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.
This legendary weapon deals significantly more damage than most other Shredder Gauntlets in the game, and has several perks which grant many benefits in combat.
How to Use a Shredder Gauntlet | |
---|---|
1 | Hold L2 to aim, and press and hold R2 to charge the Shredder Gauntlet. The more you charge it, the longer it will slice into enemies. |
2 | Release R2 to unleash the Shredder at an enemy. |
3 | When it hits an enemy, wait for a couple of seconds while it inflicts continuous damage. |
4 | When you see the Shredder return, head towards it and run into the Shredder to catch it. |
This weapon can inflict both Acid damage and Shock damage on enemies. Elemental damage applies additional effects on their targets, such as dealing damage over time or making them more vulnerable to attacks. Certain types of elemental damage are also more effective against some enemies.
Though Tear Shredders deal siginficantly less impact damage than most Shredder types, they have exceptionally high tear damage which can be used to tear off components from enemies.
You can upgrade the weapon to increase the chances of tearing off components with its perks.
