  • The damage is dealt with every 0.4 seconds.
  • As with Ripper, Barbed Tips will work with any weapons leaving their projectiles stuck in enemies, creating synergies with those inflicting low damage at a high rate of fire.

  • Barbed Tips along with, No Mercy, and Point Blank, were suggested by a Discord user known as TheForsakenOne
