Shock weapons crackle with electricity and are very effective against shields, making them useful against shielded bandits and Guardians. Shock bullets will crack with electricity when they impact. When a shock weapon's effect triggers, high damage is dealt to the enemy's shield and they take damage over time. If an enemy dies to shock damage, they will start violently convulsing before having their bodies charred to dust.
- Guns are the most obvious, as shock can be found firing from any weapon type.
- Barrels which are blue in color contain electricity and when they explode, they electrocute all enemies within the blast radius when ignited.
- Grenades can also deal shock damage if a "Shock" upgrade is on the equipped grenade mod.
- Shields can also produce an electric burst or nova when depleted.
- Creatures can also have the ability to generate electricity. All creatures capable of creating shock are also immune to shock.
- Action skills can be enhanced by a shock artifact, creating the electric effect when used on enemies.
