The Shred Alert is an action item for all classes. When activated, the user pulls out a black, v-shaped guitar with team-colored decals, and plays a quick metal riff accompanied with pyrotechnics, spotlights and finished off with a lightning strike.

This item is awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchase Brütal Legend on Steam before February 26, 2013[1].

Update history

  • The Shred Alert was added to the game.

February 22, 2013 Patch

  • Fixed not hearing the sound for the Shred Alert taunt while playing Mann Vs. Machine.
  • Fixed players spamming the Shred Alert taunt in spawn rooms by changing their loadout presets.

Trivia

  • The taunt's name is a play on the words "red alert", meaning the highest level of alert in military or civil defense.
  • The decription refers to Yngwie Malmsteen, a Swedish guitarist who has been playing neo-classical style heavy metal music since the 1980's.

Bugs

  • Taunting while using the Ullapool Caber will taunt with the Ullapool Caber instead of the guitar.
  • Taunting while using the Sandman or Wrap Assassin will cause the ball/bauble to disappear in client view.
  • Taunting while on the BLU Team sometimes spawns a red guitar instead of a blue one.
