How to Use the Sunhawk 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.

What Does Acid Damage Do?

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.

You can upgrade the weapon to increase the chances of tearing off components with its perks.

Best Used while Sliding or in Mid-Air
