Tips

 * Staggering Force doesn't work with Fang as it has no innate knockback capabilities.
 * High attack rate makes this a decent weapon against Corpus and Infested when modded with Shocking Touch or Molten Impact respectively. Fangs with Shocking Touch are capable of stunlocking Corpus Crewmen.
 * Jumping, crouching and attacking in quick succession will make you leap very far with this weapon equipped. Using a Fury mod will make you leap even further.

Trivia

 * In hidden rooms within Corpus ships, dead grineer are found on medical tables, and beside them is a cart with a bloody Fang. It is speculated that this weapon is a torture/medical tool used by Corpus.
