How to Use the Boomer's 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?

Best Used Against Burning Enemies

This weapon has a perk which increases the damage of this weapon when used on enemies afflicted with the Burning State caused by Fire damage. You can increase the effectiveness of these perks by upgrading your weapon.
