    Sort of.

    Shreding takes 1 second to charge and has a 2 second cooldown on a pallet break. That's 3 seconds compared to the normal 2.7 second pallet break time.

    That said, you can charge shred before the pallet is dropped, you can cancel shred's charge without breaking the pallet and shred moves you as well.

    So if you are far from the pallet or if you are predicting a pallet drop you can use shred to speed it up. Shred can also help fake the pallet break (or make them think you will fake it) more reliably. Otherwise normal pallet breaking is faster.

    Shred only needs to charge for 65% and has a 2 seconds stun, so minimum time saved is 0.05 seconds max time saved with prediction is 0.7 seconds

    Breaking a pallet with shred saves you about .2 seconds compared to just breaking it normally.

    I feel it faster with scred it also the only time I use his power it hard to hit for me.
