Tacks are a Red offensive Tool in Silksong: scattered ground pins that pierce enemies who step on them.
- Type
- Red (offensive)
- Source
- Sinner's Road quest
Tacks are a Red Tool that scatters sharp pins across the ground, piercing any enemy that steps on them. They turn a chokepoint or a boss's approach lane into a damage zone, and they shine when you can predict where a foe will move. You obtain them through a Crull/Benjin quest in Sinner's Road. Like all Red tools they draw on Shell Shards for their limited uses.
