Item
Rip and Tear is an in-game item that can be bought from a Shop or can be found in a Crate. Most Items modify the Stats of the player, and some of them provide additional effects.
Rip and Tear cannot crit, and it does not trigger life steal. Enemies killed by Rip and Tear can also cause Rip and Tear to trigger on their deaths.
Scaling
Both the damage and the chance to cause an explosion increases when you gain additional Rip and Tear items. So the chance for an explosion is 20%/40%/60%/80%/100% as you get up to 5 of the item. And the damage also increases up to 500% of the starting value.
Explosion
Rip and Tear causes Explosions. The size of the explosion can be increased with Plastic Explosive. And the damage can be increased with Dynamite.
