Rifles and Bows are great for dealing high amounts of damage, and when it comes to hitting multiple enemies at once, Shred is a useful mod.
Shred increases a primary weapon’s fire rate and adds additional punch through, letting weapons fire more rounds while piercing further through enemies in a line.
This makes it especially effective for rapid-fire rifles and bows, giving players the ability to hit multiple targets and improve overall damage output per shot.
How To Get Shred?
Shred can be obtained from Nightmare Mode missions, where it appears as a rotation B reward at the end of the mission for completing objectives successfully.
The drop is random, so multiple runs may be required, though choosing nodes with higher drop chances can improve the odds of obtaining the mod.
Trading with other Tenno is also a reliable option, letting players acquire Shred without relying on chance from Nightmare Mode rewards.
Shred Effects
Shred increases a rifle’s fire rate by up to 30 percent and a bow’s fire rate by up to 60 percent, allowing weapons to shoot faster and fire more shots over time.
It also provides up to 1.2 meters of punch through at max rank, letting projectiles pass through multiple enemies and increasing damage efficiency against grouped targets.
For bows, the fire rate increase is doubled, improving draw speed and letting chargeable shots reach full power faster without affecting accuracy.
In practical terms, Shred benefits weapons designed to hit multiple targets or for builds that rely on sustained firing, giving more shots and improved crowd-clearing capability.
