"These matching stilettos have increased attack speed and can unleash a flurry of multi-hit attacks."

 * One mods slot
 * VERY high rate of fire
 * Deal 50% bonus damage to armored Grineer
 * Jump attack knocks down enemies in a mid-sized area

Disadvantages:
 * Deal 50% less damage to infested (but it is still effective - 7.5*3 attacks per animation*1.5 attack speed=33 damage per seconds (Dual Heat Sword make 30 + multi target) + very fast attacks)
 * If you use fury, you'll quickly lose stamina
 * Short range
 * No knockback or stun capabilities on normal attacks. Stun chance mods have no effect
 * Critical hit damage cannot be boosted with Organ Shatter

Acquisition
The Fang can be purchased for 135 (platinum). The Fang blueprint can be purchased for  20,000 ( credits ).

Tips

 * Stun mods do not work with Fang as it has no innate knockback capabilities.
 * Equipping armor-piercing mods makes dealing with Grineer easier.
 * High attack rate makes this a decent weapon against Corpus and Infested when modded with lightning or fire respectively. Lightning Fangs are capable of stunlocking Corpus Crewmen.
