The strand shouldn't be overlooked as a useful weapon to neutralize mules. Takes some getting used to and as you can see in the video, I have yet to master its' use. Make sure you have the strand ready by holding the right mouse button (left trigger on controller) and just as they're ready to strike, spam the left mouse button (right trigger on controller) to take them down.
