Synergies

• Because of its hybrid nature as a melee and ranged weapon as well as its ability to lodge projectiles in enemies it synergizes almost perfectly with Ripper.Also works well with Barbed Tips

Notes

• This is the only melee weapon to use ammo.
  • The Ferryman's Lantern^FF and Hard Light Sword do not technically share this trait because only their secondary ranged attacks in their other slots use ammo.
• Can be used with both melee and ranged mutations, as long as the weapon is using the corresponding melee or ranged attacks.
• Striking enemies in melee range will not create shrapnel, despite the description.

Trivia

• These are among the four single-slot weapons that use 2 weapons in their attack in the game, the others being the Twin Daggers, Flashing Fans^TBS and the Machete and Pistol.
