Description[]
The Shredder is a bulky gun with yellow energy highlights. It shoots flaming saw blades which can burrow through the ground to reach a target. While digging through the ground, the movement speed of the blade will slow down considerably, but once out of the ground it will return to normal speed. After burrowing into the ground once, damage is doubled which almost always ensures a kill. Because of the slowness of the blade while underground, you have to fire strategically in order to kill someone.
Best Ways To Use This[]
A good way to use this weapon is to select a map in quickmatch like judgement. Then, go to a spawning point in which a shredder is located. Finally, go onto the top of the 2 buildings. Use the shredder and run around the top(don`t fall!) and fire randomly. Because it is affected by gravity, it will burrow down and with a chance, hit an enemy. With better luck, you might get the kill bonus "surprise." Just make sure that there`s no enemy on the same level. Also, get an automatic weapon handy if you think you`re being followed
Trivia[]

- It is far by the best weapon to get the secret, "I hate nature!", although you can do it with other weapons.
