How to Use the Ripsteel 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.

Tear Shredders

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.
