While the damage for the standard Charge Shotguns may seem low, these will get more powerful the longer your charge the shot up for. As such, we’d highly advise always charging the shot up, as opposed to just press the shoot button and simply hoping for the best.
The three new mythic weapons will all be acquired by defeating the Henchman ‘bosses’ just as the Boom Bow, Skye’s Assault Rifle, and Meowscle’s Pew Pew rifle were last season.
