Hunter's Bonesaw GUIDE
Understand Hunter's Bonesaw
Useful when…
- Increase Finisher Damage against prone enemies with the Ripkas.
- Invest in ranks when this conditional finisher bonus is relevant to your play.
Condition and effect
The bonus applies against prone enemies: 20% at rank 0, 80% at rank 3, and 120% at maximum rank. The target’s prone condition is part of the effect; the supplied details do not describe a way to cause it.
Fit and investment
This is a standard Ripkas mod with Madurai polarity, base drain 2, and a maximum rank of 5. Ranking raises the conditional Finisher Damage bonus at greater fusion cost. Its value depends on encountering prone targets and using finishers against them.
A different Ripkas option
Amalgam Ripkas True Steel adds Critical Chance, with a larger listed bonus for Heavy Attacks, plus shotgun reload speed and Gore Chance. It does not share Hunter’s Bonesaw’s prone-target Finisher Damage condition; compare the effects to your intended Ripkas use.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The bonus only applies to Finisher Damage against prone enemies.
- The mod does not itself establish how targets become prone.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Applying the bonus to ordinary Ripkas attacks or non-prone targets.
- Assuming the mod causes enemies to become prone.
