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.
| 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. |
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.

Deal More Damage on Higher Ground
