Bosses[1] 20% 15% 10%
Vehicles[1] 20% 15% 10%
Super Guardians 50% 20%  ?
Golden Gun[2] 20% 10%  ?

While the weapon is equipped, its damage is increased against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians with their Super active. This is an important condition for Rocket Launchers because the Vorpal Weapon buff is lost if the gun is stowed before impact.[3] For the purposes of Vorpal Weapon, Major and Ultra enemies count as bosses. Shriekers are considered to be vehicles.
