Using this tactic can conserve your ammo. A tactic that can be utilized for the Ripper with this method is to count its duration in your mind when the time is nearly up that the blade is being wielded by Kinesis, you can shoot the blade to another enemy.The distance between the tethered blade and the Ripper can be adjusted by toggling Kinesis on and off, otherwise hitting close-up enemies involves directing the blade towards the floor and generally towards the Necromorph's feet.With Kinesis, you can grab the used saw from secondary fire and redirect the blade, though you need to be quick, accurate, and have fully upgraded the Kinesis module for it to be effective.Mastering the primary fire of the Ripper involves memorizing the distance the tethered blade floats in front of the Ripper so you can launch it as soon as a Necromorph steps within range of that distance.However, if one upgrades the Ripper, it can become a valuable asset, mainly because of its low demand of ammunition. The low starting damage of the Ripper can also be an obstacle for some players, as it can be difficult to keep enemies at bay while firing the Ripper.If one misses the target, simply aim down to retract the blade and re-aim at an enemy - the tether will retract back towards Isaac. The Ripper can be difficult for newer players to handle one must prevent the saw from passing an enemy, by constantly keeping the reticle on target.Needless to say, this works best in in places you can funnel enemies. With stronger enemies, you can use the Ripper as a buffer to hold them at bay in emergencies.Do not use the Ripper if there are Swarmers on you for this reason, as the blade will be launched and then instantly lost. It should be noted that the tethered blade is lost if you take damage.The Ripper's best uses are in small corridors where the player doesn't have to move the reticle as much, as it can stun Necromorphs on contact allowing a second or two to take out their legs.Similarly, Exploders should not be taken on with the primary fire of the Ripper (unless you have very good blade control) since the close range puts Isaac at risk of taking damage from an exploding pustule.Although it can work against Guardians with the secondary fire, it is strongly advised NOT to use the primary fire against them, as it can cause Isaac to get to close resulting in an instant death. A Ripper can also be handy against Dividers, Lurkers, and Leapers.
