There are, like, two weapons that deal Pierce/Elem damage, one that does Pierce/Shadow. Are there any that deal Shadow/Elem? If not, I think some of us could really use one, possibly as an excuse to complement the Peacemaker and Sentenza in terms of damage type coverage.

Also, I do notice that where these dual-type damage weapons would sensibly deal normal damage instead deal reduced damage, as if it were ineffective (e.g. Peacemaker does poorly against Constructs as if it only does piercing, even though it's half-elemental). What's up with that?

Because monster resistances

Because monster resistances are stronger then weaknesses.

As of right now there are no Shadow/Elemental weapons, but it gets talked about frequently.

I personally believe it would

I personally believe it would be a bad idea based on the whole piercing elemental/peircing shadow combo issue.
Resistances are stronger than weaknesses which makes a weapon like your suggestion just as useless as the antigua series

Pulsar series FTW

While it might not be as good

While it might not be as good because of the resistances and weaknesses making it ineffective bit, on a gun it would be somewhat op-

Shadow+elemental would be good on construct and jellys, neutral to undead and grimlins- this leaves out 2 of the monster types known specifically for dodging bullets, beasts and fiends.

It'd also be nice if OOO buffed the existing duel typed weapons, argent peacemaker and sentenza aren't the best of guns to begin with.

A Shadow/Elemental weapon would be...

... strong against Constructs and Slimes.

... weak against Undead and Gremlins.

... weaker against Beasts and Fiends.

As with the Sentenza, Argent Peacemaker and Radiant Sun Shards, it would only be desirable against 1/3 of all monster families.
Pure and Normal-mixed variants work well with 2/3 of all monster families, and pure Normal types can be used against any monster.

Such a weapon wouldn't be overpowered in the slightest, but I wonder if it is desired by the community and Three Rings.
