Literally any use for the sawblade now?

[Jagdtiger]

So, since maurice is now completely immune to both the rocket launcher and projectile boosting, and shotgunning him isnt always an option with the whiplash change, i find myself using the nailgun most of all to bring him down. Especially with the style change, i feel like its almost mandatory to bring both nailguns to be able to take down 4 maurices without "reloading", and hence no longer bring the sawblade for any reason. Does anyone have any underappreciated uses of the sawblade?

1. shot guns and nail gun is the way to kill maurices, its very good for it.

2. The saw blades are stupidly good as openers to just about any boss fight with legs (gabriel floats so they can't really hit him) they're also amazing as crowd control. However proj boosting and maurice cannon can be good at this to.

Sawblade magnet traps deal a metric ♥♥♥♥ ton of damage with little effort required and in small rooms the green variant finds its niche

[UNBREAKABLE]

Sawblade with magnets is some of the highest DPS that can be stacked with anything for barely any effort.

sawblade with magnets can be fantastic area denial. attaching a magnet to enemies that rush towards you can shred smaller enemies

maurice has always been immune to normal explosions. just use shotguns and nailgun on him since nailguns do 2x damage to maurices

sawgun is also still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome for clearing fodder/andres/boss setups

[THE ORIGINAL CYN]

also SAWBLADES can even be parried just found that out while playing with the magnets

maurice has always been inmune to explosions, the difference is that before those explosions did explode on it instead of bouncing but all your explosions have never damage them
apart from that, i usually use overhead nail for maurice and keep the magnet as sawblade

For me it's a fun way to kill hideous mass without face tanking him (useful in cybergrind). Just shoot the front part with a blue nailgun, then magnet and the green sawblade. It literally melts him and while it happens you can do something else

sawblade in cybergrid is my beloved (Im using blue saw and green nail)

Blue saws are good for taking down a group of maurice if they're close together. still good for crowd control to give you more space for actually getting to maurice with a shotty, too.

[roomba of doomba]

its a good shredding tool for ground enemies like swordsmachines and street cleaners if you use the magnet

imo sawblade mid. with the alternate revolver at least it doeos big dmg but the sawblade just ignore the entire reason why nailgun is good, wich is quantity over quality. what i mean by quant over qual is that the alt fire for the nailgun is magnet meaning its aimbot with 100 bullets, but the sawblade only has ten and the sawblades go around the enemey. im not 100% if what i said about the sawblades going around the enemy is right but its fine

sawblades i would say are always better used with magnets as they hit multiple people, you can set some traps for enemies that follow you and they get annihilated, many times i have set those 10 saw spinning and i instantly downed a swordmachine ando one or two cerberus

You can still use the Whiplash + Shotgun to beat Maurice, either:
1. Use it when he's charging his laser
2. Dash from side to side while the Hook pulls you in to avoid the skulls
Don't use this to recover health, if you want to then just dash your way to him.
