Serrated: This weapon has a 3% chance to dismember opponents.

Serrated is a weapon mod that only applies to Long blades and Axes. When a weapon modded with serrated strikes an opponent, there is a 3% chance to dismember, which can potentially decapitate even if the user does not have the skill learned. The weapon does not need to penetrate to dismember.

Decapitation Chance

When the dismember effect of serrated activates, there is a 1 in 1000 chance to add decapitatable body parts (namely, heads) to the list of removable body parts which it might randomly dismember. Even then, the game must select a decapitatable body part from the overall list of removable parts, making the chance to decapitate with this item mod lower than 1 in 1000. This equates to a chance of HeadPartCount / RemovablePartCount * 0.001 .[1]

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Because serrated doesn't require the weapon to penetrate, even low-tier weapons with this mod can be quite dangerous.

Trivia

  • astral tabbies have a special variant of serrated on their bite which has a 75% chance to dismember, rather than 3%.
  • Prior to the Palladium Reef update (2.0.202.*), serrated was only able to decapitate if the user had the Decapitate skill, however the chance to decapitate was significantly higher.
