How to Use Shadow Tripcaster

Shock Wire

	Metal Shards (x8) Wire (x4) Sparker (x8)

This ammo does not cause any damage but will stun your enemies in their place for a short period of time. It is useful of planning ambushes or even stopping charging enemies in their tracks.

Blast Wire

	Metal Shards (x8) Wire (x4) Blaze (x5)

This ammo deals high explosive damage. It can be used to set traps before engaging in a fight or even in the middle of a fight. We recommend using this against larger enemies that have a tendency to charge at you.

Fire Wire

	Metal Shards (x8) Wire (x4) Blaze (x4)

This ammo is good for creating some safe distance between you and charging machines as they will try to avoid the burning area that is left by its detonation.
