I think its been shown that shredders actually follow your direction at the point at which they start to return. But if you're circle strafing the whole time it will very much have the same effect. Point is, pick a direction and stick to it.


Yeah, I really think the tutorial could've done a better job telegraphing the directionality. I avoided it for most of the game because it just felt unnecessarily complicated for how chaotic some fights actually get, but understanding the sweet spot — mid-range, keep running in the same direction — made it one of my favorite weapons. You can really clown on some of the big baddies once you figure out the sweet spot.
