It is used to insert in a Melee weapon so that it can be part of a module combination. It is also used to increase the damage radius of your melee weapon, dealing damage in a much wider radius.

Trivia

• This and the Shiv are the only modules that look like weapons.
• It can also increase the area damage weapons range like the Storm Hammer and Triple Bite, but this was Nerfed in the 21.2.0 update, meaning that it cannot increase the melee area damage range.
