The game emulates dismemberment by duplicating ragdolls and turning segments 'invisible' accordingly like a puzzle, instead of just removing or hiding the ragdoll and then blasting it with multiple gore entities. The ragdoll is still there, but the textures are just altered.

For example, you kill a Grineer Lancer with a Tigris; his body is cut in half, so another ragdoll appears. The original ragdoll has its textures altered so that the lower torso is hidden. The duplicate ragdoll has the upper torso hidden.

Of course there are gore entities in the game, but they are very generic ones, like a raw human leg or arm, but those don't count as ragdolls.

Hiding the ragdoll--and then putting the gore entities--would be preferable for things that require corpses like Desecrate.
