How to Use the Piercing Shredding 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.

Piercing and Tear Shredders

This weapon can use both Piercing Shredders and Tear Shredders, which makes it useful when tearing off components from machines or dealing with enemies with plenty of armor. This makes the Shredder Gauntlet incredibly versatile.
