In this Shadow Warrior 3 Weapon Guide, we'll go over each of the weapons available, what their upgrades are, and how to make the best use of them.

• The Basilisk - Railgun

• While not a traditional weapon Lo Wang also has a Chi Push that can be used to temporarily stun enemies, or to push them into traps/off ledges

When performing finishers on certain enemies you'll also gain the use of temporary weapons

Do enemies have special weaknesses?

The majority of the enemies do not have any special weakness. The only enemy that does have a specific weakness is the Laser Shogun who is heavily armored from the front. You want to shoot the crystal on its back in order to take out this enemy. You can attack its crystal when it opens its mouth to charge its laser to fire at you, or you can get close to it and use your Chi Push. This will stun it and turn it around giving you free rein to unload on its back.

How Do I Get Weapon Lore in Shadow Warrior 3?
