How to Use the Tinker’s Pride

The Tinker’s Pride is a Tripcaster and should be used more as a means to set up traps for your enemies. You will want to keep yourself in stealth if you’re setting up the tripwires, as that is the best way to make sure enemies trigger them. If you wish to harvest parts from a machine, though, you will want to avoid the Advanced Explosive Tripwires, since explosive damage can destroy components. The Staggerbeams ammo is a bit different, as you can use those to force an enemy to be knocked down, opening up follow up attacks with a different weapon.

Where the Tinker’s Pride really shines, though, is with the Shieldwires, especially if you are fighting a machine with a lot of projectile attacks. Set this up to give yourself a nice barrier against those projectiles, making note that the shield can only absorb so much damage, before it will dissipate in a small explosion. This also includes your own shots, so you could plan it exploding if you see the machine closing into melee range.
