The Shredder Gauntlet is a weapon type introduced in Horizon Forbidden West.

Description[]

Shredder Gauntlets are mechanical throwers, which launches discs called "Shredders" at opponents. If a shredder hits an enemy, it will return like a boomerang, allowing a gauntlet user to catch them and re-use them up to three times. Each catch and release subsequently increases the Shredder's damage and buildup. After the third catch, the next throw causes an explosion. Generally, Shredders will return in the direction Aloy is moving.

Shredder Gauntlets have the highest Tear damage of any weapon class, making them highly effective at removing enemy armor and targeting weak spots. However, making full usage of their potential requires a greater degree of skill than the other weapon types.

By default, all Shredder Gauntlets have a base 10% chance of landing a critical hit that deals 50% more damage.

Weapon Techniques[]

  • Power Shredder: Launches a special shredder that deals extra damage to a target but does not return after impact.
  • Shredder Mine: Launch a shredder that ricochets off its point of contact before hovering in place, dealing Shock damage to targets within range for a limited time.
  • Triple Shredder: Launch three shredders of currently selected type. Only one can be caught and reused.
