauntlet is a unique type of weapon that uses Shredder ammo, which continuously slices into enemies for a short time before returning. As it returns, you can catch and release it again with increased damage, but it explodes after unleashing it for the fourth time.

Acid Elemental Damage

This weapon can inflict Acid damage on enemies, which causes the Corroding state. The Corroding State inflicts additional damage to enemies over time and weakens their armor. Acid elemental damage is also more effective against some enemies.

You can upgrade this weapon so it deals more damage over time, which works well with the Corrosing State caused by Acid damage.

What Does Acid Damage Do?

Piercing Shredders

Piercing Shredders are a type of piercing ammo that can be used to penetrate through enemy armor and deal damage to components underneath. However, they do little to no damage to the armor itself.
